Looks like the NSA will be getting a database of 500ppi fingerprints up and running.
I was wondering about this too, but it looks like it's only stored on the phone.
Or at least that's what they claim.

I agree we shouldn't be parading this 64-bit upgrade like it's the best thing since sliced bread. Why not just toss it to the side like the things that us users here don't care as much about like camera flash. It's nice to have and let's just leave it there.

Heh.Looks like the NSA will be getting a database of 500ppi fingerprints up and running.
It's a better phone than I thought it was going to be that's for sure.
How come I'm the only one not excited about this? Hm...
It doesn't matter if its 100 apps that each take up 1 gb of memory. 64 bit doesn't help that at all.
64 bit has no influence at all on multi tasking. It's primary benefit, in the desktop area, is the fact that on 64bit a single program can allocate more than 3.2 gb of RAM for itself.

The 5C doesn't look like a bad phone - but still, you used to be able to get last year's flagship at $99 on contract - now it's last years phone in a cheaper shell for that price. <edit> And now confirmed $550 off contract - seriously lol for the 'budget' iPhone. </edit>
pricing for either phone?
Here's the thing. We always knew Apple was the bad guy when it came to price extortion for memory. However, our savior Google isn't doing any better by releasing 8gb/16gb Nexus 4s and removing all SD cards.Still have the gall to charge $100 for memory increments - Apple certainly could have helped shift base phones to 32GB, but didn't. Everyone else has shifted to $30-$50 increments - wow to $100 for 16GB to 32GB - for something like $9 more in BOM.

Everything else was meh except the fingerprint sensor - not revolutionary, but a good feature to have and should come on more phones.
It's on the Apple store now - somewhat laughable to me.
$550/650 for the 16/32 5C
$650/750/850 for the 16/32/64 5S
