Apple iPhone 5s vs iPhone 5c which is for you

Considering your own desires for gaming, photography, security, style — and yes, your budget — it’s likely that one phone is a better fit for your needs.

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.

AT&T finalizes $1.9 billion spectrum purchase from Verizon, deal will improve LTE service in 18 states

It’s taken almost eight months, but AT&T has at last finalized its deal to purchase $1.9 billion worth of spectrum from Verizon. The agreement, first announced back in January, allows Verizon to unload a good chunk of its 700MHz spectrum, which AT&T will in turn use to improve its LTE service for 42 million customers across 18 different states. And that’s all she wrote, folks. If you’re curious to see whether your state is covered, all 18 of them are listed in the press release below. Be warned, though: you’ll also need to watch AT&T do a victory lap over how fast its network is.

Nike+ Move for iPhone 5s is a gateway to activity apps, won’t replace a FuelBand

Nike Move for iPhone 5S is an 'introduction' to Nike Fuel, not a replacement

While Apple was explaining the iPhone 5s’ new M7 motion coprocessor, it mentioned a Nike+ Move tracking app that left us wondering about the FuelBand’s fate — is it redundant? In a word, no. Nike tells us that Move is simply an “introductory experience” that generates a Nike Fuel score based on day-to-day movements. Those serious about activity tracking will want to continue using a FuelBand or the Nike+ Running app, the company says. While that news may prove disappointing for some fitness gurus, we wouldn’t be too worried at this stage — there are likely to be at least a few apps that combine M7 support with advanced features.
