After a false start, the Apple invites are officially out. The new iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C are going to be announced Sept. 10th, as expected. And at least one of them is going to be the rainbow bounty we’d been hoping for.

The next iPhone will be (presumably) unveiled on September 10th, as hinted at on the Apple-delivered invite that you see above. When the curtains pull back, it’ll be nearly a year to the day since the iPhone 5 was ushered into reality, and it’ll no doubt be a monumentally important day for the company. Particularly compared to the barrage of products Apple introduced in 2012 — iPad mini, iPhone 5, the MacBook Pro with Retina display, enhanced MacBook Air / iMac / Mac mini lines, a redesigned iPod nano, a revised iPad / iPod touch / Apple TV, ad OS X Mountain Lion — 2013 has been eerily quiet. Outside of a tweaked iPhone 5 for T-Mobile’s network, a Haswell-infused MacBook Air and a tease of the next-generation Mac Pro, we’ve been left with little more than hopes for newly-inspired versions of iOS and OS X.
That changes on the 10th of September, as at the very least, we’re expecting a next-gen iPhone to hit the stage. We’ll also be holding out hope for an oh-so-colorful lower-end iPhone 5C for emerging markets — markets where Android and even Windows Phone are the platforms of choice for communities making the move into the smartphone era. We wouldn’t put it past Apple to also revise its iPad line while it’s at it, and naturally, iOS 7 should be just about primed for release to the masses. As you’d expect, we’ll be on hand in Cupertino in order to liveblog every second of the action, and we’d invite you to cast your best guesses on what’s to come in comments below.

Apple has just sent out invites for a September 10 special event focusing on iPhone. The event is set to take place at 10 AM PT on the 10th at the Apple Campus in Cupertino, according to the invite, which will probably come as no surprise to those who watch the company and the rumors surrounding its impending product launches.
Apple is said to be unveiling multiple devices on the day, including a lower-cost iPhone “5C” as it’s been dubbed in the press, as well a more expensive iPhone 5 successor, possibly called the iPhone 5S. The 5S is supposed to have an improved camera, as well as improved internals and a new gold color option, while the iPhone 5C will reportedly feature a plastic backing with internals essentially unchanged from the iPhone 5. The invite features the phrase “This should brighten everyone’s day,” along with a graphic depiction of multi-colored dots, which suggest leaks of iPhone hardware with different color casings are on the money at least.
A lot of attention will be on what Apple reveals at this event, not only because it could mark the first time Apple announces more than one new iPhone model launching at or around the same time. There’s also iOS 7, Apple’s first major visual overhaul of its mobile OS, which is due to arrive likely around the same time as the iPhone ships. That’s probably going to happen on or before Sept. 20 or thereabouts, if early reports prove accurate.
Other highlights of the show will likely include more details about iTunes Radio, which should launch to US users at least along with iOS 7. But hardware will probably be the star of the show, as the world tunes in to see what Apple plans to do to increase the global reach of its smartphone devices, extending it to markets that previously might have felt the pricing pinch with Apple’s decidedly premium approach to mobile thus far.
We’ll be in attendance at the event live, bringing you all the latest on Apple’s brand new smartphone plans for 2013.

iPhone 5C Promotional Image Leaked
Posted in: Today's Chili
We’ve been hearing a lot of news regarding both the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C over the past couple of weeks. We recently caught the iPhone 5C in what looks to be its packaging for when it hits a retailer near you as well as a hands-on video showing off the device as well as some of its features. Today, we’re seeing another iPhone 5C leak, and this time it’s from none other than @evleaks. (more…)

Apple Will Announce the Next iPhone(s) on Sept 10th (Update: HOLD THAT THOUGHT)
Posted in: Today's Chili
It’s official a big misunderstanding. The iPhone 5S and the budget iPhone 5C will will probably still, but not officially yet make their debut on Sept. 10th. The invites are aren’t mailed, the drapery is is not being frilled, the hip-but-not-too-hip soundtrack is actually probably is being prepped. Here we go again.

iPhone 5C Packaging Leaked
Posted in: Today's Chili
Much has been said (and of course, subsequently leaked) about the upcoming iPhone 5C, where a purported reference card was reportedly leaked yesterday, not to mention having being caught on video sometime at the end of last month. Well, we are slowly but surely getting closer to the announcement of a new Apple product, although we have no concrete information as to which device will be announced at the upcoming September 10th event. One persistent rumor that has been making its way around, however, is the budget-oriented iPhone 5C, which is said to arrive in a plastic case that will boast of many colors. What you see above is an alleged image of the purported iPhone 5C, coming in its packaging. The images were said to have been pulled from the Chinese website iapps.im, although they were removed in double quick time, but not before other sites managed to publish about it.
The alleged leaked image above depicts the iPhone 5C in white, blue and yellow case versions, while there are other alleged leaked photos of the iPhone 5C depicting it in a shade of red. What do you think Apple will unveil at their press conference this coming September 10th? Will it just be the iPhone 5S, or will the iPhone 5C accompany it? How about letting us see a new iPad, too?

This next week is sure to bring on its fair share of products internationally due to IFA 2013 taking place, but Apple is being tipped to keep things solid on its home turf with word of not one, not two, but three products set for store shelves. Word from unnamed sources speaking with the Telegraph […]

Everything seems to be lining up for a September 10th announcement from Apple. And to that point, the evidence seems to be mounting for the iPhone 5C, with the “C” looking like it will stand for color. We have seen a few iPhone 5C related image leaks in the past and as of today it […]

It is not abnormal to hear of discounts being introduced to the iPhone at this time of the year, but Wal-Mart might prove to to have an offer that you cannot refuse – as they have introduced price cuts so steep, you might even be moved to pick up an iPhone 5 even though you have been holding out for an iPhone 5S all this while. According to Wal-Mart, they have reduced the 16GB iPhone 5 to just $98 a pop, compared to its previous price point of $129 (which by the way, is still significantly more affordable compared to the standard $199.99 price tag of the iPhone 5). In order to qualify for this particular discount, you will need to sign up with AT&T, Verizon or Sprint for a new 2-year agreement,
Not only that, Wal-Mart will also reduce the price of its 10” iPads by $50 a pop, which means the most recent iPad with Retina Display model will cost $449 a pop, while the iPad 2 will be $349. Folks who have kept their fingers crossed for a cheaper iPad mini will be disappointed. These price cuts normally signify an effort on the retailer’s part to get rid of old stock with Apple widely expected to unveil the new iPhone 5S, with the possibility of a new iPad this coming September 10th, too.
