Great news all around.
There is finally a "cheaper" iPhone but you aren't getting a lower end model. It's an improvement from the iPhone 5 which is still a great phone.

And does anyone remember the Atrix from 3 years ago? No.
Because most fingerprint scanners are bust seeing as this is Apple's first attempt I fear they will have the same fate. Hopefully not as crappy as HP's scanners they had on their laptops.

Is Retina display not HD? Okay.

no retina display is not HD...640 × 1,136 is not HD

and watch the fingerprint scanner get wet a little bit and stop working

and everyone remembers the Atrix because apple is now re releasing something that they already did

The 5c isn't cheaper.... it's $549 off contract... you can get a nexus for under $350

Watch any electronic device get wet a little bit and stop working.

The iPhone 5c was made with China in their mind but they are selling it for $733 in China :facepalm:

and Sony and Samsung (if i remember correctly) are both selling water proof phones

by FalcaoPunch Wed Sep 11, 2013 3:18 am

Waterproof phones are still shit though to be honest.

What's the benchmarks for these phones. How do they hold up against the top phones of Windows, Android, and Apple? They don't.

Then again there is a phone for everyone. And the person who is never careful only cares about that. But we know that we would never use em considering what we currently have in our pockets instead

LOL

At a low cost of $739 for the low end model 5c in australia, i'm sorry but are idiots still buying this shit from apple.

by FalcaoPunch Wed Sep 11, 2013 3:54 pm

I'm sorry, but Apple has never said they're going to make a "low cost" iPhone. Blame the rumors and speculations from Wall Street among others for setting false expectations in your head.

It's cheaper on a two year contract here in the states. And that's what they were going for instead of just price dropping an "older" model.

And if an iPhone 5 ($649) still sold out the asshole international, it would only make sense that the 5c hell even the 5s will too.

Isn't everything expensive in Australia anyway?

Explain to me the purpose of the 5c if it wasn't meant to be a low budget phone, i just don't get it.

Yes, but my comparison was in regards to other low budget phones.

As much as I love Sony, please don't try to rate their phones.
Loaded with their own bloats are, lack of updates, and dated software.

And that's an overview on sony as a whole when talking about mobile phones.

Despite my preferences being Apple, I'm not blind and I know a good phone when it's out. Out of the hundreds of android phones out there, there is only two maybe even three worth mentioning as top of the line.

No love for windows phones from me.

AAPL down $40 since the presentation.

Sony is beginning to stream line there releases it seems they are sticking with the Z line rather then releasing all sorts of variants which was there problem in the past in regards to keeping there phones updated, and there Xperia skin for android is probably one of the closest skins to stock android available in a none stock android device, there is barely any bloatware....the Xperia skin is praised for it`s simplicity in fact.

and the phone will ship with 4.2.2 which will likely receive a update to 4.3 in the following weeks....very few none stock android devices are running 4.3 right now.
