As expected and long rumored, Apple finally showed off to the world both the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. The iPhone 5C will be the budget model while the iPhone 5S will be Apple’s new flagship smartphone.
The iPhone 5C which will be competing with the mid tier section features iPhone 5 hardware like the A6 processor and rear camera in a very nice looking polycarbonate body.
The iPhone 5C will be available for pre-order in green, yellow, blue, white, and pink on Friday, September 13 for $99 in 16GB and 32GB for $199 in a two-year contract. It’ll officially go on sale along with the iPhone 5S on September 20th.
With the iPhone 5S Apple is directly competing with high end Android phones like the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One which have quite the challenge coming their way. The iPhone 5S features a two times faster A7 64-bit CPU, a new Touch ID sensor acting similar to a fingerprint reader, a 5-element lens with an f/2.2 aperture with a 15% bigger sensor than the iPhone 5 with 720p video at 120fps functionality.
The iPhone 5S hits stores September 20th in US, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, Singapore, and the UK. Prices on contract are $199, $299, and $399 for the 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB models respectively with a 2-year contract. Unlocked devices will be available on release for $649, $749 and $849.
