I might get a 5C for my birthday (this month), would be a nice upgrade from my 4S.
[QUOTE=Pawnstick;42145965]sansurng, start your photocopiers[/QUOTE] Not much to copy. The SGS4 is already available in a range of different colors. And other than the fingerprint thing I don't see much other features to copy. Hell, I'd go as far as saying Apple actually borrowed some features from the Galaxy series and put them in iOS7.
Sweet, now the NSA can get everyone's finger prints too!
Introducing the iPhone 5S with a 64 bit operating system with none of the benefits of 64 bit.
[QUOTE=SparkDog;42146249]Sweet, now the NSA can get everyone's finger prints too![/QUOTE] I left the /g/ thread on this to avoid posts like these, and now they're here
I am fucking glad I just bought a Galaxy S4 that's for sure.
[QUOTE=SparkDog;42146249]Sweet, now the NSA can get everyone's finger prints too![/QUOTE] Finger prints are stored locally tho.
[QUOTE=OogalaBoogal;42146576]Finger prints are stored locally tho.[/QUOTE] That's what they say. To be honest after all this NSA shit I really don't trust many companies words on things like that.

While I think the Iphone 5C is a ok idea, the color selection and case is pretty shit. Those colors are light but too dull and grayish. Like what the hell? I was expecting a much bigger selection sinces its only plastic. Iphone 5S is pretty cool. So is iOS 7 even though the UI looks more ugly than cool and minimalistic. Hopefully Apple added better customization options other than just wallpapers to fix this.
Having used iOS7 for months before I got my S4, it did nearly nothing new apart from look like a fluro mess.

[QUOTE=nigerianprince;42143736]Hugely minor upgrades. Still the same size screen. I don't really see any stand out feature that makes this a worthwhile upgrade except for perhaps the fingerprint scanner, but besides that its just minor under the hood upgrades. The fingerprint tech looks nice, but its still something that has existed in various forms before (I had the Microsoft fingerprint scanner ages and ages ago); it'll suck when Apple has patented the shit out of yet another thing that has already existed for a long time.[/QUOTE] If they were to increase the screen size it'd lower the PPI/screen density. The current resolution is also a perfect multiple of the original iPhone's (minus the new aspect ratio) so scaling is perfect.
Apple stock falling. Looks like they can't rely on silly gimmicks any more.
[QUOTE=Mors Quaedam;42146879]It looks like some cheap chinese ripoff iPhone device.[/QUOTE] It's official concept of IOS 7 I believe. Looks exactly like what IOS7 does now without it looking overly feminine.
[QUOTE=Leaf Runner;42147009]Apple stock falling. Looks like they can't rely on silly gimmicks any more.[/QUOTE] As opposed to Samsung? Did you even give that statement an ounce of thought?
[QUOTE=Starship;42145711]Only about 7 albums FLAC, rest are 320KB/s MP3s, but I got like 50 different bands/artists and so many albums I can't count them. Edit: checked folders on poweramp and it says 228 folders, so I'd assume atleast 170 albums.[/QUOTE] I've had to make do with an Omnia 7 with no SDslot, only 8GB, and i was perfectly happy at the time with all the music, movies and heavy shit i had on the device. If i, and countless others can work with 8GB, why in the fuck can't you work with 80GB's of storage?! ON A PHONE. Fucking ridiculous mate.

I'm actually crying here. Their A7 Chip is a 1.7ghz dual core and my shitbox PC is only 1.86ghz Dual Core, but weathered down to the bone. A god damn PHONE is pretty much better than my computer at processing

[QUOTE=Telepethi;42143969]They already have. Microsoft and Motorola have both done them. Motorola had a fingerprint scanner on their Atrix smartphone for ATT. [editline]10th September 2013[/editline] I'm really disappointed by the hardware. The A7 chip is only 1.7ghz dual core. Fucks sake we've had quad core phone processors for a year now and they've only given the phone a 400MHz boost over the iPhone 5's dual core 1.5GHz. IMO the 5s should be $100 and the 5c should be $50. This is NOT worth the premium price point of a state of the art phone.[/QUOTE] The phones "only" have 1.7 ghz dual core... Riiight, its almost to par with my 2.3 ghz laptop, which is incredible to me. Are you some NASA phone tech designer or something?
[QUOTE=Protocol7;42146027]There's a lot of new camera stuff. Larger pixels on the sensor, better lens, dual flash for different temperatures.[/QUOTE] Oh I didn't see that in the announcement. I'm sold then!

[QUOTE=nigerianprince;42143906]The point is that people have been waiting for what Apple has to offer post-Steve Jobs. This is it. A pretty uninspired upgrade (bar the security features). So I'm guessing that after this there will be another entire 12 months of no new phones? I really am struggling to see what Apple has to offer in 2013 if they cannot even up the ante on their phone line.[/QUOTE] Never mind the completely redesigned mac pro, or the way they're expanding their foothold in television, or their supposedly large product line-up for 2014. 2013 has been somewhat of a transitory period. They're still moving out from the way the company worked in the past and designing new products for 2014. They've said this multiple times. But you're right. Apple didn't make their phone with a 7 inch screen, 12 cores and eye tracking so they can't innovate anymore.
[QUOTE=Trogdon;42147291]Oh I didn't see that in the announcement. I'm sold then![/QUOTE] The camera looks really good. I wanna see a comparison between it and the HTC One.
1.7ghz with 64GB of storage is absolutely fantastic for the size of the device. I'm upgrading from a 4 when my contract ends in October. It's incredible how sluggish the 4 gets with newer apps. 5 is incredibly smooth, and the 5S will only improve that. It's a hell of a good upgrade. If you go 4 to 4S to 5 to 5S, you're going to have a shitty time, because that's not how you're meant to upgrade. A two-year contract is the norm, and a new phone with every contract is the norm, so 4S to 5S or so is pretty great. I got my phone right before the 4S came out, and now I'll have a 5S when it ends, on contract for pretty much free.
[QUOTE=Xmeagol;42147179]What processor do you have?[/QUOTE] DxDiag says; Intel Core 2 CPU 6320. Basically really really old.
[QUOTE=mark6789;42147334]The camera looks really good. I wanna see a comparison between it and the HTC One.[/QUOTE] I love how Apple were saying "oh we are gonna do something different nobody else thought to do this" when they talked about enlarging the image sensor while keeping the pixel count the same. It's like they've never even heard of the One. They were also acting like burst mode was something new.
Eh, I'll stick with Android
