That phone will not last 10 hours. When companies do those tests for battery life they do it with nothing on, no screen, no apps in the background, no mail, nothing. It's not even remotely similar to the usage that people will get in the real world.

... These battery tests are accurate, they are not battery tests for you playing while talking. I'm not sure what you are talking about. The tests are accurate, now if you want other battery tests, sure but the ones presented are accurate.

Awesome. This will boost sales in their ecosystem even further ahead of the competition. Huge.

 

[Remyzero]

that fingerprint scanner is legit, touching the home button to unlock!

 

[victreeb3l]

Thank the lord. Touch ID for iTunes

 

[milanbaros]

so I'm confused... if the 5C is still priced so high, what purpose does it serve...

Higher margins I assume. I'm not sure what you mean.

 

[RedAssedApe]

i hope there are safe guards for me accidentally buying s tuff lol

 

[Doc Holliday]

Digging the touch ID!

 

[zewone]

64-bit chip is a "simple spec increase" now? gtfo

What are the benefits of a 64-bit chip?

 

[entremet]

NSA ID tracking?

lol

 

[-COOLIO-]

man they're really knocking competitors for having beefy specs. but phones aren't desktops yet, there are good reasons for that power.

 

[subrock]

So what's the deal with the C line? Cheaper build quality?

Replacing iPhone 5, probably for production cost reasons.

 

[Flek]

It can handle multiple fingerprints too.

nice so maybe even more accounts?

 

[chickdigger802]

wonder if the trick in the spy movies would work to trick this.

 

[BFIB]

So what's the deal with the C line? Cheaper build quality?

Lisa Frank approved.

 

[Leona Lewis]

Such an incremental update.

New iPhones are going to be stealth revisions within a few years, I'd wager.

 

[LCfiner]

I cannot get over that gold. I thought I was over it. I am not over it.

it just seems too much to me.

 

[dark_chris]

so much whining and salt. seriously people.

 

[Chuckl3s]

GPS Tracking and Fingerprint scanning...

iPhone 5nSa

 

[Vyer]

mmm

 

[Whitechocolatekrispies]

Can't wait to hear about people getting their fingers cut off over an iPhone lol.

 

[BigJonsson]

Does this mean people will stop stealing iphones? Or will most people not bother to turn this on? Just like a lot of people don't put passwords or enable find my phone security features?

 

[Drakeon]

Alright Apple, ya got me. I'm jumping to IOS!

 

[$h@d0w]

Shit, hand insurance premiums are going up, as are cases of knife attacks.

 

[mrkgoo]

The camera stuff so far sounds fantastic. The two tone flash with changeable tones if 1000 variations sounds break through to me.

Bigger sensor, wider aperture, faster processing. It's insane. The panorama feature was already cool but live exposure adjustment? Awesome.

10 frame per second burst mode? And the processor picks one for you us very apple-like. It's like awesome tech, but you don't even know it's doing it (until you see the 10 images lol). Nice.

 

[VoxPop]

So what's the deal with the C line? Cheaper build quality?

Yeah probably to compete with the GS4 and GN3

 

[CharminUltra]

Pre-oder date plz!

Or time if it's today

 

[Phreaker]

Must upgrade now! Easier to unlock phone and buy stuff! WOOT

 

[freenudemacusers]

No more typing passwords is gonna make my drunk app purchases much more frequent.

 

[Zeth]

wonder if the trick in the spy movies would work to trick this.

debunked

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Fingerprint to authenticate iTunes purchases?

I need this now.

Yeah that's pretty off the hook future tech.

 

[alba]

NSA-approved phone

First thing that came to mind. Lol.

 

[Yoshichan]

Fucking sold

 

[WonkyPanda]

Fingerprint to authenticate iTunes purchases?

I need this now.

#GAMECHANGER

 

[Blackhead]

Multiple fingerprints = Multiple IDs?

 

[Fury Sense]

phalangectomy rates through the roof

 

[kudoboi]

the fingerprint thing is THE only new innovating thing apple has done in a long time IMO. the rest has just been catch up

 

[subrock]

Can't wait to hear about people getting their fingers cut off over an iPhone lol.

Next level chicken little

 

[jstripes]

Here's what I'd like:

TWO unlock modes. One where, say, my girlfriend can unlock it and use the phone. Another where I can unlock it and get to my email, messages, and other apps with private info.

 

[Synless]

NSA now has everyone's finger prints.

"All fingerprint is encripted, and secured inside a secure enclave."

For easy and secure transport to NSA!

 

[Radec]

The fingerprint is going to be one of those things you didn't know you wanted.

yep.

good thing android phone makers can easily copy this.

 

[jts]

Fingerprint to authenticate iTunes purchases?

I need this now.

And real world purchases soon, I bet.

 

[Darko]

not stored on apple servers or cloud... no NSA!

 

[Deku Tree]

"All fingerprint is encripted, and secured inside a secure enclave."

But does the NSA have a built in back door?

 

[Gannd]

The space gray looks cool. I'm not going to rush out to upgrade. My 5 is still good enough for me. I'll upgrade next year with the 6.

 

[Symphonia]

So it seems that Apple is about to become top dog when it comes to smartphones once again, eh? I never lost faith in you, Apple, not even for a second.

 

[maabus1999]

So every new Google phone in 2014 will have fingerprint sensors now....

Database companies are going to love this.

 

[LCfiner]

"It's never available to other software." It's never uploaded to Apple's servers or backed up to iCloud.
