New iPhones 5 C/S

[kNIOKAS]

The lower-cost iPhone 5C will be available in five colors — green, blue, yellow, pink and white. CEO Tim Cook calls it "more fun and colorful" than any other iPhone. The 5C has a 4-inch Retina display and is powered by Apple's A6 chip. It also has an 8 megapixel camera, live photo filters and a rear cover that lights up.

Without a contract, the 5C costs $549 and $649 depending on memory size.

The second phone, the 5S, is "the most forward-looking phone we have ever created," said Phil Schiller, senior vice president of worldwide marketing at Apple. It will come in silver, gold and "space gray" and run a new chip, the A7 that is up to twice as fast as the A6.

Schiller said the new phone can run more health and fitness applications. These apps have become increasingly popular as more people use them to track exercise routines, calorie intake and even sleep patterns.

The 5S also includes "Touch ID," which reads fingerprints at a "detailed level," Schiller said. He said it is "fun and easy" to teach the 5S about your fingerprint and once you do, you can just touch the home button to unlock the phone. The company said fingerprints will not be stored on its servers.

Well, I guess it's good news for Apple fans. The most forward-looking phone now collects your biometrical data, and lets you run more health and fitness applications, just how you like 'em. And no, they say they won't bother to host info on their own servers. Good for Apple.

I'll probably get that 5S in the new year.

My 4S has been the absolute best phone i've ever owned. Works just as well as the day I got it.

I'm going to get the C. I actually like the plastic (all Japan phones are that kind of plastic before the smartphones hit) and I want a cheaper phone because my kids play with it at times. The 5 seems too fragile for that and the new stuff is interesting but i don't need it.

Mine too.

I've had it for 2 years now. It's been dropped many times (with a case on it) and I have it in my pocket while exercising. I can't notice any differences from how it performed two years ago.

Affordable phone that starts at $550?

Do you own a phone company? Otherwise who would pay that?

I love my 4-s too. I'm gonna wait until I download the new OS on 9/18 to see if I want any more of an upgrade.

Well that's my point. They are trying to get a marketshare in emerging markets like India and China but will never at that price point. The Samsung Mini S4 is in the $400 range which people are saying is bit high.

I bought my S3 on Ebay last year (new) for $400. I'm gonna keep it for a while.

The 5C is $99 with a 2 year contract.
