**iPhone 5 Pricing & Tariffs thread*

[evilsatan]

Doesn't look like any tariffs have been announced yet. Apple store is offline to be updated.

Consumers who wish to go down the iPhone 5 route on an unlocked outright purchase basis can pick the bottom of the range 16GB version up for $649.00. Stepping up a tier will raise the price by $100.00 with the 32GB model retailing at $749.00 and the top of the range 64GB iPhone 5 costing $849.00.

I hope apple don't add the usual premium on exchange rate.

Also includes an adapter:

Additional Lightning to 30-pin Adapter

Your iPhone includes a Lightning to 30-pin Adapter for connecting 30-pin accessories to devices featuring the Lightning connector. Purchase this additional adapter to have a second adapter for your home or office.

I managed to get one off the apple app.. no problems the site is down though still

[evilsatan]

Site working great ATM, I. Want to see what contracts are available though. Might buy one from apple then cancel or return it if a contract is a better offer. My current contract is £11/month so £963 for 2 years if I got a sim free 64GB.

Im going to have to try sand my giffgaff sim down as they are not providing them or get another carrier

Anyone know who is providing nanosims and a good tariff?

With Giff Gaff I pay £10 a month and get 250 minutes , unlimited txts and unlimited net

[Escobar]

I might wait for the 2nd wave, dont want an iphone 5 full of bugs.

[evilsatan]

16GB PAYG is £490 at e2save so you could get that and use with a current contract. E2save and carphonewarehouse have their 16GB contracts listed but networks don't yet!

Is that unlocked mate?

[evilsatan]

Is that unlocked mate?

No, PAYG, sim free is only available from apple

[pratman]

got the voda tarrifs here if anyone is interested as the site is up and down due to traffic

[evilsatan]

In a bit of a shitty position here, I need to be on O2 as signal is poor around here on all other networks. O2 haven't released tariffs for the 64GB and Tesco know fcuk all about when they will get the handsets or nano sims. Giffgaff have said they won't have sims for months. Will have to hold on for O2 to release tariffs I guess.

I know what you mean satan im going to DIY it with my giff gaff sim i have now.

[BertRoot]

Current O2 user and would stay ideally but sadly they aren't putting their stuff up. Got a preorder on orange as they are the only short term LTE carriers for now.

Have Orange indicated the extra cost when LTE goes live?

Is that going to be possible to go from micro to Nano. Can't see how it will be myself.

[ant3b]

The sim basically is just the chip I have read and 0.1mm thinner.. so if you cut round to the chip and sand the back you sould be fine

[evilsatan]

Did you know the micro sim is 15% thinner mate? So you can't just cut it you have to shave the back off too, I didn't want to risk that as I might puncture the inside or make it too thin so it doesnt make proper contact. Bit annoying to say the least, networks should have been given the spec early doors so they could prepare.

EDIT: Didn't refresh the page before replying

FFS, Apple site has changed to delivery in 2 weeks, I am actually a little surprised, didn't expect demand to be so high.

[ant3b]

I presume thats 2 weeks after release date as its 2 weeks till they ship mine?
