The iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c supports both 1700/2100MHz AWS bands which means it will work on networks of newer wireless entrants. iPhoneinCanada reader Adrian sent us this screenshot of his brand new iPhone 5s hooked up to WIND Mobile, one of the first in the country. Check it out below:
Also note Adrian’s iPhone 5s is downloading iOS apps from iWork and iLife, now free for new iOS devices. Some readers have also reported the free app download prompt for older iPhone 5 models, after being activated onto a new AppleCare plan.
WIND Mobile last reported they had over 2,500 unlocked iPhone 5 users on their network and are currently trying to lure more users with a new promo. Anyone else using their new unlocked iPhone 5s or iPhone 5c on newer wireless entrant networks? Email us a screenshot to tips@iphoneincanada.ca.
