As expected, Apple unveiled two new smartphones today. The first was the plastic iPhone 5c, and the second the iPhone 5s. And if you’ve been paying attention to the rumor mill over the past several months, there shouldn’t have been any surprises. The 5c comes in various bright colors, and is equipped with hardware comparable to that of the iPhone 5. And the 5s of course looks very similar to its predecessor, but it includes a faster processor, better camera and a built-in fingerprint sensor. You have to admit that even though it sports the same design as last year, and new features were kept to a minimum, the iPhone 5s is still a very impressive handset–both from a design and performance standpoint. Here, take a look at this gallery…(...) "iPhone 5s photo gallery" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| Why it’s an iPhone 5s and not an iPhone 5S Posted: 10 Sep 2013 05:13 PM PDT
Apple has again changed the way the iPhone’s name is spelled out on paper. If you can remember, back when the first incremental upgrade to the iPhone line was released, Apple typed it out like this on paper: iPhone 3G S. Yes, there was a space between the “3G” and the “S” — Thankfully, Apple eventually caved in, or just didn’t care enough to make a big deal out of it when we refused to spell it that way. The iPhone 4S lacked the space between the number and letter, and all was well with the world. Now, on the day of the unveiling of two new Apple devices which both sport a suffixed alphabetical character, debate ensues once again. This time, though, the argument isn’t about spaces, it’s about cases. And I’m not talking about the hideous swiss cheese cases it’s trying to push on unsuspecting iPhone 5c adopters, I’m talking about textual case — the upper and lower variety. Apple has ditched the upper case call letters in favor of a lower case letter. That means that the iPhone 5C isn’t the iPhone 5C at all, it’s the iPhone 5c. That also means that the iPhone 5S is now the iPhone 5s. Apple’s even gone retroactive on us and replaced the iPhone 4S with the iPhone 4s (same device, different name on paper). The question is, why? Why would Apple go through the process of confusing us bloggers, (because let’s face it, we’re probably the only ones who care about this type of stuff) and go and change it again? The answer to that question is probably a lot more straightforward than it first appears.(...) "Why it’s an iPhone 5s and not an iPhone 5S" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| Hands on with the new iOS 7 wallpaper Posted: 10 Sep 2013 04:19 PM PDT
The iOS 7 GM release includes a bunch of new dynamic and static wallpaper for users to enjoy, and we’ve taken the liberty to showcase all of them in a hands-on video just for you. The final version of iOS 7 includes quite a few brand new wallpapers, and many of them are really well done. Have a look past the fold to check them out for yourself…(...)

| Check out these gorgeous photos taken with the new iPhone 5s Posted: 10 Sep 2013 03:52 PM PDT
Apple likely disappointed spec-watchers everywhere when it announced today that it kept the camera on the iPhone 5s at 8-megapixels. This means that, on paper at least, the handset is inferior to those with 12, 13 and 41mp sensors. But as you’ll see in these sample photos, taken with an actual iPhone 5s, that’s just not the case. With its five-element Apple-designed lens, F2.2 aperture and 15% larger active sensor area, the 5s will hold its own among the best of them…(...)

Those who dared saying the “the C in iPhone 5C is for Cheap” were proved to be wrong. As it stands, the iPhone 5c is anything but cheap. Pretty much an iPhone 5 in a new shell, the iPhone 5c is Apple’s most colorful iPhone yet. The iPhone 5c tech specs don’t have anything very exciting, especially if you’ve already looked at the iPhone 5s specs, which we published not long ago. In an effort to document the release of the iPhone 5c, we will post the device’s tech specs here for posterity…(...) "iPhone 5c tech specs" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| The evad3rs are investigating iOS 7 for possible exploits Posted: 10 Sep 2013 03:12 PM PDT
Now that iOS 7 GM has been officially released, the evad3rs — the team responsible for bringing us the iOS 6 evasi0n jailbreak last winter — have started looking into iOS 7. The team, according to prominent iOS hacker and team member @planetbeing, are now in a reconnaissance phase to see which exploits, if any, still work with iOS 7. This is being done on existing devices like the iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, etc. The new devices, especially the iPhone 5S with its 64-bit processor, will presumably be another massive hurdle to overcome once they launch later this month. Regardless of what the final outcome may eventually be, this is great news for those of us who would like a jailbreak for iOS 7.(...)

| Apple announces new ‘Space Gray’ color for iPod touch, nano and shuffle Posted: 10 Sep 2013 02:53 PM PDT
With Apple’s iPod line receiving a significant upgrade last fall, and declining sales making the music players ever-less important, it wasn’t surprising that there was no mention of them during today’s event. But Apple gave them a little love this afternoon, though, as it introduced a new colorway for the iPod touch, nano and shuffle. The devices are now available in the ‘Space Gray’ color, debuted on the iPhone 5S…(...) "Apple announces new ‘Space Gray’ color for iPod touch, nano and shuffle" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
| AppleCare+ launches in UK, France, Italy as Apple quietly jacks up incident fee to $79 Posted: 10 Sep 2013 02:50 PM PDT
If you’re planning on buying a brand spanking new iPhone 5c or treat yourself to one of the colorful new plastic iPhones, you’d be wise to consider Apple’s $99 AppleCare+ extended warranty coverage. Because, for all the talk of the iPhone 5c’s seamless hard-coated polycarbonate plastic shell (“you won't see seams, or part lines, or joins," Apple boasts; here’s how it’s made), the device is in fact prone to scratches and can be damaged. The problem is, AppleCare+ is only available in the United States, Canada and Japan. Well, not anymore. Today, the extended warranty coverage is available to customers in the United Kingdom, France and Italy. Learn more just after the break…(...)

The iPhone 5s might look like an iPhone 5 on the outside, but a few things have changed on the inside, making it, as you’ve probably guessed, the best iPhone yet. Apple usually doesn’t brag too much about specs because, as my wife says, “it’s not about the size of your processor, it’s about what you do with it.” All jokes aside, even though Apple dropped a few tech specs today, we wanted to gather them up all under one roof. More importantly, we have listed the iPhone 5s tech specs below for historical purposes. In several years from now, when the iPhone 5s is nowhere to be found on Apple’s website, this post will help us have a look back on the iPhone 5s and its specs in one convenient place…(...)

| Apple announces new iPhone partnership with Japan’s DoCoMo Posted: 10 Sep 2013 02:31 PM PDT
Although it wasn’t mentioned at the iPhone event, Apple announced today that it has partnered up with Japan’s NTT DoCoMo to offer the iPhone this fall. The company just issued a press release confirming the deal with the carrier. DoCoMo was the last major provider in the country to not offer Apple’s popular handset, after years of failed negotiations. But it appears someone gave in, because the carrier will be selling both new iPhones on September 20th…(...)

| Both the iPhone 5s and 5c support China Mobile’s TD-LTE band Posted: 10 Sep 2013 02:12 PM PDT
Surprisingly, Apple didn’t make any mention of a China Mobile deal at its event today. The Cupertino company had reportedly inked a deal with world’s largest carrier earlier this month to carry its popular handset. But that doesn’t mean it can’t still happen. In fact, some new evidence surfaced today that suggests a partnership is still in the cards. It’s been discovered that both new iPhones support China Mobile’s TD-LTE tech…(...)

| Apple nows offers a single iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c version for AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile Posted: 10 Sep 2013 02:10 PM PDT
As we continue to uncover interesting tidbits following Apple’s introduction of the flagship iPhone 5s and the plastic iPhone 5c this morning, a little-appreciated fact has now come to light. Both new iPhones are offered in four different hardware varieties each versus three different cellular versions of the iPhone 5. The consolidated 5s/5c models offer more LTE bands than before, but the coolest thing is that in the United States a single version now supports AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile. Additionally, a different version of the handsets will provide compatibility with Sprint and Japan’s KDDI and Softbank carriers. Previously, there used to be two different US flavors of the iPhone 5, one for the AT&T and T-Mobile and the other for Verizon and Sprint networks…(...)

In addition to the new 2 meter Lightning cable and its two new charging docks, Apple also unveiled today new custom cases for its new handsets. There’s a fun plastic one for the iPhone 5c, and a sharp-looking leather one for the 5s, and both are available in various colors…(...)

| Apple invites developers to submit their iOS 7 apps Posted: 10 Sep 2013 01:38 PM PDT
With the recent release of iOS 7 GM to developers, it is not surprising that Apple has now been sending emails inviting them to submit their iOS 7 apps. With an official public release set for September 18, developers can finally submit their updated apps. Along with the usual “improvements and bug fixes,” many apps updated for iOS 7 will probably take into account the radical design change introduced by Apple’s latest mobile Operating System.

| Hands on with iOS 7 new ringtones and alerts sounds Posted: 10 Sep 2013 01:08 PM PDT
Apple had at least one surprise that wasn’t totally exposed prior to its keynote this morning — new ringtones and alerts for the final iOS 7 release. These ringtones and alerts are only available with the GM version of iOS 7 that just went live for developers, so current beta users won’t see these yet. We’ve taken the liberty to video all of the new alerts for iOS 7 so that you can hear them for yourself. To our surprise, there’s quite a few new ringtones and a lot of them are really good. Of course, Apple has kept all of the old ringtones as well, making them available in a new classic folder in the Sounds > Ringtone section of the stock Settings app. Take a look inside to hear all of the new iOS 7 ringtones and alerts in their glory.(...)

| Apple introduces new $29 docks for the iPhone 5s and 5c Posted: 10 Sep 2013 12:55 PM PDT
While there weren’t too many surprises during today’s iPhone event, we did get a couple of small ones afterwards. Apple quietly introduced a handful of new accessories for its just-revealed iPhone 5c and 5s handsets. These accessories include a new 2 meter (or 6.5ft) Lightning to USB Cable, which is twice as long as the previous version, as well as—surprisingly—two new Lightning charging docks for its two new smartphones… (...)

| Watch this now: how the iPhone 5c is made Posted: 10 Sep 2013 12:33 PM PDT
Apple’s website is bursting with new goodies. We’ve already posted YouTube versions of promotional videos in which Jonathan Ive, SVP of Design, and Dan Riccio, SVP of Hardware Engineering, educate us on the Touch ID fingerprint scanning and explain the advances behind the iPhone 5s’s rear iSight camera. With the all-new iPhone 5c featuring a polycarbonate plastic shell, the company’s now gone to great lengths discussing the manufacturing process. The following promo clip depicts how Apple collaborated with its complex supply chain in Asia in order to produce the seamless hard-coated polycarbonate plastic shell for the iPhone 5c…(...)

| Apple seeds iOS 7 GM to developers: this is what’s new Posted: 10 Sep 2013 12:19 PM PDT
In a not-so-surprising move, Apple has released iOS 7 GM to developers this afternoon. The release follows Apple’s big iPhone event this morning, where it went over major features from the software and unveiled two new handsets. The GM, or Golden Master, release should be the final one before the update is rolled out to the public next week. And it’s available now to all registered app developers through Apple’s dev center—no sign of over-the-air just yet…(...)

| The price of an unlocked iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c Posted: 10 Sep 2013 12:15 PM PDT
This is it. Apple finally unveiled the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5c without much surprise to anyone who’s been following the rumors for a while. We’ve already posted about the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c pricing and availability but we thought it’d be worth having a post dedicated to these devices’ prices off-contract. So far, looking at Apple’s website, only T-Mobile will be offering unlocked and contract-free iPhones from day one, starting September 20th. If history is any indication of the future, chances are other carriers such as AT&T will later offer the devices without a contact, and unlocked for use on other carriers. But let’s have a look at the prices of contract-free iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c…(...) "The price of an unlocked iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c" is an article by iDownloadBlog.com. |
