Looks so.......... unbelievably.... unapologetically.... unforgivably..... amazingly.... different.

it certainly deserves to exist too since it has the 'designed in California' logo

Wow. Breathtaking. Chills
 
ZOMG, teh colors. TEH COLORZ!!!!!

Seriously though, I'm surprised they didn't include color-coordinated charger, sync cable, and ear buds, but I understand why (costly). Still, it would have been a jobesque-like touch to the product like the old iMacs and Powermacs where the cables, mouse and keyboard all matched. I still have a Sawtooth and two Blue & White macs lying around and the components and cables were all color-coordinated.
 
I know in the EU Apple (and other companies) have to offer one but they don't have to supply it. Maybe this is a bold move by Apple and very welcome when you're out and about and need a quick charge!

It'd be better if it had a key-ring loop. With a tiny little thing like that, you'll need a place to put it or you'll never find it again (and no doubt the replacements are at least $20).

EDIT: Yup, $19.
 
The mini-USB adaptor would be nice to have in the states, but I don't see that happening...

That would mean supply hell...
 
I can top that, I remember when the iPod came with a Dock, Pouch, Felt Slip cover for the pouch, earbuds, CD, wall plug and USB cable dock connector that also plugged into the Mac.

Today we are graced with an iPod and USB cable for the Mac. Progress! :D

I feel the same (assuming you're not being sarcastic).
I love Mother Earth.
Everybody uses a case, making docks WORTHLESS.
I applaud Apple (as you do) for going with minimalistic packaging & reducing our environmental footprint!
Keep up the good work Apple!!
& thank you for pointing out the achievements we've made by not including bs that less than 1% of users would find helpful at all....
Now, if only we could get them to stop putting in those Apple stickers that everybody already has 100 of...

Save ££££s. just hang on less than 24 hours... Download IOS 7.0 for free. Voila. New look. New phone. No need to buy a half finished iPhone 6.

Sorted!:cool:

Awesome!!!!
I'm going to software upgrade my iPhone 5 to have a desktop cpu, fingerprint scanner, & amazing new camera.
Thank you for letting me know that was an option!!!
I almost just spent $199.

UnBoxings

There is NOTHING more painful than watching a low quality unboxing where the guy is only uses one hand because the other hand is holding the anything but steady friggin camera.

can't wait for iOS7 though

I'm not even sure I understand the point of unboxing videos. Show me the box, show me what's inside, then turn the thing on so I can see it in operation. I don't need to see every single cable or twist tie or piece of plastic overlay.

You do that. And spend it all again on the finished product next year.
That's the great thing about freedom of choice!
 
I keep going back and forth between:

I want the blue 5C > No get the 5S > No get the blue 5C > No just get 5 used, rather then 5C > get 5S you'll regret >
 
Ignore,

Am I the only one who thinks the 5S box is ugly? Why did they have the iPhone on the front have a plain black wallpaper? Since when does Apple do that? They usually do the standard wallpaper for the new iOS, which in the case of iOS 7 is that space galaxy wallpaper. What happend to Apple caring about every single detail? For god sake, Steve Jobs cared about the plastic that was being wrapped around the box, let alone the box itself!
 
ot to start the whole "Steve would have never allowed this" but it's seriously hurting them. However small updates are going to be, I miss the days when Apple events/keynotes were full of mystery and excitement. Nobody knew what was going to happen until the day Steve pulled out a shiny object from his pocket. Now they're painfully boring and basically just Apple confirming leaks. :(
When you outsource to another company, in another country, it's the risk you take. Apple was able to keep a tighter lid on the Mac Pro, because it's closer to home and people are less interested in the computer.
Remember, Jobs couldn't keep the details of the iPad from leaking before its intro.
Stop with this "Steve never would've" nonsense. :rolleyes:
 
I'm convinced macrumors and appleinsider are both on the take. As soon as iPhone news was released all news and rumors about every other Apple product made and abrupt stopped.
