The
unlocked iPhone 5 that Apple Inc.(NASDAQ:AAPL) is yet to sale through its
official website over a month after the device’s release, has come up on the
website of the company disclosing the probable price of the device on its
arrival.
AppleInsider
was the first one to discover that the listing discloses the possible price
tags for the unreleased and unlocked iPhone 5 models. The prices that are being
shown for iPhone 5 on the official website are exactly what everyone has been
speculating for.
The
website reveals that a 16 GB unlocked iPhone 5 starting with a $649.99, 32 GB
kicking in at $749.99 and the 64 GB model starting at $849.99.
Apple
has not yet confirmed an official release date or pricing for the unlocked
iPhone 5 although it originally revealed that the models would be available for
sales after the launch of the versions of iPhone 5 specific to mobile carriers.
However, the iPhone 5 is still listed as shipping out in 3-4 weeks on the
official website of Apple. It is possible that the company is waiting to
control the supply issues and its global roll out completed before rolling out
the unlocked models.
The
unlocked iPhone 5 models are not presently being sold through Apple’s website
in the US. However, it has become clear that the Verizon iPhone 5 comes unlocked.
This implies that the phone can either work with AT&T or with T-Mobile only
if the proper SIM card is put in. the AT&T model also operates with
T-Mobile if the proper Nano SIM card is put in.
People,
who are looking for a truly unlocked iPhone 5, do not have a choice but to
wait. It seems that Apple will keep up with the sharp price tags.
Apple’s
iPhone 5 is the most recent smartphone of the company and it comes with a
larger 4-inch display, iOS 6, two impressive cameras and 4G LTE connectivity.
Wow. I don't think even fanboys would pay this much money for the mediocre phone that the iPhone5 is. I don't know what Apple is thinking
