iPhone 5S and 5C Go Live, With Queues Forming Outside Apple Stores Around The World

Apple’s iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C go on sale today in a few selected countries around the world, including US, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, Singapore and the UK. Eager fans camped overnight outside the Apple stores and the vibes around are definitely getting louder and very positive, overall. The 5S and 5C come with iOS 7, which Apple described as “the most significant iOS update since the original iPhone”. And while the 5C model is basically an iPhone 5 coming in a colored plastic case, the 5S, on the other hand, includes a faster processor, which Apple claims is about twice as fast as the iPhone 5, a new A7 chip, which makes the phone “the world’s first smartphone with 64-bit desktop-class architecture,” an improved 8-megapixel iSight camera on the back, a new M7 motion chip under the lid, and a Fingerprint Touch ID sensor that can replace your passwords and be used to make purchases from Apple’s iTunes store.

Here’s a few examples of some of the lines starting to form outside Apple Stores around the world:

Confirmed: Apple iPhone Event is Set For Sept 10

After a long time rumors about a possible event, Apple has finally sent invitations for a press conference to be held September 10, 2013, at 10 a.m. Pacific, 1 p.m. Eastern, at the Cupertino Headquarters, to announce details about the upcoming line of flagship iphone devices, and probably some other very interesting stuff, such as the iOS 7 and more. By “more” we hope to get an official release date for Apple’s latest and greatest OS X 10.9, also dubbed Mavericks, and a refresh to the Retina display iPads or the Retina MacBook Pros. 

Apple’s invitations usually include some hints as to what the event will be about, and this year the tagline, which appears at the bottom of some sort of an abstract colorful polka dot background, is saying — “this should brighten everyone’s day” — the event, that is, of course. As for the colorful dots, that could probably confirm early leaks about a possible release of some bright multi-colored iPhone 5C casing, but hell, we’d certainly want to see a gold iPhone variant as well.  

Another theory suggests that the colorful dots and the style of the fonts (above) were designed in the spirit of the new iOS 7 (a flat design). We can’t be too sure about it, but let’s give out our chance and hope for the best.

Alleged iPhone 5C Cases Start Showing Up Online

Apple is gearing up for one of those major events, where it’ll officially announce the iPhone 5S and the iphone 5C, on September 10 or so. While rumors continue to circulate about the possibility of two different iphone machines, the 5S which is the company’s heir to the throne, and the 5C that is expected to emerge as Apple’s “low-end” offering, alleged soft cases for the iPhone 5C are beginning to appear online these days, and they may provide us with some clues about the overall design and the size of each dimension. 

One such online store we’ve stumbled across, that is offering Apple’s new cases is Deal Extreme, which has just started to sell the goods. Looking at the picture they posted (above), we see the same pattern and exact shade of colors as we have already seen before. But the specs are new for the most part. A quick glance at the ultra-thin protective back case, for instance (that is about the closest we get to the actual dimensions of the real phone), will teach us that it will measure in at 4.96 in x 2.36 in x 0.35 (12.6 cm x 6.0 cm x 0.9 cm), exactly the same as in the previous releases. In other words, NO size change, in case you were speculating on the topic. Perhaps a tad thicker, as some other cases suggest, but we expect the overall layout and design to remain pretty much the same.

We’ll keep you updated as more information comes in.
