Introduction
The apple iphone 5S: a phone which looks like the iPhone 5, however goes so much
further underneath the hood. Is that going to be sufficient to impress the
baying millions?
We've been here before: the apple iphone 'S' conundrum. The
new cell phone comes along, taking the shell from the previous model, adds a few
new bits and pieces, and then should certainly be an entirely new cell
phone.
That it is,
of course. But also it’s not. Well, mostly is. To be certain, it's the kind of
move that just Apple can pull off along with any kind of conviction: the notion
it can take the same chassis, possess a little tinker, throw within a new CPU,
slightly much better battery and camera, and give us a call at it an
all-conquering gadget.
But then again, such is the clamour to know all about
it, is the fact that such a bad move? You will find literally millions of people
the world over who else can't wait to see the particular next handset from Apple
company will be, and there was no real surprise with the iPhone 5S.
There are
some who question whether it's 'fair' to launch a cell phone and then append an
'S' to the same thing a year later -- Apple's response would likely become that
nobody is making you to buy the new equipment. And that's a fair point. Indeed,
this is a phone that has far too many hallmarks of the predecessor. And yes,
this is actually the third time Apple has been doing this.
It also managed to
appear it onto the market among the most expensive smartphones out there,
actually on 3G plans -- although thankfully the price is to fall slightly upon
contract.
You'll still be taking a look at post £40 a month to obtain one
without an upfront charge in the UK, and £549 is actually inexplicably still the
price if you would like the low end model, pressing all the way up to over £700
for the 64GB variant.
