iPhone 5 prices in UAE sink as customers wait for iPhone 5S

With rumours about an imminent launch of the upcoming iPhone 5S getting louder, the price of iPhone 5 in the UAE has begun to weaken, sliding by about 19 per cent in some cases.

The Apple Store UAE retails the iPhone 5 at Dh2,599 for the 16GB variant, with a promise to dispatch the device within 24 hours.

On the other hand, the price of the 16GB iPhone 5 at major retail stores across the country, where one can buy the device off-the-shelf, averages about Dh2,749.

That’s the amount you’ll have to shell for a 16GB iPhone 5 if you walk into Sharaf DG, Axiom Telecom, or Jumbo Electronics.

However, starting yesterday, one of the UAE’s largest retailers,Carrefour, has been offering the still-hot-selling Apple device for a price of Dh2,479, plus a Dh250 Carrefour Coupon, which brings the net price of the device down to Dh2,229.
