Welcome everyone taking part in today's discussion.

Was hoping for a live streamed event, but it was announced that
Apple would not provide one.

Lots of sites have their own live coverage which we will be monitoring.

I will post all the announcements in the top post (above this one) as they happen.

 

[Sam Posten]

Apple y u no live stream

 

[Sam Posten]

Live streaming iTunes music festival to 100 countries, but not THIS event.

 

[Sam Posten]

Teases showing unannounced device on ios7 review!

 

[Sam Posten]

One week for iOS 7 !

 

[Sam Posten]

iWork's officially now free

 

[Neil Middlemiss]

Thanks Ron.

Come on Apple - whatcha got for me?

 

[Sam Posten]

iPhone 4,4s and 5 are dead!!!

 

[Sam Posten]

5s and ios7 are 64 bit. HOT.

 

[Ronald Epstein]

Can't believe Apple is not streaming this kind of thing. You are unveiling two new phones for God's sake.

 

[Sam Posten]

Shut up and take my money! (To apple, not replying to Ron!)

 

[Sam Posten]

120fps mind blwn

 

[Neil Middlemiss]

Sign. Me. Up!

 

[Ronald Epstein]

Sam, what is the Megapixel count on the new phone? Did they make that clear?

 

[mattCR]

More then a few people not so happy no black option. So far, I haven't seen anything I go "wow" yet.. though the finger sensor is nice. No idea on the megapixel on the camera... when everyone else is posting 16/21/41 Megapixels, I'm wondering where they are coming in.
The 5C is a great option for the low cost, seems like a toned up 4/4S model rebadged at a lower price point.

 

[Sam Posten]

iPhone 4S death sentence revoked, $0

 

[Sam Posten]

The fewer the megapixels the better. 4-5 mpx is fine with high quality fat pixel sensors.

 

[Ronald Epstein]

At one point 28MP was described for a panoramic view.

 

[mattCR]

The fewer the megapixels the better. 4-5 mpx is fine with high quality fat pixel sensors.

Sam, you are definitely in the fan boy camp Care to trade me your DSLR, I have a great Sony that records 4MP photos onto a floppy disk

Edit: and FYI, their "increase" in sensor size of 15% still puts it with a sensor significantly smaller then the Samsung Galaxy III and WAY smaller then the Nokia 1020...
