아이폰5s•5c의 국내 온라인 예약판매가 시작한 지 7∼13분만에 마감됐다.
SK텔레콤과 KT는 25일 출시가 예정된 아이폰5s와 아이폰5c의 예약판매를 온라인 T월드다이렉트(tworlddirect.com)와 올레닷컴(olleh.com)을 통해 받은 결과, 선착순 5천명분이 각각 13분과 7분만에 마감됐다고 18일 밝혔다.
양사는 오프라인 대리점을 통한 예약가입은 출시 직전까지 계속 받는다고 설명했다.
아이폰5s의 출고가는 기존 아이폰5와 같이 16GB 모델이 81만4천원, 32GB 모델이 94만6천원, 64GB 모델이 107만8천원이다. 아이폰5c 16GB 모델 출고가는 70만4천원이 다.
이통사들은 중고 스마트폰 매입 서비스인 '에코폰', '그린폰'을 통해 아이폰5s •5c 구입시 이용할 수 있는 중고 스마트폰 보상판매 등도 운영한다. 이를 이용하면 아이폰5s를 최저 20만원대에 구입할 수 있다.
SK텔레콤은 아이폰 이용자가 젊은 층이 많다는 점에 착안해 아이폰5s•5c 출시에 맞춰 '심야 데이터 할인'을 다음 달 1일 도입한다.

S. Korean mobile operators accept preorders for new iPhone models
South Korea's two mobile carriers -- SK Telecom Co. and KT Corp. -- said Friday they have begun taking preorders for Apple Inc.'s latest iPhone models that are expected to hit the local market later this month.
South Korean customers can preorder the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c on the operators' websites. Preorders for the newest iPhone line-up can also be made at the mobile carriers' local retail stores.
The 16-gigabyte iPhone 5s is priced at 814,000 won ($767), with the comparable figure for the iPhone 5C set at 704,000 won, the mobile operator said.
Apple launched the new handsets last month in the United States, China and other markets, and reported that it sold some nine million units in the first three days. The new devices will be also launched this month in some other countries, the iPhone maker said earlier.
Apple's newest smartphones came as it has been struggling with a decline in its presence in the global smartphone market.
Samsung Electronics Co., the world's largest smartphone maker and Apple's archrival, posted a record shipment in the second quarter of the year, earlier data showed.
According to the data compiled by research firm Strategy Analytics, Samsung Electronics shipped a record 76 million smartphones in the second quarter, compared with 69.4 million in the previous quarter.
The South Korean smartphone maker also continued to dominate the global smartphone market in terms of market share, with its stake in the April-June period standing at 33.1 percent, remaining flat from the previous quarter, according to the researcher.
On the other hand, Apple saw its smartphone shipments sink to
31.2 million in the second quarter from 37.4 million from three months earlier, with its market share falling to 13.6 percent from 17.9 percent over the cited period, it said. (Yonhap News)
