He has no point. This is what happens every year with almost every tech device, car, appliance, etc. There are hardly game changing features every year. It's just complaining to complain.
Got a tip for us?

My dog understands logic better than an Android troll. Seriously, not worth the effort to try to help them understand by parallel comparisons.
lol i think your reading it a bit too much into it... as with much of the diehard cultists imo...
Only if its glasses free, if its not then no interested. It also better have retinal scanning to unlock the phone instead of that silly finger printer scanner. If I can't look at my phone to unlock it then they have already lost....
But... mainly if no blu ray then no me pay.

I hope Apple holds a mock funeral on stage for Android after announcing the insanely affordable 5C.
What is the perceived price of "insanely affordable"?
Then, what is the price of iPhone-like (I know, that's sacrilege) Android phones?
Exactly and what's even more important than you're already important post is you're passing judgement before the event even happens. Maybe you're afraid that Apple will have a winner here?
Interesting point. They used the bigger venue in San Fran last year. Maybe they figure we all know what's coming anyway from all the leaks and this way they don't build up anticipation more than they have to when they don't reveal anything we weren't expecting.
Yeah, Apple is sooooo boring.
Meanwhile, in the always exciting world of Android...
Google and Nestle announce Android Kit Kat
LOL! That's absolutely asinine.
Randomly positioned solid coloured circles, but some white rings with thick gray outlines, with a few hapharzardly piled up in the centre so they can reverse out the logo.
Colours from iOS7? Colours from the new phone models? Gonna be dull looking on the standard entry hall poster prints.
Every communication is an opportunity to re-inforce the brand. This communication screams "oh who cares, it's just the invite" or "get the icon guys to do it".
I have to agree. I mean if we had not seen all the iPhone 5C's in their entirety including instructional manuals and apple decals this invite would be hinting at the new colors. But based on the leaks this invite is crap. Honestly I don't even see how it relates in any way to the 5S.
Pretty disappointing invite.
The best thing for you is to know that you have lots of options when it comes to a cell phone.

Let me quote that on sept 10, this is Apple we're talking about.
Not arguing, but I see it as the opposite. Less expensive materials, easier to manufacture, less defects/rejects then the metal "luxury" model. I can see Apple making more money on the 5C then the 5S. And Apple sells nothing that they don't make money on, nothing.
Quite possibly you are right. But for me even those leaks are not 100% confirmed. But I take them as very plausible.
There is nothing to look forward for this event. There have been so many leaks. We have seen the colors, the package, the specs. The only thing we don't know is the price and maybe the release date.
Tim Cook has really doubled down on security..

I'm looking to buy a new iPhone this month. I have the money set aside for a 5S but for some reason I'm finding myself really drawn to the 5C for some reason.
I know it'll be cheaper, plastic and the specs will be lower but I just have an urge to have something a little different.

Well who could possibly argue with you when you're right on all counts. I mean, a company with over $100 Billion in the bank probably doesn't know as much about business as you do, you know, being the forum lurker that you are.
I was talking in general with this statement not just about this particular event. And you did clear things up. You say people think speculation (if from someone with a good track record) is confirmed fact. Good track record or not, it's still speculation and not confirmed fact. So you just agreed with my original general statement.
Glad to see you're on the same page as I am.

But you're not attending the presentation in Cupertino, now are you?
