UK Price rise for iPhone

Why has the US price of the 16Gb phone remained static (ZDNet today 'nothing else has changed'!) but the UK price has risen from £269 to £329 - an extra £60 ($120)!
The extra 16Gb nearly made it worth it but not with such an unfair price rise!
I'm STILL not buying one!
Sorry this isn't a question- just felt I had to vent my frustration somewhere.

You must be mistaken: the US 16 GB iPhone is $100 more expensive than the 8GB model. See:

Why the huge price rise for films in UK iTunes store?

I have recently noticed an inexplicably huge rise in some film prices on the UK iTunes store.
The films I mean are mainly old British ones (1940s-1950) which were all previously £2.99. Admittedly this was cheap but still in line with other retailers. Now, all of these have gone up to £7.99 - more than double the price! I'm glad I purchased all the Terry Thomas films when I did as these are among the affected items, which also include films starring Norman Wisdom, Will Hay and others of that ilk.
This goes far beyond the VAT issue which has previously been discussed. It seems Apple are just being brazenly greedy now with price rises left and right. Has anyone from the US or other countries noticed this happening in their stores too?

I checked a few old films and Amazon's prices match iTunes:
Oliver Twist (1948)
iTunes Rent £2.49 Buy £9.99
Amazon Rent £2.49 Buy £9.99 (or on DVD for £3.70)
Oh, Mr. Porter (1937)
iTunes Rent £2.49 Buy £7.99
Amazon Buy only £7.99 (or on DVD for £4.10)
The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934)
iTunes Rent £2.49 Buy £4.99
Amazon Rent £2.49 Buy 4.99
A Tale of Two Cities (1935)
iTunes Rent £2.49 Buy £9.99
Amazon Rent £2.49 Buy £9.99
excepting only that for some reason you can't rent Oh, Mr. Porter on Amazon. £9.99 does seem a little excessive for The Scarlet Pimpernel. I suppose it's a 'what the market can bear' calculation.
Interestingly:
La Dolce Vita
iTunes SD Rent £3.49 Buy £9.99 (HD Rent £4.49 Buy £13.99)
Not on Amazon except as a DVD £19.99 (of course it is a three hour film), but
Curzon Cinema (not stated if SD or HD) Rent £2.00 no purchase.

What would be the price range for iphone 5c NZ dollers?

What would be the NZ dollers for the iphone 5c? i can not acsees the apple store for infomation:(

Just to confirm what stedman1 has said. At this time there are no prices confirmed for New Zealand.
Contract Plan prices for iPhones in the U.S. are irrelevant as its unlikely the prices in New Zealand would be just the American prices converted to NZ currency.
There are usually more factors to consider to get an accurate price. So its best to let Apple and/or the local carriers announce the prices.

Price plan for iPhone 4?

I'm sure this is a really redundant question on this message board, but I wanted to make sure I had my facts straight. I've been able to find some facts on the pricing plan for the iPhone when it comes out, but what are the specifics for it? Like is there a specific data plan for the iPhone, or does it follow the standard smartphone pricing plans?
It would be great if someone could answer me, or at least lead me in the right direction if I looked over the obvious.

The data plan for iphone is only the unlimited plan for $29.99......which I am very happy about.

Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops?

Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops? I assume it would show the new price in the Wish List but does it inform you if the price drops?

The apps which show on the file sharing section on your iPad when connected to your computer's iTunes, you have exactly the same apps installed on your iPhone - they are not separate iPad and iPhone apps that you have installed on your iPad/iPhone, and only the iPad version supports file sharing ?
For iBooks, that won't show, it doesn't support file sharing. You can add ibooks / epubs / PDFs to your computer's iTunes library (the iBooks app if you are using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it) via File > Add To Library, and you sync them to a device via its Books tab :
If you want to copy them off the device to your computer's iTunes (to the iBooks app on Mavericks) then File > Devices > Transfer Purchases will copy them over (that will copy PDFs and epubs from the iBooks app on your device, not just ibooks).

Why in india the price is high for iphone 3g (in US we can buy 4 pcs)

hi
i bought the iphone in india, its very expensive, why they put morethan US$ price, in US we can buy 3 or 4 pcs , but in india we can buy only one piece.

The carrier sets the price, not Apple.
The phone actually costs a lot here, but AT&T (the carrier) sold it cheaper and force a 2 yr contract where they make their money back over that two years with the service plan.
The iPhone is just one price. The carrier decides how they want to sell it. They can sell for full price, or for more, or for less and make up later with service. It is their choice.

Exchange iphone 4 for iphone 4S

can I return or exchange iphone 4 16 gb bought at at&t store online for iphone 4s 16 gb at the apple store. But i m still in the contract. I still have a year left of my contract.

With a year left in your contract, that would imply that your phone is already a year old. Within the first 30 days of purchase, you can reurn a phone under the "buyers remorse" clause, but after that, your best option is to try to sell your old phone to buy a new one.
With one year left on your contract, you would also not qualify for the "new discount" pricing, so you either pay the full price, or pay the "new discount" plus $250 and get a new 2 year contract. This would mean that the 16GB iPhone 4S wouldn't cost you $199, but in fact $449 and you would have a new 2 year contract starting the day of your new purchase.

Jabber for iPhone & iPad too long to connect to "Phone Services"

Hello,
Has anybody ever experienced delay issues with Jabber for iPhone and/or iPad to connect to "Phone Services"?
In my case, the service does connect but it can take about 1 minute. Some times it can be faster but some others it can take a while to make the service available.
Regards,

You've hit the nail on the head with your last sentence, though to me a month (and then another) to wait for a new line is nothing - I am on my fifth order with BT. They lost the first three, then tried charging me an arm and a leg in excess charges for the fourth. I am trying again, this time with a total package to see if they are a bit more useful when they actually know I'm not going to switch to another provider - fingers crossed.
If they do come back with massive excess charges again though this time I've done my homework. I now know the measurements between my property and the pole as well as the BT price list they use to calculate the charges. I've also worked out a cheaper route than the one they were suggesting - Ofcom say they should offer the cheapest route and the opportunity for the customer to do some of their own work but with me they didn't do either. They also didn't consider that we don't have reliable mobile signal here. They also didn't provide me with any details of how they'd come to that figure and just demanded it. I've had lots of advice from DEFRA, the Department for Business, Innopvation and Skills, Ofcom and ex-Openreach planners and should be able to get a line under the USO. I have a horrible feeling that I've done all this homework now though and they'll just come out and do it without demanding the excess, but if they do I am at least ready this time.

For iPhone Case Lovers and their concern of Magnet Closers!!

I recently learned that some have had issues with their iPhone when used with a cases that includes magnets for closing. Sorry mwhitted for your woes.
While looking for a nice case for myself I became concerned of this, and decide to contact Sena about their Dockable iPhone case. This case seemed to be exactly what I was looking for, but after reading mWhitted and a few others problems I wasn't sure.
So I sent them a e-mail with the links and question their knowledge about their product.
This was late last night (about 1:39 am). How about 10:09 in the a.m. I get a response! A Long and thoroughly explained response (read Below).
Great customer service! I am going to give this company a try and see how well this works.
I have included my original e-mail to them and their response by Ronda so that you may judge for yourself.
PS. mWhitted, aparently the case you used may not have had the proper magnets and maybe not assembled appropriately for this phone which may have caused the problem. What do you think, maybe this may have been the cause?
Thanks for the info by the way.
Below is my email to them.

Subject: Pre-Order Dockable iPhone case
I have looked up many cases for my iPhone and I have found your Dockable one to be just the style and function I am looking for. Although recently there has been a buzz going around that the magnetic closing cases such as these have caused many iPhones to malfunction.
I was curious as to if you had any information on this? I also wanted to send you this so that you may look into this to avoid any potential problems with your sales.
Another question, I would like to know if it would be possible to replace the magnets in this case and apply velcro to it instead as an option for your customers?
As far as the info that I had on the magnets, you can read tease threads from apple support forums for reference.

Update for Case #1086 - "Pre-Order Dockable iPhone case"
We use only non Neodymium magnets that do not interfere with the device. We have done extensive testing with many devices to assure that the magnet use will not harm the internal applications or antenna on the devices which we manufacture cases for. Also we have long created cases for use with the IPOD nano, Ipod 3rd,4th and Ipod Video devices using the non Neodymium magnets in our cases without any interferance at all after selling thousands upon thousands of cases. Sena Cases are designed by Engineers with PhD, they are all handcrafted by skilled craftsmen who have been in the leather industry for many years making them expert leather craftsmen, our cases are not just designed by a purse maker or a designer who is thinking of only fashion and style, because of the engineering focus of the design staff they are detail oriented making sure that each and every feature and function of the device has been addressed and is accessible as well as taking wevery precaution to protect the devices and information which belongs to our loyal customers, and new customers as we hope that each person who finds their way to Sena Cases will become loyal to our products for all devices which they own now and in the future. Because our company's entire focus is PDA, Smartphone and Computer cases Sena Management and Design staff have extensively researched magnets available in the industry and magnetic substrates, with a solid plan to avoid any magnet which would harm any device we have created a case for, So the selection of the magnets available and the possible strengths that we can use are focused on a very limited type and size of magnet, sometimes even shape takes some precidence in the design of certain cases, in regards to the iPhone magnets the staff have created a new installation making the magnet undetectable on the open face of the case so that the form and shape are very sleek and suitable to the high style devbice which is in the Sena Case. Some case makers off shore may just throw a case together without considering future ramifications, These case manufacturers may be selling cases at a lower price point not created out of fine materials or more novelty type accessory cases that are often offered at a bargain price that is unbelievably inexpensive, They may be thinking when creating their own design that " this company and that company use magnets we will to..." this may be how cases get created for devices which may harm the device that they were intended to protect. Sena Cases has taken every precaution to design a slim sleek sexy iphone case that will protect your device in a very stylish fashion throughout the years that you own this expensive device.
I will pass your forum links on to our design staff and the research group as well as our company president for review, Customer feedback is highly valued here at Sena Cases. I assure you that serious research has been done to assure that your iPHONE case will fit precisely allow access to all features and functions and to protect your investment in the device and the information which it contains as you as well as your referrals and your future business is our main focus and if we dint sweat all the little details to attempt to create you a perfect case for your device we could not expect your loyalty to our brand.
We do also stand behind all our products with a one year warranty against any manufacturing defects. The best compliment we can receive is for a customer to refer family, friends, colleagues and strangers that they cross paths with to our cases as your refferral of our product is more valuable to us that a full page color ad in a major magazine, if your happy you will refer many people to our products who will refer their friends and so on and so on....
Stephan, I reccomend that you avoid Neodymium magnets in what ever case you elect to purchase and you will be fine, I am hopefull that you will elect to protect your iPhone in our cases, as we make a fine product as does many competitors in the market, I am not familiar with their designs for this device so I cannot speak openly about any of them, but the iPHONE cases in our office on display as well as future designer cases to be released before the fall are all incredible. Sena Will have some leathers and designs nwever seen before by similar type device owners ever in the past, as our company has searched out new Leather vendors as well as creating our traditional line of stylish Sena cases will be releasing a designer series of cases for iPHONE because the device is phenomonal the design staff and management felt that the cases could also help carry off the devices style in a ddifferent intrepretation.
You will love any of the Sena Cases designs which are available now or in the future., We have had customers stop by and try on the prototype cases which we have photographed and were in love with the look and fit. The sensor on the face of the case has been revised the original case designed before the device was available to accommodate the proximity/light sensors! The sensor lies above the ear piece at the top of the screen. so there will be two circular oval type openings above the screen. These cases are really off the hook, crazy cool and distinctively beautiful, I am hopeful you will enjoy owning one to protect your device.
Regards,

OK. Here it is...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neodymium_magnet
"Neodymium magnets are very strong in comparison to their mass..."
A.K.A. "rare-earth magnetS".
"While most solid state electronic devices are not effected by magnetic fields, some medical devices are not manufactured to mitigate the effects of strong magnetic fields." Maybe phones too?
These could be the ones that I removed from my case:

Is it possible to use time capsule or airport extreme as a wireless hard drive for iphone?

Is it possible to use time capsule or airport extreme as a wireless hard drive for iphone.
I would like to strem movies from the hard drive to iphone.
I have already seen the Goflex Stellite, which works this way.
Is there any other device that could do this?

I did a typo. My current computer is a 2010 1/2 iMac. The stand alone monitors are still out of my price range so I'm looking for other options. By buying an external hard drive and a broken iMac, I'm still ahead. Still, if I understand you right, the 27" 2010 and earlier iMacs would be possiblities.
Are there adapters that would allow me to run a 2011 and newer iMac as an external monitor from my 2010 1/2. There are so many adapters out there these days.

Do i use Air or Flex for iPhone and Android app development

Hi guys, whats the main difference between the 2 and does Air or Flex have everything Xcode does for iPhone/iPad development
I'm hearing that Flex has Android and SDK for iPhone, if this is the case why learn Xcode ?
Thanks

Titanium is good for iOS, but apparently not so good for Android. Moreover, it's not so cheap!
When one chooses a platform, one should also take into consideration the history and stability of the company which offers it.
That is why I would not go to Appcelerator: who knows what's behind the corner?
Sure, it is ironic that I say this after Adobe - a big company - has abandonded Flex...
Some alternatives:
- AMPChroma (Horrible name, but it has a solid company selling it: Antenna Software). This thing has the advantage that the content is not either native or web: the same content can be packaged for a web site AND for an app
     Pro's: Many big players are using it
     Con's: price list not very clear
- Adobe Edge "Preview" + Adobe PhoneGap <--- Adobe says: you create animation for the web, you package it for an app. Not many people have tried it. But apparently it will work.
     Pro's: apparently, Edge is Adobe's instrument to finally go to HTML5.
     Con's: Edge "showcase" performs BADLY and SLOWLY in an iPhone (go think of a Samsung Mini)
- Adobe Flash professional CS6 + Create JS <--- you create animations in Flash, then you export to HTML5 and js for browsers which don't have flash. You can also package with AIR for iOS and Droid.
     Pro's: Flash professional is easy, Action Script is powerful. You can have BOTH the power of Flash and the portability of html5/JS.
     Con's: for how long will Adobe support this Create JS hack? When will Adobe say "OK, now you've done enough automatic porting to JS, from next release on you move to Edge, or to - wait for it - a version of Flash which uses Javascript instead than ActionScript?"
Me, I don't know what to do. I am keen on FlashBuilder/Flex because it's fast to build. Apps are really compatible both with iOS and Android. It has Salesforce.com connectivity. It's cool.
However, there are two problems that get me stuck from continuing with FlashBuilder:
- OK for native apps but... how do I use the Flash Builder/Flex content for the mobile WEB? Flash Builder does not have the CreateJS capability. I do a cool interface and I cannot reuse it on the mobile web if not with apps?
- OK for HTML5 but... it's NOT as good as Flash now. Have you ever seen a Phonegap application with graphics? They're embarassing. Slow, imprecise. And non-compiled Edge stuff is not much better. Is it? any good example.
Bottom line: at the moment, HTML5 support does not seem good. On the other hand, Flex is NOT compatible with mobile web. What IS performing and promises to be compatible with mobile web in addition to native apps?
Flash Professional CS6.
Again.
I am happy if some-one belies me with good arguments.

What charger to get for iPhone?

Hi!
Recently I bought iPhone from USA, it came with american wall charger, it seems to me it's not original. I live in Europe and want to get a replacement, but I can't find original one for reasonable price. My question - can I use non-original charger for iPhone or charger for another phone, for instance htc tc-e250? Is it safe, won't it harm my phone? What model to choose? What's cheapest good charger?
I know I'm far not first to ask this question, but I could not find good answer. Please, Geniuses, answer me!)

I can't find it for less than 30-40$, no too good price. I bought 3GS for about 110$ )
Well, it's your phone and your risk. Again, $30-40 is less than paying another $110.
