Report: Apple to Start Selling Unlocked iPhone 5 Tonight
Earlier today we reported that the iPhone 5 is now in stock on Apple's website and that the waiting times for online orders have improved. However, it seems Apple also has plans to start selling an unlocked version of the iPhone 5.
9to5Mac cites sources that say Apple will begin selling the unlocked iPhone 5 via its online stores as early as 9pm tonight. Pricing is said to be $649, $749, and $849 for the 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB models, respectively. If you're not big into online shopping, these sources apparently said that this unlocked iPhone 5 will also be hitting retail stores, though the release date is not yet known.
Apple currently sells the iPhone 5 on contract through AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint. Customers have a choice between 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB models, which are priced at $199, $299, and $399, respectively.
I'd rather spend that much cash on a Galaxy Tab.
I'd rather get a dual GPU or 2 single GPU cards with that much money and get a simple phone to make calls with the change.
I know dozens of people with iPhone 5 and 3 with Galaxy 3. One of them got it because Blackberry died 2 month before iPhone 5 release and he could not work without a phone for that long.
Wondering how many iPhone 5's were sold this quarter, likely between 40-50 million devices.

No doubt they don't cost that much to make, if the Nexus 4 is any indication. (even though Google might be subsidizing it a bit)

virgin mobile has galaxy s2 at 300 with the cheapest data plan ive seen.
I don't understand WHY anyone would spend hundreds of dollars on a device to make & receive phone calls.
Amen, dude...
