German iPhone prices without contracts:
http://store.apple.com/de/iphone
599 ? for the 5C ($795)
699 ? for the 5S ($927)
let's be serious - without any Apple hating - but we're talking $800 for an outdated phone in a colorful plastic case and more than $900 for a phone that is at least technically not better than an HTC One, Samsung S4 or LG G2
i am totally fine if anyone wants to spend that money but please: don't be surprised if there are other people out there that question your decision
