Singtel, Starhub and M1 release price plans for iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C
Local telcos Singtel, Starhub and M1 this week released subsidised prices for the new iPhone 5S and 5C.
Based on non-contract prices for the new phones, as posted last week on Apple’s website, the 16GB versions will cost S$988 for the iPhone 5S and S$848 for the iPhone 5C.
But buyers locking in a monthly subscription will be able to pay at lower nominal prices, according to the price plans unveiled by the telcos.
According to Cnet, top-tier plans across the three telcos show the biggest difference – Singtel’s Prestige plan charges $239.90 per month while M1’s iPhone Max+ and Starhub’s iPhone SmartSurf Elite charges $198 and $205, respectively.
It also said that M1 offers the best value “as the combined cost for the iPhone5S (64GB) is $900 cheaper than Singtel and $141 lesser than Starhub”.
It added that M1’s Extreme+ is the cheapest plan on the list.
Customers will be able to get hold of the phones after they hit the shelves on Friday, 20 September.
Here’s the list of the price plans below:
