I don't think it will be a phone (apart from a new, cheapo plastic one), I think it may be tv related.

Or maybe.......two new phones....5C cheapo.... and new one..

[Mr.OmegaMan]

iPhone 5C



Entire back and sides are made from one part.. of plastic

Exactly the same specs as the iPhone 5, but with a plastic back.

[MR MISTER]

So.....yet another disappointment........for those who care...

[Mr.OmegaMan]

iPhone 5S



Colours: Space Grey, Gold and Silver

5S battery life - 10 hours of talk time.. that's up 2 hours from last generation.

Made of high grade aluminium

A7 chip installed - 64 bit, It's over twice as fast as the iPhone 5, Graphics are 56x faster.

m7 - A new "motion coprocessor" runs alongside the A7 and manages the gyroscope, compass and acce
lerometer.



New camera has aperture of F2.2, 15 percent larger active area, New five element lens, Bigger pixels - better picture, So, no more pixels, just bigger ones...





"The camera app sets white balance, exposure, creates a "dynamic local tone map," "autofocus matrix metering" with 15 zones ... all automatically." True Tone flash..., Dual LED - orange light and white light helps white balance.

...Looks like i was correct..


iPhone 5S

"The common way is to set up a password or Pass Code"

But, Apple's introducing 'Touch ID'



Touch ID capacitive sensor, 170 microns thin, 500ppi resolution, scans sub-epidermal skin layers..

Laser cut sapphire crystal, surrounded by stainless steel detection ring, then the Touch ID sensor and the tactile switch underneath everything.

You can touch your home button to unlock your phone, Also, home button won's scratch, You can also use it to log in and buy apps from the App Store.



No more need for your iTunes pass word.



It can handle handle multiple fingerprints, and can read from various angles.

Finger Print ID is never available to other software, and isn't store in iCloud. It's a device only affair. Only your phone knows your fingerprint.

So 5s is £20 more than the old 5, and the 5c is basically a plastic old 5.  Why didn't they just say that.

[Mr.OmegaMan]

I don't think there's enough gain this time round to buy the 5s then sell the 5. iPhone 6 in 12 months time then

No single model change was ever enough to upgrade, unless you really were a crApple fan through and through. I just you could argue that the iPhone 3G offered 3G that was mysteriously missing from the original iPhone, and the 4 offered wifi tethering. But otherwise each new release has been minor evolutionary steps.

Never had a 3G/3Gs but i imagine screen resolution ain't great with it not having retina display  .. 1st iPhone was the iPhone 4 16GB BUT it had poor signal if you held it in a particular way main reason for getting 4S 16GB.. The iPhone 5 32GB more memory was needed, bigger screen and faster and better colour to the screen easier to read/see and better camera..

Resolution doesn't really mean anything on such a small device. Certainly not worth upgrading for.

Each to their own then i guess

Was expecting more tbh, can't see finger print stuff being much use.  Looks like a gimmick to me, what happens to unlocking phone during lunch? Use it when on car DIY work, so got gloves on then.

It's a bit faster, with a better camera. Think i will stick with 4-S for now.

Yep and most people have cases for them, I have one of these on the 5 as in the picture, Its a robust case ideal for use outdoors. But how would the fingerprint work with a case like this, and all the above...

[MR MISTER]

Well...investors weren't happy. Apple shares dived today.
