iPhone5S and iPhone5C
So, just announced. Gotta say I'm a bit disappointed the screen size is still the same but s'pose it's expected as the S model. A7 chip is about the only thing worth shouting about. Not that it even needs it.
Fingerprint scanner is a gimmick.

They need to do something to rekindle the brand, sure loads of people will buy them but there is only so long they can rely on the reputation and following they have
Just my opinion of course, had iPhones up until the 5 came out then switched to android phones and now just ordered the xperia z1

If it works reliably, quickly and doesn't break. I thinks its far better than what I have to currently put with;
I'm forever forgetting my App store password, and the keypad lock is a pain in the **** sometimes.
I would like to see a mini iPhone though. Bigger isn't always better.

Well, I've contact most of the providers, and they're all saying the same thing: can't get price/upgrade detail until 20th September.
Waiting game then (again).
And it's not a sure thing that I'll get one.

I see that iCloud is going to offer a key chain function to store your passwords and automatically enter them. Not that I would be one for storing passwords with financial details / buying options on such a tool. But for forums etc that would be handy. I never understood why the app store needs your password when downloading a free app.

Really dont understand the handset prices. £549 for a 5s 16gb and £469 for a 5c 16gb. Who would not pay the £80 extra to get the s? I cant see the c version holdings its 2nd hand value so anything you save up front would be lost long term anyway.

One thing to remember about the prices is that they are for unlocked devices, which don't have the, sometimes substantial, subsidies that the carriers provide. Not everyone will go for an unlocked device, as they could simply upgrade from their existing device and not wish to get out of an existing contract. When you look at this way, it does make a bit more sense
The C is also meant to be for emerging markets, and on contract it could well appeal.
Not sure if we're going to get a C at work, as it's pretty similar to the 5, if we do I'll check it against a 5S to see what it is like, as we will be getting an S or two due to the 64-bit nature of it.
I will be upgrading my 3GS for a 5S. why not a C? well, as you can tell, I don't upgrade that often, and so I'll get the highest spec model I can at the time. There is some hesitation as I know a 6 will appear next year, but I can hold off until the 7S or 8 is out for the next phone upgrade

Do people in emerging markets generally go for contract?
Not as far as I know
What they trying to do is pushing they're margins with a lot of marketing and the notion that you don't require a separate camera
