I'm not sure what you were expecting? TBH Apple could announce the second coming and you still wouldn't be impressed.

Well quite. Pretty boring at this point to see the same tedious comments and attempts at humour every year.

That's not true at all. I can remember being really impressed with some of Apple's innovation in the past, but seeing as their whole PR strategy is about puffing up their launches into some kind of earth-shattering event, I've every right to express disappointment when it fails to live up to the ludicrous levels of pre-hype.

Mate that's horseshit, you used to bitch about the lack of hardware keyboard and call it the jesus phone from day one, you occasionally dangle a fig leaf with a vague comment on design of hardware but that's about it.

Hmmm the iPhone 5C looks like it's made with the Duplo design team:

The 5 has a nicer colour for the black one, the new one doesn't look great really...faster phone, better battery, nothing on camera other than a lot of stuff about lenses...

I could embarrass you and pull out all sorts of quotes that would prove you to be very wrong, but I really can't be arsed. Besides, your iBubble is pretty much impenetrable to reality these days. Anyway, don't let me get in the way of your fapping - let's see more pics of the revolutionary update!

Bit random.

Not exactly a great marketing shot is it?

Well...roll on October and the new operating system (and Mac Pro for those with deep pockets).

There isn't really much room for "innovation" as far as smart phones go these days. Everything "amazing" has already been done. Apple took what they had and made improvements; why expect anything else?
The camera has a larger sensor which should make for better quality images, and it also has image-stabilisation and some other stuff. Sounds good to me.
Although S bumps have never been that riveting, the finger print reader was neatly done.

It's not me that hyper-inflates the launch of a new, slightly improved phone using already-seen technology into some global 'hold-the-front-page' mega event that must be simultaneously streamed across multiple channels, with film crews preparing to video people stood in queues.
There was a time when Apple launches really did pull some punches and provide some real surprises. Now we get just the same amount of hype as before but with very little substance behind it.

How do you think it might compare to the Xperia Z1 and Lumia 1020?

How much is the 5c?

this is no longer a place of honour
Jesus - the prices on the plastic phone are a touch high.
I was hoping it'd more entry level

I don't know anyone who expects anything else. I'm sure editor doesn't either, and is simply content as ever to spit apples own propaganda from years ago back in their face every time. Which is somewhat redundant at this point since most people were only going to parrot the apple propaganda about innovation on occasions where Apple were actually innovating to an extent recognised as at least somewhat significant.

Mental high pricing.
