iPhone 5C Back Housing Caught On Video

Over the past couple of days we have seen photos of the iPhone 5C leaked. We’ve seen its components and photos of the device in its entirety, and if you’re wondering just how the iPhone 5C holds up against its siblings, past and present, Sonny Dickson, who has been responsible for the earlier photos, has uploaded a video in which a yellow iPhone 5C is compared against the likes of older iPhones. This includes the first iPhone, the iPhone 3G/3GS, iPhone 4/4S, and the iPhone 5. Of course the iPhone 5C in the video is not the actual product, but rather the back housing of the device, but it still gives us a pretty good idea of what to expect anyway.

Based on the video, we can see that the iPhone 5C is almost similar in size to the iPhone 5, possibly due to similar dimensions albeit slightly thicker due to its plastic body, but other than that the video seems to corroborate all the rumors and leaks we’ve seen so far. In any case Apple is expected to announce the device come the 10th of September, so we’ll definitely keep our eyes peeled. For those looking forward to official information, assuming the 10th of September is to be believed, we won’t have to wait much longer to see if it pans out!

    This Could Be a Yellow iPhone 5c Next to an iPhone 5

    Apple’s Low Cost iPhone Might Not Come With Siri

    Apples Low Cost iPhone Might Not Come With Siri

    Apple is rumored to release two new iPhones next month, apart from the next generation iPhone, the company is also expected to unveil its first ever budget or low cost iPhone. Many monikers are being thrown around, this device is widely known as the iPhone 5C or the iPhone Lite. The moniker doesn’t matter that much, what most people are intrigued about are the specifications. It appears that there is a possibility of Apple’s low cost iPhone not having all of the features one can find in a full fledged iPhone, analyst Gene Munster at Piper Jaffray believes that Siri won’t be present on the budget iPhone.

    Munster also says that Apple is likely to price this smartphone around $300. He mentions the possibility that instead of offering iPhone 4S free on contract, Apple would replace it with the budget iPhone, which will be sold for a fixed price and won’t require customers to take up a two year contract with a carrier. No concrete reason has been provided as to why Apple would willingly not provide Siri in the budget iPhone, not to mention the fact that the fifth generation iPod touch already offers it. Could this be a move to safeguard consumer interest for the full fledged iPhone, those who want Siri have to dish out a few hundred dollars more? It can’t be said for sure. Hopefully the official details will be unveiled soon, as per recent rumors, Apple might make an iPhone related announcement on September 10th.

    Purported iPhone 5C Mute Switch And Volume Rocker Spotted In New Photos

    Purported iPhone 5C Mute Switch And Volume Rocker Spotted In New PhotosEarlier we reported that photos of the iPhone 5C were leaked, showing the phone in all of its glory, and thanks to Sonny Dickson, the same blogger who leaked the earlier photos, he has posted several more photos of the iPhone 5C, although in this case it would be components of the handset, in particular that of the volume rocker and mute switch. These images are not exactly very surprising given that we have seen leaked photos in the past, but we guess that they do corroborate the earlier leaks, and in this case their colors also appear to be a bit more subdued, compared to previously where they were shown to be more bright and to a certain extent, cheap.

    The volume rocker is different from the iPhone 5 in the sense that it sports a pill-like design which is similar to that of the iPhone 3GS, although to be honest this is not a bad thing as they are admittedly easier to press. The iPhone 5C is expected to be announced alongside the iPhone 5S on the 10th of September and will be the low-cost alternative for customers who might not be able to otherwise afford the regular iPhone.

    iPhone 5C Leaked In High-Res Photos

    iPhone 5C Leaked In High Res PhotosCome 10th of September, we expect Apple will introduce at least two new devices – the iPhone 5S, and the iPhone 5C. We’re sure most of you guys know that the iPhone 5S will be the successor to the iPhone 5 and could feature upgraded specs and maybe even a fingerprint sensor, but the iPhone 5C will be a low-cost alternative to the higher-end iPhone. We’ve seen the iPhone 5C pop up many times in leaked photos in the past, and now Sonny Dickson has posted an entire gallery worth of high-resolution shots of the alleged device.

    Unsurprisingly the photos show a phone which is similar to what we have encountered in the past, although this time we are looking at the iPhone 5C in a green finish. The leaked photos don’t really tell us anything new about the device that we did not already know, although the specifications of the iPhone 5C remain unknown at this point in time. In any case hit up Sonny Dickson’s website for the rest of the photos, but also remember to take it with a grain of salt for now, and hopefully come 10th September all will be revealed.

    Apple’s September 10 Event Date For Next iPhone Gets A Strong, If Unofficial Confirmation

    plastic-iphone

    If you’re in the habit of scheduling time off for key Apple product unveilings, it’s pretty safe to book September 10. The date was floated this weekend by AllThingsD for a press event and official unveiling, and now The Loop’s Jim Dalrymple has confirmed that date. Dalrymple, apart from being the father to an amazing beard, is also maybe the single-best informed outside source regarding Apple’s product event plans.

    The date for the event will put it on a Tuesday just at the start of September, as AllThingsD reported. ATD itself is a pretty solid source, so there was little doubt that would be the day, but Dalrymple’s confirmation essentially makes things official – without, you know, actually making them official.

    We’ll probably see the iPhone 5S at this event, which by all reports would look a lot like the iPhone 5 but might pack some improvements including a faster processor, a dual LED flash and a better camera, to name a few. We may even see an iPhone 5C released at the same time, which is the rumored name for a low-cost iPhone with a plastic back and essentially iPhone 5 internals. Remember too that Apple will likely launch iOS 7 officially at or shortly after the September 10 event.

    Asymco’s Horace Dediu also has an interesting post positing pricing on an iPhone 5C, should we see one. He suspects we’ll see pricing in line with the iPad 2 and iPad mini, compared to the current generation iPad – that puts them at around the $450 to $500 range unlocked, which is definitely much more affordable than the current full price of iPhone 5 devices. Looks like we won’t have long to find out, providing Apple really does announce both next-generation devices at the same time.

    iPhone 5S And iPhone 5C Names Seemingly “Confirmed”

    iPhone 5S And iPhone 5C Names Seemingly ConfirmedCome 10th of September, Apple is rumored to hold an event in which the company will announce their new iPhone models. Since nothing is official at the moment, no one knows what the new iPhone models will be called, although many are speculating that the iPhone 5S will be one of them, given Apple’s trend of naming their phones in the past. Japanese website Macotakara has “confirmed” that the successor to the iPhone 5 will indeed be called the iPhone 5S, and they are also “confirming” that Apple’s low-cost iPhone will be known as the iPhone 5C whose name was hinted at in leaked packaging designs.

    While the iPhone 5S moniker seems to be a given, there are probably some who might not think that this is the case, especially since Apple went with the “new” iPad moniker for the 3rd gen iPad, rather than iPad 3 which was what many had initially predicted. As for the iPhone 5C, that’s pretty much up in the air, with some speculating that the “C” initial could stand for “color” in the sense that the phone could come in a variety of colors apart from the usual black or white options. In any case take it with a grain of salt for now, but with the rumored 10th of September announcement being a little less than a month away, we guess we won’t have to wait too long to see if the rumors pan out!

    Alleged iPhone 5C Case Spotted In Red

    Alleged iPhone 5C Case Spotted In RedEarlier this evening, we did mention about how an alleged iPhone 5C shell could be picked up for just $16 in where else, but China. The thing is, the many different color schemes of what Apple is allegedly doing to their iPhone family does seem to be an interesting experiment if it all turns out to be true, but do you think that it will be able to resonate with the masses who have been so used to the usual black and white colors all this while? Well, one of the latest leaks concerning an alleged iPhone 5C case includes a red colored version of the smartphone, and there is no way to confirm whether what your eyes see above is the real deal or not, so do take it with a rather large pinch of salt.

    However, should the rumors end up as the truth, then the world can look forward to the Apple iPhone 5C which will arrive in red, yellow, green, blue, and white shades. Not only that, there are some whispers going around that tout the pricing details of the iPhone 5C, citing a price point which resides somewhere in the region of $490. Filtering out rumors from truth can be quite tricky these days, with the kind of technology available to doctor images and what not.

    Alleged iPhone 5C Shell Can Be Bought In China For $16

    Alleged iPhone 5C Shell Can Be Bought In China For $16Over the past couple of days and weeks, we’ve seen various leaks of the upcoming Apple iPhone 5C, Apple’s rumored low-cost iPhone. So far all the leaks have been pretty consistent and shows off a device which upon first glance shares similar dimensions as the iPhone 5, but the main difference would be that instead of an aluminum body, it will feature a plastic body that we assume helped keep costs down. Well as it turns out if you wanted to own the shell of the alleged iPhone 5C, you can for $16! Yup it looks like over in China, the empty shell of the iPhone 5C has made its way onto Taobao, the China equivalent of eBay.

    The device appears to be fully assembled, but it should be noted that it is actually hollowed and stuffed with yellow cardboard, so you will not be actually getting the working phone, but if you want to show off to your friends that you have an iPhone 5C component, this could do the trick. The shell shows the FCC logo and various legal/regulatory markings which adds a touch of authenticity since we have no way of confirming if this is the real deal, but for $16 it doesn’t seem like too bad a deal, does it?
