iPhone 5: pre-sales
Online pre-sales of the fifth iPhone started over the weekend.
In the American Apple Store, prices for an unlocked device are not given (but the notes in small print indicate that specialists in the physical store are ready to answer this question).
But in other countries, the price without blocking is quite officially reported.
In Canada, the price for the minimum configuration (16GB) is 699 local dollars , or 719 US dollars, or 22 thousand Russian rubles.
In France and Germany, a device without being tied to an operator costs 679 euros , or 27,260 rubles.
The British price is 529 pounds , or 26,240 rubles at the exchange rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.
The toy is somewhat cheaper in Australia, where it costs 799 local dollars (838 US dollars).
An adapter that allows you to connect a newfangled lightning plug to an old connector costs $29 per unit , which is usual for Apple adapters.
Among the innovations of iOS6, in addition to Google maps, the YouTube application has also been demolished. However, you can download it yourself from the AppStore.
It may seem like good news to a Russian user that Yandex is being integrated into Yablov’s undermaps on our territory . It remains to understand exactly how it will integrate there. In the beta version, the map of Moscow is strange, “for spies,” as they said in Soviet times. With access to Yandex data, the database would look clearly more cheerful.
They also write that more than 2 million iPhone 5 units have already been sold through pre-orders. A record, as expected. In this regard, Yabla's shares are preparing to break through the ceiling of $700 per share. During the trading session, they settled at $699.80.
