Prior to the official unveiling of a new gadget, particularly one bearing the famous bitten apple logo, case and accessory makers like to get ahead of the game by preparing and releasing cases early on in the day. However, until the official announcement has passed and the company behind said gadget has released the schematics, one can never be sure of the device's precise measurements. Today, Apple has released the schematics of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c, so if you are a maker of cases or perhaps just intrigued by the intricacies of a device's construction, then you can check out all of the details after the leap.
Apple finally introduced the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c last week, and with just a couple of days to go before the big launch, fans of the device are currently weighing up their options. It would seem, at least for the time being, as though consumers are drawn to the flagship iPhone 5s, and with a bunch of new features including iPhone 5s Touch ID, it's not hard to see why many have overlooked the colorful, budget iPhone 5c. Although some may see a fingerprint sensor as a bit of a gimmick, it's an intriguing feature to say the least, and in order to familiarize prospective buyers with the new implementation, Apple will be showing it off in its iconic retail stores using a demo app.
Deep down in our hearts we all knew that the iPhone 5s would launch with some kind of fingerprint scanning capabilities. We'd heard the rumors months before the actual event. We knew it was coming yet many of us still raised an eyebrow when Phil Schiller actually made it official on stage during the Cupertino based event. The inclusion of the technology definitely raises a number of security based questions, but thankfully, it is a lot more advanced.
For some reason Apple took the decision to not allow pre-orders of the new iPhone 5s. The Cupertino company don't seem to have explained that decision in any great detail, but at least we don't have long to wait until the device is officially available for purchase. In the past, the company has often changed the time on which they begin to sell their new iPhone and iPad hardware, but it has today been confirmed that orders of the iPhone 5s will begin online at 12:01am Pacific Time, on September 20th.
The world may be waiting for September 20th before it can get its collective hands on Apple's new flagship phone, but the folks at Burberry are getting early access to the iPhone 5s, with the clothing and accessory maker set to use the new handset for a fashion show on September 16th.
Specific feature sets of announced smartphones will always be extremely polarizing and appeal to one user while managing to entirely bore another. What we all care about is price. How much cash we will have to part with to have that device in our lives. Apple has done a pretty great job of keeping the cost of the new iPhones down, but if that isn't enough for some, then Walmart will be offering a discount on the devices when they eventually go public.
Just days after Apple did something we didn't expect to see quite so soon - announce a 64-bit smartphone - it seems that the competition is already trying to scramble to catch up after Samsung confirmed that it, too, is set to bring its own 64-bit smartphone to market.
When Apple introduced the iPhone 5s at Tuesday's Cupertino event it didn't come as any surprise that the new hardware included biometric detection embedded within the home button. The inclusion of this technology, officially called Touch ID, had long been speculated about before Tim Cook took to the stage and had also been all but confirmed by the discovery of biometric framework logs in a teardown of iOS 7. iPhone 5s Touch ID is definitely a polarizing feature but Apple has now released some additional information regarding the technology that should answer a few questions.
iPhone 5s has been announced, and while the keynote confirmed a lot of the rumors and leaks that had been circling the blogosphere for weeks now, it’s time to move on to the real world experience of the shiny new hardware (in a multitude of colors other than the traditional black and white) from the fruit company. Although it will take some time for extensive user experience feedback to develop (not really until the device actually starts shipping), initial benchmarks show that the graphic processing is actually blazing fast, blowing away the iPhone 5 by almost double the margin. Go figure!
So, the iPhone 5s and 5c have finally been revealed after months of speculation, and with the latter available to pre-order in just a couple of days, Apple fans have a bit of a decision to make. The iPhone 5s has certainly pushed the boundaries with a plethora of new features, but while the iPhone 5c may be distinctly similar in terms of hardware to the iPhone 5, its funky design and range of color options will surely render it a hit among consumers. But which will you choose?
