The iPhone 5c comes with a new design in five colors. Although it’s certainly a more affordable version of the iPhone, Apple stresses that it’s still just as well made and designed with steel reinforced structure, multiband antenna, and 4-inch Retina display.
A 16 GB iPhone 5c starts at $99 w/ 2-year contract.
iOS 7
Apple’s iOS 7 is the biggest change the software has seen since the original iPhone was released in 2007, featuring:
- New design with revamped icons and animations
- New features (Siri in male voice and iTunes Radio!)
- Command Center for easy access to settings
- New multitasking view and enhanced Camera (built-in filters) and Calendar apps.
Watch the official iOS7 video here to see what’s new! iOS 7 will be free starting on Sept. 18!
