It's called Apple iPhone...and yet again another thread has been derailed by this boring repeat of the Editors apple psychosis...

I forget which Apple thread I'm posting on they're all so homogenised.
Usually due to the fact that any news added to them gets the same tired responses...

Its called apple iphone and related items. I reckon that covers iPads, iOS and various discussions about Apple.

tbf all the above do have their own specific threads.
True. I was merely pointing out that its a perfectly acceptable place to discuss iPads. I don't know why I bother though. KE just uses all these threads to have pathetic digs at editor anyway and editor responds by being stubborn and arrogant.
Anyway, back in the real world, has anyone seen the update become available for iOS 7? Its not shown up on my iPhone or iPad yet.

My iPhone is a work one so I can't really risk a new OS until I'm happy its not a bug ridden mess so I'll wait anyway. The upgrade to v6 lost a load of settings for our corporate wifi access and I cant take that risk again.

The following psytrance is baṉned: All
Why the new phone is 64 bit and why it matters:
ARM is going through the same 32-64 bit transition that X86 did ten years ago. The new V8 ARM designs are the first 64 bit chips from the company. The instruction set is all new, allowing them to drop all the cruft built up over the last 20 years of 32 bit ARM chips, allowing for a more power efficient design. The new chips are faster not because they are 64 bit (like for like, 64 bit is actually slower, as it must shift larger chunks of data around at any one time). They are faster because they are a clean slate design.
The other advantage that 64 bit chips bring is being able to address >4GB of RAM. This is not wanted now, but in a few years time, when it is, iOS will have made the transition already, with all apps and OS services running in the new architecture.
If you can stomach John Gruber's fanboyism, his review of the new phones has the benchmarks. The 5S is twice as fast as the previous 5. It is faster than any android phone or tablet on the market, by some margin. This is thanks to the clean-slate V8 ARM core.

He seems to have gone more fanboyish with each and every (generally underwhelming) Apple update. I can't take him seriously any more.

People are always saying that Apple launches are underwhelming though, it's only with time you see how ahead their stuff can be. iPhone? Meh, didn't have 3G. iPad? Meh, just a big iPhone. Air? Meh, just a thin laptop etc. Yet look at how they've set the bar for their respective fields.

Launching being exciting are fairly irrelevant at this point. Interesting that as levels of tech blog mehness rises so does sales, perhaps consumers aren't that interested in keynote speeches?

On a more specific note: anyone got any good links to video showing iOS 7 running on iPhone 4S?

An estate agent pleads to Tim Cook: "let us clutter up the streets with our weird obsession". Jeez.

Lots and lots of people it seems. Bound to be overloaded bang on 6
Yeah I doubt there are many sites in the world that can deal with a 100 million + people turning up at once.

I just installed it over Wifi 35mins after it was launched. Not bad!
