Apple iPhone 5S Price In India Is Rs. 1 Lakh At The Grey Market - Worth It, Folks?
Though there's still time for Apple to finally launch its latest iPhone 5S in Indian market, fanboys can own it now for an asking price of Rs 65,000 to Rs 1,00,000- depending on the city you live in and on who you deal with. Finding iPhone 5C is difficult though, as the grey market dealers state that there's negligible demand for it. But interested folks may turn to trusted website eBay to pocket this device at Rs 55,000/-. All these devices are factory unlocked, so forget the promise of an official warranty.
All latest iPhones manage to attract a great demand in Delhi's Gaffar market and Mumbai's Heera Panna and Alfa markets, as usually the handsets are introduced months after the international launch. With Apple being regarded as a premium device that ups people's status quotient, these material-minded folks don't think twice before shelling out big bucks on these devices. But this time the prices have shot high up, especially for the gold-colored and champagne-colored iPhone 5S model.
A Delhi based retailer had this to say- "There is a huge demand for the champagne-colored iPhone 5S. I just sold a piece with 16GB storage to a person in Patna for Rs 1,08,000 through eBay, but it is the 64GB model and is at an asking price of Rs 1,70,000. iPhone 5S in white or space grey is cheaper. I can give you the 64GB model for Rs 1,30,000." The prices reduce outside Delhi, but the reduction is not very significant. A Hyderabad-based phone dealer who manages online website Lets-Go-Digital stated the gold iPhone 5S 16GB is available with him at Rs 1,05,000, while iPhone 5S grey was availabl at just Rs 77,000.
Rather that shelling out this much on a device that's not a major upgrade over its earlier devices, it's better people find their status bling in other brands. Understood that Apple is the awesome Apple, but money doesn't grow on trees, right?

iPhone 5S TouchID fingerprint scanner hacked with a simple trick
Apparently, it didn't take much of technical wizardry to hack the Apple iPhone 5S biometric fingerprint scanner. German group of hackers that goes by the name 'Chaos Computer Club' aka CCC posted a video onYoutube (see below) showing how easy it is to break the security offered by the fingerprint scanner. All it took to fool the scanner was a fingerprint of the owner photographed from a glass surface. The group posted their achievement on the blog (source link below) and claimed that biometrics isn't suitable as access control mechanism.
Frank Rieger, the author of the post & spokesperson of CCC says that Apple's fingerprint scanner doesn't offer any security enhancements over its rivals. It's just a scanner with higher resolution than the existing ones. The hackers took a photograph of the authenticated user at about 2400 dpi. The photograph was then cleaned up and the printed on a transparent sheet using thick toner settings at 1200 dpi. Finally, pink latex milk or white wood-glue was smeared into the pattern created by the toner on the sheet. The sheet was then breathed on to make it a bit moist; to mimic the real finger and was placed on the sensor area. The sensor couldn't figure out the difference between the real owner and the hacker.
Frank further says that it's stupid to use something you can never change and leave everywhere everyday as a security token and says that the biometric technology designed for oppression and control and not for security. He appealed to iPhone 5S users to avoid protecting their sensitive data using biometric fingerprints only.

Awesome iPhone app ideas
When people ask what I do, I used to tell them that I build apps. I soon learnt that this short-sighted response is a common segue to that person’s ‘awesome iphone app idea’.
Every man and his dog has an earth shattering idea for a ‘game changing’ app. Apparently these ideas escaped thousands of extremely talented and bright Apple iOS developers; yet the proverbial apple fell on your mate’s head while they were sinking beers at a pub. After making your ears bleed, this person then generously offers to ‘go you halves’ in this aforementioned venture. Cheers.
A recent taxi ride saw a cab driver (with Honours in Software Engineering no less) peppering me with questions on costs and timelines in regards to iOS apps. I’ve never even pushed a pixel on a mobile app, I focus more on web, but as a keen conversationalist I reciprocated. Out of curiosity I asked him a few questions on his idea. He became cagey. I’m not actually sure what fuels this fear, but people seem to think that idea’s are something that can be jotted down on a napkin and turned into a million dollars. Maybe this scene from Italian Job helped it along.
What springs to mind is a question on stackoverflow where someone asked how long it would take to build a typical iPhone app. Twitterrific was the app used as an example. Readers began estimating the piece of string and 160 hours quickly got voted to the top. This thread started to get some coverage which lead to an actual developer from the Twitterific development team putting in his 2 cents.
Chockenberry went on to ballpark the cost of developing Twitterific at 1100 hours + existing code base for a conservative total of $200,000. It’s important to remember that most of what this app does is echo out what’s already coming from Twitter. It’s no Angry Birds or Bejeweled. Mark this cost down not as development, but execution.
The notion that ideas are worth nothing has been written about to death. Derek Sivers gives this movement some metrics in his seminal blog post, Ideas are just a multiplier of execution. The article suggests that a brilliant idea with poor execution is worth $2000, whilst a brilliant idea withgreat execution is worth $2,000,000. You can see why I felt like I was getting my pants pulled down in the opening paragraph’s offer.
Ideas don’t have to be original. First to market is not a stand alone strategy. Facebook wasn’t the first social networking site. Google wasn’t the first search engine. And Steve Jobs was more of a tweaker, or curator, than an inventor.
Apps that go gangbusters certainly get romanticised and there’s no doubt the story travels far and wide. The App Store took three years to reach 15 billion downloads. From that point it only took 8 months to hit 25 billion, which takes us to today.
Apple's Sneak Attack on Gaming Is Now in Play
When Apple quietly introduced 64-bit processing and the M7 coprocessor in its iPhone 5s, I sat up a little straighter. Apple just delivered a big boost in computing power in two ways: First, 64-bit processing means more realism, smoother action, bigger worlds. Second? When combined with something like the Logitech MFI iPhone controller, might the M7 coprocessor be used for gaming in new ways?
Back in June, Apple let a silly game demonstration take center stage at its Worldwide Developer Conference, and it released a new game controller framework with instructions on how developers could build physical game controllers. The two together led me to believe that an Apple sneak attack on living room gaming was imminent.
Since then, two more elements have risen to the surface, and now I think the sneak attack is well under way. What is that sneak attack, exactly?
Apple certainly recognizes the importance of games on iOS -- not only for flat-out revenue, but for mindshare and ecosystem-building as well. If the world plays with you, people will spend more time and money with you. Pretty simple: Apple will enhance gaming with iOS because it's inextricably connected to its entire ecosystem now.
