The iPhone comes to Tesco

[timmmah]

I've found out that Tesco, is to sell the iPhone on Tesco Mobile.

Like WTF?

I reckon a iPhone price war is definately about to break out when this happens.

Check it out for yourself: http://direct.tesco.com/p/inc/specials/iphone/default.asp

I'm interested to see what the tariffs are as whilst I already own an iPhone and still want one, my 18 month contract is over so I am free to move to any deal available.

Its a joint venture with o2 so id imagine they will be governed by o2s prices

Awesome, I've been saving my £1 clubcard voucher for something!!

Should be interesting, Terrible timing.

 

[AK]

vodafone in january too. Hopefully they will start to drop the prices which are still a bit much imo.

Tesco might as they have the power to do anything. But they'll be doing it as a loss leader.

The rest wont.

Apple govern all the contracts that the operators can offer. There won't be much of a price war imo

I hope that's not true. Its hugely over priced. But I sooooo want one

I don't think they're overpriced TBH.

IIRC Tesco Mobile + O2 are one and the same. Doubt there will be any deals.

 

[Revels]

Yeah. They are. But Tesco have the power to pay x for the iPhone and sell it at x-y... But the contacts will be the same as they can't alter those.

I don't think they're overpriced TBH.

Nope.

You get what you pay for.

If you want a free phone and a £15 a month deal, get the latest thing from SE.

Everyone always says "your mac is s**t my windows laptop has xxx GHZ and 20billion gb's of ram and cost me 50p".

Thats great, In 5 years time tell me your using the same laptop. I dare you.

Im sure Apple must be governing the prices. So i wouldnt expect more than £5 difference compared to others!!

I've used the same desktop for nearly 7 years and my laptop is older, only thing wrong with the laptop is human handling errors

I'd be more appealed to it if it was the size of the 5800, it's far too much like a patio slab.

I can see Tesco doing a good deal on it though, after all, it's gonna be one extra thing over the other supermarkets.

My Mac desktop is just passed its 10th birthday, still runs fast as fook

Point still stands, you get what you pay for.

I only replaced my 5+ year old laptop because I wanted a change from white and wanted something newer and better. If anything, that ran faster on XP than my new laptop runs on Vista and 7.

I agree you get what you pay for, but other phone manufactures (back on topic ) are catching up with the technology for cheaper. You would think apple would try and compete.

Don't even get me started on apple computers. Overpriced doesn't quite say it. Plus PC's are better

 

[daydotz]

No deals to be had apple will control everyone even if you pay top money these days it doesn't always get you decent products everyone wants it as cheap as they can find it
