Goodbye.
Guys, we put all the gimmicks of Samsung's phone into our phone, but let's forget about poking fun at them for having gimmicks because ours is not gimmicks, it's new camera innovation!

I know the samsung shoots 120fps...but does it allow for selective speed ramping as this apparently does? (I honestly dont know)...because that is actually a big deal, coming from the film world.
And the being able to use the fingerprint sensor to not only secure your phone but to authenticate for purchases...
Also...I like the idea of the two tone flash, we'll see how it really works.
The secondary processor for motion...awesome.
People can hate and bitch all they want, but you can't say apple didn't "innovate" this time around.

are you serious?
these features are nothing new....they have been out there and is just a little software "upgrade" if you will....
Apple always holds back features....the first iphone only allowed for taking pix and not videos....in the next iphone (3G) they said "now you can take videos" whereas even the dumbest motorola phone had video capability....
I am surprised at how apple fans are surprised at the new surprising features....

well the IMO the iphone 5C is worthless....the Iphone 5s is decent with the 64bit processor and the fingerprint scanner....
all my laptops have a fingerprint scanner but i never use it....
it will be funny if you cant use your thumb as a 'finger' and you have you use your index finger....it will make the phone a 2 hand operating phone, worse than the 6.3" Samsung Mega LOL
and if you are working on the car and slit your finger, well you wont be able use this "innovative" feature until the finger heals up LOL
EDIT: shit...he is here....

WOW....$400 after a 2 year contract....now that is really "break through"

I dont think this is an upgrade from the iphone5....guess we will wait for the new one....

Keeping 4S around? Thought it would've been 5, 5C, and 5S

I'll say it again...just because you put some feature into a piece of tech, doesnt mean it was done well.
Apple may usually come later to the game, but the implement the features better.
Swoosh...now you're starting to sound like a whiner and hater.

Don't understand keeping the 4S and not the 5. Would have allowed to start phasing out the 3.5" screen.

Sarlacc....sorry buddy, I just got in a silly mood....
am not a hater, am just disappointed....I was really hoping to see something new....I know you did mentioned something new doesnt not mean innovating on every device...but i dont think there has been anything new (other than upgraded camera and shooting modes) in the previous 3 years (make it 4, hoping the iPhone6 will come out with something nice)....

Goodbye.
Don't really know you, or care to argue with you Sarlacc, but the problem is not what you are stating. The problem is that Apple always tell everyone that they are the first ones to do it. While it may be true for the 64-bit processor, everything else is false. Just calling it by a different name or putting the letter "i" in front of it, does not mean they invented it - just the name. If they acknowledged the tech and told people they were making it better, then it wouldn't be so painful to watch.

All they said was the 5C will have pre-orders on the 13th and both go on sale on the 20th.
I wonder if they expect the 5C to out sell the S this time around.
And if the morons havent paid attention...the 5C was primarily created for the Chinese market...because of they operate over there....notice how they just had to point out the first time sales in China for release day...

Fingerprint thing is cool, faster processor is good, worth going from 5 to 5s, not sure.

2) you dont think the other companies dont pull that crap?
You guys are just haters because there is a company that knows how to do it on a grander scale and generate excitement for it.
You all just like to sit there and yell at people how you had to walk 10 miles to school in the snow with no shoes.
Wake the fuck up.

Nice updates, nothing awe-striking about any of them at this point. I do like the fingerprint sensor, I enjoy using it on my laptop.
I'm very much hoping for a 4.5" or 4.7" device next year. That would make me jump back.

The price of the phones is nothing new...never has been.
I paid $600 for the original iphone on release day. I dont remember what I paid for the 3G...I paid $399 for the 32gb 4, 3 years ago...And I'll pay for the 64gb for me and my wife for these phones.
Why...because we take a lot of photos/videos of our toddlers with it, the memory will be nice.

Only noteworthy things for me were Touch ID, M7 processor, and multiple photos burst and analyzing for best photo

NFC is a little more relevant in Europe but not too much to want it.
