Got mine from state owned ICE in Costa Rica. Price was $700 for the 16gb including taxes which I think its a fair deal considering we have 12% duties on phones over here.
I got mine from an AT&T store... I love my plan, and it didn't change, so I was happy to sign up for another 2 years, and get the phone for $199.00. They also gave me $100 trade in on my iPhone 4, plus matched Amazon's price on a life proof case, so I am very happy!
In my country, apple store already out of stock when i want to purchase it. I got mine from one of local supplier here. But its a little bit expensive than usual cause demand is high here 😡..
Just got my wife a 32 gb 5c from Verizon. It was free with the 2 yr contract on the More Everything Plan. The problem has been finding a good case for it.
