14 DAY TRIAL // Wireless carrier Three UK has made the new Apple iPhone 5 available for purchase on its network starting today, providing users with the possibility to grab either the black or the white flavor of the smartphone.
Packing a 4-inch Retina display, the new model is bigger than previous flavors, while also proposing a slight change in design, with the screen being taller but keeping the same width.
The iPhone 5 is now available at Three UK for no upfront cost on the carrier’s £44 per month plan, and can be purchased for £79 on the £34 or £36 plans, or for prices ranging from £129 to £189 on the £32 to £30 monthly plans.
This offering is available for the 16GB flavor of the new Apple iPhone, while the 32GB and 64GB versions can be purchased for no upfront costs on the £49 and £54 plans, respectively.
In addition to the handset, these 24-month contracts also deliver up to 1,000 any network minutes, 5,000 texts, and various amounts of data (unlimited internet is available on the £44, £49 and £54 plans).
For those out of the loop, we should note that the new iPhone 5 arrives on shelves with a fast dual-core 1GHz A6 chip packed inside, to deliver better performance than before.
Moreover, the handset features an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, an iSight camera with panorama capabilities and the ability to shoot 1080p videos (full HD resolution). It also includes a front camera to enable video calling.
The smartphone arrives on shelves with the new iOS 6 platform, said to be the most advanced mobile OS in the world, as well as with a range of features powered by it.
Among them, we can count Siri—Your intelligent assistant, FaceTime video calling and iCloud—Your content on all your devices, along with support for over 700,000 apps in the App Store, as well as the All-new Apple EarPods.
