Apple iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c FCC documents appear, reveal little

Apple iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c FCC documents appear, reveal little

Right on time, as Apple’s launch event finishes the FCC publishes test documents for its latest hardware. After pawing through the stack we didn’t spot any surprises for the iPhone 5c or iPhone 5s — with their wide LTE compatibility and Bluetooth 4.0 LE covered there’s little missing other than 802.11ac WiFi — or internal photos exposing the new 64-bit A7 chip. Still, there are external pics (a few are included after the break) showing some of the frequency and exposure testing endured by each phone, and enough band information for those interested to stay busy until they actually go on sale.

A Pink iPhone Was Inevitable, And I Love It

A Pink iPhone Was Inevitable, And I Love It

I learned to type on the original Macintosh, worshipped my click wheel iPod, and still believe in Apple TV. I am an enthusiastic Apple evangelist in pretty much every aspect of my life. But I have never been excited about a single Apple announcement until today.

iPhone 5C Meta Hands-On: Proudly Plastic, Surprisingly Premium

iPhone 5C Meta Hands-On: Proudly Plastic, Surprisingly Premium

The iPhone 5C sure turned out to be exactly what we expected, except with some serious iPhone 5 guts in there instead of the old 4S snoozers. And just $100 (on contract). But that’s only half the fun. How do those plastic backs feel, with and without the horrible cases? There’s one big takeaway: This ain’t no "cheap" iPhone.

New iPhones means new accessories: see the options right here

New iPhone means new accessories see the options right here

Welcome to the drama, the dilemmas, the sheer disbelief involved in picking accessories to go with your new iPhone. (Yes, an official 30-pin to Lightning adapter really costs that much). We can’t promise to make the choices easy, but we can at least give you a glimpse of some of the bumpers and functional extras that Apple has revealed today, and link you up to the relevant pages on Apple’s store (see the Source links below).

Starting with the iPhone 5c, it’s “unapologetically” plastic to start with, of course, but you can give it extra protection with an additional, colorful mesh-style plastic case. This costs $29 and comes in the same five colors as the phone itself, so you can either match the phone or mix it up with a secondary color. There’s also a black option if you want to tone things down a bit. One more thing: the iPhone 5c gets it’s own Lightning dock, which comes in plain white and costs $29.

Next up: the iPhone 5s, which comes in very different color options — silver, grey or gold — and therefore gets a different set of bumper colors. These cost $49 $39 (correction: $49 is solely for the special (RED) charity case, regular cases are $39), they’re made of leather on the outside and protective microfiber on the inside, and come in softer colors that are a bit tricky to describe (not least because this writer is red-green color blind): some kinda yellow, some kinda peach, some kinda… or just look at the image after the break. Lastly, Apple’s website lists a $29 iPhone 5s dock too, which is cross-compatible with the regular iPhone 5.%Gallery-slideshow83651% %Gallery-slideshow83650%
