In the past we’ve seen leaked photos of Apple’s upcoming iPhone 5C, the Cupertino company’s alleged low-cost iPhone, but the photos we’ve seen were only the shells of the device which in all honesty could have been made by just about anyone. However thanks to a new video which has made its way online, we are now able to take a look at what appears to be a blue iPhone 5C with its power on and what appears to be iOS 7 running on the device.

It was just last week that a similar, albeit lower-quality video, surfaced, but there were some who were a bit skeptical about the device in the video. This particular video is a lot clearer and it walks us through some of the features and gestures that we can expect from iOS 7. The video runs for only about 15 seconds so there’s really not much to see, but for those who are curious, you can check it out in the video above. In any case what do you guys think? Like what you see so far of the iPhone 5C?  We’re only hours away from Apple making the official announcement, so we guess we won’t have to wait too long to see if all the leaks and rumors have panned out.

Apple is going to take the stage tomorrow and unveil what it is expected to, two new iPhones. The iPhone 5S is going to be the successor to iPhone 5, Apple’s existing flagship smartphone. For the first time ever, the company is expected to launch a second iPhone alongside the flagship model. It is called the iPhone 5C, a budget smartphone similar to iPhone 5 and fashioned out of plastic to keep costs down. Cost will be a major factor on which the success and failure of this smartphone will depend upon, an analyst believes that the low cost might encourage customers to pay upfront instead of opting for a two year contract.

T-Mobile launches its Uncarrier initiative earlier this year, it doesn’t require customers to sign a two year contract now in order to receive a subsidy on a mobile device. Roger Entner, an analyst at Recon Analytics, believes that with iPhone 5C, Magenta is “in the right place at the right time with the right product.” Entner predicts that the budget iPhone could make a big difference for T-Mobile. However, since it has dropped contract plans, customers have the option of bringing their own device to the network. A factory unlocked iPhone 5 costs $649.99, the iPhone 5S might retain this price point. Most people opt for carrier contracts because they’d prefer a subsidy on this amount, so while T-Mobile’s contract free plans might be attractive for budget iPhone owners, people who opt for the flagship model just might stick with contracts.

Apple might be less than two days away from unveiling its brand new iPhones, that doesn’t mean the leaks and rumors are going to stop. Earlier today we picked up on a purported iPhone 5S box that hints at the possibility of it having a fingerprint scanner. Apple is also expected to unveil the iPhone 5C this year, its first ever budget smartphone. The alleged logic board of iPhone 5C has leaked online, it sports minor changes as opposed to the iPhone 5 logic board. iPhone 5C’s internals are expected to be quite similar to the existing iPhone.

Since much of the logic board pictured here is covered by protective EMI cover, the internal circuitry is almost completely hidden. The accelerometer is thought to be repositioned or hidden beneath five connection points used for the speakers, microphone, display and other components. The area where the chip is located on iPhone 5 is said to be identical on this purported iPhone 5C logic board, this isn’t much of a surprise, since Apple is expected to go with the same processor so as to reduce build cost. Apart from these subtle tweaks, not much can be gathered about the upcoming budget iPhone from this part. The new iPhones are expected to be released on September 20th after the announcement on September 10th. [Image via Weibo]

Apple’s iPhones have typically sold well, and with every new release, it manages to break the record of its predecessor in the number of phones sold over the weekend. So with the upcoming iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C, with two new models, will Apple sell even more units than before? One analyst seems to think that within a 10 day span, Apple could go on to sell a whopping 10 million iPhone units, meaning that the Cupertino company is expected to sell at least 1 million units on a daily basis! The 10 day period was given as the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C are expected to see an initial release on the 20^th of September, and with the 30^th of September being when Apple’s financial quarter ends.

According to the analyst, Andy Hargreaves of Pacific Crest, “We expect Apple to launch two new iPhones at its Sept. 10 event, an iPhone 5S and an iPhone 5C, which we believe is essentially an iPhone 5 with a different case. We expect these refreshes, along with the potential for incremental distribution of the iPhone, to drive improved unit volume, stabilized gross margin and accelerating operating profit in the coming quarters.” At the end of the day, Hargreaves expects Apple to sell 31 million iPhone units this quarter, which would be an impressive figure. What do you guys think?
