Apple iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S now official: a few surprises in both hardware and software

Little bit pricey there, however they cant give out the phone for free, but im confused at this pricing scheme as well.
 
There's a typo in the article. The iPhone 4s will be free, the iPhone 4 will no longer be available when the new phones are released, you can see on the Apple website that the iPhone 4 is no longer listed.
 
To be totally truthful I was hoping a little more from apple along spec wise. Disappointed a tad bit but that gives chance for competition to obliterate apple and force them to step up their game in my eyes. The beauty of a competitive market.
 
I'm glad Apple aren't going along with the stupid megapixel race for the camera and focusing on actual image quality and low light shooting. 120fps 720p video will be amazing and I'm a bit surprised more isn't being made of this.

The pricing structure for extra storage is still going to be a tragedy though. Should have been 32/64/128GB in this day and age.
 
Last-gen iPhones usually drop $100. So iPhone 5 should be $550. Yet, iPhone 5C is $550. Same specs, zero new features, heavier.

Wat.

They are trying to squeeze more profits from would-be older models. So they're retiring the iPhone 5 and replacing it with this atrocity of iPhone 5C. Since it's made of cheaper materials, they can get higher margins off of it. Personally, I'd take an iPhone 5 over iPhone 5C any day.
