Personally I think a couple of mm all round would be nice. I use mine with a case on which makes it more bulky and prefer it like that.

There's no pictures this time around either, so definitely seems unlikely

The police have confirmed they attended the guys house who "obtained" the phone with Apple employees so i don't think its a fake. If I found I phone while I would take a photo i would be very careful about where I posted it after the last time it happened.

I'd upload it from the neighbours wifi through Tor as soon as I'd taken the picture.

Buying outright as don't want stuck in no 18-24 month contract.

Buy a few sell on like with the 4 for silly money when apple run out of stock.

Any other company, probably nothing, with Apple you'll be arrested and all your equipment seized quickstyle, that's what happened last year.

iPhone 4 were selling for £750+ when apple stores were sold out so £251 on each 16gb 4!

Depends if apple will have larger stocks available on release date this time.

Its a risky game which i've played for every iphone release since the original. The only one that didn't make much profit was when the iPhone 4 was released in white but thats to be expected tbh.

Problem is, to get people who are willing to spend £750 on a £500 phone you have to sell it on ebay which means you have to put up with a lot of hassle, idiots and charges.

It's also a risk if Apple offer reserves and drip feed stock like with the iPad 2 resulting in the people who really wanted one, getting one for normal price through Apple fairly easily.

p.s. If I found the iPhone 5 i'd take a picture and send it to Tim Cook for a ransom as though I'd got it hostage

If you think Apple would do anything other than get you done for handling stolen goods and make sure you were sent to iPrison with iRapers you are deluded.

I'm amazed people have these on contract and pay over £1000 every 12-18 months.

mine cost about £700 over 18 months

although, £500 to buy outright then 15 a month is about the same but i have to shell out £500 in one go

How much cheaper do you make it to be by buying it outright and getting a sim only deal?

I must be doing something wrong but I worked it out to be only something like £30 cheaper doing it sim only

iPhone 4 contracts are much less now than they were 18 months ago. There used to be £300+ in it.

24 month contract including cost of phone = £960
Equivalent sim only plan over 24 months including cost of phone = £990

If you can show me how to do it cheaper without reducing my minutes, texts and internet browsing I will do it.
