iPhone 5s / iPhone 5C Available September 20th | iOS 7 Updated Available September 18th
Earlier today, Apple held their annual iPhone keynote unveiling the long awaited iPhone 5s, along with the heavily rumored cheaper modeled phone, iPhone 5c. Those of you expecting to get the 5c verses upgrading to the 5s will theoretically be getting an upgraded sexier iPhone5 with an improved FaceTime HD camera.
If you have kids or thots in your life, the 5c is something you can look into more; but iPhone 5 users should be content with the hardware they currently have receiving an update in a few days. Speaking of which, starting next Wednesday on September 18, the official rollout for iOS 7 for more recent devices from the likes of iPhone 4, iPad 2, iPad mini, and 5th generation iPod touch. In our assessment so far of the new navigation, it heavily resembles the “Android-Look”, but still has an Apple feel to it.
Check after the jump to view hands-on demonstration videos for the iPhone 5s and 5c, plus a complete comparison chart with both new phones to the current 5.
