Pricing & Availability

iPhone 4 will be available for outright purchase for a recommended retail price starting from NZD$1,099 inc GST through Apple’s online store (www.apple.com/nz/store), and select Apple Authorised Resellers (www.apple.com/nz/buy). A new iPhone 3GS 8GB model will be available for outright purchase for just NZD$899 inc GST. iPhone 4 will roll out to many more countries later this year and Apple will announce availability and local pricing for these additional countries at a later date.

See http://www.ben.geek.nz/2010/07/apple-snubs-vodafone-new-zealand/ for more.

I can't seem to find pricing on the 32GB version. Anyone found any more info?

Pretty sure that was same price as 3GS before the 4 was released.

The current 16GB was $1049 so its only $50 more, its about what I expected. My guess for 32GB would be $1200-$1300.

Wasn't the 16GB 3GS $1159 when it first released?

Seems like the iPhone 4 is cheaper this year thanks to the strong NZD.

me smells a fake press release. There is nothing on the Apple web site no pricing nothing. Why announce 17 countries and only list the NZ RRP. If's its a NZ only press release why list the other countries. I'm hoping it's real because that price is sharp. On the Vodafone web site the 3GS is listed at $1179.00 inc GST

Anyone know what 2nd hand 3GS's will be going for now? My stepmum was after one.
(She was going to buy a 4 from AT&T while she was in the states, but I managed to convince her not to!)

Around $600, according to some Twitter sources who are selling theirs on TradeMe.

Guys, it's not a fake. Let me know where you want me to send the original email from Apple. Multiple other sources have the same email.

I can confirm it's not a fake. It was emailed to my site by Fiona Martin, Apple PR person for NZ. And yes the iPhone 3GS 16GB was $1149 via Apple or $1179 from Vodafone so the iPhone 4 is cheaper by $50 / $80.
