Those who dared saying the "the C in iPhone 5C is for Cheap" were proved to be wrong. As it stands, the iPhone 5c is anything but cheap. Pretty much an iPhone 5 in a new shell, the iPhone 5c is Apple's most colorful iPhone yet.
The iPhone 5c tech specs don't have anything very exciting, especially if you've already looked at the iPhone 5s specs, which we published not long ago. In an effort to document the release of the iPhone 5c, we will post the device's tech specs here for posterity...
The iPhone 5s might look like an iPhone 5 on the outside, but a few things have changed on the inside, making it, as you've probably guessed, the best iPhone yet.
Apple usually doesn't brag too much about specs because, as my wife says, "it's not about the size of your processor, it's about what you do with it." All jokes aside, even though Apple dropped a few tech specs today, we wanted to gather them up all under one roof.
More importantly, we have listed the iPhone 5s tech specs below for historical purposes. In several years from now, when the iPhone 5s is nowhere to be found on Apple's website, this post will help us have a look back on the iPhone 5s and its specs in one convenient place...
This is it. Apple finally unveiled the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5c without much surprise to anyone who's been following the rumors for a while. We've already posted about the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c pricing and availability but we thought it'd be worth having a post dedicated to these devices' prices off-contract.
So far, looking at Apple's website, only T-Mobile will be offering unlocked and contract-free iPhones from day one, starting September 20th. If history is any indication of the future, chances are other carriers such as AT&T will later offer the devices without a contact, and unlocked for use on other carriers.
But let's have a look at the prices of contract-free iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c...
With the recent release of iOS 7 GM to developers, it is not surprising that Apple has now been sending emails inviting them to submit their iOS 7 apps. With an official public release set for September 18, developers can finally submit their updated apps.
Along with the usual "improvements and bug fixes," many apps updated for iOS 7 will probably take into account the radical design change introduced by Apple's latest mobile Operating System.
Here is Apple's email to developers:
Here is an interesting graph to look at, a day before Apple is set to announce not one, but two new iPhones, which we'll call the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C, at least until Apple proves us wrong.
This chart, created by Deutsche Bank's Chris Whitmore takes a look at the Apple stock price during the months before and after an iPhone announcement...

Although Nintendo made it clear on multiple occasions that they will not port their games to other platforms, things aren't looking up for the Japanese company that's been slashing prices left and right in a hope it will sell more of its gaming devices.
Apple pundit John Gruber chimes in and shares his views about what Nintendo should do to keep relevant in a market it helped define:

"Champagne is neither a colour, nor anything else than the name of wines from Champagne." This is the tweet sent a few days ago by the Comité Champagne, a trade association that represents the interests of independent Champagne producers and Champagne Houses in France.
The tweet, which came with a link to a page showcasing significant victories of the Comité Champagne in defending the Champagne name across the globe, was a not-so-subtle way for the organization to send Apple a message that it'd better think twice if it decided to indeed call its rumored gold iPhone model Champagne...
If you listen to our weekly podcast Let's Talk Jailbreak, you might have heard that I've had a bunch of iDB t-shirts made a while back, yet I never tried to sell them or even give them away. To be honest, although the box has been sitting in my office for a couple months, it kinda became part of the office to the point that I forgot about it.
But it's this time of the year where I must make some room for more and I need to unload these t-shirts. While selling them did cross my mind, I decided to actually give them away to a few loyal readers...

We have some good news following our yesterday's report that PlexConnect, the hack that allows you to run Plex on a non jailbroken Apple TV had been disabled in the device's recent update. As it turns out, you can still run PlexConnect on your Apple TV, although it might not be as straightforward as it once was.
Developer Paul Kehrer has written a fairly detailed tutorial explaining how to run PlexConnect on your Apple TV. The hack still poses as Apple TV's Trailers app in order to accomplish the install...
