    I will keep my 4s, no point me upgrading to a 5 from a 4s and the only thing the 5s has to offer me is a fingerprint reader. My 5 year old laptop has a fingerprint reader and i never use it, its just a gimmick really. Ok it my be capable of 4G but even that is not even complete over here yet.

    As the 4s will get ios 7, and im not even sure i want it whats the point in upgrading.

    I don't like the look of iOS 7. As for the iPhone 5S, it's an attractive handset, but very expensive. I'm put off by its poor battery life, the lack of microSD card support and the fingerprint scanner (which vibrates). The NSA has probably collected enough of my personal information already.

    iPhone 5C ... £469 in UK ... bargain?

    Bloomberg and CNBC were covering and analysing Apple's product launches this evening and for a supposed mid range phone, the 5C does have a high end price :eek: although contract deals would offer better value for money.

    That said, the 5C is unlikely to be a game changer for Apple at those sorts of prices so no, I won't be buying one.

    No chance, I would rather stick with my Galaxy S3 until the S5 comes out next year.

    apple is so snob and arrogant , they make u install quickview something. it s curious that this is required only when the problem is concerning apple... I have never found another site or video to ask for this program ever , so , no thank you , i m not installing extra crap soft from apple just to see a video. youtube plays billions of videos every day and never asked me for nothing. I think apple should model itself on the public , not the other way around.

    YouTube will be replaced with HTML 5 probably only reason it hasn't already is due to fact you would be able get around ads a lot easier and google wouldn't like that.

    But kind of agree they should of had it in a more well known program.

    no no no..... i don t agree.... it s not about html 5 or flash.

    I don t mind installing a plug in , but apple make u install the whole program. did it once before and the quick time crap screwed everything , installed a new video player. why? the hell with them...

    the should install a simple basic plug in that runs in the background and takes 2 secs to install , NOT a whole suite of programs to forcibly make me use it.

    also , the apple website with the keynote does not say it wants me to install a html5 decoder.

    Do apple provide any engraving on the gold phone for free ... Such as names like chantel or maybe limited to less letters say mum or dad .. I'd be very interested is so.

    I don't understand their strategy at all. The 5s is not dramatically different, and the 5c appears to be a cheaper looking phone that is really surprisingly expensive..is that a selling point ?
    I thought they would have come up with a genuine mid-range Apple phone, the £460 price means it's still a premium product to most people.
    I'll wait for the next one thanks, hopefully with a (slightly) bigger screen.

    I expect they thought that if other manufactures can get away with selling plastic phones and calling it quality, so can they:)

    There are a number of reviews now up on the 5c and they seem pretty positive about the look and feel of the phones.

    But are they from the usual suspects? ;)

    I don't know, who are the usual suspects?

    Which review sites would meet with your approval?
