iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c specs
iPhone 5s comes with iOS 7, the most significant iOS update since the original iPhone, engineered for 64-bit technology and featuring hundreds of great new features, including Control Center, Notification Center, improved Multitasking, AirDrop, enhanced Photos, Safari, Siri and iTunes Radio.
iPhone 5s is available in three gorgeous metallic finishes including gold, silver and space gray. To complement iPhone 5s, Apple designed premium leather cases in six rich colors—beige, black, blue, brown, yellow and (RED)—with soft, color-matched microfiber lining.
Apple said that iPhone 5s makes it even easier to connect to high-speed networks with support for up to 13 LTE wireless bands, more than any other smartphone in the world.
iPhone 5c, the most colorful iPhone yet and the lower price version will be available in five gorgeous colors—blue, green, pink, yellow and white. iPhone 5c is built on a foundation of features people know and love like the beautiful 4-inch Retina display, blazing fast performance of the A6 chip, and the 8 megapixel iSight camera—all while delivering great battery life. It comes with more LTE bands than any other smartphone in the world, a new FaceTime HD camera, and iOS 7, the most significant iOS update since the original iPhone.
LTE is perfect for iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c
Those who will adopt the new phone from Apple will be benefitted with the widespread presence of LTE in the Philippines. Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the latest trend and considered as the real 4G technology to provide blazing speed of data connectivity as compared to 3G or HSPA+.

Moreover, Smart is the sole 4G LTE provider in Capiz, Iloilo, Leyte and Negros Oriental in the Visayas, and Misamis Oriental and Zamboanga Del Sur in Mindanao.
Meanwhile, Globe Telecom is currently expanding its LTE network to cover more key cities in Metro Manila. At first, Globe has just focused on “large contiguous area” like Makati City. Recently, Globe said that the company has activated more LTE sites and now available also in Pasig City, Quezon City, Taguig, Manila, Muntinlupa, San Juan, and Las Pinas.
Globe LTE infrastructure has also been established in Metro Cebu and Metro Davao as well as in select areas in the provinces of Bohol, Batangas, Negros Occidental, La Union, Rizal, Aklan Laguna, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Nueva Vizcaya, Cavite, Cagayan, Pangasinan, Isabela, Ilocos, Quirino, Tarlac and in key tourist destination Boracay.
