iPhone 5S/5C release dates for New Zealand

Update: 10/10: The iPhone 5s/5c have now been announced for New Zealand.
Well, the moral of the story on this is any source can’t be trusted and you shouldn’t believe rumors.

Original Story: #

For some strange reason, Apple has been completely silent about the iPhone 5S and 5C dates for New Zealand. Previously, they’ve announced us alongside Australia, but not this year.

Here’s what I’ve heard: iPhone 5S and 5C won’t be released with the initial wave of devices next week here in NZ, but we’ll get them in a second wave on October 10.

As for pricing, I’ve heard that the 5S will start at $1020 for the 16GB model and the 5C will start at $799.

I’ll update this post when I hear more but it looks like the carriers are the roadblock here, not Apple.
