There's nothing worse than having your expensive iPhone or iPad break except possibly having it break because you've done something to it. Whether you've dropped your iPad and broken the screen or managed to take your iPhone for a swim, accidental damage is often something that follows people around, and can prove to be an expensive mistake.
Apple has finally announced the iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s, two smartphones that have immediately confirmed the demise of the iPhone 5. In an event that also saw the iWork and iLife suite for iOS go free of charge on newer devices, there was plenty going on, and now, you can watch the keynote online in its entirety.
So, as predicted, the iPhone 5 is no more, and the iPhone 4s remains in the roster among the new iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c. To help prospective shoppers out, Apple has thrown up a comparison chart of the three models, and since we're scarcely acquainted with the iPhone 5s or 5c ourselves, we'll gather a better view on how they stand up against each other.
Apple’s iPhone event managed to deliver pretty much everything we expected, with the addition of a few minor curveballs. The much-speculated iPhone 5c and 5s were introduced to a small but excited crowd, but rather than announcing a price decrease of the current generation iPhone 5, Apple has instead decided to kill off the phone altogether.
With the newly announced iPhones, consumers will be looking to find suitable protective cases and covers in order to keep their new or prospective purchases in pristine condition. The aluminum finish of the iPhone 5s will, if anything like the iPhone 5, be susceptible to scratches and scrapes, and even though the iPhone 5c is a budget device, a sufficient, sturdy case should still be a priority. A couple have already begun to pop up on Apple's official site, and we'll be taking a look at some of them right after the break.
The next generation iPhone 5s with a 64-bit A7 chip, and its sibling, the iPhone 5c, were finally announced today, living up to all the previous hype and rumor that surrounded both these marvelous devices. Along with a new device, what’s always anticipated is a new accessory, and while the one that we’re showing off is nothing new, it’s a revival of something that was already there but was taken down for some reason. You can now get Apple’s very own Lightning docks for the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c, being sold through the Apple Store.
Ah, finally.. finally, the iPhone 5s, Apple's latest and greatest flagship smartphone has been revealed to the world. And we’ve got all the details under one roof!
Will Apple innovate or simply produce hardware that focuses more on evolution? Today is the day all will be revealed as Apple walks us through the year ahead, live from Cupertino.
As the hours tick down towards the big September 10th iPhone event, which will play host to the introduction of new wares from Apple, the final preparations are being put into place as the fruit company readies itself for an influx of journalists and other hangers-on.
The iPhone 5S is expected to pack a plethora of interesting features, but in a real change from tradition, it looks as though Apple has decided to introduce a gold, or champagne color configuration. Naturally, not everybody has been impressed by this decision, and the stereotypes thrown up by prospective owners of a gold smartphone are almost perfectly encompassed by a new mock ad, released after the iPhone 5S announcement parody. The short clip involves, for lack of a more apt phrase, a douchebag, who proceeds to strut around town wielding his shiny new gold iPhone. Check it out after the break!
