Re: Apple Issues Invitations for September 10 Media Event

...
China Mobile knows to core an Apple...

Apologies, in advance, for the hijack, but the thread has already been hijacked and this topic (China and the cheap phone) has been discussed quite a few times already at this forum...

..... but, to anyone old enough to remember...

"Can it core a apple?"

Maybe, but I doubt it. It will have 1 feature missing from it. I have no idea what that will be. But the discounted phone will sell in US/Canada and Europe and Australia, Japan, etc. Apple needs to realize that their market share is decreasing, and they need to reverse that before its too late.

The argument DF is that they already do, by selling the (right now) the 4S at a discount.

The next phone will allow people to buy the 5 at a discount (from today's prices) and I suspect that the 4S will be "free" on contract from most carriers after the introduction of the 5S or 6 next week.

Maybe they'll have some unexpected surprises. They do need a phone with a larger screen. As you mentioned the Nexus 4....

I don't think they'd use the roman character of the English word for %u4E2D%u56FD if they really wanted to focus on the Chinese market.

Maybe the C is for Counterfeit.
(it'll be the legit unit, but the locals will think it's a knockoff and Apple will be able to cut into these sales!)

No Apple event day is complete without this post. Because, well, you know, every Apple product announced through these presentations has been a complete fucking failure.

That's right, 64-bit ARM processor is a total fail.

On another note, does a gold iPhone make any statement other than "Paris Hilton-level douche"?

Gah the iPhone 5C, C is for cheap crap.

I was 1/3rd right

S is for snooty jerk apparently, way to fragment your lineup, Tim.

Um, the 5C is the same as the current iPhone 5 except in plastic. You callin' mah iPhone 5 crap, man? Huh? Huh?

The iPhone 5S is worth a look, though. 64-bit processor in a phone is somewhat of a deal.

Time to preorder a 5S. Preorders are 9/13 and stores have them on 9/20.

I'm honestly surprised they kept the 4S with its old 30pin connector...

Other than that, the 5S and 5C have turned out exactly like were rumored...

I want a 5S but can't justify these minor upgrades. It's an S revision I know.

Only iphone refresh. No pods, laptops, or pads. Nothing about Mavericks? Big stinker.

Yeah i definitely can't see a reason to upgrade from my iP5. If Apple doesn't do something truly innovative with the next iPhone, i might just cross over to the dark side...

Yep, there were basically no surprises that I saw, except this was the first I'd heard of the M7.

Suits me, actually, because I won't feel bad about keeping my unlocked iPhone 5 for another year. Last year I sold my 4S to get a 5 -- happy to be on the major upgrade cycle after being on the "S cycle" for three years.

The presentation was far more technical/spec oriented than in the past. Less demonstrative in terms of usability/convenience/innovation. Still, a 64 bit processor is geek sexy.

I agree, however right now IMO it's useless give it a couple years then I will jump.
