My boss calls me up after I leave the office to mail him an important file that he forgot. I am travelling by train back home and take my iPhone out. With the internet connection, I login, locate the file in my mail and forward it to him. All this happens in a minute or two without me having to get worried or travelling all the way back. My boss sends a thank you on the text as well, signifying a job well done.
The benefits of communications and technology are many, and with the iPhone 3GS one can cross all barriers and use their handsets as their laptops. iPhone has been a path-breaking product as it offers fast web-browsing and various apps which people can easily use. It is easy to navigate and the graphics (like with every Apple product) are top notch.
But how did we get here?
iPhone versions and their Prices:
iPhone launched with its first generation with an 8GB storage at a cost of $599. It gradually came down to $399. Then the iPhone 3G with 8GB storage came for $199. It also had a 3G data service, built-in GPS and many other features as well. This was then upgraded to 32GB which had an improved camera and various other features as well.
But people were furious with the high price on the new version. The major problem was that people who had bought the earlier version of iPhone 3G will have to pay 6 months of their remaining contract, which amounts to at least 200 pounds. People started petitions on twitter and facebook mocking iPhone’s policy and wanted Apple to offer the new services at reasonable prices.
The Other Group of iPhone users:
Some people think that the new version is worth the extra price. It has an extended battery life and the 3GS has two hours worth extra talk-time on 2G and three hours Wi-Fi and Bluetooth option. It has voice control which means that users can say what music track the phone should play. It has a better camera as well.
iPhone has also given the option to the people to pay off their contract and buy new hardware for free. Parental controls have been added and if people lose their iPhone, they can find where it is on a website. Apple has also planned to get a cheaper version, under the price of 100 pounds which will make the phone affordable to everyone.
iPhone 3GS price without plan:
The iPhone 3GS with the PayG structure costs as follows:
- 8GB costs around 340 pounds.
- 16 GB around 440 pounds
- 32GB at 530 pounds.
Apart from this, there is also the monthly payment structure with option for 18 and 24 months.
All the plans have a tariff and a monthly premium for the device depending on the option one wants. This also varies according to the 8GB, 16GB or 32GB models as well. The tariff varies from 30 pounds to 74 pounds for 18 months and 34 pounds to 74 pounds for 24 months. All payment models have free data and Wi-Fi.
The iPhone 3GS 8GB model has a monthly payment of around 96 pounds in the 18-month period while it has an additional 87 pounds payment for a month. The iPhone 3GS 16GB model has a payment structure of around 184 pounds and 87 pounds for the 18-month period and an additional 175 pounds and 96 pounds for the 24-month period.
The iPhone 3GS 32GB model has a payment structure of around 274 pounds, 175 pounds and 96 pounds for the 18-month period, it also has an additional 175 pounds and 96 pounds for the 24-month period.
These prices depend and vary according to the tariff and the model one is using. Basically, the device costs anything between free and 275 pounds for 32GB model and between free and 185 pounds for the 16GB model. Apart from this, the internet connection has additional costs and adding all this, one does realise whether the iPhone 3GS is too costly.
But the truth is that iPhone has the best graphics and the fastest browser and people who have already used it before cannot go back to something less. Hence, one who uses an iPhone once will look forward to the next model in the iPhone series to just get faster and better, sometimes at a higher cost.
It does not matter how they get it. Some file petitions to lower the price while some justify the higher price with the additional features that the iPhone 3GS has and go for the purchase. But what is more important is to keep coming back to our site as we update you on the latest iPhone 3GS price in UK – with and without plan.
