subject: Iphone 5 Contracts And The 4g Conundrum [print this page] With the release of the brand new iPhone 5 come's a flurry of new interest in the latest gadget from Apple, with a huge success greeting most all of the products the iPhone has been seeing incrementally greater sales figures with each release. Because of its success it has remained very much a premium piece of kit and because of this it's important to make sure you get the best deal for you in looking for the cheapest iPhone contracts. Now Apple knows how to turn a buck which is why their greatest steal is capacity, it only costs them about $17 to increase the capacity from 16-32GB heck it"s probably cheaper for the new iPhone 5 which is why when you pay an extra 100-200 for their extra capacity all the way up to 64GB you are paying a high premium for increasingly cheaper flash memory.
The major networks all have their hands Apple"s poster boy product so iPhone 5 contracts are more numerous than ever so expect greater competition in the market. However with the iPhone such a premium device they are only willing to budge so far as they know how much you want one. There is however one network who you can squeeze for a bit more. Three mobile are the underdog they are new comers and in spite of the fact they are 10 years old now they only came on the scene during the last spectrum auction, bagging themselves some bandwidth and planting a 3G only network on it. And now that it"s all about 4G they made a deal with Orange T-Mobile to grab some 4G suitable spectrum for use in 2013. Now as it turns out Three have taken the good part of 10 years to turn a profit which is why they are especially happy to offer us unlimited data on their iPhone contracts along with copious amounts of talk time and more texts than its possible for the average human to use each month just to bring us onto their side. Lucky for us this all comes at prices the average network would refuse to offer which makes Three's underdog status something to take advantage of. Recent Ofcom polls have agreed that Three offers the best and most consistent download speed often exceeding 3Mbps which is decent stuff for a mobile network. So while 4G is a good year away from being a major roll out in the UK you can know all the networks will be happy to alter your contract to make it suitable for 4G once they are ready, how do we know this? Well Orange T-Mobile"s new venture EE is offering this, since 4G is not likely to be rolled out till the end of the year they don"t want to shut out new iPhone contracts customers now so they are offering to change your contract once it ready.
