iPhone 5c and 5s coming to 9 countries, including the US and China on September 20th
Posted in: Today's Chili
Apple’s new iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s are now in the wild, and here’s how you’ll be able to grab one. Both will arrive on September 20th in the US, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, Singapore and the UK, with iPhone 5c pre-orders starting September 13th. That marks the first time China will get the iPhone at launch, and NTT DoCoMo will get it in Japan for the first time. By December, Apple said the phones will be available in over 100 countries.
Stateside, a basic 16GB iPhone 5s model will run $199 for the 16GB version, $299 for 32GB and $399 for 64GB on a two year contract. The iPhone 5c will cost $99 for the 16GB model and $199 for the 32GB model. You’ll also be able to grab them at those prices from AT&T, Sprint and Verizon, while an unlocked, contract free iPhone 5c will be available through T-Mobile for $549 (16GB) and $649 (32GB). T-Mobile will also have the unlocked iPhone 5s for $649, $749 and $849, for 16GB, 32GB and 64GB respectively. Though the iPhone 5 will be discontinued, the iPhone 4s will stay on the roster and be free on a two-year contract. The new models will start shipping out on September 20th (there’s no pre-order for the iPhone 5s), but if you decide you want one in your hand on that very day, you can also hit Apple stores, of course — if you’re feeling lucky.

The much rumored fingerprint scanner for the iPhone 5S is here, and it’s pretty awesome. It’s more that just a high tech way to unlock your phone, too—though it does do that. However, it’s also poised to open up all kinds of other possibilities.

Just because Apple now has a mid-range phone that they’re hocking for cheaper doesn’t mean it’s not getting the same love and attention it deserves. Case in point: the "cool line of custom cases just for the 5C" that show off the contrasting colors with 35 circular cutouts. Thirty-five. Circular. Cutouts.

Apple announces the iPhone 5c: 4-inch Retina display, plastic design, available in five colors starting at $99 on-contract
Posted in: Today's Chili
And then there were two. Apple has for the first time announced a second new iPhone model: the iPhone 5c. As rumored, the device has a colorful new polycarbonate design, which Apple says is made from a single part save the front panel — the whole of which is a multitouch surface — and reinforced with a steel structure that’s said to be made using a new construction method. It’s “beautifully, unapologetically plastic,” according to Apple’s Jony Ive.
As for specs, you’ll get the same 4-inch Retina display as the iPhone 5 (full sRGB), plus an A6 processor, LTE, Bluetooth 4.0 and dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi connectivity, a higher capacity batter and an 8-megapixel, backside-illuminated camera with a 5-element lens. A new front-facing camera also promises better performance in low light.
Available in blue, white, pink, yellow and green, the 5C will set you back $99 on a two-year contract for the 16GB version, or $199 for the 32GB (off-contract options run $549 and $649). Those looking for a bit of added protection can also opt for one of the new cases that Apple has designed to match the phone — they’ll set you back $29 apiece. Pre-orders will open up on September 13th, with the phone set to ship alongside the iPhone 5s a week later on September 20th.%Gallery-slideshow83638% %Gallery-slideshow83651%
