iPhone 5C specs Leaked with Siri included

Pictures of the iPhone 5C have been leaked several times on the internet for the past weeks which shows mainly the design, but the specifications are still basically unknown. Today a  new report leaks online which shows the full detailed specification of the iPhone 5C.



Although the American manufacturer has not yet confirmed anything, the name of the device iPhone 5C seems also officially confirmed, where the “C” presumably stands for color.

Specs of the iPhone 5C detailed below:
Dual-core CPU (unknown clock speed)
4,0 inch display
1136 x 640 pixels
1 GB RAM
16/32/64 GB storage
8,0 megapixel camera on the back
1,2 megapixel camera on the front
4.89 x 2.30 x 0.30 inch (124,2 x 58,4 x 7,6 mm)
3.74 oz (106 grams)
iOS 7.0
Siri (English, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Italian and Spanish)

This makes the device slightly larger and narrower than the iPhone 5, but these differences are minimal. The thickness remained unchanged, despite recent leaked cases that showed a slightly thicker design. The weight is 6 grams decreased, which can be explained by the plastic housing.

The predicted retail price of the iPhone 5C is set around $ 400 for the 16 GB version, and the release is set for the end of September.

iOS 7 to be available to the public on September 10th.

An apple developer received an email indicating that iOS 7 would be released to the general public on the 10th, giving non-developers their first peek at the controversial operating system. The email comes from Nuance, which works closely enough with Apple to know the date in advance.



The news could also indicate that the release date of the new iPhones will come much closer to the September 10th event itself. Apple could even opt for a day-of release, a move the company has executed successfully with other products, but never attempted with the iPhone.

Leaked Parts of the Gold iPhone 5S

Today’s emergence of the possibility of a gold colored iPhone 5S is definitely up there with the unexpected speculative topics. It may seem a little unlikely to some, but newly leaked images that show purported parts of the sparkling device add more fuel to the growing fire.



It’s also interesting to note that the source of the images are claiming that they have purposely removed any sign of the Apple branding or iPhone trademark from the back of the device’s shell. It seems rather strange that this would happen, but the lack of any blurring or distortion on the image could suggest that the parts themselves aren’t actually genuine. This however doesn’t mean that the gold or champagne colored device doesn’t exist. A number of well respected and well placed individuals are putting their reputations on the line by stating that this gold variant of the iPhone is indeed going to happen, and happen soon.



With Apple expecting to hold a media event on September 10th we don’t have long to wait to see what they have in store for us and the future of the iPhone.

Nexus 5 coming from LG



Tipped to launch in the fourth quarter, the Nexus 5 is said to be the first handset to carry Android Key Lime Pie. The Google Nexus 5 is expected to land from LG for a second year in a row, and be loosely based on the G2 flagship. The device is also notable for its 5.2 inch full HD display and a Snapdragon 800 processor with a wider screen than equivalent devices because of the extra space afforded by removing side buttons with a very thin bezel on the sides, and camera unit moved closer to the edge of the phone.

A glass back will make its way onto the Nexus 5, in line with the tradition started last year, for what sounds like a killer Android phone, especially if Google again releases it at cost or with slightly subsidized pricing like the last Nexus.

We don't know if the superior audio quality and OIS tech of the G2 will make it into this purported Nexus 5, but if all of this is true, more leaks shouldn't be far behind, as the summer is almost over, and we all know the onslaught that will follow on the way to the holiday shopping craze.

Siri not included in iPhone 5C

The Apple iPhone 5C is not yet official, but judging by the overwhelming number of leaked images, videos and whispers, the device is coming soon. Latest report suggest the device will not support signature iOS features and capabilities including the Siri voice assistant, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster stated in an investors note released on Monday night.






Munster says that some "software features" like Siri may be excluded from the low cost model. The Wall Street number cruncher forecasts that the iPhone 5C will end up retailing for $300. Apple is then expected to put the Apple iPhone 4S in mothballs and make the iPhone 5C its low end model. The analyst says that eliminating Siri on the low-cost model should be enough to differentiate the iPhone 5C from the iPhone 5S and prevent cannibalization of higher-end sales by the budget version of the phone.

As far as the new full-priced model is concerned, Munster sees a fingerprint scanner coming on the Apple iPhone 5S, but does not believe features like mobile payments will be ready for iOS 7 this year. Instead, he believes that the scanner will offer basic functions such as unlocking the phone. Securing payments using fingerprints won't occur until next year's iOS update, according to Munster.  The long-time Wall Streeter expects a large-screened Apple iPhone and the Apple iWatch to come to market in the middle of next year.
