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%

The wait is over. Apple’s overhauled OS will be available for download on qualifying devices next week. Control Center, retooled notifications, redesigned calendar and improved Siri functionality alongside numerous other tweaks and thinner typography will soon be a mere download away. In order to take advantage of the update, you’ll need an iPhone 4 or later, iPad 2 or later, iPad mini or fifth-generation iPod touch. As always, this is a free download for device owners which means that grouping photos by moments and iTunes Radio are set to arrive in just over a week.

Intel CEO Brian Krzanich shows working 14nm SoC laptop, announces sub $100 tablets at IDF 2013
Posted in: Today's Chili
Many eyes may be shifted south of San Francisco to a shindig in Cupertino, but Intel’s making some waves in the city. Just now onstage at IDF 2013, CEO Brian Krzanich showed off a functioning laptop running on a 14nm Broadwell Intel SoC. Naturally, Krzanich didn’t deal any other details about the laptop, but did say that we’d see those tiny chips ship by the end of this year. And, following that little nugget, Chipzilla announced that there will be tablets packing Intel silicon being sold for less than $100 this holiday season. Who will build these bargain slates? Krzanich isn’t telling, but we’ll do our best to find out, and we’ll let you know as soon as we do.

It would appear that the folks at accessory makers X-Doria have let the cat out of the bag a bit early with cases for the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. While it’s possible that these cases were made with early models of these devices in-hand, it’s a bit more of a push for reality when […]

If you’ve been waiting with bated breath to buy Sony’s Xperia M, it’s time to exhale. An unlocked handset in black or white will set you back $250 from Newegg and the Sony Store, though the latter also has a yellow option. However, you’re out of luck if you had your hopes up for a purple smartphone — it’s only available directly from Sony, and Xperia Blog noticed it’s temporarily out of stock. Worried you might go extinct before the Barney-hued phone is available? Samsung has something aubergine to tempt you away.
