There, the iPhone is more expensive than in Poland - Onet.pl


Brazil is famous for its delicious coffee, female curves, brilliant players, the best carnival event i. .. Now also the most expensive iPhone 4S.

* ONET_CONTENTMORE_START *

* page # 0 *In the “coffee country” 4S iPhone price starts from 3600 for BRL, which gives a calculated amount of nearly 6,500 zlotys. And it is a model with 16 GB of memory. The model with 64 GB of onboard memory is not yet available, but until you dread to think how much it will cost. Interestingly, other Apple products are offered in a rather “normal” prices – iPhone 4S costing roughly the same as the MacBook Pro. iPhone 4 8 GB of internal memory there costs the equivalent of $ 1700.

In a country with high economic growth, but where there is poverty, and most of the slum area, occupied, price of new iPhones can be regarded as absurd. Note that this is not Apple’s pricing policy, only the antics of local operators with exclusive news.

Is it worth paying the penalty for the iPhone 4S? - CNN

                                                   

    
Plain SmarTone 4S or iPhone? That is the question … / AFP

  • Another gadget Apple shows its true wild nature. This time it fell on one of the copies of the iPhone 4, which for unknown reasons exploded aboard one of Australia’s passenger aircraft. more »

According to a survey conducted by CIRP (Consumer Intelligence Research Partners) in the United States as much as 45 percent. Consumer broke an agreement with the previous operator and paid the penalty just to be able to enjoy the new iPhone (4S, older models were selected occasionally). Every third person in the group surveyed by the way the operator has changed, and as many as seven out of ten had to pay more than $ 100 for early termination of the contract. The most eager for 4S were those who had already had to deal with some model of the iPhone (as much as 71 percent.), While the percentage of people migrating from another platform was 18 percent. , For 11 percent. 4S model tested was the first smartphone.

30 percent. four of the respondents decided to replace the version of the 4S, but only one in four did so in a stationary store or through online Apple Store. The vast majority (75 percent). Preferred to buy a machine operator. Despite high prices, 23 percent. buyers opted for the largest variant of condenser, which is 64 GB. Women, in turn, more pay attention to the color – if they had a choice of white and black iPhone 4 4S, chooses on the first.

Are these results surprising? Not necessarily, in the end relate to America and its people appreciated the Cupertino giant’s products. It is hard to believe that in Poland so many people solve the contract early, and bought the iPhone, especially since it costs much more. Penalties for termination are rather higher. The most common sense approaches to the fair sex case: if the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S not differ in appearance, why overpay for a newer model?
