With the announcement having already been and gone with respect to the iPhone 5, it's now time for prospective buyers to brace themselves for the usual frenzy. The Cupertino company's most prized of assets is available to pre-order right now in 9 launch countries including United States, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore. It will be available in more countries starting September 28th. By December this year, iPhone 5 will be available in more than 100 countries around the world.
Earlier, we brought you the ultimate battle of the two most popular smartphone vendors and their flagship devices. Having assessed the iPhone 5 of Apple and Samsung's Galaxy S III, we found both to be technically advanced, and the differences between the two - such as screen and device size - are only important if one prefers a large display, or a smaller one.
The highly anticipated Apple media event has been and gone without a hiccup, and although the iPhone 5 carries pretty much all of the features which we were expecting, the majority of analysts seem to agree that this sixth-generation release will be Apple's most successful smartphone release yet. Pre-orders for the new device begin in all initial territories tomorrow morning with Apple delivering the first wave of handsets to those lucky enough to get one the following Friday.
Now that Apple has officially revealed the iPhone 5, it’s time we compare it against previous iPhone - the 4S. Check out the full comparison after the jump!
Whilst the big technology companies are, to a degree, responsible for shaping the world we live in, they do often take themselves just a little too seriously, and Apple is certainly the best at it. Yesterday was another procession filled with superlatives and self-congratulation, and if you find that rigmarole just a little tiresome, then you'll certainly enjoy CollegeHumor's version of the keynote, held yesterday at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
It’s time to do comparisons! We’ve already compared the smartphone kings, iPhone 5 vs. Galaxy S III, and now it’s time to compare different aspects of the iPhone 5 with its predecessor iPhone 4S which, by the way, is still a very capable smartphone. Check it out after the jump!
So, the event has finally been and gone, and before I get started on comparing the two biggest smartphones on the market, it's pretty funny how such a long-winded spell of rumor and speculation can be put to rest in less than two hours, isn't it? If you've been anxious for Apple to come out and pay heed to all the leaks then I can most certainly empathize, and barely does the iPhone 5 get to rub its eyes for the first time than it is swiftly thrown in at the deep end with the Samsung Galaxy S III.
If you didn't manage to catch the coverage of today's Apple event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, you'll be pleased to know it's available to watch right now for your viewing pleasure.
The iPhone 5 packs plenty of new and interesting features, and among them is a significantly improved camera. To some less tech-savvy consumers, a transition from an 8-megapixel snapper to, well, another 8-megapixel camera will mean - in their eyes - the rear-facing shooter is unchanged, although as we know, there are plenty of different aspects of a decent camera, and the number of megapixels is certainly not he bottom line.
If you are a registered developer on the official iOS development program, the time has come to head on over to the developer center and see exactly what Apple has in store for us, with iOS 6 GM for iPhone 4S, 4, 3GS, iPad 3, iPad 2, iPod touch and Apple TV just been seeded on the Dev Center.
