Is the iphone 5 really only 199.99 for pre order?

I went on the apple website and the pre order says its only 199.99 for a 16gb. If i get it will i be able to connect it to sprint and switch from my 4s to the 5 even if i'm not due for upgrade?

No, if youre not due for an upgrade, you pay the full retail price of $650 for the 16gb model. The $199 price is only for new customers or people thats due for an upgrade.

When I go on the apple store it says 699.99.
You sure you are reading it right? There's no way the iPhone 5 16 GB is the same price as the iPod touch 8GB. Unless it sucks.

  • Why is the iPhone 5 only $199? I'm going to buy an iPhone 5 online. I went to check how much they were first to only see they're bizarrely $199 for 16gb? Why is this?
  • When the heck is apple going to let people pre order the iphone 5? What time do you know that the will open it? They were supposed to at midnight and I've been waiting for 31 minutes now.
  • Verizon iPhone 5 Pre-Order - apple.com or verizonwireless.com? I'm planning on signing a new contract with Verizon (not currently a customer) and pre-ordering iPhone 5… Will it be best to go through apple.com or verizonwireless.com at 3am, or is there no difference?
  • Should I pre-order the iPhone 5 online or wait until the launchdate? Ok so here's the problem, I'm looking to get the iPhone 5 on a new 2year contract with Verizon & I have no credit backgroundd cause I'm 20 so I heard they would charge me for the phone & I guess like $400 cause I don't have any credit. I'm not sure how this all works or if I should wait till it comes out & go purchase it at the store but not sure if they would do all the same? Lots of answers with detail would be awesome! A deposit of what? How much?
