The iPhone 5s, which Apple launched some ten days ago, has proved incredibly popular across many markets, and at this moment in time, the company is struggling to ship in the numbers demanded by the consumer. But while the handset itself is difficult enough to get hold of, the new Gold model is a particularly scarce commodity, and with eBay sellers offering the device at up to and in excess of double the retail price, some Chinese customers have taken less expensive measures to achieve that champagne finish in the form of sticker-based conversion kits.
Apple is rightly pleased with its inclusion of 120fps slow motion feature in the iPhone 5s, and if the videos we have already seen taken with the device are any indication, it will be more than another feature that never gets used beyond the first couple of weeks. We're looking at you, Samsung.
At the time of my iPhone 5s purchase, I was really confused which color I should go for. Gold was hard to find, Silver isn’t really my thing, and Space Gray I thought would look exactly similar to the Black & Slate iPhone 5 that I already had for over a year. But when I unboxed my Space Gray iPhone 5, I was surprised at how different and appealing the new gray shade was.

Battery life is an important aspect of any mobile device, although it has to be said, we don't always hold it in as high a regard as we perhaps should. Even in this day and age, seldom do consumers make battery life considerations until it's too late - instead blinded by an array of impressive, if often unnecessary features. With us now being in the period between the iPhone 5s and 5c's announcement and release, we can actually take the time to assess the minor details of the two new entrants to Apple's smartphone roster, and according to FCC filings discovered by AnandTech, both handsets will offer superior battery life to the iPhone 5.
Apple’s iPhone event managed to deliver pretty much everything we expected, with the addition of a few minor curveballs. The much-speculated iPhone 5c and 5s were introduced to a small but excited crowd, but rather than announcing a price decrease of the current generation iPhone 5, Apple has instead decided to kill off the phone altogether.
As we continue to count down the days until September 10th's all-but confirmed unveiling of the new iPhone, an interesting tidbit has just surfaced courtesy of KGI Securities' resident Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Up until now, it was thought the iPhone 5S would retail alongside the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C as Apple's three options available to prospective consumers. However Kuo believes that instead, Apple could ditch the iPhone 5 completely, rather opting to keep the iPhone 4S running momentarily as the third-in-command to the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C respectively.
Although at this stage, some three-and-a-half weeks prior to the alleged announcement of the low-cost iPhone 5C, we haven't seen a working version of the device in action, the outer shell has been leaked through numerous outlets, and today, a hands-on comparing the current available components with the iPhone 5 has emerged, once again. Sure, we're expecting the iPhone 5's successor to be revealed on that same September 10th date, but with the budget device also being new to market, prospective iPhone owners will be undoubtedly weighing up their options, and thanks to this video, we can take an early look at how the iPhone 5C stands up to the current flagship.
