Walmart has announced that it will offer the 16GB iPhone 5c for $79 and the 16GB iPhone 5s for $189. $20 is a pretty substantial discount for a new Apple product, and the $79 price point makes the iPhone 5c actually sound affordable. Both deals require that you sign a new two year contract with either AT&T, Verizon Wireless or Sprint, and are in-store only. You may want to call ahead to verify prices and availability before heading down to your local Walmart, in case they sell out.

Apple will begin accepting pre-orders for the iPhone 5c on September 13, 2013. The plastic iPhone will be available in lime green, white, yellow, red and blue starting at $99 for the 16GB model, and $199 for the 32GB model. Apple is not accepting pre-orders for the iPhone 5s. It will be available in space gray, silver and gold at your local Apple store starting at 8:00 a.m. on September 20.

Accessory maker Case-Mate has launched a new line of high-end iPhone 5s cases for "him and her." The Designed for Him and Her collections include a wide variety of styles and prices. For example, you can add a little extra bling to your new gold iPhone with the rose gold Glam case for $50, or really splurge and drop $100 on the quilted leather and Swarovski crystal Madison case.

Case-Mate also offers more practical and affordable cases for all current iPhone models like the iPhone 5c, iPhone 4s and recently discontinued iPhone 5. You can even customize your own case with your own images for around $35, or choose from any of the other styles offered through Case-Mate.com.

Apple has spiced up its fatigued iPhone lineup with the colorful iPhone 5c, and a new line of colorful iPhone 5c cases. The iPhone 5c is less about being "low cost" like we were promised, and more about offering options to users who don't care about specs. Apple's iPhone 5c cases are available in all the same colors as the device itself (lime green, white, yellow, red and light blue) allowing you to match colors, or go with a secondary choice for a two tone look. You can use the official Apple iPhone 5c color selector to play around with different combinations.

The iPhone 5c cases are $29 each. Apple is also releasing a special iPhone 5c dock for $29. You can pre-order the iPhone 5c and its accessories on September 13th.

It's official. Both the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c will begin shipping on September 20, 2013. Apple announced the new handsets at its press event today in Cupertino, California. The iPhone 5s will cost $199 for the 16GB model, $299 for the 32GB model and $399 for the 64GB model on a two year contract from AT&T, Verizon Wireless and Sprint. T-Mobile customers can nab a contract free version of the new Apple phone for $549 (16GB) and $649 (32GB).

The 8GB iPhone 4s is now free on-contract and the iPhone 5c is $99 for the 16GB model, and $199 for the 32GB model. The iPhone 5 has been discontinued. The iPhone 5s will be available in black, silver and gold, and the iPhone 5c will be available in green, white, yellow, red and blue.

It looks like the rumor mill was correct in predicting that Apple would announce the iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s at its press event today in Cupertino, California. This is the first time Apple has announced two new iPhone models at the same time.

The iPhone 5s is the successor to the iPhone 5, while the iPhone 5c is a lower-cost plastic model for budget minded consumers. The iPhone 5c will be available in lime green, white, yellow, red and blue starting at $99 on contract for the 16GB model, and $199 for the 32GB model. It is powered by the same A6 processor as the iPhone 5, and features a 4-inch Retina display.
