The new Apple iPhone will be sold than the current model of the "apple" iPhone 5s smartphone. The first data came from Spain and Italy, reports CNews .
In Spain, the iPhone 6 with a screen of 4.7 inches will be sold at a price of 750 euros for the model with the lowest memory. The cost of a 5.5-inch smartphone in the basic configuration will be 950 euros, the Spanish Internet publication Movilzona said with reference to representatives of the local telecommunication giant Telefonica.
These prices are fair when buying a phone without a contract - that is, with the possibility of free use on the network of any operator, including abroad.
For comparison, the cost of the iPhone 5s in Spain is currently 699 euros for a model with 16 GB of memory, 799 euros - 32 GB and 899 euros - 64 GB.
Thus, based on preliminary information, the iPhone 6 with a screen of 4.7 inches will cost 7%more expensive, and with a screen of 5.5 inches - by 36%.
Movilzona emphasizes that negotiations on the cost of new iPhone between Apple and Telefonica are still underway. Therefore, the final cost may be different.
And the publication WireD reported that in Italy the cost of a 4.7 -inch model will begin approximately at 780 euros, and models with a screen of 5.5 inches - 980 euros. The cost of the iPhone 5s in Italy is also higher than in Spain. Now this version is sold at a price of about 730 euros for a model from 16 GB on board.
Earlier it was assumed that the cost of the iPhone 6 could be higher due to the fact that Apple applied a more expensive sapphire glass in it. However, the difference in the cost between the sapphire glass and the Gorilla Glass glass, which is used in the iPhone 5s, is not so significant and is only $ 13.
As expected, Apple will present its new smartphone on September 9. At the same time, individual sources of a number of media outlets suggest that IPhone 6 sales can begin on September 19, although there were previously reports on the appointment of a launch of sales on October 14.
Sale of the outgoing season
Prices for the iPhone 5S in Russia fell on the eve of the presentation of the iPhone 6. This is evidenced by the data of the Mail.ru retailers monitoring sites.
It is noted that the fall amounted to 6,000 rubles: all the options have fallen in price - from smartphones from 16 GB to 64 GB of memory. If it were not for the fall of the ruble in relation to the dollar, then the collapse of the price would be even more noticeable.
According to informed sources, the iPhone 6 may officially appear in Russia a couple of weeks after the start of sales of the gadget in the United States.
