The Iphone 5s & Iphone 5c [not Tri-Band LTE] (was "Next iPhone to be announced on September 10")

[sbolen]

Softbank shoutout. 

 

No mention of LTE. Odd.

[lvanders]

Thats it for iPhone folks

[WiWavelength]

I'm sure many people are on this thread just to see what LTE bands the Iphone will be filling up

 

At least from a Sprint centric perspective, I am not sure that will be clearly revealed in the presentation.  We will have to wait for the FCC OET docs and/or the tech specs pages on apple.com.

I can't imagine that the 5S will have fewer LTE bands than the 5C. That's not how Apple operates.

[themuffinman]

Does Apple usually release the FCC docs on the same day as the iPhone event?

Usually right after the event is finished.

I hope my updates were ok.  That was pretty intense for me especially trying to feed you guys some pics!

You did a great job in giving us the highlights of the event.  Thanks for doing this for us.  I was just watching the Engadget liveblog just to see it myself.

Well the Softbank and China probably ensures TD-LTE 2600

The Galaxy S3 and S4 has TD-LTE models in China and Japan and elsewhere but not on Sprint so don't assume that quickly.

Which would also mean that LTE 800 will supported and triband since Sprint is not making dual band LTE phones.

This is the one thing I absolutely love about apple, they announce a product and in less than two weeks its available to the masses unlike every other android oem who announces a product then take an addition month or two(if not longer) to reach the masses.

Been following the iPhone 5c & iPhone 5s announcement

 

The 5c is not just a iPhone 5 with a plastic cover. Its slightly reworked. It has a bigger battery as well. Also it's only 99 bucks with contract.  There's a steel ring inside the plastic to reinforce it.

 

Both the 5c ( which replaces the iPhone 5 ) and the new 5S "support more LTE bands then any other phone available right now in the world" according to the live Apple conference.  I'm assuming this means 800 LTE support..  2500 support  !  ...As this phone ( see below ) will be on Softbanks networks and many others. 

 

The 5S looks AMAZING!  First smartphone with 64 bit processor CPU - offers up to 100% more speed then iPhone 5cpu.

Has completely new M7 Co processor: It's a motion co-processor. It aggregates and monitors accelerometer, gyro, and compass data and offloads it from the A7. A motion co-processor. Enables new generation of Health and Fitness apps.  Nike Move Plus App coming out for it.

 

Camera has been reworked. It actually takes multiple pictures so quickly you don't even know it. It picks the sharpest and gives you that one!  There's a new, 5-element, Apple-designed lens with f/2.2 aperture. A 15 percent larger sensor.
True tone flash: Camera App analyzes the color &lighting  of the room and give you a accurate true color flash.
It offers 1,000 possible color temperatures combinations.  They are finally adding 120fps slow-motion camera too.  Burst mode photo taking: 10 fps picture as long as finger on the button.

 

Finger Print sensor confirmed. It's in the home button, with sapphire crystal top, a "stainless steel detection ring" and a tactile switch under the fingerprint sensor. Touch-to-unlock. No more swipe.  Can be used for iTunes purchases. Reads fingerprint at very detailed level...500 pi, scans sub-epidermal skin layers.

 

iPhone has new deals in Japan: Launching at SoftBank, KDDI, and NTT Docomo for the first time.

iPhone announcing new deal in China in in about 11 hours from now ( its 2:10 eastern time here )

Agreed, here it is and it's available.

For other OEMs the international model comes out pretty quickly, I'm thinking Samsung specifically.

Not so fast.  Like it or not -- and I do not like it -- Apple runs the show.  Even if the new iPhone variants are only single or dual band on Sprint, Sprint will offer them.

Specs are up.

 

Edit: 5C as well.

[Mondays In Flames]

I think it's strange that they are doing away with the iPhone 5. It seems like a bad move :/

 

Overall, not impressed. Same phone, somewhat better specs. Oh well, maybe next time they will manage to surprise me

Yeah this makes me wonder if product launches for Android devices from Samsung, HTC, LG, Motorola are controlled by the carriers or by the OEM.  I feel that Apple has that power where they can just tell the carriers that they must launch at a specifc date or else they can risk getting later shipments.

 

Who knows if Samsung for example really wants to have the GS4 or Note 3 launch one month later than the announcement vs. 2 weeks later.

And Brian Klug just tweeted that the new iPhone(s) is not using the Qualcomm MDM9625.  So, presumably, that means no Category 4 UE and puts it behind the baseband integral to the MSM8974 (Snapdragon 800).  There is one of the first big revelations.

Correct, no band 41. Sad panda. =(
