In cursul acestei dupa-amieze, compania Apple a trimis un comunicat de presa prin care doreste sa readuca in atentia lumii intregi faptul ca noile iPhone 5s si iPhone 5c vor fi disponibile vinerea aceasta, pe 20 septembrie, in magazinele reteail si online ale companiei din tarile care fac parte din primul val de lansari. Cele 11 tari in care vor fi disponibile noile terminale sunt: Australia, Canada, China, Franta, Germania, Hong Kong, Japonia, Puerto Rico, Regatul Unit al Marii Britanii, Singapore si, desigur, Statele Unite ale Americii. Cei interesati sa cumpere noile dispozitive vor putea merge vineri la ora locala 8:00 la cel mai apropriat Apple Store (dintr-una din tarile mentionate mai sus) sau vor putea accesa Apple Online Store tot vineri, dar la ora locala 0:01 pentru a le comanda. Tot vineri ar trebui sa fie livrate si iPhone-urile 5c care au fost precomandate de cateva milioane de persoane din intreaga lume, dar si iPhone-urile 5s chinezilor care le-au precomandat.
Asa cum stiati deja iPhone 5c a putut si poate fi precomandat in oricare din cele 11 tari mentionate anterior, termenul de livrare diferind in functie de model si culoare. iPhone 5s a fost disponibil pentru precomanda numai in China, cel mai probabil din cauza unui stoc limitat, ceea ce inseamna ca pe 20 septembrie vom vedea cozi intermindabile la magazinele Apple si clienti nemultumiti ca nu au reusit sa cumpere noul dispozitiv. Numai utilizatorii din Statele Unite vor putea cumpara iPhone-uri si de la resellerii autorizati sau de la operatorii de telefonie mobila pe data de 20 septembrie.
In comunicatul de presa emis astazi, cei de la Apple mentioneaza pe scurt lucrurile noi pe care le aduc noile dispozitive, iar daca in cazul iPhone 5s este mentionat cipul A7 construit pe arhitectura de 64 biti, noua camera iSight cu True Tone flash si cititorul de amprente Touch ID, in cazul iPhone 5c suntem informati ca vine cu toate functiile pe care le stim deja (de pe iPhone 5), dar intr-o noua carcasa colorata. De asemenea, cei de la Apple nu uita sa mentioneze ca cele doua dispozitive ofera mai multe benzi LTE decat orice alt smartphone din lume. Mai multe detalii despre iPhone 5s aveti aici, iar despre iPhone 5c aici.
Din pacate, in comunicatul de presa publicat astazi de compania Apple nu se specifica nimic in legatura cu data lansarii noilor dispozitive si in alte tari decat cele mentionate, asa ca noi va trebui sa mai asteptam ceva timp pana cand le vom avea oficial in magazine. In cazul in care nu va intereseaza tehnologia 4G LTE de la noi din tara, atunci veti putea cumpara iPhone 5s ori iPhone 5c de la anumiti retaileri care le vor aduce in saptamanile care urmeaza. Mai multe detalii aveti aici.
