U.S. Cellular, the 5th largest wireless network in the US, has announced today that it will get the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c on November 8th. Subscribers on the network have been champing at the bit for the announcement and Twitter is full of folks complaining that they still hadn’t announced a date.
The iPhone 5s and 5c launched essentially simultaneously on Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile, and has been rolling out to smaller carriers ever since. November 8th marks a delay of over a month from the initial release, though Virgin Mobile and other regional carriers have had it since early October.
U.S. Cellular has yet to announce exact pricing and plan details, but it seems likely they’ll be very similar to the majors. Some retailers like Best Buy have been slicing the sticker price of the iPhone 5c by around $50 to boost early sales.
More to come…
