Virgin Mobile to sell iPhone 5S, 5C starting

Apple's popular flagship
handset, the iPhone 5S , and
its less expensive
counterpart, the 5C , will be
available off-contract to
Virgin Mobile customers.
According to the prepaid
carrier's Twitter , it will begin
selling the devices on
October 1.
This is uncommonly fast for
Virgin, since it usually takes a
couple of months after an
iPhone's debut for it to arrive
on the carrier.
Though Virgin's promo site
for the devices does not
outline pricing information,
the company has confirmed
the following contract-free
pricing:
        16GB       32GB    64GB
5S $549.99 $649.99 $749.99
5C $449.99 $549.99 N/A
The iPhone 5S features a 4-
inch screen, an 8-megapixel
camera, and a unique
fingerprint ID scanner on its
home button. The iPhone 5C
has much of the same specs
with a less powerful A6
processor, and comes in
several colors. For more
