Discontinued hardware to remain available until stock runs dry

Apple continues to carry its relatively new iPhone 5 handset with a much more attractive price point, following the introduction of two brand new models with new features and updated specs.

Confirmed by iLounge, “Apple is selling off its stock of iPhone 5 units at $99/$199/$299 for 16GB/32GB/64GB models with a standard contract.”

The numbers are pretty much the same in EU territories, only they have the € sign in front of them.

Author Phil Dzikiy is likely talking about Apple’s brick-and-mortar stores, since this particular phone model is nowhere to be found at store.apple.com (Apple’s online store).

The prices are reportedly for new, factory-sealed handsets, not refurbished units. The iPhone 5 will be sold at these prices until Apple calls back the remainder of the stock, at which point refurbished units might also go on sale.
