There were many rumors surrounding the Apple iPhone event. The majority of them dealt directly using the anticipated iPhones - the suggested 5S and 5C. A lot of interesting ideas and speculations had been suggested and expressed - in the most apparent to those unlikely to occur. The keynote itself was not groundbreaking - at least such was the first impression. Everything we saw there is expected, with a small exception. Now we'd like to guide you through the roundup of rumors that were circulating around the web. Let's see which of them came true and which were left out.
YES: two iPhones Just like it had been expected, officially named iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. The former 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 simply to supplement the storyline.
NO: iPhone 5C is a cheap iPhone If compared to 5S, it's a budget iPhone covered with polycarbonate shell. But it is not too low as many of us expected. It's slightly cheaper than the flasghip, yet its cost is considerable (contract-free: $549 for 16GB, $649 for 32GB). To check, 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 just what Apple hinted at by the tagline 'This should brighten your day'. Nokia found this option resembling the range of colors the Lumia family offers and took a fascinating jab at Apple on Twitter.
YES: iPhone 5S goes gold There is finally the 3rd color for that high-end smartphone - champagne (or call it gold). What's liked relating to this option, there isn't any excessive glitter as with Vertu phones, everything is colored with simplicity and magnificence.
NO: 128GB option Unfortunately for music lovers and movie fans, there's still no option of doubling the maximum iPhone capacity. A minimum of music lovers who carry their whole music libraries in the pocket, still can have their classic iPods.
YES: fingerprint sensor One of the most widely discussed features introduced in the new iPhones. It occupies the home button behind a layer of sapphire crystal. The entire feature is called Touch ID and it allows users to unlock the telephone without entering passcodes.
NO: NFC Even though it succeeded to raise some curiosity about the web, Near Field Communication remains a niche concept that still takes care of not receive much practical use and importance. A minimum of for Apple.
YES: next-generation chip The 5S introduces A7 which makes it, as claimed by Apple, 5 times faster than iPhone 5 and 40 times faster than the initial iPhone. It is combined with another chip - so-called 'motion coprocessor' M7. The majority of the improvements in the 5S are evolution rather than revolution, just like it was between iPhone 4 and 4S.
NO: a new iPad? An iPad mini with Retina display? A new iPod? Maybe iWatch? None. The big event was solely focused on the new iPhones. Everything that Apple is possibly getting ready to show, will arrive later this season. iWatch, that has never been confirmed yet, really should not be expected sooner than 2014 (if it ever arrives).
