Apple reveals new cheap-ish iPhone (and new expensive iPhone)

In fancy smancy colours:

Specs haven't been confirmed in full, but it seems like it's got more or less the same insides as the current iPhone 5, about to be upgraded to the faster 5s. They start at $99 with a two year contract, which seems hefty for the 'cheap' option.


Any takers? 

When I upgrade my current iPhone, it will be to the fancier model, but I think Apple is right to offer the cheaper options. 

Lame. Apple is dry on innovation

While I'm here, just revealed the 5s:

Ditching white for silver? And what the **** is that bling colour in the middle? 

The home button has a built-in finger print scanner and it wont unlock for anyone but you. 

Could be cool. Could be annoying. 

Also has a 64-bit processor. In a phone? That's pretty insane.

Just get a feature phone. Don't waste money on the iphone 5cheap

.

Pretty much what all the rumors were saying. If I was in the market for a new phone I would buy.

64 bit is going to be useless for the most part, phone doesn't even have 4gb of RAM, so it's only going to affect some apps.

Also, what if you were a former world class jewel thief and you don't have fingerprints? Way to discriminate Apple. :(

They're both ugly and there is nothing innovative about either of the new iPhones. iOS 7 is also ugly, and once again, nothing innovative.

I'll take the recently announced Note 3. USB 3 port, 2.3ghz quad core Snapdragon 800, 3gb RAM, 32 and 64gb storage options WITH SD card support, and a 5.7inch 1080p OLED, all in a body that's smaller than the Note 2. It's far more innovative. 

I'm not sure a fingerprint scanner is going to be a desired feature considering all the conspiracies with NSA and large companies and them breaking into smartphones. Plus if you cut your finger you'll have to have another way to unlock the phone. Very underwhelmed and i think HTC, Droid, and Samsung are actually happy about this.Kurushio

LOL at anyone who buys this shit. NSA phone 5s. :lol:-Renegade

Will get the 5S as soon as I can. Absolutely fed up with Android and its crap.

This is the first time I've actually been eligible for an upgrade when a new iPhone is releasing since 2007 when the original iPhone came out. I'm going to pre-order the Gold 32GB 5S on Friday. 

Next week is going to be the best week of all time: Breaking Bad + Football on Sunday, GTA V on Tuesday, and then new iPhone on Friday.  

The cheap one is $100 with a contract? What's the point of it then? You're saving less than like 5% of your total bill over two years then.

[QUOTE="Person0"][QUOTE="DroidPhysX"] That would require (bug non withstanding) apple to manufacture a backdoor into iOS.DroidPhysX

I hope the 5 goes down in price. Otherwise getting a 5S would be my option, but it's not like it's that different.

I'm in the market to upgrade my phone. 

Been meaning to try a bite of the Apple pie.

5s seems pretty good.
