How can they justify such little innovation full stop - people will buy it though... just not many i suspect

Shows what they actually thought of the 5 in reality doesn't it, looks like even apple concede it was a pile of shite
Mobile tech generally has plateaued. All this nonsense about Apple not being innovative whilst everyone else apparently is, is nonsense. |

Looks like Apple haven't increased the price of the 5S in the USA. Looks like the price rise is just for treasure island - why do Apple like to rip off the British?
Maybe Carphone warehouse will sell it for £529 as they usually tend to be cheaper? All be it they lock the phones. |

By the way I haven't checked have they invented the HD screen this time round |

A pretty underwhelming launch of new iPhones today.
The 5C at £469 is a joke if it supposed to be a budget phone. At that kind of price point it is firmly in Galaxy S4 territory and that makes it look pretty poor value. It is in no way a device that will fuel demand for cost conscious customers to consider adopting an Apple product over a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini or HTC 1 Mini. The 5S has a quality look to it and will no doubt appeal to Apple customers looking to upgrade from 4S's. The branding will attract some but the spec is a let down and innovation seems to be in short supply. Apple appear to being doing little more than playing to their own fan base and offering features that play catch up with recent Android devices. I'm sure the iPhone 6 will be a phablet but it'll have to go some to beat the features that are now being offered on the Note 3 with it's Gear watch accessory. I can see Apple losing market share in developed nations with their current strategy, maybe they will gain some in developing nations with a suitably priced 5C? It looks like Apple will become a niche brand for smartphones just as they are for personal computers. High margin, low volume with just enough innovation and spec to keep them in the frame for those with a lot of disposable income who don't look too closely at the specs and put a lot of value in the brand. All things considered I think we have seen the best of Apple now in terms of mobiles, their product innovation looks tired and will shortly look dated as mobile use continues to grow with a demand for ever more powerful devices that can be used as mobile Internet terminals. |

On Radio 4 tonight they mentioned this new Iphone quoting a $99 price tag - I thought that impossible when I heard it and assume it's the charge US carriers will charge for the phone when on contract (it seems the norm for US carriers to charge something like $100 for a contract phone)

^^^ wave
Have to say I largely agree in some ways a real shame to see apple go this way, bit like a mad relative that you feel too guilty to put in a home even though you know its for their own good. Looks like it's all down to the android sector to drive forward innovation in the future. |

Three options here - you actually are six years old, you're drunk, or you're trolling. |

It is possible for someone to believe that Apple are being boring by not changing up the design much whilst also being true that if they then do change up the design that the new design is in the opinion of that person, rubbish. A new design has no guarantee of looking amazing to everybody. |

If they do go for a 6" and 12" Ipad as rumoured I think it would be called Ipad maxi and Iphone Maxi. The Maxi would have the same features as the 4" model making it like a Galaxy mini. Also I don't think the phablet market is for everybody. |
