Apple’s popular flagship handset, the iPhone 5S, and its less expensive counterpart, the 5C, will be available off-contract to Virgin Mobile customers.
According to the prepaid carrier’s Twitter, it will begin selling the devices on October 1.
This is uncommonly fast for Virgin, since it usually takes a couple of months after an iPhone’s debut for it to arrive on the carrier.
Though Virgin’s promo site for the devices does not outline pricing information, the company has confirmed the following contract-free pricing:
