Shame Canada won't get behind the times. We're still stuck with 3 year contracts for now which means our cycle is completely ****ed and we're stuck with out-dated tech.
Got a tip for us?

Yeah, that pesky Samsung must be why Apple's stock has dropped 3% now as well right?
True, but the 128GB on the 5S was almost expected. Didn't some coders find a reference in the iOS 7 code for a 128GB iPhone model? Plus, more than one "insider" predicted 128GB too. Too bad, that was my main target.
You know what, that was the first and I do mean first, thing I thought when I heard 64 bit.
AAPL stock dropping like its hot...
Probably because the 5C is a 5 replacement, rather than a $350 phone for China Mobile. They also didn't announce a deal yet with China Mobile, though I suspect that's coming soon.
Thank you.
A concept so many Android fanboys cannot seem to grasp. 8,452 MP doesn't make it a good camera. It means you can take a really big, terrible picture. The SENSOR is what matters, both in a phone and in a DSLR. There's a reason a Canon 1D is night-and-day better than a crop-sensor T3i.
Also, this. We use a 5-digit passcode. I enter my code no less than 30 times a day, even with changing my auto-lock settings to be as liberal as we're allowed to do. A quick scan of my finger is going to make my life a hell of a lot easier... especially if Siri plays nicely with Touch ID. Right now, using Siri is pointless as half of the functions require the passcode to access.
Yaw - Ya - YAAWWWNNNN!! - wwwn - wnnn
Excuse me, sorry. I couldn't help yawning while I was yawning in the middle of a yawn.
No AppleTV announcements?
No iPod / iMac / iAnythingElse updates?
I feel like I just got a sweater and a tube of toothpaste for christmas.

I just love how they replaced the fantastic, and still running strong iPhone 5, with an overpriced plastic piece of crap. I guess Apple realized they weren't making enough money off selling the most recent model and wanted a higher profit margin. Good thing I have a 5 and will be keeping my 5.
water resistant and a LED notification light for a start but i guess apple does not want to be called a copycat
you mean, a gentler one? i use led notification in my 4s. agree a slow glowing one would have been nice!
Very disappointed there weren't any game controller manufacturers invited to join Tim onstage, really looking forward to those coming out.
5C is nice, but the price is a rip off. Even if i'm not a billionaire 100 bucks is not a world shattering sum of money and i would get 5S (contract free).
So, No Surprises
I guess we pretty much knew everything before it was anounced.
I was hoping for two things:
128GB 5S
&
1080p Screen (even at the same size).
But I'm happy and will be getting my 64GB Black and Grey 5S next friday!

they should have included flavors into the plastic, so that i can smell better when the case will start melting as the battery is getting warm / burning the phone
I should have dumped my apple stocks too. I mind was telling me that Apple won't be the same ol Apple this year but my heart was telling me that they'll surprise us this year. They did surprise us but all in the wrong ways. I had every single iPhone released up to this point but not this year!
This is typical buy the rumor sell the news pump and dump. Unless Apple announced some big surprise, this was almost guaranteed. I sold all my shares at $500 a few days ago planning to buy back in later. I hate the fact there isn't a larger phone yet, but Apple still makes great products.
I don't play a lot of graphic intensive games on my iPhone, so realistically the performance improvements will make the OS a little bit smoother. Even though the processor is twice as fast, it's not going to make the UI twice as smooth/fast.
So I really see little benefit in upgrading. Twice as fast, but OS only a little smoother; iPhone 5 already really smooth. Same storage size. Improved camera; iPhone 5 camera already excellent. Fingerprint sensor; slightly more convenient than a passcode, but obviously much more secure. M7 chip which lets apps know when you're running/driving/walking, but they can presumably already do this by making their own calculations, this just makes it easier?
I can do without this upgrade easily! I'll feel less guilty buying the Xbox One at xmas now that I won't be forking out for a new iPhone

The 5C looks fine...
...as long as you get the white one. Those Candy Crush colors are borderline hideous. Maybe they'll be a hit among high school kids.
The gold 5S isn't my thing, either. But silver and "space gray" look good IMO.
