Well, the press event just wrapped up, and I'm sure our excellent bloggers will be digesting and rounding up all the details for days. Coming to iPhoneland will be a bevy of colors (iPhone 5S: Gold, Silver, and a "Space-Gray"; iPhone 5C: White, Blue, Green, Red, and Yellow). To accompany the new 5S: $39 leather cases, in 5 colors, and $29 silicon cases for the 5C. News about older iPhone models was somewhat surprising, but makes sense when you think about it: The iPhone 5 goes away, and the 4S 8GB model will become free with contract. A pricing roundup on the new models follows. (source CNET):
iPhone 5S (on contract)
16GB model - $199
32GB model - $299
64GB model - $399
iPhone 5C (on contract)
16GB model - $99
32GB model - $199
Something noted during the covereage but not mentioned at the event was the fact that the 5C 16GB version still carries a hefty non-contract price tag of $549. New models should be available on Sep, 20th 2013.
