2 factors Disclose The Apple’s Mission With The iPhone 5C

The iPhone 5C has drawn sneers because it wasn’t the low cost device the tech industry projected. Here is why the Apple had something different up its sleeve.

When the leaks about iPhone 5C started showing up earlier that year, the tech industry watchers started speculating it, this was long conjectured iPhone Mini. Those prospects were just based only on the previous success of the iPod Mini, that was smaller and less costly than the Apple’s flagship iPod and went on to become the best selling model in the product line.

If you want to know that what Apple’s doing with iPhone 5C and why it may make sense, here are 2 factors that disclose the Apple’s mission with the iPhone 5C:

1. Apple didn’t announce a new iPod Touch

Every year we expect a new iPod touch at Apple’s annual (September) product event but this time it did not happen. While the Apple looked busy in selling last year’s iPad models ( they’re still available in the retail stores and at online store), the product is rapidly reaching end of life.

In the July, The Apple reported in its incomes call that the units of iPod sold was down 32 percent year over year, one of the largest drops in the history of the product line. That is important because the iPod Touch has sustained to be a strong seller the past few years. In 2011, there were quarters when the iPod touch sales matched iPad sales.

The iPod touch was very popular among teens and kids, who may use it to enjoy some iPhone apps over the Wi-Fi. The Apple sold over eighty million iPod touch devices from 2007 to 2012.

While the entry level iPod touch never cost less than the $199, the same price as entry level iPhone on a two year wireless contract, the appeal was that, you did not have to pay $70 per month for a Smartphone contract with the data plan like you did with the iPhone. Although, the economics of the Smartphones have varied extremely over past 12 months.

2. U.S. kids are converting to Smartphones

During the last year, the U.S. wireless carriers have presented family data plans, that have made it much more practical for the parents to get Smartphones for their children. A household with 2 adults that are already of $20 (Sprint), $10 (T-Mobile), $40 (Verizon), or $35 (AT&T).

At the end, 37 perent of the U.S. teenagers own a Smartphone ( that is up from 23 percent in 2011), according to the Pew internet’s report, the Teens and the Technology 2013. Distinctly, the Zact 2013 mobile families survey, have found that the 44 percent of the U.S. kids (aged 12-17) are using Smartphone in 2013. It guesses this stats to grow to 51 percent in the 2014, 59 percent in 2015, 66 percent in 2016, and 73 percent in 2017.

Let’s not think of iPhone 5C as the low cost iPhone for the emerging markets. Apple might or might not make that product, but this isn’t it.

Instead, let’s think of iPhone 5C as the Apple’s iPod Touch replacement for a wave of kids that are about to convert to the Smartphones.

iPhone To Probably Hold Fingerprint Detection

New York (CNNMoney), while there is still no official confirmation of what the Apple plans to show off today, it’s the worst kept secret in tech; we are getting new iPhones.

The Apple keeps its lips tight when it comes to the future devices. But the Apple does have to rely on the other companies to make the iPhone, that means the leaks are inevitable.

We might not know anything about the new iPhone, but we’ve a decent idea of what to expect.

As usual, the Apple will update its flagship iPhone model, that is expected to be known as iPhone 5S. It’s not probably to be a fundamental redesign, but the Apple still could have some things to brag about.

For the starters, the iPhone 5S is estimated to come in a champagne or gold, depending on who you talk to the color. The first clue of this came from a seeped factory image of iPhone part, and then this happens simultaneously. AllThingsD finally got trusted sources to ensure the rumor.

It is also possible that the iPhone 5S will come in a brighter shade of gray, offering a 4^th option for the iPhone buyers. The handset is also expected to have the upgraded hardware, that should come as no surprise. Many people think that the iPhone 5S will feature the Apple’s A7 processor, a dual core chip promising 31 percent more computing power.

According to the other leaks, the iPhone 5S will contain an improved camera and an upgraded dual LED flash to create your night shots look less splashed out.

Maybe the most thrilling rumor is that the iPhone 5S will contain a fingerprint detection where the home button is typically located. The rumors about it first popped up in the January,when the Ming Chi Kuo, a KGI security specialist with the best record.

If tradition holds and the Apple throws another event in the October, the chances are that we will see the updated iPads and maybe other new products then.

iOS 7 beta 7 Release Goes Baseless

If you’re seeing any claims of iOS 7 beta 7 launch date planned or that it has just squeezed in before the Apple occasion expected in eight days time, so you should just disregard them. The Gold Master is estimated to be the next before a public release and any blog claiming another iOS 7 beta has gone live for the developers to download must be somewhere other than this world.

After proving from our developer for the minor possibility of iOS 7 beta 7, he ensured moments ago that the normal ‘your software is up to date’ message seems on the iPhone 5S & 4S running beta 6.

This means that with over a week to go until an estimated Apple keynote, we extremely doubt that you’ll see the iOS 7 beta 7 launch today, even some blogs claim it’ll arrive or has released already. This news is just confusing people rather than reporting the facts, though we’ll update product reviews readers when the latest update lands at the some point.

Would you want to see the iOS 7 beta 7 today or the Gold Master next Tuesday? In our view, the upcoming software download will arrive at the estimated iPhone event in the coming week and it’ll be the Gold Master and then launching to the public this month before the iPhone arrives.

 It should be pointed out, that some people are also getting tangled over the iOS 7 launch date, thanks to the certain blogs misinforming readers again. New iPhone 5C and 5S event could be happen on the Sept.10, but this is not an exact release date for either the new software or Phone.

The most you’ll see is the new hardware uncovered and a Gold Master of the iOS 7. So, any blogs declaring different aren’t that well informed.

Apple Purportedly Testing Larger iPhones and iPads

The Apple might be working on the larger iPhones and iPads, According to the report by the Wall Street Journal. The officials at the company’s dealers have apparently stated that the Apple has demanded screen designs for the tablet device sporting a display just under the 13 inches. The prototype iPhones with the larger screens are reportedly also under the progress, consistent with the previous report by the Reuters signifying that the Apple was discovering the possibility of 4.7 inches and 5.7 inches for its Smartphone.

This shows that Apple is wildly taking interest in producing larger display in their upcoming devices as the competitors have compelled Apple to produce larger display. Moreover, the customers are showing their willingness to see next iPhone along with larger screen or display.

The Wall Street journal’s sources state that the production for the upcoming 9.7 inch iPad is estimated to ramp up in the near future, that is said to use a thinner and larger design.

It is very important to note that the prototypes aren’t always indicative of the actual products. And that it’s commonplace for the companies to test a wide range of devices before determining whether or not to carry on the development process. Although, the reports might be a sign that the Apple is showing interest to expand its product range even further, probably it could be a reaction to the competitor Samsung due to its large line of mobile devices.
