Comment iPhone Islam

Apple came up with all of the previously speculated, but with slight differences, so the C in the name 5C stands for Color, while the 5S, S stands for "Security." The plastic iPhone came with the specifications of the iPhone 5 and became a substitute for it, and its price will be less than $ 100 than its brother 5S, which is a price we see high, especially since it is supposed to be the cheap iPhone and also the technical difference between them is very large, so if you will pay $ 649 in the iPhone 5S, which is open to all Networks -16 GB-, so why pay $ 549 to buy a 5C? !!. But Apple may decide to sell the device only closed with networks (so far we don't know). As for the date of the device’s arrival in our Arab world, it will be roughly the same date as the previous year - it arrived on Friday, December 14th -.

- IPhone 5S / 5C will start booking on the 13th of this month.
- Sale will begin on September 20 in the 8 countries mentioned above.
- IOS 7 will be available for download on September 18th for everyone.
- Apple has stopped selling the iPhone 5, but it will continue to support it, and it will get iOS 7 and iOS 8 next year, God willing, and possibly iOS 9 in 2015.
- When the system is released - on September 18th - we will provide a detailed article explaining how to upgrade without losing any data.
- The prices mentioned by Apple, such as $ 99 and $ 199 and others, are prices for the American market, with mandatory contracts for two years, and not the prices that we will reach in our Arab world or in countries where the phone is sold and is open to all networks.
- The phone is expected to officially arrive in our countries next December.
