Apple Introduces iPhone 5
just
like we have been waiting for this today,Apple Senior Vice President of
Worldwide product marketing Phil Schiller announces the new iPhone 5
during an Apple special event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts on
September 12, 2012 in San Francisco, California. Apple announced the
iPhone 5, the latest version of the popular smart phone.
and the new iPhone’s hardware looks a whole lot like the old iPhone’s hardware.
Turns out their price tags are similar, too.
Just like the iPhone 4S when
it first launched, the iPhone 5
will cost $199 for a 16GB version of the phone, $299 for a 32GB version
and $399 for a 64GB version. Those prices all apply to users purchasing
phones together with a two-year contract with one of the iPhone’s three
U.S. carriers (AT&T, Sprint and Verizon).
The phone will go on sale in nine countries — the U.S., U.K, Canada,
France, Germany, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore — on
September 21 (precisely the day Apple blogs had predicted the phone
would hit shelves).
Apple will begin accepting pre-orders for the new iPhone on September 14
and
has already set up a landing page for the device on its online store.
As usual, the launch of a new iPhone is going hand-in-hand with a
discount in the price of an old one. Apple is knocking $100 off the
price of the 16GB iPhone 4S, which will retail for $99 rather than $199,
with a two-year contract. The 16GB iPhone 4 will be given away for free
when customers sign contracts with mobile carriers.
