Apple Media Event - 10th September 2013

[today]

I wonder why they want to advertise the 4s over the 5.

The 5C basically replaces the 5

There's nothing worthy which warrants an upgrade to the 5C or 5S actually.

Clearly, Microsoft isn't doing so good so still,

It makes me laugh when a company like Microsoft directly attack another one on their adverts, like their iPad vs Surface ones.. It just shows how bad their doing that they have to compare directly, to make a mock.

You are so blatantly a fanboy... you have COMPLETELY ignored that Apple happen to do the exact same thing (in fact, if you watch the event, I believe it was Phil Schiller makes a joke about Android). Furthermore, HTC and Samsung, along with Google do it. Every tech company does it - although in this case, Nokia is clearly making a joke - which whether you like it or not, is pretty amusing.

So, after getting through work I have just watched the event. I have to say, I think the iPhone 5C looks beautiful. I love that sort of design, and imagine that will sell incredibly well (guys, HTC One X.. beautiful). However, in stark contrast, I really cannot remember ever seeing such a vile case for a phone (ala iPhone 5C case).

The 5S isn't a major upgrade, but still has some pretty decent features. The finger print scanner, if (and only if) it works as well as they showed is definitely an excellent addition. I would definitely like to try it, and find out how well it works. Not too sure on the champagne coloured iPhone, although I think it looks nicer than the silver one (personally, I would go for the grey type if I was getting the 5S). Cannot believe how much the 64gb one costs on-contract in the USA ($399 plus the usual 2 years of monthly payments!), although this may be no different to the old pricing. I thought the leather cases looked attractive on the 5S, and would definitely like to see how good they are to hold. I'm not sure going two separate ways (64 bit architecture etc) is a great move, as I would be concerned about the 5C ending up missing out on truly quality apps, although this may not turn out to be the case.

The last thing that I found rather amusing was the many HTC moments that flooded into the event. Larger pixels to gain more light is something HTC started with the HTC One. The automatic folders is something HTC did with the HTC One. There were a few more things, but off the top of my head I cannot remember them. I was surprised by the rather small auditorium, which brought back memories from the early noughties Apple event, although I guess it was for the inbetween phone between the 5 and 6, but even so.

the 5C looks like good value for money imo

Confused.

Could somebody summarize the new features for both the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C, just because I can't find an actual summary of features on any news website (that I've checked), it's all just waffling...

From what I have read though, it's still not changed my mind on moving away from the Apple ecosystem and onto a Galaxy S4.

Excellent comparison between the 5 and 5S here.. http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/10/i...whats-changed/

Can you please show an advert of Apple directly comparing it's product next to another? such as Microsofts surface by the iPad...

There's also a British version with David Mitchell!

Nokia should be careful about Apple suing them for making slight digs at competitors considering Apple is usually well versed in that. I was very surprised that there wasn't an Android KitKat related dig during the vent.

You see it all the time in America, companies just saying "YEP BASICALLY OURS DOES THIS BETTER THAN THIS PRODUCT" specifically targeting products... which you don't see that much in the UK, if at all.

Because it isn't legal over here!
