On Apple's official pages in the United Kingdom, France and Germany, the official prices that the different versions of the iPhone 5 will have are beginning to be published. As you already know, there will be three editions of the new phone from the Californian firm, differing by the internal memory that they will equip: 16, 32 and 64 GB. Although it had been claimed that the iPhone 5 would retain the prices of the iPhone 4S, ultimately it has not been.
Nothing less than 680 euros will have to pay for the iPhone 5 in free format if we choose the 16 GB model. In case we want the 32 GB one, the price to pay amounts to 780 euros. But the biggest nonsense is in the 64 GB model , which requires a payment of 900 euros if we want to take it home. It is surprising that, at the most competitive moment in the smart mobile phone market, and with Samsung tightening the nuts, Apple does not opt for a more aggressive commercial policy, expanding the margins of an elitism that, on the other hand, it is a company logo.
The prices of the iPhone 5 are not the only thing that surprises. As if that were not enough, Apple lowers the price of the iPhone 4S by just a few euros, a model that has already been on the market for almost a year and will cost 570 euros from now on "" until last Tuesday, the phone could buy for 600 euros. And not to mention the iPhone 4, which becomes the company's mid-range model with a price of 390 euros: the reduction in two years has been 210 euros.
But back to the new high - end company, and Apple does not valid has only to show that it has suffered serious information leaks, which have allowed to know the technical composition of the iPhone 5 with almost several months prior to the presentation of the device; nor that the general feeling of amateurs and professionals has coincided on a certain note of disappointment; Not even with the few innovations that the iPhone 5 presents focus on a screen based on a standard that the rest of the manufacturers stopped using two years ago for their top of the range, a camera that renews the lenses or a processador whose architecture remains a mystery.
Far from it, it has also opted for a pricing policy that, in the midst of the economic crisis, poses a challenge to the pockets of many users who will have to go en masse to the financing or subsidy options of operators if they want to get hold of the iPhone 5. In any case, the iPhone 5 maintains some points of its configuration that are really attractive. The new design is one of the best on the market, resulting in a very elegant, thin and light terminal. It also maintains flawless Retina resolution and continues to capture spectacular photos. What less.For 680 euros it would only be missing that this iPhone 5 did not wear.
