Depends which country you buy in. Plus, even in countries where you must buy with a data contract, you can always buy on the secondary market. Some people buy, resell and keep their contract commitment but use another phone. The carrier doesn't care as long as the commitment is kept and it's getting paid.

I enjoy using my iPad 3 but I rather have an iPhone 5 than an iPad mini. Apple usually releases updated versions of their products. I don't have a problem with this and I don't buy every single version of a product. Other companies such as Samsung have a larger amount of
products at different price ranges, Apple could rival this by creating a iPad that could be more like a kindle and at a lower price range for people who can't afford a regular iPad. I am just guessing all of this and I would love to hear other people's opinions about this.

Oops typing fail...

If list price is 600, I'll sell this iPhone 4 for about 200-250 and that'll get me halfway there.

Agreed. That list price is doable after you sell your current phone. And list price means no contract and "unlocked"!! It's time to get me some o' that "$45/mo for unlimited everything action"! :-0

Oh,I also want to buy a iPad mini,maybe many more people want to buy iPhone 5,but iPad mini is different from iPhone 5!

This story might be of interest on this thread, for whatever it's worth:

Rumor: The 7-inch iPad Mini Will Have a Super Thin Bezel and Look More Like an iPhone Than an iPad
