Live Coverage of Apple's 2013 iPhone Media Event

Those who dreamed of free 5C (w/ 2yr contract) must be very disappointed. It's $99 for 16GB, $50 more than I expected...

 

[Ricezilla]

m7. Samsung has this.

 

[coolspot18]

64bit will be exciting for gamers. For those that use their phone for emails, photos and such - meh

Actually no, as games depend on raw clock speed more than 64-bit processing. In fact 32-bit processing is more than adequate for most games.

A bunch of you guys a really clueless!

Boring, Open GL 3.0 has been done by the Tegra 4, 64 bit is interesting but IMO utterly utterly utterly pointless on a 4" screen device.

 

[sransari]

i'm worried about the 5S pricing if the 5C is only $100 cheaper than what he have normally gotten used to seeing...

 

[eddystrasser]

No, 4 inches is enough

wife disagrees

 

[karmatourer]

Because it want one.

'we believe the iphone is an experience', i believe its a piece of puke coloured junk and is trying to copy android

AND WHY ARE THEY STILL MAKING THEM 16GB BASELINE MODELS?!!?

 

[PaulOBrain]

10 hours LTE browsing. Ha good one.

10:17 am iOS 7 launching Friday September 18th.

OMG, so there is a Friday September 18 after all...

Since apple is upgrading the cpu and device to 64 bit.. aren't u able to get more power for less "energy" increasing the battery life?

 

[iZac]

iPad? Altho I doubt it.

At least one of the ipads.

Colour me excited.

Continuously measures motion data, accelerometer, gyroscope, compass -- enables a new generation of health and fitness apps.

queue NSA applause

 

[tdream]

Motion co-processor sounds cooler and more difficult to comprehend than new accelerometer. You know accelerometers, they include them in $50 android phones.

The 64-bit will be handy on the iPad though, and I dare say any future Apple TV box.

 

[Ricezilla]

Battery life still sucks.

 

[Nishi100]

10 Hours battery. Yeah right! If the iPhone 5's battery's anything to go by, you might manage to squeeze 4 hours out of it.

 

[gigapocket1]

i'm worried about the 5S pricing if the 5C is only $100 cheaper than what he have normally gotten used to seeing...

Same pricing.. you will be able to get a 16 gig 5s or 32gig 5c at 199..

Ok - enlighten me why the average would care or benefit from a 64bit phone?

 

[roadbloc]

It's all an evolution dude. You jumping to compare color tones is missing the point completely.

Nokia didn't invent colored devices.

And Apple didn't invent the grid of icons but anybody else releases a product that slightly resembles an Apple one in some form or way and people are screaming 'copycats' until their faces turn blue.

Oh how the tables are rapidly turning with Apple's move away from skeuomorph.

 

[Smartass]

waw look at all those games! Too bad the screen is so small you wont be able to see whats happening anyways. No really, who brags with video games while introducing a new phone? Where are new features i dont care about that damn dragon.

 

[ri0ku]

Those cases....its like playing that game Connect 4.....

Seriously whats happened to design....

 

[lazard]

lol @ 10 hrs of LTE browsing.

[Noctilux.95]

What does the c stands for? Colour?

Stands for cash, extra cash.

It's going to be $299 for 64GB and $399 128GB. No 32GB 5S. My guess at least.
