Virgin Mobile offers the iPhone 5s for $549, 5c for $449 (both $100 off) unsubsidized

- Oct. 2nd 2013 5:30 am PT

We knew Virgin Mobile was launching the iPhone 5s and 5c today, but we weren’t expecting a $100-off starting price. That’s what’s on offer today from the Sprint subsidiary (Sprint will also knock off $100 the subsidized plans if you are a new customer – so much for loyalty benefits).

Virgin’s plans are the least expensive out there, especially considering they include unlimited data and start at $30/month.

this shouldnt have been a surprise. virgin mobile was selling the iPhone 5 for $100 off of its unlocked price from the day they started selling it. the surprise is that they havent yet discounted the iPhone 5 and now are selling it for the same price as the 5s.
