iPhone Pricing For New Zealand

Australia is getting the iPhone on prepaid. The 8GB iPhone 3G will be $729 ($928 NZD) and the 16GB iPhone 3G will be $849 ($1080 NZD). Italy will be getting the iPhone prepaid as well. It will cost €499 ($1036 NZD) for a 8GB iPhone 3G or €569 ($1181 NZD) for the 16GB model. Now this leaves Vodafone New Zealand to release pricing. We can expect New Zealand to pay a bit more than Australia because, we always pay more and it's a smaller market. It is good to see that Australia is paying less than Italy but that could just be because of the VAT (20% in Italy, 10 in Australia). New Zealand has GST (VAT) of 12.5% so I think the NZ price will be more like the Australian one. I believe that it will be $950 for the 8 GB version and $1100 for the 16 GB one.

You never know, it may be cheaper to buy it in South Africa!
