No pre-ordering for iPhone 5S?

 

[ElectronGuru]

It's $100 less. Remember, the 16GB iPhone 5 was $199 last year. The 5C is $99 on contract. It's exactly where the 5 would have been had they not released the 5C.

They likely created the 5c because the 5 was to expensive to produce at the discounted price.

 

[Aviboy97]

When can we download iOS7? That's what I really wanna know...

 

[Four oF NINE]

Damn.. I was looking forward to a 128 GB version..

 

[TimeSquareDesi]

Seeing as the Android OS has matured incredibly over the last two years - are you sure you're slinging an insult?

They've certainly made progress - I don't doubt it - but I will let the UI speak for itself.

 

[KPOM]

No pre-sales of the 5S? Supplies must really be tight.

 

[bushido]

ugh i wish people would stop buying iPhones for a while so apple gets their lazy ass up again

When can we download iOS7? That's what I really wanna know...

sept 18th, hopefully GM for devs tonight

 

[danpass]

Well .............. first iphone update I'm skipping since I started with the iPhone


Waiting for this :

 

[rovex]

the fingerprint thing is a bit like siri, OKAY but useless for the most part.

I know someone who cannot actually write let alone spell so siri was pretty much a god send there.

 

[Nishi100]

China make the damn thing, they should get them first!!!

 

[Satnam1989]

and they did what we all hoped they wouldn't....5S starts at 16GB with same price $199...

 

[iEnginerd]

Preorder

Did I miss the iPhone 5s preorder?

 

[Donoban]

iPad time... come on baby!

 

[ctone]

It's $100 less. Remember, the 16GB iPhone 5 was $199 last year. The 5C is $99 on contract. It's exactly where the 5 would have been had they not released the 5C.

Ok, I was just looking at the current price of the 5 which has been lowered.

 

[shyam09]

What does the C in "5C" stand for ... The 5S is obviously quite sexy (S = "sexy")

 

[lilo777]

Castrated fingerprint scanner. Is this really worth it? To buy crap on iTunes?

And who buys stuff on iTunes anyways?

 

[KPOM]

No pre-ordering for iPhone 5S?

I guess the rumors are correct that supplies will be tight at first. Perhaps they knew they'd run out and want to have some for the lines.

 

[kramjam]

Same sizes and prices as last year. Sad.

 

[roadbloc]

64-bit with entirely re-written apps, significantly improved camera, a fingerprint scanner that actually works. Sure. Uninspiring. They should have just come out with a 6" octa-core monster with an 82MP camera. Now that would have been "innovative."

The question I have is, with most people not even needing 64bit on their PCs, what use is it on a phone?

 

[PaulOBrain]

Disappointed the home button isn't a notification light.

 

[Nolbertos]

Aww, alittle bummed out that no 128 GB Iphone isn't coming out. Guess I'll keep waiting for the Iphone 6 next year

 

[dennno]

Yuck those cases are just ugly. No wonder they're hiring more designers.

 

[samcraig]

Exactly. It's not so long ago that the best DSLRs were only 8mp, and they were fine for purpose.

More megapixels means more pixels crammed onto a sensor, which means more noise. Not to mention stupidly huge picture sizes. All these people who want 12mp sensors, seriously how many of them are going to be viewing their pics at poster size?

exactly. The megapixel myth as I call it. Really - how many megapixels do you need for facebook and instagram. Not even 1.

 

[burningrave101]

Memo to thieves:

When stealing ones iPhone 5s, remember to grab the correct finger of the owner as well.

Great, now thanks to Apple I not only have to worry about someone stealing my phone but also them cutting off my finger when they do.

 

[ls1dreams]

LOL @ the iPhone STILL having 16gb in the base model.

That's now the 3gs, 4, 4s, 5, and 5s with the same core memory. Disgusting. No surprise though, since the $100 memory upgrade is one of their biggest profit centers.
