Working iPhone 5C handled

CTech already published a specs sheet for the iPhone 5S, but it seems the site has also gotten hold of a 15 second video showing the cheaper iPhone 5C (recognized by its colored plastic sides) that shows the device being unlocked, a quick peek at the app launcher and then the browser.
Not that iOS 7 is in any way new – you can read our review here. It is possible that Apple will put some exclusive features that are available only on the new generation of the iPhone. Anyway, here's some footage of an operational iPhone 5C pple's event is scheduled for tomorrow and will certainly bring the iPhone 5S. There's a very good probability that the 5C will appear and only an outside chance that the cheaper smartphone will be China-exclusive (for carriers like China Telecom and China Mobile) and appear at Apple's September 11 event. We'll be covering tomorrow's event when we'll get the definitive truth from Apple itself.

New iPhone expected on Sprint in mid-September

Here's something that got slipped under the door this morning, courtesy of a loyal reader of ours. We're being informed that the iPhone display sections at some Sprint retail stores are to be altered in the coming weeks. Changes include the installation of new counters, which must be in place by September 16.  How is this newsworthy? Well, Sprint outlets do not modify their iPhone displays unless there's a new phone coming, as our tipster notes. Perhaps the changes are being made in preparation of the new iPhones' arrival, which, if true, would mean that the iPhone 5S and/or iPhone 5C may be on Sprint's shelves on or around the aforementioned date.
We must note, however, that iPhones have always been launched in the US on a Friday, while September 16 is a Monday. That's why September 20 seems like a much more likely launch date for the new iPhone models.  All the leaks we've come across so far point at a mid-September launch for the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. The smartphones are expected to be announced on September 10 and then to go on sale soon after, if rumors are to be trusted. But as is the case with all leaks like these, nothing is certain until it comes straight from the horse's mouth.

More photos of gold iPhone 5S leak, box of 128GB version spotted

The rumors that Apple will break its black and white only color scheme for the iPhone 5S are heating up with more and more photos hitting the web. The 128GB option that analysts think will happen with the upcoming iPhone generation became more tangible too, thanks to an alleged photo of the iPhone 5S box.
The Gold (or Champagne) colored iPhone 5S chassis posed next to the Black and White versions. The plastic panels on the top and bottom of the back are missing, but they will probably have a slightly different color like on the other versions. The front is also not shown in the photos. The back of the Apple iPhone 5S box shows a 128GB label and lists some connectivity options – quad-band 3G with DC-HSPA, CDMA and LTE (bands 1/3/5/13/25). The iPhone 4 came with 32GB storage max, the 4S doubled that to 64GB and the iPhone 5 kept it at 64GB, so maybe it really is time for another step up.

New iPhone 5S and 5C photos leak from China

As the anticipated early fall announcement nears, the leaks of the (still rumored) iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S devices from Apple continue to pop up. The latest from China's variant of Twitter - Weibo - shows the two new models next to the iPhone 5. The devices in question are obviously dummy devices without a working display, but it gives us a good idea of their general dimensions.
It's been speculated that the new budget 5C model and the 5S will feature larger displays to appease customer demands, but judging by these images the screen will remain at the same size. Hopefully we'll find out for certain soon enough as less than a month remains until the expected September 10 announcement date. However, it may be longer still until actual device shipment, as some sources say we might see the new devices as late as October.

Front panel and innards of the iPhone 5C leak

Hours after the purported camera module of the cheaper Apple iPhone 5C got snapped, now photos of the phone's display and framing have surfaced. Said parts of the rumored cheaper iPhone 5C have been leaked by a company called Chinese C Technology. It claims that there are minor differences between the iPhone 5 and the device they claim is the affordable iPhone 5C. The inside wiring is one of them, in addition to the all-plastic build.
We've already seen the plastic casing of the iPhone 5C on video as well as the different color variations that allegedly Apple is going to launch it in. Naturally, if you've been following the topic, you've also seen a lot more leaks regarding the low-cost Apple smartphone, as well as renders showing how it would look like based on the information available. Naturally, there is no official confirmation from Apple just yet. Even worse, Apple has repeatedly denied that it's working on a more affordable iPhone, so you'll have to judge for yourself whether the leaks and reports are to be believed.

With low-cost Apple iPhone 5C in the works, Apple iPhone 4 still sells well globally

A picture showing a number of plastic packaging containers with the name iPhone 5C printed on the side has everyone thinking that they have found the actual name of the low-cost version of the iPhone. For some time now, the device was dubbed the Apple iPhone Lite. Whatever the model is called, it is expected to be sent into emerging markets as an attempt to pry business away from entry-level handsets like the Nokia Lumia 520. But it is not like Apple doesn't have a model now that competes in that niche. The Apple iPhone 4, first launched in 2010, is currently considered the entry-level model of Apple's smartphone line and according to the Wall Street Journal, is still selling quite well.
According to analysts, the Apple iPhone 4 played a huge part in the larger than expected 31.2 million iPhones that were sold during Apple's fiscal third quarter. Wall Street had been looking for Apple to report sales of 26.5 million units. Apple did acknowledge that the Apple iPhone 5 was its best seller, which you would expect. But the Cupertino based tech titan did agree with Wall Street that iPhone 4 sales played a big role in the reported sales figures. Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a conference call following Apple's earnings announcement last week, that the company wants the iPhone 4 to act like a magnet to attract first time smartphone users. "We want to attract as many of these buyers as we can," said the executive.
Apple has started to push out the Apple iPhone 4 to countries like India. Between April and June, Apple shipped out 205,000 units of its iconic smartphone to the country which was up nearly 300% from last year and 41% sequentially. According to Cook, "India was up over 400%." Apple also started a promotion in India that allows users of another smartphone to trade it in to Apple and get as much as a 7000 Rupee ($117 USD) discount on the purchase of an Apple iPhone 4.
In the U.S., the Apple iPhone 4 is free with a signed two-year contract. But the new Apple iPhone 5C, if indeed that is what the low-priced phone will be called, should replace that model with the Apple iPhone 5 becoming the new mid-range offering. The Apple iPhone 5S or Apple iPhone 6 will be the new premium smartphone produced by the manufacturer.
