Apple’s iPhone 5 will cost from around £45 per month on 3G networks, and less than £10 extra per month on EE’s 4G service, sources suggest
Prices for existing 3G services are expected to be confirmed tomorrow when pre-orders open for the device, which will be available on September 21.
Industry sources suggest that the iPhone 5 will cost £45-48 per month on a 3G tariff on a two-year contract, in line the launch prices for the iPhone 4S. Although the 4S price fell relatively rapidly, the 5 is expected to fall slower as it is a more expensive device.
The base model, which will retail for £529, could therefore cost £1080 over two years, rather than £1009 if bought outright and then tied to a £20 per month contract.
Other models of the iPhone 5 will retail for £599 and £699.
Although price details of EE’s first British 4G services will not be revealed for several more weeks, it is expected that the iPhone 5 will cost less than £10 per month extra on a two-year contract. EE said customers would be able to join its other networs, Orange and T-Mobile, and then upgrade when 4G details a re announced. A new sim card will be provided free of charge.
Although Apple retains tight control over pricing for the iPhone, details have not yet been confirmed and could still change.
Apple’s iPhone 5 is also expected be in shorter supply than its predecessor, as Apple expects to sell more devices in America and the Far East than previously.
Apple announced the iPhone 5, its first 4G phone, at an event in San Francisco last night. Showing off the new smartphone, Phil Schiller, Apple’s marketing chief said: “We’ve updated every aspect of iPhone 5.”
The new handset is 18 per cent thinner and 20 per cent lighter than the iPhone 4S but runs twice as fast, with graphics that are twice as fast, thanks to a new processor, said Schiller. Apple has also upgraded the camera in the iPhone to include new features such as a low-light mode and a panorama feature.
Apple have unveiled new earphones known as ‘EarPods’ to replace their traditional, circular earbuds
Apple have unveiled newly designed earphones to go with the iPhone 5
Apple have said that the earphones are designed to rest comfortably inside-and stay inside- a variety of ear types.
They also claim that the audio quality is apparently of such a high quality that they rival high-end headphones that count hundreds of pounds more.
The design is defined by the geometry of the ear which apparently makes them more comfortable for people than any other earbud-style headphone.
The speakers the EarPods have been engineered to maximise sound output and minimise sound loss. The earphones do have a noise cancelling quality to them.
Background noise is certainly dulled when listening to music through the new earphones, as compared with conventional circular earphones.
Although widely expected, there was no iPhone 5 in 2011, so it was surely high time for a total revision of the iPhone in 2012. And with an Apple event taking place on September 12, we were expecting to see the iPhone 5 break cover.
And that’s exactly what we saw. Read on for links to all the key iPhone 5 stories.
iPhone 5 launch
A few days ago, Apple finally got round to sending journalists an invite to the launch of its new handset, with the iPhone 5 launch officially pegged for September 12 at 10am PT, 1pm ET, 1900 CEST or 1800 (6pm) BST.
And then we finally got the announcement we’d been waiting for…
The iPhone 5 offers a larger screen, 4G connectivity and a slightly tweaked design. The new iPhone – the world’s thinnest smartphone (or is it?) at 7.6mm (0.3 inches) – is made entirely of glass and aluminium, something Apple says is “unlike anything we, or anyone in the industry, has made before.”

iPhone 5 review
But what is the iPhone 5 actually like to use? It’s the the size, design and shape that will win the most admiring glances, while the materials used keep that premium Apple feel. The screen is fantastic and iOS 6 brings with it a wealth of new features.
Check out our hands on: iPhone 5 review for the full details.
iPhone 5 specifications
It’s the first Apple phone with 4G, it has a bigger screen than earlier versions and looks pretty much like the leaked versions we saw, and we have the full details and specs in the link below.
iPhone 5: everything you need to know
iPhone 5 release date
So you want one. When can you get one?
In the US, the iPhone 5 is coming to coming to Verizon, AT&T and Sprint, from $199-$399.
Our story Apple iPhone 5 coming to Verizon, AT&T and Sprint has everything you need to know.
In the UK, we’ve spoken to EE, Orange, T-Mobile, Vodafone, O2, Three and Virgin Mobile to get their answers. We do have a £529 outright price, so far.
Check out iPhone 5: when will you get it? for the UK release dates as they come in.
iPhone 5 will have nanoSim
By the way, Apple neglected to mention that the new iPhone 5 will come with a nanoSim during the product announcements on September 12.
The smaller SIM card will be up to 40 per cent smaller than previous designs, (12.3 millimeters x 8.8 millimeters) and enables phones to be even thinner than before.
US to get CDMA and GSM
Apple announced on Wednesday that the new iPhone 5 will ship in either a CMDA or GSM model in the US.
This doesn’t affect pricing for the new handsets. Right now prices for the iPhone 5 range from $199 to $399, depending on the data.
As for the UK and Germany, these countries are only getting a single GSM model.
iOS 6
At Apple’s WWDC 2012 event in early June we learned a lot more about iOS 6, but there was no hardware (well, apart from new Macs). But now we have an iOS 6 release date
Apple has finally done away with the round earbuds that never really stayed put in iPhone 5 owners’ ears.
Today, the iPhone maker introduced the new and improved EarPods. These new headsets took three years to develop and are designed to fit comfortably in your ear, in addition to delivering better sound quality.
Evidence of an ever-shrinking iPhone 5 just keep popping up.
Stockpiles of nanoSIM chips – a chip 40 percent smaller than microSIM – were being accumulated by mobile operators in anticipation of the phone supporting the new technology.
Photos that surfaced Monday seem to support the operators’ suspicions and then some, reportedly showing a side-by-side comparison of nanoSIM chips and ejectable drawers found in the iPhone 4S and those supposedly coming to the iPhone 5.
The photos reveal a narrower SIM slot and a retooled insert for the new smartphone, expected to be revealed during a September 12 event.
Apple leaving nothing to chance
Operators were caught off guard when the iPhone 4S sported a nanoSIM and they appear to be leaving nothing to chance this time around by loading up on nanos.
The photos come just hours after Apple will likely ditch its standard 30-pin port on all its iOS devices in favor of an eight-pin port, including the iPhone 5.
Could the miniaturizing of Apple’s line point to the inevitability of smaller devices, like the iPad Mini?
If you are seeing Such messages on your iPhone or iPads like not being able to activate it after a recent restore of the firmware or have used the Reset to Factory default settings that erase all content and put the iPhone back in to the Activation required screen
Its required to activate the Device with a network simcard from the country and provider the it was originally locked on to and is easy if already have a network sim then its fine but what if you were sold a iPhone which was previously software unlocked but not fully factory unlocked.
So if you do posses a iPhone thats stuck in the activation screen and you dont possess a network sim for that network to activate and worst still dont happen to know the original network it was locked on to when it was sold not to worry as their is still hope ?
The Rebel simcard Team provide a Pre Configured network smartcard that can be used to activate and bypass the Message and then allow you to have access the the iPhone /iPad. Note this not to unlock it and only activate.
We have both option in the shopping cart that are can be used.
The first option is you can simply supply the imei number of the device and we can check the network and country it was sold or choose the provider in the List and we send you a pre programmed rebel activation smart card.
At order time you also have the option to use the Mini or Micro Size option depending on your device.
Just ask the AT&T Representative that you need to unlock your iphone .
You must give the representative your IMEI number.
your device can’t be associated with a current and active commitment on AT&T, and you must have fulfilled your contract term upgrading under one of their upgrade policies or paid an ETF (Early Termination Fee).
The Representative should tell you everything else you need.
Once your done you should receive an unlock code and direction on how to do it through email or phone call which ever one you wanted them to contact you by.
I Have been Refused unlocking by AT&T. Can i Still Unlock Somehow ?
If you possess a ATT iPhone and you purchased the iPhone without the contract and have tried to call ATT and been refused the unlock you have another option. The Rebel Simcard Team have a USA AT&T Unlock service that can still unlock your iPhone forever.
