If you really can’t wait until this Friday, September 21st to get your hands on the new iPhone 5 from Apple, or you don’t want to wait in long busy queues (as some fans are already doing) then don’t worry just head to Hong Kong and buy an iPhone 5 in the grey market now!
It seems that the Hong Kong grey markets have decided to jump the gun and launch Apple’s new iPhone 5 a couple of days early.
One grey iPhone 5 market vendor in Hong Kong named Mr Lo has already received a small quantity of the new iPhone 5 and has started to sell the 4 inch Apple phones on at a marketed up premium price.
Gizchina News of the week
Mr Lo didn’t hasn’t mentioned where or how has managed to get stock of the phone even before official Apple stores have started selling the LTE equipped phone, but has gone on to mention that he already has provisions to bring in more iPhone 5’s to Hong Kong through a network of smugglers from across the globe!
The official prices for the iPhone 5 in Hong Kong will start at HK$ 5,588 (US$721) for the 16GB model rising to HKD$7,188 (US$927) for the 64GB model on the 21st when Apple officially start sales, for those of you who can’t wait expect to pay from HKD$8,800 (US$1,135) to HKD$10,800 (US$1,393)!
I wouldn’t be so excited and pay for something that is over priced and over-rated….. Iphone 5 has got much to offer for me and it is not that much faster than S3 in benchmark especially when S3’s has more features on the phone (which actually helps slows down the system)…. The one to look out and to drool like Homer thiking about beers for is the new APQ 8064 quad core chip which is on Oppo Find 5 x909 and it will not be over priced like the Iphone5.
Unless another company can come up with some ridiculous spec’d phone and at a low price….. (Oppo please do not disappoint)
Probably they are stolen from factory.
I’d like to know if the pricing are still the same this time compared to when it first came out…
