There were many rumors all around the Iphone event. The majority of them dealt directly with the anticipated iPhones - the suggested 5S and 5C. A lot of interesting ideas and speculations had been suggested and expressed - from the most obvious to people unlikely to occur. The keynote itself wasn't groundbreaking - a minimum of such was the first impression. Everything we had there was expected, having a small exception. Now we'd like to guide you through the roundup of rumors which were circulating around the web. Let's see which of them came true and that have been left behind.
YES: two iPhones Just like it was expected, officially named iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. The previous has got the style of its predecessor, as the latter has similar specs. Both will quickly be launched with iOS 7 aboard. Actually, the entire keynote is all about both of these devices. Even the upcoming iOS 7 was mentioned just to supplement the storyline.
NO: iPhone 5C is a cheap iPhone If when compared with 5S, it's a budget iPhone engrossed in polycarbonate shell. But it is not so low as many of us expected. It's slightly less expensive than the flasghip, yet its price is considerable (contract-free: $549 for 16GB, $649 for 32GB). To compare, prices of the 5S are $100 higher respectively. It's cheaper although not cheap.
YES: iPhone 5C comes in colors Leaked images demonstrated the truth. We've five colors: white, yellow, green, blue, pink. No purple or red. This is exactly what Apple hinted at through the tagline 'This should brighten your day'. Nokia found this option resembling the variety of colors that the Lumia family offers and took a fascinating jab at Apple on Twitter.
YES: iPhone 5S goes gold There is finally the third color for the high-end smartphone - champagne (or call it gold). What's liked relating to this option, there isn't any excessive glitter like in Vertu phones, things are colored with simplicity and elegance.
NO: 128GB option Unfortunately for music lovers and movie fans, there's still no option of doubling the maximum iPhone capacity. At least music lovers who carry their whole music libraries within the pocket, still can have their classic iPods.
YES: fingerprint sensor Probably the most widely discussed features introduced in the new iPhones. It occupies the house button behind a layer of sapphire crystal. The entire feature is known as Touch ID also it allows users to unlock the telephone without entering passcodes.
NO: NFC Even though it succeeded to raise some curiosity about the net, Near Field Communication remains a distinct segment concept that still does not receive much practical use and importance. At least for Apple.
YES: next-generation chip The 5S introduces A7 that makes it, as claimed by Apple, 5 times faster than apple iphone 5 and 40 times faster compared to initial iPhone. It is accompanied by another chip - so-called 'motion coprocessor' M7. The majority of the improvements within the 5S are evolution instead of revolution, just like it had been between apple iphone 4 and 4S.
NO: a brand new iPad? An iPad mini with Retina display? A new iPod? Maybe iWatch? None. The big event was solely dedicated to the new iPhones. Exactly what Apple might well be getting ready to show, will arrive later this season. iWatch, that has never been confirmed yet, really should not be expected sooner than 2014 (whether it ever arrives).
