iPhone 5s, 5c, and iOS 7: everything you need to know

2013-09-10
Apple September event is usually a big one and we expected more from the company here than normal we expected new ipods new iPads maybe new macbooks a new look at Mavericks the OS 10 operating system but really what we got was two things well first we got a good look at iOS 7 the company's new mobile operating system which the company has a long way to go before it's really explain to users and especially old users why it's great but we saw some of the new apps some of new services and it's coming next week whether you like it or not the two new things we saw were phones first the iphone 5c the new cheaper I say cheaper because it's not really cheap it's ninety-nine dollars on contract but it looks just like the iphone five in a new shell it comes in five colors blue red yellow green and white and it's a plastic back it feels a lot better than some of the plastic phones we've seen but it still feels a lot more like a toy than the cold metallic iphone 5 from the camera to the processor to everything else it's just like the iphone 5 with a new case on it and there are even new cases for the iphone 5c which also looked really cool but again you're just basically putting plastic on plastic at that point the other phone Apple's new flagship device is the iphone 5s it's 199 dollars on contract is replacing the iphone 5 and like most of the S updates we've seen it's not a huge aesthetic change most of what's new is under the hood there's a new processor the a7 plus the new m7 a motion processor which allows it to do a number of new things but the biggest changes are in the home button of all places it's a little shallower it's still quickie but what it has now is a fingerprint sensor embedded so you can open your phone you can buy things all just by tapping your finger on the sensor it's super secure because it's your fingerprint but it gives you a whole range of options that you wouldn't have had otherwise this is what we expect from s updates it looks the same it's just as thin it's just as light it comes in new colors silver and gold and Space Gray whatever that means but the big changes here are things you hopefully won't see except iOS 7 which you'll most definitely see it's 199 dollars it's coming out on carriers and countries around the world and it's very much Apple's new flagship phone iOS 7 is a much bigger change than anything else that's for it but the iPhone 5s is really more or less what we expected and that's really the story here we basically knew all of this going in everything had been leaked to death apple says it's doubling down on secrecy but then all of this was out there before the event ever started Elvis Costello was surprised that was something at this point we're really looking towards October there's still a lot left for Apple to do this fall we're still looking to see the new software on more devices we got a quick look at iOS 7 on an iPad but 17 much we're still waiting for Mavericks for waiting for new MacBook Pros and we're waiting for lost more we're still waiting for that mac pro 2 so really at this point we're waiting for October
