Apple iPhone 5 Prices and Specifications in Pakistan
The iPhone 5 is a very hot topic leading the famous websites these days. Everywhere you will find many gossips about the iPhone 5. Some one must be criticizing the iPhone 5 and some one must be busy in finding when the iPhone 5 would be landing in his/her country, so they could get hands on to it. Recently we reported about the line emerging at the Fifth Ave Store of Apple located in the New York. People are lining up for the iPhone 5 after every hour. After every hour, the line grows by a group of two people or more in the New York for the iPhone 5. Although there are, still twenty hours left approximately for the iPhone 5 launch in the New York.

Amazingly, Pakistan would be having iPhone 5 unofficially by Mobile Retailers the same time or after the official launch in U.S. This might sound a bit strange but technically, it is true. Always Pakistan has gotten the new lineups of the Apple products before the official launch has been done worldwide. There is a long story behind the Apple Products being launched in Pakistan before rest of the world. We will update you with the story sometime else. As for now, we will update you with the iPhone 5 price, specs, and what to see before buying an iPhone 5 in Pakistan.

As we know that Pakistan doesn’t have the iPhone series officially launched, the iPhone’s are imported by the Mobile Retailers from different places and sold over here at different rates. When a person goes to buy an iPhone from the retailer, he is not aware of the real time facts or the things that he should know about the iPhone before buying it. The customer simply hops into the shop and buys the iPhone. When the purchasing behavior is done, the customer then regrets the purchase behavior or faces many problems after the purchase behavior. This thing is very common in Pakistan. We have personally seen people banging their heads after buying an iPhone.

To solve that head banging issue we wrote a complete for every one who needs to buy an iPhone. The guide doesn’t include the iPhone 5 part; we will update it sometime later. The guide is available for Download over here.

Now lets start with the iPhone 5 Specifications that would be great for people of Pakistan. The Specifications mentioned below would be really helpful when buying an iPhone 5 from any Mobile Retailer in the city.

Apple iPhone 5 Specifications

The iPhone 5 doesn’t comes or isn’t made different for the people of Pakistan. They will get the same iPhone 5 that the rest of the world be having. The only difference would be of Models.

The iPhone 5 comes in three different models starting from GSM+4G LTE, CDMA+4G LTE, and GSM + Edge.

Cellular and Wireless Specifications:
- GSM model A1428*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 4 and 17)
- CDMA model A1429*: CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B (800, 1900, 2100 MHz); UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 3, 5, 13, 25)
- GSM model A1429*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 3, 5)
Above are the three models of the iPhone 5 that a person gets to choose from.

Over here, there are two GSM Models and one CDMA Model. We are only interested in the GSM Model of the iPhone 5. The CDMA Model is useless for Pakistan because there is no CDMA Cellular service in Pakistan.

After setting our interest in the GSM Model, one complication arises in LTE Bands. The LTE Bands differ from each other in the GSM Model, which is not a headache for the person buying an iPhone 5 in Pakistan until the person needs to use the iPhone 5 internationally. We are not sure about the LTE Bands because they are referring to different carriers that are supporting an iPhone 5.

Which Model to Buy?

We would recommend going for any GSM Model and not for the CDMA Model. Mostly people buy a CDMA Model and end up having it sold on different online websites.

Capacity of the iPhone 5:

The iPhone 5 comes in three different capacities of 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB. These are the three capacities available in the iPhone 5 and the preceding iPhone 4S.

How much of Capacity iPhone 5 to buy?

We would recommend 16GB of capacity for the iPhone 5 because no one utilizes full capacity of 16GB. At most, people go for 32GB. The highest capacity available in Pakistan is 32GB. No shopkeeper brings in 64GB because no one buys that much of capacity iPhone until the person needs to show off.

Colors of the iPhone 5:

The iPhone 5 comes in two colors. One is Black and Slate. The second is White and Silver.

Apple iPhone 5 Prices in Pakistan:

The iPhone 5 would be priced different in Pakistan. Every Mobile retailer has his own prices. The prices that we came across are of PKR 90,000 and PKR 115,000 for Factory Unlock piece. We are not sure about the colors because the price varies for the color. The white color is priced high and the black one is priced a bit low than the white one.

**The prices told above are tentative and may be changed with the passage of time.

However, the iPhone 5 hasn’t landed in Pakistan yet, so we got two people on hand that are taking pre-orders for the iPhone 5. One is Londonstuioonline and the other one is a local Mobile Shop located in Dalton Market, Karachi.

When to buy an iPhone 5?

According to us, buy the iPhone 5 after few months. The prices of the iPhone 5 would relatively go down and by that time you will have a clear idea whether to buy one or not.

Apple iPhone 5 Pre-Orders Start in Pakistan With Delivery in Two Days

The mimics about the iPhone 5 are going high these days. Every one is talking about the new iPhone 5 released by Apple the last week. The new iPhone 5 got a fully redesigned body and whole lot of new features with increased screen size. This new overhaul in design is not accepted by some of the Apple Fans. They say that Apple has just wasted their time and haven’t made anything new. It is the same old shit with an increment in the screen. No doubt, they are right about the design. However, we think about the iPhone 5 in a different way. We appreciate the design made by Apple with an increment in the screen.

At this point of confusion, people will start to make a debate on the topic that we don’t want to do. Therefore, we would finish the design or size topic and lets move to the real thing. As we, all know the iPhone 5 Pre-Orders started on September 14 and the iPhone 5’s were to be shipped by September 21 that is just few hours away. The initial launch was targeted to specific countries including U.S.A, Australia, U.K, France, Germany, Singapore, Japan, and Hong Kong. Later on September 28, the doors for the iPhone 5 launch will be opened for many other countries.

Over here, we are hearing about the iPhone 5 to land in Pakistan the same time the iPhone 5 is landing in U.S.A. to be clear, the iPhone hasn’t launched officially in Pakistan since the first launch of iPhone 2G in 2007. Apple has never ever announced any official launch or made Pakistan as the launch country until now. However, amazingly the iPhone 5 is going to be landing in Pakistan unofficially on the same above date of September 21. The amazing thing about the launch of iPhone 5 is that, it is available for pre-order online on the website called “londonstudioonline”. This website is accepting iPhone 5 Pre-Orders online on their website and aims to deliver the iPhone 5 in just two days. That is September 22 or September 23, you would be having iPhone 5 at your doorstep without any hustle.

How to Get Apple iPhone 5 in Pakistan from This Web?

To get an Apple iPhone 5 from this web is easy. All you need to do is just place a call on the above-mentioned number and ask them that you need to place an order for the iPhone 5. They will ask some details of you, then you order will be placed.

Apple iPhone 5 Price in Pakistan?

The guys over London Online are selling the iPhone 5 for $1,216 (RS 115,000). The pre-order price for the iPhone 5 is mentioned above. This is what they told to us.

We don’t know about any other mobile retail store’s price for the iPhone 5. We didn’t come across any yet. If you know any, feel free to let us know about it.

What Payment Method does They Accept?

We don’t now them personally, they haven’t approached to us, or they haven’t paid us to write about them. Our reader, Salman Arshad tipped us about the iPhone 5 Pre-Orders starting, therefore we thought to share on.

However, what we know is that they take the payment in advance. They need the full payment to done before hand.

Do you recommend them?

No, we don’t recommend them because we don’t know about the legitimacy of the web or the people. We don’t know how legit they are.

The information we got was that they are operating from Sialkot, Pakistan.

Place an order with them at your own risk. The management of TechGlued.Com will not be responsible for any theft/fraud done with you by them or any one. We don’t recommend you to go with them or any one online.

We only wanted to inform the people of Pakistan to get ready for the Apple iPhone 5 in Pakistan. The future of iPhone’s will be landing in Pakistan the same day as of U.S.A in specific cities.

UpdateX1:

After getting a word of reliability from the person who referred us, we would like to semi-recommend this website for the iPhone 5 pre-orders in Pakistan.

The world’s most advanced mobile operating system updated at the WWDC ’12 gave us the all-new iOS 6 with more than 200 features featuring the deep Facebook Integration with the all new minor interface changes including the Weather application. The iOS 6 also now has no more Google integration as the default YouTube application is removed including the deep map integration as Apple switched it with Tom Tom Inc. Due to the 3D maps. A week ago at the iPhone 5 special media event ‘It’s almost here’ Scott Forestall reviewed the all-new great featured of the iOS 6 and released it the GM to the developers straight after the event.

At the iPhone 5 event, it was revealed that the iOS 6, world’s most advanced mobile operating system would release to public on September 19, Wednesday. Hours before it was revealed that the iOS 6 will release at 1 PM noon according to the Eastern Time including United Stated of America.

The iOS 6 is completely revised but according to many developers, Apple has snapped out some of the tweaks from Jay Freeman’s ‘Cydia’. Many minor additions were also noticed and confirmed in iOS 5 but now there are many more in iOS 6. In actual those features should have been already present to the users as comparing to the other mobile operating system but were not due to the other specialties that attracted people and not the iPhone Operating System.

You can download iOS 6 from our Sofware’s you Need Download Page or do an OTA Update.

iOS 6 Final Version Release Time Alleged Schedule Leaked

Today Apple is going to release the final version of iOS 6 with over 200 features for the iPhone/iPod/iPad. This new final version of iOS 6 will be brining many new innovative features with it in just few hours. Apple announced on September 12 that they would be releasing the final version of iOS 6 on September 19 that is today. Every one must be very curious about the unveiling time of iOS 6 for sure. Whereas many of you people might not be interested into, press that ugly UPDATE button as soon as the iOS 6 arrives. On the other hand, some of you might be waiting for the iOS 6 to arrive, so you can press that UPDATE button and hook onto iOS 6.

Before iOS 6 final version could make appearance, we got our hands on the leaked time table specially made for the iOS 6 Final release. The timetable is made accordingly with all of the time zones around the globe. Every single time zone is shown in the table for the iOS 6 GM. You can see the table below:

The timetable shown above is not yet confirmed or leaked by any reliable source. The above timetable was floating on Twitter and was picked by Fortune’s Philip Elmer DeWitt. However, we cannot authenticate the timetable scheduled time.

Take this timetable as rumor and stay away from the iOS 6 update. Although the iOS 6 Update would be bringing many new features with it, but we recommend you people to stay way from the final release until further notice. This new upcoming final build of iOS 6 isn’t bringing in any features if compared to the iOS 6 GM Version that was released on September 12. Both the versions would be the same. The only difference might be off build numbers.
