New Videos Depict ‘Champagne’ and ‘Graphite’ iPhone 5S Casings
Two new videos published today give a detailed look at the casings of the “champagne” colored iPhone 5S and the “graphite” 5S, which first showed up in photos earlier this week.
While there has been a non-stop stream of images and videos depicting the gold iPhone 5S, a video from TLD offers a good overview of both the casing and the structural differences between the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5.
As has been previously noted, the iPhone 5S features repositioned logic board screws and a larger flash cutout to accommodate a dual-LED flash. Placing the iPhone 5’s battery into the iPhone 5S casing, TLD notes that the amount of space available for the logic board has been decreased to increase the available battery space. A second video from BestTechInfo offers a view of the purported black and “graphite” version of the iPhone 5S compared to the existing black and slate iPhone 5.
When side-by-side, the graphite iPhone 5S is noticeably lighter in color than the existing black and slate iPhone 5, but as 9to5Mac points out, initial versions of the slate iPhone 5 were lighter in color as well. This suggests that the graphite iPhone 5S color variation may just be an early prototype rather than a new color that Apple plans to introduce. The iPhone 5S will retain the same form factor as the iPhone 5, but it will include a number of upgrades including the aforementioned dual-LED flash, an improved processor, and a fingerprint sensor. It is also rumored to offer a better camera and new picture taking modes.
Apple is expected to debut the iPhone 5S and the low-cost iPhone 5C at an iPhone event that will take place on September 10, with the phones shipping on September 20.

No iPads at Sept. 10 iPhone event, say observers
Don't expect a new iPad 5 or iPad Mini at the expected September 10 Apple event -- that's the consensus of Apple experts and observers.
After rumors surface Wednesday claiming that new iPads would be announced alongside new iPhones, Apple blogs responded: No.
9to5Mac said that "it contradicts everything we've heard thus far about Apple's fall iOS Device launch plans from our sources."
Gold iPhone 5S back goes under the knife

Gold iPhone 5S back goes under the knife!!
The life of a iPhone is not an easy one. Not only do you get photographed inside and out, but you are also susceptible to being scratched by keys, pocket change, and now knives.
The latest rough handling comes from Jailbreak nation, which appears to be the latest in a series of sites to get its hands on the rear shell of what is almost certainly the backside of Apple's next iPhone. It's by no means the first, but has maybe gone the furthest to test how durable Apple's latest gold color holds up to some extreme abuse.
That takes the form of a knife scratch test, which scrapes up the back of the purported iPhone 5S to show how it holds up to cosmetic damage. Notably the test does not cover drops, something that could crack your screen, and possibly lead to a nonfunctional device.
You can watch the whole clip below:

Apple revamps its AppleCare contact page, adds chat options
Apple has updated its online support site to now include chat among other options for communicating with Apple technicians and support personnel.
Apple's support options for its customers have been enhanced over the years. While it has always had telephone support and maintained a community support forum, it has added alternatives as well.
With the introduction of its Apple Retail Store program, its Genius bar and support staff have provided an in-person experience for solving problems with Apple products, and more recently it changed its online support options to include a service called "Express Lane," where you can quickly narrow down your support needs based on the product, functional area, and specific symptoms.
Recently, Apple revamped this service to provide a more streamlined approach and offer additional ways to interact with Apple's official support teams.
Now when you visit the Apple Support site, the "Contact Apple Support" section will guide you through the options to find solutions, using a simple and straightforward interface. After clicking the Get Started button, you will see a menu of all the major Apple product categories. Clicking one will show relevant subcategories of products, and when you eventually choose the one you have, you will be met with categories of problem areas, such as "Startup or Power," "Keyboard & Trackpad," and "Printing, Faxing & Scanning."
When you select your category, a menu of common problems will show up, along with an option for problems that are not listed. Clicking any of these categories will result five options to contact Apple, starting with having Apple call you immediately, scheduling a call, calling at a later point, scheduling an in-person visit, or chatting with an Apple employee. Note that your computer's serial number will be required to validate your AppleCare status before you can proceed. Apple currently provides complementary 90-day phone support with new products, though this will likely change as it revamps its AppleCare offerings with subscriptions and other enhancements.
In addition to the contact options, Apple provides links on this page to its support communities and relevant knowledge base articles.
This change should help folks experiencing problems get in contact with relevant support teams, so if you are experiencing problems with your Mac, iPhone, or Apple software, consider visiting the Contact Apple Support site to narrow down the problem and get in contact with someone who can help.

Some users denied access to iWork for iCloud
Apple's iWork for iCloud service may be inaccessible at times for some users as Apple deals with an overwhelming response to the service.
At WWDC in June of this year, Apple introduced iWork for iCloud, a service that brings a large number of the features in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote to iCloud.com, making documents, spreadsheets, and presentations accessible and editable through most major browsers.
This service was at first limited to developers, but Apple sent invites to a number of Apple customers, allowing them to use the beta release of iWork for iCloud. However, it appears Apple did not anticipate the popularity of the iWork suite, which it describes as being overwhelming, and resulting in some users being limited in access to the suite.
When logging into iCloud.com to access Pages, Numbers, or Keynote, some users may be met with an error message that denies them access to the service, and claims that an overwhelming response is the cause. While the programs themselves will not be accessible during this time, you should still be able to use desktop and iOS versions of the iWork suite to access your documents stored at iCloud.com.
Hopefully Apple will increase the capabilities of its iWork for iCloud servers, and get everyone who uses it a smooth and seamless experience, though in fairness the service is still branded as a beta, which inherently brings the potential for problems like this.

What New Features Will iOS7 Have?
What has happened to Apple? With Steve Jobs gone will it survive? The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) took this place in June and we all eagerly awaited great news... After all, Apple is the leading trendsetter right?
Finally our wait has paid off. iOS7 is due out fall of 2013. The main differences are the security features as well as a new and improved operating system. Some of the new features are as follows:
Auto update - Apple has always been known for its ability to fight off malicious malware and now it is able to update silently and automatically. This is an important function since in the past coders were able to trick users with update notifications and having them download malicious malware.
Activation Lock - Stolen devices were a large concern for users. The new activation lock prevents theirs from wiping the device clean or deactivating the find my iPhone feature. The iPhone will stay in Lost mode when you lose your phone and are forced to remote wipe it.
Safari's "Do Not Track" -This allows users to request that servers not track them - nice to have.
Per app VPN control - A VPN feature will be offered in the upcoming IOS7. The apps will configure automatically to a VPN once opened. This is nice since the data for the app will be transferred whereas other data will not.
Key chains - Thank goodness for this feature!! Password management in iCloud that will create secure passwords. Synchronization across devices is allowed for not only passwords but other confidential data. I don't know about you but my password management is less than optimal. Will this be better? We shall see. I feel as if I waste more time here than anywhere. Yes it is important, I got that, but make it easier for the user!
Improved mail- Seriously? I hope so, I have tried more and more mail clients on my Mac and still never found the right one to work well with my Mac. This will allow Microsoft Exchange 2010 users to sync notes with Outlook on their Mac or PC.
Caching Server supports iOS7. This results in faster download speeds. Updates and purchased content will be cached on a local Mac server. This will increase download speeds but double the amount.
Audio-only: FaceTime calls. This be a built-in VoIP and allow free long distance and international calls. You will be able to voice chat over Wi-Fi without a phone plan. I am sure Verizon and Att&t will not be pleased.
Inclinometer: Previous versions of iOS brought software support for the gyroscope and accelerometer; now it looks like iOS 7 will get the latest in 3D space-tracking technology: an inclinometer. Not sure if I will use this!
Call blocking: iOS 7 will have the ability to block phone numbers and email addresses.
Siri updated: Siri will be updated in many ways. She will be able to answer more questions and complete more complex tasks such as a full twitter integration and system service options. I personally never use Siri... we don't get along.
Improved notification sync and natural language: IOS 7 will sync all of your devices and in addition it will present your daily activities in natural language. Kinda like having Siri tell you your day ahead.
Faster: Caching Server supports iOS7. This results in faster download speeds. Updates and purchased content will be cached on a local Mac server. This will increase download speeds double the amount.
Auto updates for apps: With OS7 you will not need to manually update your apps. They will automatically update.
Developer APIs: There will be 1500 new developer APYs in iOS7.
60fps video: The new video will supposedly shoot at 60 frames per second.

Iphone 5S:
iPhone 5S: Display
Apple is going to fit a Super HD screen on iPhone 5S, and according to the China Times, it will also feature a 'Touch on Display' with a 10-Point multi touch panel. It should, however, be noted that China Times have not always hit the mark with their speculations.
iPhone 5S: Design
As earlier noted, the design of iPhone 5S is not expected to veer so much from the course taken by iPhone 5. The chassis is definitely going to be the same, unless Apple has a wild card up their sleeves which is somewhat unlikely.
It has however been rumored that Apple are seeking to procure a cheaper plastic from their usual preference. This, of course, is set to reduce the cost of the phone they would be making. There are, however, rumors that suggest that this move has nothing to do with iPhone 5S. In fact, many are of the belief that Apple are working on a cheaper brand dubbed iPhone Math. The story is that this phone is designed to cater to the needs of a different market base for Apple's usual customers.
iPhone 5S: Camera
iPhone 5S will feature a 13MP camera and a bigger and brighter flash. This is according to the update received on iLounge earlier in the year. This update is a significant step from the 8MP on iPhone 5, but it will not wow many people as we have already seen a similar feature on Samsung Galaxy S3 and HTC One.
iPhone 5S: NFC
In the past, many analysts have said that Apple will eventually make the switch to NFC and Apple has proved them wrong every time. In fact, iPhone 5 featured passbook which is an almost similar feature. Nevertheless, rumors now suggest that Apple will make the switch with iPhone 5S.
In addition to the NFC, it is expected that iPhone 5S will incorporate a finger print scanner in iPhone 5S. This rumor is backed by Apple's move of purchasing the mobile security firm AuthenTec. The fingerprint scanner is a feature that was expected to be on iPhone 6 but we might see an early test run on iPhone 5S.
iPhone 5S: Software
According to some sources, Apple has already started testing iOS 7 on some devices. Therefore, we could expect a pleasant surprise on iPhone 5S as the Smartphone could run on iOS 7.
iPhone 5S: Wireless Charging
Rumor has it that Apple has had a breakthrough in the wireless charging technology as they recently filed for a patent on the same technology. Therefore, we could expect iPhone 5S to feature wireless charging which would be super convenient.
While these rumored could as well be unfounded, stay tuned to get the latest rumors on iPhone 5S.

The iPhone 5S Rumors
One of the leading Smartphone manufacturers, Apple, is indeed hell bent on dominating the Smartphone market. One would expect them to at least hold off on manufacturing a new phone so soon after their last release. Well, it seems that is not part of their ethos. Only 6 months after iPhone 5 was released, fresh rumors were hitting the market that a new iPhone was in the process of being manufactured. If this rumor was true then the most probable phone to expect is iPhone 5S. This assumption is largely based on their past trend of releasing the 'S' range soon after the original model.
The rumors are not all centered on iPhone 5S, there are some who believe that Apple is working on iPhone 6. This is not impossible as it would be an appropriate response to Samsung's Galaxy S4. However, iPhone 5S is the more likely of the two. As it was in the previous 'S' phones: iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4S, the changes that would be made to the phone are not drastic enough to deem it a new phone altogether. iPhone 5S should have a few hardware improvements and some software tweaks but nothing too major.

New iPhone will be gold, but 'think champagne, not ingot'
Gold colouring expected on high-end iPhone update, the new iPhone 5S
The latest product releases by Apple this September seem certain to include both a new high-end model (the updated 5S) and a budget option (possibly named the iPhone 5C). However, one rumour that refuses to go away is that a new colour options will also be offered: gold.
The idea of a gold option has caused quite a bit of upset, with many Apple-fans complaining that it would be too ostentatious for the brand’s traditionally minimal design. However, multiple pieces of evidence have corroborated the claims, albeit with the caveat that the exact shading will be “elegant”.
“Think champagne, not ingot,” said a source speaking to tech blog AllThingsD.
(see above for an actual gold iPhone, image courtsey of goldgenie.com)
It was also noted by Apple rumour site iMore that gold is “among the easiest colors to anodize onto an iPhone.” Anodizing is the process whereby aluminium alloys are tinted with various shades.
Incidentally, black is one of the hardest colours to apply in this way, which is why the latest iPhone comes in a ‘Slate’ shade, rather than the deeper black of previous models.
The new gold colouring is expected to be similarly muted, featuring a white face above and below the screen and gold colouring on the edges and backplate.
Whilst the updated high-end iPhone 5S will come in subtle colours it’s expected that the cheaper, iPhone 5C model will be offered in more lively tones. It seems certain that the budget handset will have a plastic case, making it easier to offer in a range of colours.
Analysts believe that this handset will boost Apple’s sales in developing markets such as China, where cheaper devices sell in greater quantities and colour options are seen as more of a draw for consumers.
Both devices are expected to be announced by Apple on September 10th.
