If I buy a iPhone 5 at the store, will it still be running iOS 6 or 7?

I want to buy the iPhone 5 (not the iPhone 5s or c) because it has iOS 6 on it instead of iOS 7 (which I do not like) and wondering if the people at the store still have the iPhones that run iOS 6 on them. Thanks!

It is unlikely that you will find an iPhone 5 in any store for sale.
The iPhone 5 has not been available for sale since November of 2013 when the 5S and 5C were replaced.
The only way to acquire an iPhone 5 at this point is via the used/refurbished market.  Unless you buy a used iPhone that was never upgraded, you will not find one running iOS6.

  • If i buy an iphone with a bad esn, will i still be able to use the apple appstore?

    1. If I buy an iphone with a bad esn, will i still be able to use the apple app store?
    2. Searching craigslist, it looks like iphones with a bad esn are cheaper than buying an ipod.  If it's the same functionality, then is there a downside to getting an iphone with a bad esn instead of an ipod touch?
    Thanks

    Actually, you can in fact restore it or re-activate it using iTunes. A bad ESN just means it can't ne activated for phone service, but it can still be used as a touch. Phones with bad ESN's are not necessarily stolen, if the owner/account holder fails to pay their bill, the carrier will list with a bad ESN.

    Iphone 4 supports a micro-sim but iPhone 5, 5c and 5s supports a nano sim which is slightly shorter than micro-sim so you have to trim your micro-sim into a nano sim or you can get a new one

  • If I buy an iPhone 5 in the UK will it work in Italy with an Italian SIM?

    Italy is not included on the LET chart and the website says "an unblocked iPhone 5 may not support LET networks in all other counrties". If I go to an Apple store in Italy and get a SIM compatable with the iPhone 5 it should work right?
    Any info would be great! Thanks

    ONLY if you buy direct from Apple in UK
    Apple are the ONLY source of unlocked iPhones in UK over any model
    All others will be locked to a carrier
    The iPhone5 sold in UK ( and Europe ) covers LTE band 1,3,5 ( GSM A1429)
    Don't know what bands Italy uses or has service on

  • I want to buy an Iphone 5s in the UK to use in Panama, any idea how to check which model I am buyin online? HELP!!!

    Hi,
    I want to buy an Iphone 5s from the uk apple store online and I will be using it in Panama. I have contacted my carrier (Movistar Panama) and they have given me a list of the Iphone 5s models that will work with their network:
    Model A1533 (GSM)*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 13, 17, 19, 20, 25)
    Do you know how can I get to know if I'm buying the right model from the online store?
    Thanks!

    The A1533 model is sold only in the US, Canada and Puerto Rico. You will not be able to get that model in the UK.

  • Where to buy my iPhone 5 from? I will be living in Canada for a while after 6 months. And returning to the UK regularly so I want an unlocked iPhone so I can use a local sim in Canada and a local sim in the UK to keep roaming costs down. But which model?

    Thank you for you help in advance

    If you buy an iPhone at the UK or Canadian Apple stores, it should work on the GSM frequencies in both countries. LTE will not work as the LTE channels are different in each country and each iPhone sold in each country is only compatible on LTE channels of that particular country. Other wise it should be fine.
    Be aware that only the Apple store (retail or online) sells the unlocked iPhone in the UK. I think the situation is similar in Canada. (It is in the US).

  • If I buy an iphone 5 in the US (e.g. unlocked Verizon's version), can I use it in other countries such as Hong Kong?

    Thank you!

    I'm not sure why you think a Verizon phone is unlocked?  All iPhones sold in the US are carrier locked.

  • If i buy an iPhone 5s from the United States will the iPhones warranty be honoured in New Zealand?

    If i buy an iPhone 5s from the United States will the iPhones warranty be honoured in New Zealand?

    Warranty for the iPhone is not and has never been International.
    Purchase the device in the country where it is intended to be used.
    Also, be aware that there is no gurantee that an iPhone from the US will work on LTE anywhere else in the world.

  • If i buy an unlocked iphone 4s in the usa will it work in Australia? and will the warranty be valid in astralia as i have been told that apple have a world wide after sales service but also been told warranties are only valid in the country of purchase

    Each country is a separate business. If Apple in Australia fixes a phone purchased in another country it reduces their profit. The good news is that Apple stores will frequently replace phones purchased in other countries under warranty, but they are not required to do so. Some countries are more liberal than others. India never does, for example.
    Why don't you just buy it in Australia? The price difference can't be that great.

  • If i buy an iPhone in the USA will it still work when i move to Canada?, If i buy an iPhone in the USA will it still work when i move to Canada?

    If i buy an iphone in the USA will it still work when i move back to Canada?

    You would probably want to look at a factory unlocked iPhone so you do not have to use a contract with a US carrier.  And look at the network standards being used, in the US iPhones are CDMA (verizon and Sprint) and GSM (AT&T).  What are the carriers in Canada using?  If majority, or the carrier in your location are GSM then you should look at the GSM iPhone.  Also check warranty and applicability in Canada...iPhone warranties are supposed to be valid only in the country of purchase.
    AppleCare+ is available in the US and Canada but, again, be sure you can transfer the coverage to Canada.

  • Is it possible to buy an iphone 5 in the states and take it back to another country for use?

    Is it possible to buy an iphone 5 in the states and take it back to another country for use?

    Apple has not yet announced the availability of unlocked iPhones in
    the US, but they are for sale in Canada, parts of Europe, and elsewhere.
    Warranty is not international. Service and repair/replacement only in
    country of original purchase. LTE/4G may or may not work in other
    country depending on bands and frequencies used.

    Hi, Chris.
    I did some research and found that your answers are not completely accurate.
    The T-mobile contract-free iPhone is already being sold, but it will take 7-10 business days to ship. And, as confirmed by Apple Specialists and also by people who have already bought it, it is factory unlocked.
    Yes, there is a contract free T-Mobile phone, but it is not "the" unlocked phone which Apple will begin to sell usually 2 months or so from the release date. So my answer to that question is accurate. I specifically identified the T-Mobile phone, and a search of the forum would yield some responses identifying its inability to work in some locations. And again, it has to be the T-Mobile phone sold at the Apple store, not T-Mobile.

    Regarding French LTE bands, they use 800, 1800 and 2600MHz, all of those supported by the iPhone 6.
    While that statement is accurate, see Lawrence's response regarding how it works.

    And finally, about the warranty, that is also something that should be checked country by country. Although Apple says its warranty won't cover products purchased abroad, some countries' laws require manufacturers to provided services under warranty to phones no matter where they were purchased. For example, since Apple has a branch in Brazil, justice here has repeatedly ruled in favor of customers  who needed service on iPhones purchased in other countries.
    While that may be an example, the overall warranty statement by Apple is that warrant is specific to the country of purchase for the reasons that Lawrence states. Certain devices cannot be found in certain countries. Should I travel to Brazil and have a problem with my phone, they would have a very difficult time replacing a locked AT&T device. They would not have that stock.
