What is the price of an unlocked iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c ?

This is it. finally unveiled the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5c without much surprise to anyone who’s been following the rumors for a while. We’ve alrdy posted about theiPhone 5sandiPhone 5cpricing and availability but we thought it’d be worth having a post dedied to these devices’ prices off-contract.So far, looking at ’s website, only T-Mobile will be offeringunlockedand contract-free i from day one, starting September 20th. If history is any indiion of the future, chances are other carriers such as AT&T will later offer the devices without a contact, and unlocked for use on other carriers.But let’s have a look at the prices of contract-free iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c…As you can tell from the above, a contract-free iPhone 5s will start at $649 for the 16GB version, and go to $749 and $849 for both the 32GB and 64GB versions respectively. It’s not much of a surprise as it is in line with thediscontinuedcurrent iPhone 5 prices.Now, looking at the iPhone 5c, these prices aren’t rlly what we expected. Labeled as the “affordable iPhone”, this device actually isn’t barely more affordable than the top of the line iPhone 5s.Starting at $549 for the 16GB version, it goes up to $649 for the 32GB version, far above the expected $449 that the press, including us, thought it would be priced at.But $100 is $100, and for someone who’s getting a smartphone for the first time, it will sure make the difference. Ssoned smartphone owners – that would be you, iDB rders – will still likely get the iPhone 5s instd.What do you think of these prices?
