Watch Apple livestream its iPhone 5S, 5C announcement here

Some digging around suggests that the Camera is still 8MP. (Fine with me, save space, yet should take great photos). - BUT THEY NEVER SAID IT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. I am leaning 8MP.
 
The camera improvement is a big deal for me. I have gotten to where I never carry my camera any more. The low light performance of the 5 is a pain, and the flash tends to wash out things too much. HDR helps a lot, but not enough.
 
pre-orders for 5C Sept 13, launch Sept 20th.

launch for 5S on the 20th, but they did not provide the pre-order date. Assume same??
 
Same pricing: 16GB for $199, 32- and 64GB models for $299 and $399

I wish they would double the disk space at each of those price points. I keep buying 32GB models but they don't really have enough space for my music. I'd rather have 64GB or more but I won't pay $400 for a device that comes with a new contract and uses up my upgrade.

I look forward to playing with it - in a few months -- but will hold off for the time-being. Don't have $300 sitting around right now when I have a perfectly functional iPhone 5 and a slew of Canon Cameras, including a Canon Powershot S100, which fits in my pocket.

This!!!

16GB 5s = 199 on contract
32GB 5c = 199 on contract
wtf!
 
And that's a wrap… Again, thanks to the folks at Phonearena.com for their live feed.

No real surprises. We seem to be living in the new Apple world where there aren't quite as many surprises. And it looks like no real surprised in iOS 7 from what beta users have seen.
 
No word on NFC?

Why would you expect them to be the same? The 5C has the processor of the 5; the 5S has the A7,M7, fingerprint, camera..

I didnt expect a higher-storage 5C. Can't see why apple thought it was a good idea to make people cross-shop. NAND is also getting cheap enough that this is getting into "money grab" territory
 

Carbonite backup and IOS 7
