Apple launches iPhone 5C - Based on iPhone 5, Prices Starting from $549

Along with iPhone 5S, Apple announced the iPhone 5c. The device will be replacing the iPhone 5 and will be priced lower to reach out to a larger audience. The smartphone lived up to the numerous leaks, combining iPhone 5 internals with a plastic outer shell that comes in a number of bright colors. it uses a new construction method that has a reinforced steel structure.
Here come the specs – a 4" Retina display with the same resolution (640 x 1136 pixels), Apple A6 chipset (same as iPhone 5) running iOS 7, 8MP / 1080p camera, 100Mbps LTE connectivity, Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0. The iPhone 5c is thicker than the iPhone 5 - 9mm vs. 7.6mm - and heavier - 132g vs. 112g.
The camera is an 8MP iSight unit with BSI, hybrid IR filter and a 5 element lens. The front camera is now better with a 1.9 micron pixel size, BSI. The iPhone 5C will have support for dual band WiFi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and LTE as well. The phone will be available for $99 for the 16GB version and $199 for the 32GB version on a two year contract. 


Apple also plans to introduce a range of new cases that looks very snazzy at a price point of $29 each.

The subsidized unlocked prices for the iPhone 5C 16 GB version will be available for 549$ and the 32 GB version will be available for 649$. Let me do the direct conversion for you, the Indian National Rupee prices will likely be – Rs. 35,500/- for the 16 GB version and Rs. 42,000/- for the 32 GB version, rounding off to the nearest values without taxes and import duties.

Apple iPhone 5S officially unveils, Brings new A7 processor and Fingerprint sensor, prices starting from $649

Apple has announced the eagerly anticipated iPhone 5S in an event held at its campus . iPhone 5S is first of apple iPhone series device to be available in gold, Slate and Silver colours. It is powered with new A7 64 bit processor along with M7 Chip, first smartphone to be run on 64 bit processor. The iPhone 5S also brings an updated camera and revamped internals, read on to find out what the iPhone 5S is all about.

The A7 chipset

The Apple A7 is the first 64-bit mobile processor that has 2X the performance of the previous generation. The M7 on the other hand is a co-processor that can detect motion using a trio of sensors – Accelerometer, Compass and Gyroscope. Developers will be able to take advantage of it using their APIs.

What's more, regular apps will now have more information about things such as your mode of transportation. Thanks to the M7 processor, the Maps app, for instance, would be able to automatically switch to pedestrian mode as soon as you pull over your car and get out.

8MP camera

The new camera has a wider f/2.2 aperture (as opposed to f/2.4) and a 15% larger image sensor, which however is still 8MP. The larger surface has allowed for larger, 1.5 micron pixels (as opposed to the usual 1.4 micron ones). A larger camera sensor provides the benefit of lower image noise in low-light conditions and better tonal dynamic range in high contrast scenes.
There is also a new double LED flash on the iPhone 5s, which Apple has dubbed True Tone, called this way because it allows to achieve more accurate colors tone. It consists of two LEDs, with each having a different color temperature. By analyzing the scene, the iPhone 5s would decide what mix of the LEDs' color temperatures is needed to achieve a naturally lit scene. The dynamic mixing of the LEDs color temperature allows for up to 1000 variations of the light output temperature.

The camera also comes with new image stabilization, albeit digital one. It works by taking four photos with a short exposure time. Then the best parts of those photos are combined into one image with as little noise, subject motion, and hand shake as possible.

Slow motion video is also coming to the iPhone, with 720p 120 fps video capture. Pro Tip – Samsung just announced this for the Note 3 recently. The photo samples Apple showed at the Keynote looked really impressive, as usual.

Touch ID

iPhone 5s sports a touch sensor embedded into the Home button. It's called Touch ID.The Touch ID sensor is hidden behind a sapphire crystal lens. Around there is a metallic ring, which would detect the presence of your finger and activate the sensor without you pushing anything. It is 170 microns thin, senses 500 ppi and even scans your sub-dermial skin layers. The demo established that Touch ID is highly accurate.

Battery

Moving onto battery life, Apple stated that the standby time will be better than the iPhone 5 at 250 hours while you can do with 10 hours of browsing on LTE.

Price

As expected the iPhone 5s will be priced just as the iPhone 5 - in the US, at least, it will cost $200 for the inadequately equipped 16GB version, $300 for the overpriced 32GB version and $400 for the splurge 64GB edition.
The iPhone 4S 8GB will be heavily discounted and will be selling for free on a two-year contract. Sadly, the iPhone 5 will be discontinued, obviously to make way for the iPhone 5C.

Unlocked Apple iPhone 5S is priced at $649(Rs. 41,750) for the 16GB version, 749$(Rs. 48,200) for 32 GB and 849$(Rs. 54,616) for the 64 GB version.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Full Specs

Samsung's freshly unveiled Galaxy Note 3 phablet has been treated to a bigger screen, a high-performance mobile processor and a new finish. We get a closer look at this latest outsized handset and its updated spec sheet at the IFA 2013 trade show in Berlin.
Screen size keeps creeping gradually upwards with the Samsung Galaxy Note series. After trying out 5.2" then 5.5" formats, the latest addition to the Note range can be seen sporting a 5.7" display. The screen itself is still based on AMOLED technology and resolution has been upped to Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels). What's more, Samsung has once again chosen to out two different versions of this phablet—one for Asian markets running a home-grown Exynos 5420 SoC and one for the rest of the world with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800.

As seen in other devices, the Snapdragon 800 is a 2.3 GHz quad-core CPU with an Adreno 330 iGPU that breezes its way through games. There's also a 3G/4G LTE modem onboard. The Note 3 has 3 GB of RAM and runs on a 3200 mAh battery, adding 100 mAh to the previous model. It'll be available from 25 September in 32 GB and 64 GB versions.
