Call it the cookie-cutter approach: a Dubai retailer is offering the16GB
iteration of the hot-selling iPhone 5 for Dh4,100 – the lowest price quoted by a
retailer so far in the country, and Dh1,900 cheaper than what it was being
offered for on the first day of the global launch.
Siasa Group, which has a presence in the UK, UAE, Hong Kong and China, claims the iPhone 5 is now available at Siasa Dubai and will soon be distributed to other retailers and wholesalers through the Siasa distribution channels in the UAE.
A Siasa spokesperson told Emirates 24|7 that Apple’s latest smartphone is selling fast. “We had pre-sold the entire batch of 150 smartphones we received on Saturday,” he said, adding that they’d already managed to sell most of the 230 iPhone 5 smartphones they received on Sunday by 2pm, when this news website spoke with him. “Another 150 are on the way,” he added.
What’s more, when queried about iPhone 5’s incompatibility with the current crop of SIM cards available from local retailers etisalat and du, he offered to ‘fit’ our current SIM card into the nano-SIM slot. How would he do that? “We’ll do it for you,” he promised. There is indeed a nano-SIM cutter available online, as this site revealed yesterday.
