iPhone 5S Moniker ‘Confirmed’ On Japanese Carrier’s Website

iPhone 5S Moniker Confirmed On Japanese Carriers Website

There have been a lot of rumors about Apple’s upcoming smartphones. Even if the company doesn’t announce the much rumored budget iPhone, it is definitely going to launch the successor to the iPhone 5. Ever since it released iPhone 3GS after the iPhone 3G, the company has released a smartphone with minor changes and the “S” label every other year. Since it launched the iPhone 5 last year, there has been a lot of speculation that the upcoming smartphone will be called iPhone 5S. The moniker for Apple’s upcoming smartphone has apparently been “confirmed” by Japanese carrier KDDI. It was found hiding in plain sight inside the source code of the carrier’s official website.

KDDI has since removed it, but screenshots have already circulated online. It wouldn’t be impossible to believe that the carrier is getting the website ready in time for the impending launch. This slip-us doesn’t reveal anything significant about the device after all, considering that it has always been widely believed that the iPhone Apple will release this year will be called iPhone 5S. The company is rumored to hold an event on September 10th where it will formally announce both the iPhone 5S as well as the iPhone 5C. [Image via BGR]

    AT&T Employee Vacation Blackouts Corroborates iPhone Release Date

    AT&T Employee Vacation Blackouts Corroborates iPhone Release DateApple has yet to formally announce an event in which they will be launching the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C. We have heard the 10th of September could be a possible date, and that we might even see either device launch on the 20th. Previously we had also reported that T-Mobile had reportedly blacked out the 20th-22nd of September, preventing employees from taking leave presumably to deal with the onslaught of customers coming in to purchase the phone, and now it looks like AT&T has done something similar as well, blocking out the dates, thus further fueling speculation that the 20th of September could be when the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C are released.

    According to the report, AT&T has no plans to launch other “high profile devices”, suggesting that this blackout of dates could indeed be for the iPhones. If the 10th of September launch date is true, the 20th of September release does not come as a surprise. Apple typically launches their products about a week after it has been announced as they have done so in the past, so there is no reason to believe otherwise. In any case hopefully Apple will start sending out the invites to their 10th of September event soon in which the phones’ release date can also be confirmed.

    T-Mobile Blocks Employee Vacations For 20th September Possibly Due To iPhone Release

    T Mobile Blocks Employee Vacations For 20th September Possibly Due To iPhone ReleaseOn the 10th of September, it has been rumored that Apple will be holding an event of their own in which they will announce both the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. Assuming that is true, when can we expect either device to be released to the masses? Apple has typically been pretty efficient when it comes to release dates, usually releasing a couple of weeks from the announcement, and sometimes on the day itself. We had previously heard that the 20th of September is a possible release date and it seems that the date could be true.

    This is according to TmoNews who is reporting that T-Mobile stores in the US are blacking out Friday, the 20thof September, until the 22nd of September (Sunday) to prevent employees from taking vacations. Presumably this is to ensure that the carrier will have enough staff on hand to handle incoming customers who might be looking to get their hands on the new iPhones. Of course since Apple has yet to announce anything official yet, do take it with a grain of salt for now, but if you’re looking to pick up either device, perhaps the 20th of September could be a date worth marking down on your calendar.

    Apple Reportedly Launching New iPads As Well On September 10th

    Apple Reportedly Launching New iPads As Well On September 10th

    A few weeks ago it was rumored that Apple will host an event on September 10th to launch its new iPhones. Since then there has been no conflicting report, so it is widely believed right now that the company’s iPhone announcement will take place next month on the aforementioned date. As far as the iPads are concerned, Apple is rumored to release the iPad 5 and iPad mini 2 later this year, possibly around the holiday season. However, if a new Bloomberg report is to be believed, the company might unveil the new tablets alongside the new iPhones on September 10th.

    Apple is expected to launch two iPhones this year, the iPhone 5S and its much rumored budget smartphone, the iPhone 5C. It hasn’t confirmed release plans as yet, it hasn’t even rolled out invites for an event. The Bloomberg report actually focuses about Apple planning to open its first retail store in Tokyo since 2005, but as you read on, you’ll find that it says “The Cupertino, California-based company plans to introduce new versions of its phone and tablet at a Sept. 10 event,” citing a person familiar with the matter, as always. This report also claims that Apple has promised “several more game changers” as it looks to fend off competition from Samsung. The Korean giant is going to release its smartwatch on September 4th. Is this an indication of Apple launching its hotly anticipated iWatch in the future? One can’t say for sure, so lets just wait and see what happens.

    Champagne/Gold iPhone 5S And iPhone 5C Caught On Video

    While Apple might have been pretty good at keeping a lid on their leaks in the past, safe to say that the upcoming iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C are probably the Cupertino company’s worst-kept secrets to date. Unless Apple plans to completely surprise us at their 10th of September event, it’s safe to say that we all pretty much know what the upcoming devices will look like, and thanks to a new video, an extensive walkthrough of the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S can be seen.

    The video basically shows off the casings of the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C, confirming that the iPhone 5S will indeed come in a champagne/gold option, while the iPhone 5C is pictured in blue which we’ve seen in the past. The video also gives us a look at the casings from a variety of different angles, although to be honest they are pretty much what we’ve come to expect so far. The iPhone 5S is similar to the iPhone 5 in terms of design, and if the rumors are true, will be offered in more color options along with upgraded hardware. The iPhone 5C will be a low-cost alternative and while its dimensions are almost similar to the iPhone 5, it will come in a plastic finish that will make the device a little thicker.

    In any case if you have a few minutes to spare, you can check out the video above to see the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C in all of its glory.

    Alleged iPhone 5C Specifications Leaked

    Alleged iPhone 5C Specifications LeakedThe iPhone 5S might be the next flagship smartphone, but this does not mean that there will be no other smartphones from Apple in the pipeline – including the budget oriented iPhone 5C. Plenty of information has been leaked concerning the iPhone 5S, but how much do we know about the iPhone 5C? Apparently, an alleged list of hardware specifications concerning the pocket friendly iPhone 5C has leaked out, although you would do well to bear in mind that what you read here should be taken with a pinch of salt – a really large pinch, too.

    So far, the rumored (but most concrete to date) hardware specifications concerning the iPhone 5C would be an unknown dual-core chipset, a 4” display at 1,136 x 640 resolution, 1GB RAM, a choice of 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of internal memory, an 8-megapixel shooter at the back with a 1.2-megapixel camera in front, all crammed into a chassis that measures 124.2mm x 58.4mm x 7.6mm, which tips the scales at 106 grams. It will be powered by iOS 7 with Siri, boasting of support for English, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Italian and Spanish languages. As to the veracity of this particular leaked list, we would not need to wait much too long for the real deal to hit the market, no?

    iPhone 5C Video Shows Off Purported Shell In Five Colors

    There have already been a lot of rumors about the iPhone 5C, Apple’s much rumored low cost iPhone. The company is expected to unveil this device next month though Apple is yet to confirm its iPhone plans. Previous rumors suggest that iPhone 5C will be offered in multiple colors, five is believed to be the magic number. A new video has been posted on YouTube which shows off all five colors in which the smartphone is expected to be released. The shells or casings seen in this video are identical to the ones that have already been seen time and time again.

    White, blue, green, yellow and red are the five colors which are expected to adorn Apple’s newest smartphone. Recently a similar casing was pictured in black, leading many to believe that iPhone 5C will be available in a total of six colors. Various analysts are of the view that the black casing was a fake, and that the smartphone will only be available in these five colors. Nothing has been confirmed as of now, not the colors and not even the moniker. Even if Apple does unveil the low cost iPhone next month, there’s a possibility that it might not call it the iPhone 5C.

    iPhone 5C Allegedly Pictured During Testing

    iPhone 5C Allegedly Pictured During Testing

    Over the past couple of months we’ve heard a lot of rumors about the possibility that Apple might release two new iPhones at the same time, something that it has never done before. These two new smartphones are widely known as the iPhone 5S, the upgrade to iPhone 5, and the iPhone 5C, which is the much rumored low cost iPhone that the company has supposedly been working on for quite some time. We’ve already seen casings, parts and components of both devices leak. Now a new image has surfaced which allegedly shows off a score of iPhone 5C units being tested near the assembly line.

    The picture was initially posted on Sina Weibo, which is China’s version of Twitter. Weibo is actually the initial source for quite a lot of rumors that originate from China or the Far East in general. These iPhone 5C units are apparently being tested for general operation and capacity, though there’s obviously no way to confirm that. For all we know these could be knock-offs based on all of the rumors about Apple’s low cost iPhone that have been circulating over the last few months. The company is expected to make an announcement on September 10th, though it is yet to confirm that. [Image via NoWhereElse]

    iPhone 5S And iPhone 5C Caught On Camera Side-By-Side

    iPhone 5S And iPhone 5C Caught On Camera Side By SideOver the past couple of weeks and months, we’ve seen photos of Apple’s alleged upcoming devices, the iPhone 5S (the successor to the iPhone 5) and the iPhone 5C (the low-cost alternative). However thanks to blogger Sonny Dickson, they have managed to get their hands on a handful of new photos of the alleged devices, and this time even comparing them against one another as you can see in the image above. The images obtained by Sonny Dickson more or less corroborate what we have been hearing and seeing the past few months, and in some of the photos it seems that the iPhone 5S pictured even looks like it has a champagne finish (at least from some angles) which according to rumors, would be one of the available finishes.

    The iPhone 5C as we can see in the image above is still the same blue finish that we had seen previously, so no surprises there, but it is also expected to be one of the many color choices that customers can choose from. Apple is expected to announce both the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C on the 10th of September with a possible release date pegged for the 20th of September for some regions, but until then do take it with a grain of salt for now.
