There have been many rumors surrounding the Apple iPhone event. Most 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 those unlikely to happen. The keynote itself wasn't groundbreaking - a minimum of such was the initial impression. Everything we had there was expected, with a small exception. Now we want to lead you thru the roundup of rumors that were circulating online. Let's wait and watch which of them came true and that have been left behind.
YES: two iPhones Just as it was expected, officially named iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. The former has the style of its predecessor, as the latter has similar specs. Both will soon be launched with iOS 7 aboard. In fact, 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 really 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 price is considerable (contract-free: $549 for 16GB, $649 for 32GB). To check, prices of the 5S are $100 higher respectively. It's cheaper but 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 an interesting jab at Apple on Twitter.
YES: iPhone 5S goes gold There is finally the third color for that high-end smartphone - champagne (or refer to it as gold). What's liked about 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 utmost iPhone capacity. A minimum of music lovers who carry their whole music libraries within the pocket, still might have their classic iPods.
YES: fingerprint sensor One of the most widely discussed features introduced within the new iPhones. It occupies the house button behind a layer of sapphire crystal. The entire feature is called Touch ID also it allows users to unlock the phone without entering passcodes.
NO: NFC Even though it succeeded to raise some interest in the net, Near Field Communication remains a distinct segment concept that still does 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 apple iphone 5 and 40 times faster than the very first iPhone. It's accompanied by another chip - so-called 'motion coprocessor' M7. Most of other improvements within the 5S are evolution rather than revolution, much like it had been between apple 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 dedicated to the brand new iPhones. Exactly what Apple is possibly preparing to show, will arrive later this year. iWatch, which has never been confirmed yet, shouldn't be expected sooner than 2014 (if it ever arrives).
