While the iPhone 5 release date is yet to be known, several rumors claim that it will be unveiled sometime between September or October of 2011. Many of the details regarding the phone 5 remain unconfirmed by apple, however this has not stopped several speculations regarding the price, features, and technical improvements of the iPhone.
As of yet, the exact iPhone 5 price is undetermined, however we can learn a lot about what to expect by examining previous iPhone models. The first iPhone, for example, was the first of it’s kind.
Because of this, it was able to earn a huge customer fan base with people willing to pay the $499 price tag that came with it.
The iPhone 3G was launched in 2008 and had a much wider competition than the previous models. Because of this, the price was a much lower $199 and quickly became the most popular iPhone to be offered.
The latest iPhone 4 was once again the first of it’s kind. While phones have come a long way, the iPhone 4 had specifications that increased the price to around the same as the first model.
With the iPhone 5 how much the price is has yet to be determined, but based on previous models, the iPhone 5 price can go one of two ways. The first theory is that the iPhone 5 price will be around $200. Many argue that this would be wise because more people would be able to afford it. The second theory is that the iPhone 5 price will be much more expensive, due to new iPhone 5 features that other phones aren’t equipped with yet. This theory is much more likely as it has already been confirmed that the iPhone 5 will be using a new data storage system based on the iCloud software.
Like all items, with the iPhone 5 how much the phone costs depends on how much customers are willing to pay. If the phone simply has basic features that can be found on other models that are on the market, it likely only cost a couple hundred dollars at most. However, if the phone has newer, ground breaking features, which is expected with the iPhone 5 how much the price is simply depends on how great the features are.
Based on the limited information we know so far, the price of the iPhone 5 will likely be between $500 to $800 dollars.
