Of course the news traveled the world in a matter of minutes, as of Friday, September 14, the iPhone 5 began its availability in pre-order. To talk about prices (speaking in prices for countries like the USA and some in Europe), the 16 GB model for about U $ D 199, U $ D 299 for 32 GB and U $ D 399 for a 64GB iPhone, always and when signing a permanence contract that lasts at least two years.
But these prices are not unique, since what we referred to with the title "The real cost of the iPhone 5 ”is due to its new dimensions and accessories. In the first instance, it must be clarified that the accessories of the iPhone 4 and 4S do not fit with the new model and therefore, for some things, adapters for the new model must be purchased. The classic external sound stereo speakers are also not compatible with the new model, therefore you have to buy a new version of them or an adapter if one exists.
IPhone 5 It is even longer and thinner, many critics say that this feature makes it even better as it fits better in the palm of the hand, but it has its contradictions. A "naked" iPhone (without a protective case) could easily break if dropped (and we all know that these types of cell phones can fall off very easily), therefore you should get a new protective case for this model. We will not focus on a specific price due to the difference in prices between different countries in the world, but by saying what to buy additionally, you can get a great idea. With regard to the battery, this new model is not very different from its previous ones, since they will only be able to achieve an autonomy of 8 hours a day and therefore get an additional battery pack if it does not have the ability to charge it continuously. This is one of the largest additional values we can count.
Of course, if we choose to make a two-year contract again, the accessories that are not compatible will be included with an additional price in the purchase of the new equipment (which makes all accessories cheaper), not to mention that some do not even exist or even are in the design process. It only remains to wait to pay the equipment and a significant sum for the new compatible accessories to be able to enjoy the same experience as an Iphone 4. That is really the apple business, the well-known Add-ons that increase the user experience.
