32GB @ $1279
iPhonewzealand user Hermes tells us that, having successfully purchased a 32GB model this afternoon, his Vodafone receipt indicates that the outright-purchase price is $1279. In other years, Vodafone have added $30 to the RRP so we could potentially expect to see the 32GB model for $1249 when it goes live on the Apple Online Store this evening. How does that grab you?
UPDATE: Hermes has sent us a photo of the receipt – looks like this is confirmed, for Vodafone at least.
UPDATE 2: We’re hearing reports that the Vodafone receipts for the 16GB are showing $1099, so seems that Apple haven’t added to the RRP this year in which case we can expect the 32GB to be $1279 on the store.
Where is everyone getting 7pm for the Apple store from?

Well we can definitely confirm it’s “this evening” — Apple’s NZ comms person emailed us to confirm. 7pm is apparently the time that a lot of Apple CSRs have been giving people but can’t qualify it with proof. Sounds about right though.
will the iPhone 4 be avaliable for shipping in 24 hrs or like 7-10 business days????

Yea, I’m going for apple online tonight as well
I was infront of VFstore in Queens st and I had about 12people infront of me at the time.
then out of blue, sales from VFshop came out and announce “we only have about 9 left in our store, sorry guys If you want to know the next arrival please leave your deatils…..”
I felt so dipressed, but hey its not the end of day. I will just purchase it online and wait for 3 weeks lol (like uk)

Makes me smile a little too. I called that apple PR but she didn’t pick her phone up so I asked her to email me. Hope she does……mr_chillie wrote:

@ Joe Bunting:
It will be 7-10 working days. I’m sure all stock they have was given out therefore no stock that can be shipped out in 24 hours. Last year it was the same.

I heard it would be 6 weeks shipping but it wasnt from Apple officially so take with a grain of salt. Guess we will find out at 7pm tonight

it wouldnt surprise me if it is going to be something 3 weeks+. I hope its not however, would be nice to have it within the next few weeks, just depends how much stock apple kept back for online, if any

I'll believe it when I see it. After today I'm not relying on any information until I see it with my own eyes.
…….sorry still venting!

@ Steve:
Well that makes me smile, if ever so slightly.
Looking on the bright side, at least I will have a 3 week or so wait time to get my excitement up once again.

@ Steve:
My two cents – Apple would probably want to update all of the apple stores at once… Midnight in Canada, Pacific Time being the latest time zone in Canada (I think), is 7pm NZ time… 7pm therefore seems a pretty good guess…

I like how you say $30 less whereas it actually is $20 more on the Apple Store at 1299

So it seems like VF were grumpy about the Apple set RRPs and with VF close to loosing money if they sell as out-right. My guess is VF are still not happy but will do mainly on account stuff and leave Out-right purchases to Apple online store (and MagMac etc others once more stock is flowing). VF might even charge for MicroSims if you come in with an iPhone4 got from elsewhere.

Help! Vodafone didnt sell me a microsim. I just cut it up and it doesnt fit. Too thick. New MicorSim stock arriving Tuesday. What do I do? My iPhone 4 is a brick.

@ Sprok,
Time to sand off the back of your sim with a sandpaper to make your on-time purchase worthwhile?
Head to your local hardware store or a Warehouse now before it closes. That sim won't be needed anymore once you get your microsim.
