Just as scheduled, carriers stateside have begun shipping the sixth generation iDevice and the latest detail to arrive is the iPhone 5 Cricket price in the US. The handset is marked at $499.99 (approx. Rs. 26,300) and it can be paired with a $55 (approx. Rs. 2,990) data plan. This scheme offers unlimited talk time, messages and data.
Other regional carriers such as C Spire and Appalachian Wireless are also expected to vend the phone. As far as specifications are concerned, this Apple cookie features the newest A6 chip. It is powered by the iOS 6 platform that brings forth a range of attributes such as Facebook integration, Passbook, enhanced Siri, additional language support and a new Maps app.
The iDevice’s front panel is dominated by a 4-inch Retina display, while the rear is graced with an 8MP iSight camera. There’s also a FaceTime sensor affixed to the front for conducting video calls over the web. Cupertino has thrown in brand new earplugs dubbed Earpods that sport a uniform design and appear much lighter as compared to those seen in previous editions. The handset has been churned out in 2 color choices of black and white.
So far, stories about the iPhone 5 that have been doing the rounds include its Verizon GSM unlocked version and the AT&T off-contract devices that can now be unlocked through a simple procedure on iTunes. The handset has already hit availability status through major network providers.
Going by tradition, US customers purchasing the iPhone 5 Cricket need not tie up with contracts and the deal should mean no overages too.
