The Smartphone war continues with Samsung and HTC battling it off to lead the tech industry but where has Apple gone? Compared to the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Xperia Z, the iPhone truly looks pathetically outdated. According to insiders, thats all going to change soon as Apple prepares for combat with not one, but two new smart phones. The smart phones will be the premium Apple iPhone 5S which will be an upgrade of the iPhone 5 running iOS 7 and available in a few other colours. The 5C is the much awaited "Budget" iPhone but knowing Apple, it wont be very cheap. We can probably expect the 5C to launch at $599. If priced right, the 5C will expand the Apple user base but knowing Apple, this isn't going to be the Smartphone of the year. The 5C is also expected to come in some amazing new colours like the iPod Touch came in.5C (Rumors) in Pictures.
The Apple iPhone 5C (middle) with iPhone 5 on the top and bottom. We get a side view of the 5C.
The alleged consumer packaging of the iPhone 5C featuring the thinner font we saw in iOS7 as well as a plastic shell box to match the plastic exterior of the 5C.
The back casing of the iPhone 5C. The 5C has a 5MP rear-facing camera and a standard flash besides it. We also see a black Apple logo that we have seen recently on the newest Time Capsule and Airport, this is an update of the Apple logo with the mirror effect on previous iDevices. Once again we see the iOS 7 inspired font and an overall smooth plastic design which is oddly similar to the iPhone 3GS!
What I want to see in the iPhone 5C
As a mid-range device, i'd expect mid-range specs. I want to see specs that truly rival the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini.
- A upgraded display with no less than 300 ppi.
- Solid and sturdy build quality
- A 5MP Camera
- Availability in trendy colours
- A 4 inch Screen
- Apple's A7 Processor.
- All Day battery Life
More Colours means consumers need to prepare themselves for waiting lists.
If you thought the availability of iPhones were bad, they are about to get much worst! In the past people have waited on endless waiting lists for the coveted iPhone to arrive and even after its arrival, the waiting lists seem to continue for months! So if you are eager on getting your hands on the iPhone 5S or 5C, you are going to have to wait longer than usual (which says a lot.) Naturally, when manufacturers make multiple variants of a product then it becomes harder to get your exact option. Long story short - The popular colours (like White) will be constantly sold out leaving the not so popular colours like yellow and green. So unless you like those colours, be prepared to wait...
5S (Rumors) in Pictures.
The various colour options on the iPhone 5S. The iPhone 5S will probably keep with the basic design of the iPhone 5. We will probably see minor spec upgrades to the camera and the screen. The iPhone 5S will probably have a bigger 4.5 or even 5"inch screen and support for iOS7.
This picture shows a leaked picture of the iPhone 5S in all of its glory. We will probably see this device in more premium colours (like gold, silver and champagne) than found on the vibrant 5C.
This picture shows the iPhone 5S 's pop out Sim card tray. It supports Nano-SIMS just like the iPhone 5. This picture gives us an idea of the exterior colours available on the iPhone 5S. We see a dark charcoal colour on the left and a champagne colour on the right.
