iPhone 5s Release Date and Price: Latest iPhone Now Available in South Korea, Russia, Italy, Spain, New Zealand and 30 Other Countries
The iPhone 5s and 5c have now been released in 35 more countries more than a month after its release in the United States.
While the iPhone 5s has maintained its popularity since it was released, the iPhone 5c has thoroughly disappointed thus far. Apple has even cut back on its production of the cheaper phone. Much of the disappointment has been based around the fact that the 5c did not feature nearly as many changes or upgrades as the 5s. The 5c had an improved front facing camera and a handful of small other changes, but the most significant was the affordability and the colorful nature of the phones. The iPhone 5s, on the other hand, boasts a gold screen as one of the options.
The countries the new phone was released in this week include Russia, Italy, Spain, and 32 more. However, despite the new release in various other countries, the phone no longer sees the wild initial rush to the stores upon release since a number of people traveled to the United States to get the phone to bring back to their respective home countries.
The iPhone 5s and 5c are the newest phones to feature the iOS 7 operating system that was also released in September. The new operating system, coupled with the new phones, made up part of Apple's rush to release new products ahead of the anticipated November black Friday sale. Among other things that were released by Apple include new iPads as well as a new operating system for the computer, dubbed OSX Mavericks.
