Johnathan Sessoms Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Haha, this is ridiculous. I want to see the Galaxy S5 reveal. Apple also forgot to make their phone water proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VASI Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 700€ .. Where it's cheap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnpaul215 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 To be fair, Apple never said anything about a cheap phone for developing markets. That's was rumor blogs and rumor analysts making an assumption that the "cheaper" phone would be cheap compared to the android options, and that's never going to happen.

VASI Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Never said anything about a cheap phone, but they produce a plastic smartphone and that means automatically: We don't say it. But we are made it. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/11/us-apple-iphone-idUSBRE98908I20130911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnpaul215 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 That article cites Wall Street being upset that Apple isn't making cheap phones. Who cares, again Apple never tried to compete on price. Why start now? Apple never bent to Wall Street. If Wall Street was so smart, they would be inventing stuff instead of trading stocks and playing armchair quarterbacks. No matter what you think of the iPhone, or Apple, they managed to become crazy successful without Wall Street guidance. How many times in the 90s did Wall Street advise Apple being dismantled and the patents sold off? Wall Street also rewards companies for "cutting costs" by moving production to 3rd world sweatshops. They see bigger profits, while Americans lose jobs. I would never take an analysts report without considering their motivation for trying to manipulate the stock price. If anything, Apple has a pattern and this is the revision year. Next year will be the bigger change for the iPhone 6. That said, I am intrigued by the 5S. The camera is getting a big bump, and that's something I use every single day. The processor is a lot faster, so even if it just launches the camera faster, that's intriguing to me. The fingerprint scanner is huge, especially combined with Apple's new keychain in iOS7 and OS X. I HATE trying to type a secure password for my bank, or even the Apple App Store, on my phone, and this will eliminate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
