Apple's website has mistakenly leaked the prices for unlocked versions of the iPhone 5.
While a search on Apple's site for the term "iPhone 5 factory unlocked" doesn't display any results, the page's sidebar depicts results for the iPhone 5's unlocked prices.
The prices range from $649 and $849, which is dependent on the amount of memory space. Apple's page also lists both the GSM and CDMA and the white and black versions of the smartphone.
Although the iPhone 5's unlocked versions are already sold in other countries, Apple usually releases the unlocked version in the United States a while after the handset launches with its various carrier partners.
However, with Apple's supply issues, it's unclear when it'll start to sell the smartphone's unlocked variants.

Theyre shipped from China though, not the US so that isn't it. Mostly the different values of the currencies and different market demands -
