iPhone 5c

Hands-on clip of alleged yellow iPhone 5C shell

At this point, we've seen so many photos of purported budget iPhone shells that it's hard to imagine Apple not launching the handset this fall. But just in case you are still skeptical, we're adding more evidence to the pile this morning.

A new hi-res hands-on video of a yellow iPhone shell, believed to belong to Apple's low-end handset, hit the web late last night. And it gives us an extremely close up view of both the outside, and inside of the so-called iPhone 5C's casing...

Joint iPhone 5S, 5C launch could be the most successful in Apple’s history

If you're still scratching your head trying to figure out why high profile investor Carl Icahn just made a [rumored] $1 billion investment in Apple, consider this: the stock is down more than $200 from where it was a year ago, despite any major missteps, and the company is about to have another big fall.

How big? Well rumor has it that Apple is going to unveil two new handsets during its big media event next month. There's the iPhone 5S, the successor to the current iPhone, and the 'iPhone 5C,' an all-new low-cost model. And analysts believe that the two will make for Apple's biggest product launch ever...

Analyst: iPhone 5C may exclude Siri, but will boost margins and attract new sales

For some time, Wall Street investors and Apple watchers have stressed the iPhone maker must adjust to more modest profit margins, as well as a worldwide reality where cheap Android smartphones enable competitors to attract price-conscious consumers. Now comes a voice saying Apple could have it all: a cheap handset, fatter margins and a larger international audience.

By attracting the prepaid market, Apple's much-expected iPhone 5C will do all that by going after a huge pool of prepaid wireless customers that's four times larger than the current U.S. subscribers. Meanwhile, another analysts believes he knows the cheaper iPhone will exclude some features, such as Siri...

Bloomberg weighs in on upcoming iPads and iPhones

With less than a month until Apple's September 10 iPhone event, Bloomberg has scanned the blogs and talked to its unnamed sources in an effort to dig up some previously unknown "facts" about Apple's upcoming iPhone and iPad refreshes.

Now, stop me if you've heard this before, but much of Bloomberg's reporting centers around a thinner and lighter iPad 5 with iPad mini style design.

Where it gets interesting, however, is a claim that Apple also plans to introduce a Retina iPad mini this year rather than in 2014...

Photos of alleged ‘iPhone 5C’ volume buttons hit the web

Though we're fairly confident that Apple will be holding an event on Tuesday, September 10 to unveil a new iPhone, we're still not exactly sure what it will present. Safe money is on a new iPhone model, the iPhone 5S, but what else?

It's starting to seem more and more likely that the 5S will share the stage with a lower cost, plastic handset next month. We've seen dozens of leaked parts corroborating the theory over the summer, and today, we're adding a few more...

Jim Dalrymple confirms Apple’s September 10 iPhone event

Boom, just like that an independent and unambiguous confirmation of Apple's rumored iPhone-focused media event, apparently due in less than a month, has now arrived.

You'll remember that two days ago AllThingsD was first to claim that Tim Cook & Co. will take the wraps off of a next-generation iPhone at a media event on September 10.

AllThingsD is a Wall Street Journal blog which rarely publishes unconfirmed rumors, but despite its aura of credibility it's always nice receiving an independent confirmation of a major rumor like this. Monday, The Loop's Jim Dalrymple has thrown its proverbial 'yep' behind the AllThingsD rumor, all but confirming the September 10 event...

New report reiterates ‘5C’ name for budget iPhone, calls for a gold 5S colorway

It's been a big weekend for iPhone rumors. And now that we've all circled September 10 on our calendars as the likely date for Apple's big smartphone event, it's time to start trying to figure out just what exactly it'll unveil.

A new report out of Japan today corroborates previous chatter, claiming that we'll be seeing two iPhones on stage that Tuesday: a low-budget model that is indeed called the 'iPhone 5C,' and an iPhone 5S with a gold colorway...

New videos of alleged iPad 5 and low-cost ‘iPhone 5C’ surface

During Apple's quarterly earnings call last month, Tim Cook said that the company had some "amazing new hardware" coming this fall. It's something he's mention several times over the past few months, and we've seen plenty of evidence to back it up.

Over the past 6 months, we've seen a number of purported part leaks for different rumored and anticipated Apple products. And today, we're adding to the pile. This morning, two new videos hit the web of an alleged iPad 5 and the low-cost 'iPhone 5C'...

Authenticity of leaked ‘iPhone 5C’ boxes questioned, but name said to be real

Over the weekend, some photos of packaging allegedly belonging to Apple's low-cost iPhone surfaced on the internet. Admittedly, the boxes looked fake, as there were a number of visible inconsistencies, but the 'iPhone 5C' branding on them was intriguing.

Today, our friends over Nowhereelse.fr confirmed our suspicions, highlighting a number of issues with the boxesm including odd blurred and distorted areas, and missing Apple logos. But as it turns out, the name 'iPhone 5C' might actually be legitimate...

Sketchy photos claim to show budget ‘iPhone 5C’ packaging

A new set of photos hit the web this morning, showing a number of boxes with the label 'iPhone 5C' on the side. Our first instinct is, of course, that these boxes belong to one of the many iPhone clones circulating about Asia. But on the off chance that there's more to it than that, we've posted them.

The images come courtesy of Nowhereelse.fr, who has posted accurate photos of leaked parts in the past, and their theory on them is actually quite interesting. The site suggests that it's possible that these plastic boxes are the packaging for Apple's rumored budget iPhone, expected to debut this fall...
