iPhone 5s + iPhone 5c - the recap

So I hate to say "I told you so" but hours before the official release the predictions were in and it was like we had a crystal ball on our end, or maybe it was a rogue employee that drip fed us the information.

for legal reasons I must say neither of the two are correct, what we did do was sum up all the rumors and understand that it was too early for an iWatch and that the leaked iPhone 5c pictures were too real (and not wacky enough) to be fake, Bravo Apple for orchestrating yet another staged leak in the run up to a product release, everything from the itinerary to the date and time seemed to end up on the net before any official announcements.

Moving onto the tech, the biggest tech advance this season has to be the 5s' Touch id system, once set up it will allow a user + 4 other saved fingers to unlock their iPhone, make purchases from the apple ecosystem and work with apps that incorporate the feature, it is poised to be a simple alternative to tapping in a passcode, but could be limited by apples closed system, or may finally help passbook relaunch itself as a mobile keychain equivalent. 

  

The 5c has been launched by Apple as the cheaper alternative to the flagship models. the biggest problem here is whether the 5c is cheap enough attract the customers that Apple is trying to focus on. Many carriers may promote the 5c as a cheaper alternative, to the 5s and this may work against apples interests rather then for them.

I guess only time will tell what the outcome of this new endeavour is.

Stay tuned folks!
