Is IP5 sold in India/Malaysia factory unlocked?
If you buy it from the carriers, I would assume it is simlocked.

That's great, then the iPhone 5 can be unavailable there as well...
Shouldn't they at least try to overcome the current mountain of back orders?
... with about 70 percent of its revenues coming from outside of the U.S.you know what man, i could care less if in the uk iphone 5 gets lunched at the same time as the US or India.....Apple is an american company, founded and operating in US......
some of these 'american comments' make me smh. You guys already got so many us-only features from apple products. And i wonder how well (or bad) the maps will do in these countries.
I am surprised people in these countries are paying close to $1200 for 16GB Model. I guess customs duty is high.

Nobody cares about the iPhone in India. Apple has lost the market share battle there a long time ago. Android and Blackberry own the Indian market. Its the truth.
If ignorance were bliss, you would be the autocrat of a one-man utopia.
iPhone 5 releasing in India on 2nd November. Apple stores have started to take Pre orders also....!!
I booked my white 64 GB
Prices are INR 45500, 52500 and 59500 for the 3 models respectively.
And you still can't walk into an Apple store in the US and buy one.
here we go again.
there is a world outside of america. and people outside of America are generally paying higher prices for them. so there is profit to be made in other countries. and what makes the US more deserving of iphone 5 than other countries.
here in Qatar unlocked iphone 5 devices are going for 16 gb are going for $1000 and 64gb are almost $1400. in america you are paying less than half of that. and there is currently isn't any iphone 5 locked into a network here yet so people are forced to buy it at that price. vodafone is going to come out with theirs at the end of this month but it still cost $700 (and its locked into vodafone). which is still pricey.
Simple. Apple is an American company, supply your home demand first. And I would venture to guess that Apple doesn't make more money on foreign sales, it's the import taxes and fees that drive the price up. Take Brazil for example. There is a 60% duty fee imposed on imported goods, now take the price gouging by the sellers and you have the outrageous prices being charged. Apple is not charging Qatar customers $1000.
