I badly want that white iPhone 5C if it exists.

Couldn't care on the specs just love it for that old-skool(ish) polycarbonate Macbook look.

As long as it doesn't scratch up worse than a first gen Nano in a bag of cotton wool and fresh air then I'll be happy.
 
September 10th?

Apple will unveil its next iPhone on September 10, Though the date of the announcement has been revealed, it is unclear whether the event will focus singularly on the upcoming iPhone 5S or if it will include Apple's rumored low-cost iPhone possibly dubbed the iPhone "5C".

Why is the rumored low cost phone "dubbed" 5C but the new iPhone is known to be '5S'

How does anyone know that it will be called 5S?

Says Who!!! Please tell me, thank you

edit: don't tell me about 'patterns'
 
So iPhone 5S announcement on 9/10.

I predict: iOS 7 released on 9/18, iPhone 5S released on 9/20, Retina MacBook Pros sometime in October alongside the release of Mavericks, and iTV or iWatch (or both?) sometime in November. All in time for the holiday shoppers. Tim Cook has kept saying its going to be a big Fall for Apple...
 
I agree and I also think they can't afford to wait until March or April for an iPad Mini Retina either. By then the market will be saturated with low cost Nexus 7 which are cheap and have beautiful displays. I think we are slowly reaching a point where Apple can no longer count on their ecosystem to hold people to Apple products. Nice big bright super high resolution phones by the competition is slowing going to eat them up, plus their are the cheaper phones that have great specs too.

Doesn't Apple sell more iPads every quarter.
Am I missing something?
The Apple Ecosystem is the golden goose
 
They're out their minds if they don't introduce an iPhone 6 at this point. The competition is tougher than ever. I believe in Apple though !!!

What difference does it make if they call it the 5S or the 6????
(Hint: None.)

you're on the wrong site, you mean to post on MacTruths.com.

Hint #2: that's why this is called MacRumors.

It seems Apple is holding these events earlier and earlier from the 2011 October event. I wouldnt be surprised if next years iPhone 6 (or whatever) event is held in August.

October 2011 was an outlier. It was a supply chain misstep. The goal is to launch an iPhone at the very end of September, to get new iPhones sold during the very very end of Q3, to prop up those quarterly numbers with 5-8M phones sold in that week or so. And then the rest sold in Q4 as normal.
 
if a iPhone 5c is required to compete in places like Asia and South America, they should do it there. Bringing the 5c to the States will just devalue the brand imo...
 
iOS 7 needs a lot of work to be ready in a month or so.

What are you talking about? The beta I have is quiet stable(apart from safari crashes).

Also keep in mind the beta we have is probably well over 2-3 weeks old compared to internally
 
Excited. This is great news. Can't wait to see what Apple has in store for the 5s. Things are looking a little clearer now that we have rumours saying iPhone in September. I'm guessing...

September event - iPhone 5s and 5c, iPod lineup refresh, iOS 7 launch.
October event - iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2, OSX Mavericks launch.


They also need to upgrade MacBook Pro's, iMac's, Mac Mini's, Apple TV's and properly debut the new Mac Pro. I guess they could split these up between each event but I'm expecting the October event to be the Mac heavy one as All Things D suggests that the Sep event won't see Mavericks launched. It would only be logical for Apple to release as many new Mac's as possible at the same time as Mavericks.
 
Date sounds on the money. However still no confirmation of the fingerprint scanner.

there you go again with patterns

apple doesn't do patterns they do what ever feels right at that moment

you think this is a science

it is a bunch of guys just making things up

my main point anyway was
we used to fight about the name all day long but on this one no one ever suggest anything else

that the name is a given

I'm just surprised about that

lastly mactruths.com is a really boring site
