They’ve never live streamed these before - why is this coming as a surprise to you?

I believe they live stream this last year. I remember watching foo fighter doing a closing. Then again I may be wrong. Lol.

Look Apple really did announced iPhone 5[c]heap.
 
widescreen video is a feature?

Would you rather they say "This is basically a cheap version of last year's iPhone 5, made of plastic with cool colors and cases, made to higher quality standards than any other plastic phone though"
 
Chill - likely means you get iPhone 5 internals in a plastic shell for cheaper.

Nope, its a new internal design and uses A6. Not even remotely close to the iPhone 5.

it's a new model - we all knew this would be the case months ago.
 
The case is pretty horrible. The circle cut outs going down the back looks ridiculous and all sorts of dust, hair, etc. is going to get caught in there.
 
iPhone 5c - 16GB is $99, 32GB is $199 with two-year contract.

What if you're someone, like me, who can't shell out $200 on a contract for the 5S but doesn't want a cheap plastic phone in, frankly hideous, colors? I just wanted a nice, metal, black iPhone. The iPhone 5 fit that bill perfectly if the price dropped. Now I either have to stumble across a ton of money for the 5S or be stuck with a plastic iPhone.
