Interested in the iPhone 5S or cheaper iPhone 5C? Here's how you can get your hands on them as soon as possible.
(Credit: Sarah Tew; edited by Mari Benitez) The company also unveiled the iPhone 5C, a lower-cost model that is being offered in a variety of color options. The device is similar to last year's iPhone 5, with a 4-inch Retina Display, 8-megapixel rear camera, and dual-core A6 processor.
Rather than an aluminum and glass body, however, the iPhone 5C features a plastic shell, similar to the older iPhone 3G and 3GS.
Here's when, where, and how you can get your hands on Apple's latest smartphones:
When and where
The iPhone 5S and 5C will be released on September 20. The company noted that preorders for the iPhone 5C will begin on September 13. Apple did not announce preorder information for the iPhone 5S.Apple
Like other iPhones before it, the 5S and 5C will be brought into this world with great fanfare. Lines have already begun to form in front of at least one Apple store, and more crowds are expected as launch day nears. Apple is scheduled to open its retail stores at 8 a.m. local time on September 20. The easiest way to get your hands on the iPhone 5S is to order it online. If you are more interested in the lower-priced iPhone 5C, it is recommended you preorder the device beginning September 13 from Apple's online store.
Carriers
Apple's Web site can quickly become overwhelmed by the thousands of eager customers looking to purchase a new smartphone. There are other options, though. Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile have all confirmed that they will offer both devices. New or existing customers can preorder the iPhone 5C online from their respective carrier beginning on September 13. If online shipping dates begin to slip, customers can attempt to purchase either model in carrier stores on September 20. Those interested in the iPhone 5C on AT&T can preregister now on the company's site to be notified with more information.
Smaller regional carriers such as C-Spire and Cricket have also offered Apple's new iPhones in the past, but neither has announced release information at this time.
Retailers
Major retailers like Best Buy, RadioShack, Target, and Walmart have also traditionally offered Apple's new iPhones in-store and online.
The iPhone 5S is being offered in three different color combinations: gold with white accents, silver with white accents, and "Space Gray" with black accents. The device will also be available in a variety of storage options, including 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB models. The plastic iPhone 5C will be offered in 16GB and 32GB capacities, along with five different color options: white, lime green, light blue, red, and yellow.
Pricing
The iPhone 5S starts at $199 for the 16GB model with a new two-year service agreement; models with 32GB and 64GB of storage can be had for $299 and $399 on contract, respectively. The iPhone 5C will be offered for $99 for the 16GB model and $199 for the 32GB model with a new two-year service agreement. The iPhone 5S can be had without a contract for $649, $749, and $849 for the 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB models, respectively.
