Apple is now selling its new iPhone 4S unlocked and contract
free direct from the Apple website, and goes for about N126,262.34 reports
TechWorld.
The report also stated that the iPhone 4S was introduced
last month across a number of networks in the United Kingdom (UK) and abroad,
with Apple announcing that an unlocked version would arrive in November.
Besides the lack of a contract, the report showed that the
main benefit of the unlocked iPhone is that if you travel internationally, you
could swap in a SIM from a provider in that country and pay domestic rates.
Although consumer were reported to have to pay a premium for
the unlocked model, since it does not benefit from the subsidies provided by
the carriers.
The 16 Gegabyte (GB) version would run £499, about
N126,262.34, the 32GB goes for £599, and the 64GB model costs £699.
Apple quotes 1-2 weeks shipping time for all three
capacities, so in addition to paying more, you’ll also have to wait a bit.
ITRealms Online recalls that the initial reaction to the
announcement of the iPhone 4S was muted, as the first was the feeling it was
the old phone’s name with an S attached.
As the iPhone 3GS has shown, adding an S to an iPhone’s name
could represent numerous under-the-hood improvements, but it does not send
shivers down user’s spine like incrementing a number by one and unveiling a
redesigned exterior with mind-blowing features that may or may not include
anti-gravity.
Apple’s report had it, was never going to win a competition
with the wildest imaginations of tech bloggers, but the company seems to be
doing OK in the business of building phones. The iPhone 4, which remained more
or less unchanged for 15 months as approximately a zillion Android smartphone
models came and went; has consistently been the best selling smartphone around
in United Kingdom and some parts of Europe.
