It's been six years in the making, but today finally sees an Apple iPhone released on one of North America's most liked, if not most used, carriers. T-Mobile, as of right now, carries the iPhone.
T-Mobile, the United States' fourth largest mobile carrier, recently revealed its intention to officially carry the Apple iPhone. Since then, PR mode has been in full flow, and as well as already offering one of the best deals around - particularly with the flagship iPhone 5 - T-Mo has now begun a trade-in program hoped to entice consumers into making the switch.
T-Mobile is finally about to carry the iPhone 5 officially, and those eager to get their hands on the device will be pleased to learn that it's now available to pre-order from both T-Mobile and Apple. With the launch scheduled for the 12th of this month, you'll only have to wait a week before receiving the T-Mobile iPhone 5, which will, in time, be fully compatible with the company's fledgling LTE infrastructure.
The wait may soon be over for those wishing to buy an iPhone on T-Mobile in the United States, but what about those already using their iPhones on the big purple carrier? While they’re happily using their devices currently, sans 3G, what about T-Mobile’s fancy new 4G LTE network?
After what seems like an eternity, T-Mobile is finally getting onto the iPhone bandwagon as announced by the company earlier this week. If you can't wait until next month for your T-Mobile iPhone 5, then you're in luck, because thanks to a handy little jailbreak mod, you can get T-Mobile's shiny new LTE hotness on your iPhone 5, right now.
The HTC One may be going head-to-head with the Galaxy S4 for the Android crown, but in terms of design, the device has frequently been compared with Apple's iPhone 5. Just like its Cupertino rival, it's comprised of beautiful aluminum unibody, and the consensus seems to be that the two handsets are the prettiest, on the market. The build quality of the two respective flagships is certainly something to savor, but when it comes to real-world use, how do they fare against the day-to-day trials and tribulations a smartphone may well face? A drop test is always a pretty good measure of a device's durability, and AndroidAuthority has just videoed a head-to-head between the HTC One and iPhone 5. Find out how each coped with the rigorous test, and more importantly, which emerged victorious, after the break!
One of the ongoing battles faced by smartphone and tablet vendors, particularly when attempting to bump the specs up a generation, is maintaining a relatively strong battery life. Squeezing better hardware into the same (or an even smaller) package places an incredible amount of strain on the juice-o-meter, and while the major companies have managed relatively well thus far, there are always those occasions where we wish the battery retention was just a little bit greater. There are plenty of remedial peripherals currently on the market, particularly for Apple's flagship iPhone 5, and in our quest to bring you as many of the latest and greatest gadgets and accessories, we'll today be checking out the NuCharge battery pack and case designed by London-based iKit.
Whether you like a nice, small smartphone or a tablet-like behemoth is very much a personal decision. Some like to have huge 6-inch screens in the palm of their hands, whilst others think that the 4-inch display of pre fifth-generation iPhones is still the sweet spot. People will never agree on which is best, nor should they ever need to.
Most of you will, by now, have seen the prime time release of the Samsung Galaxy S4 on Thursday, and while the early opinions are flying about at will, it's pretty hard to gauge just how the device fares against some of its rivals. The handset is overflowing with high-end features, and trumps pretty much everything else in the specs department, but in a face-to-face, real world comparison, how does Samsung's latest outlet compare with its long-standing adversary, the iPhone? Several publications managed to get their hands on the Galaxy S4, and as well as offering in-depth, hands-on coverage, also briefly considered the presence of the iPhone 5.
With Samsung having finally just announced its latest flagship effort, the Galaxy S4, it’s inevitable that the comparisons will immediately be drawn between it and some of the other high-end handsets currently gracing the market. Although the iPhone 5 naturally springs to mind, a rivaling vendor, HTC, also finally looks to have delivered a respectable contender to market with the One device.
