Currently, Americans can only buy iPhone 5s that are locked down to a two year contract: that's a $199 down payment plus a contract with Verizon, Sprint or AT&T.

Outside the US, unlocked iPhone 5s have been available since the release date: in the UK the iPhone 5 starts at £529 for the unlocked model, in Europe it's 679 euro.

There is no way to check this isn't just placeholder text, but the figures accord with prices given from retailers like AT&T which is offering a pay as you go "no commitment" iPhones for $649. ®
