I wonder if we will see any discounts on the older ones? :? Probably not.

In traditional fashion the website is down:

Today's the day. Don't pretend you're not excited...

No need to pretend: whatever's launched will be overpriced, overhyped and fawned over by all the usual suspects as if it were the Second Coming of the Book of Jobs. Stupid.

Almost as stupid as the people who, whenever there's a product launch, always drag out the same predictable Anti-Apple crap......

They need to.

The smartphone market in the west is done, and owned by Samsung

That's the cheaper 5C (plastic) model.

I don't think we've got to the 5S yet.

Thanks chebby i didn't realize their was more than one model.

64-bit, fingerprint reader which is surprisingly easy to use. Not clear if 5C also has this. Looks interesting!

I like the fingerprint reader idea, not much else there interests me. Roll on the iPad 5 for me.

The 5C is basically the 5 in a plastic casing, so I doubt it has the fingerprint reader.

Needs to be 100% reliable (which it won't be) to be adopted my the masses

There are having a laugh ain't they? :O

4S £350 now, can't be bad.

 

[buzz_lightclick]

At least the 64GB 5S has only gone up £10 from last year's version. I can't believe they want £629 for the 32GB though!

iPhone 5 completely gone.

I now see why you could get such good deals on it.

Well, it's 1st generation so will take time to perfect. Certainly a step in the right direction. I can see it attract businesses.

£350 for a 2year old phone! I'd say that was pretty bad

 

[MajorFubar]

By the time my 4S contract's up in March the 5S will be available on decent terms I reckon. I can see me going for it.

Anyone else but me miss Jobs' finishing with "and it's available...today". Nothing's available until next Wednesday at the earliest. (iOS 7)
