Either the 64gb models are rare...or people decided to they wanted them more this time.
I can get 16gb grey models all day long. I did stop at an apple store on the way to run errands at target this morning...and there were 5 people in line, and I could have gotten a 64gb grey...they had ONE for att....but I want silver.
oh well, hopefully they ship our orders, soon.

Yea when I upgrade my 5 I'm going with 64gb or 128gb if they up the capacity.
The 1080p videos eat up so much storage.

I updated my 5 to ios 7 as soon as I saw the Block Contact feature.
And I finally caved in after years and years and got my daughter a 5s.

Since Apple TV was discussed in this thread, thought I would share this here...

Apple TV 6.0 quietly pulled following bricked updates, connectivity issues
If you haven't already updated your Apple TV to version 6.0, you'll have to wait: Cupertino has discreetly pulled the software upgrade. Although no official statement has been made, users on Twitter have been reporting connectivity issues and accidental resets throughout the weekend. An unlucky few even saw their devices bricked entirely. Now, manually checked boxes report that version 5.3 is "up to date." There's no word yet when a more stable version of the software will be available for download, but when it is, it should bring users the AirPlay from iCloud support (for devices running iOS 7) and iTunes Radio access Apple promised on Friday.

Chaos Computer Club says it's beaten Apple's Touch ID fingerprint reader (video)
Already feeling secure about using just your fingerprint to unlock the new iPhone 5S? European hacker association Chaos Computer Club claims it can be circumvented with "easy everyday means." According to CCC hacker "starbug", tactics laid out in a how-to from 2004 are all that are required, with just a higher res fake needed to beat the Touch ID reader. The process, as described, requires only a 2400 DPI photograph of someone's fingerprint which is then laser printed at 1200 DPI and used to create a thin latex sheet that serves as the fake.

Anyone who got a new 5c or 5s, were you presented with an opportunity to get iPhoto, iMovie and the other apps they mentioned being free with the new device?
I just remembered, I wasn't presented with anything to get them and install.

NYPD cops are walking the streets to promote iOS 7's security features
The New York Police Department is a big fan of iOS 7. According to several reports on Twitter, the department has officers out on the street distributing fliers encouraging iPhone owners to update to iOS 7, which has new security features that might just cut down on theft. Earlier this year, New York's attorney general called on Apple and other smartphone manufacturers to step up the tools they provide to prevent theft and facilitate device recovery. With Apple's latest update, it's made seemingly large steps in doing that.
"This is an important first step."
Devices running iOS 7 can be remotely secured when lost, making it so that a device's associated Apple ID and password must be entered before it can be wiped and used again. In effect, the new system could make an iPhone almost unusable when stolen, should the system work as planned. The NYPD is evidently hoping that it will discourage thieves, as so-called "Apple picking" theft has become a major problem. Last year, New York City's annual crime rate rose for the first time in two decades — a fact that Mayor Bloomberg blamed squarely on the theft of Apple devices.
The changes in iOS 7 have received praise from both New York's attorney general and the San Francisco district attorney. In a joint statement earlier this week, the two say that iOS 7 "is an important first step towards ending the global epidemic of smartphone theft." While they note that a reduction in theft isn't likely to come about overnight, they believe that tools like iOS 7's new remote securing feature, known as Activation Lock, are an important effort toward making smartphone theft a lot less fruitful.

Honestly, idk why it wasn't like this at the beginning. The ability to turn off tracking without first entering the password sounds stupid.
If Steve Jobs was around this never would've happened in the first place...

No back pedal here. I don't follow BMW. It's a stupid name no matter who says it, Apple was the first company I heard of to use it so I said something.
You're trying trying to justify the name by use the childish excuse of someone is doing it so why can't they, shit is weak yo!
