    Why do people pay so much for Iphones in other countries? I know they dont have that product in china or hong kong. Why the resale value in china is 1000 and in hong kong

    last year i saw them too, available at 3g shops in HK

    in Holland is with plan at least 120 euro.
    till 500 euro for the cheapest plan.

    strange, due in Belgium u can buy it without plan for 675 euro 32 gb version

    everything from apple is expensive ( see the Macbook and Mac)

    yea i agree apple is more expensive than other phones and their phones don't drop in price. it just gets replaced by a new generation model which is roughly around the same price but it will probably drop in price considering tech is getting better and if u look at the ipods, they drop in price or get larger space capacity. then again i guess u get a higher resale value as well so it works out to be the same if not a better offer to invest in an iphone.
