It seems that the iPhone 5 unlocked pre-order price for the US went live on Apple’s website and was then pulled off soon. According to the price details, the 16GB, 32GB and 64GB variants are tagged at $649 (approx. Rs 35,240), $749 (approx. Rs. 40,670) and $849 (approx. Rs. 46,100), respectively.
Offering the ease of switching between carriers, the unlocked versions of the handset obviously cost higher owing to the fact that they’re not carrier-subsidized. The US pricing information was spotted by the folks over at TechCrunch before the page was taken off. Relevant details about the UK and Canada pricing have also dropped in. In terms of the former, the 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB SIM-free versions can be ordered for £529 (approx. Rs. 46,585), £599 (approx. Rs. 52,750) and £699 (approx. Rs. 61,555), correspondingly.
Coming to Canada, the 16GB, 32GB and 64GB editions are marked at CAD699 (approx. Rs. 39,085), CAD799 (approx. Rs. 44,680) and CAD899 (approx. Rs. 50,270) in that order. Buyers have 3 model choices including one that supports global LTE, a second which proffers 700MHz frequency with support for Canada and US LTE networks, and a third which is compatible with Sprint and Verizon connectivity options.
Running through the main specifications, the sixth generation iPhone sports a 4-inch Retina Display and it is equipped with a new A6 processor. Powered by iOS 6, the handset is embedded with an 8MP iSight camera and a front-facing FaceTime HD snapper as well. However, the shipping date for the unlocked version has not been mentioned by the company.
For now, word on delivery is precisely what’s needed to complete the details related to the iPhone 5 unlocked pre-order price in the US.
