iPhone 5S: Apple, you're BORING us to DEATH (And you too, Samsung)

Faster, golder, cheaper, more plasticky... Yawn

Comment Apple's keynotes seem to command more mainstream front-page press attention than ever before – but each time, there's less and less to report. Is the modern smartphone era limping to a close?

Apple's announcements on Tuesday about the iPhone 5S and 5C were wearily predictable. Cupertino just doesn't seem to be where the action is any more.

iPhone 5s and 5c: Apple competing on price, not innovation

Every year during the month of September there is a section of consumers across the world that wait for one particular announcement – this announcement has nothing to do with appraisals, increments, trade fairs, holidays or festivals. The ‘defining’ event is, in fact, the annual announcement of a new version of Apple’s iPhone, the 2013 versions of which were announced yesterday in the US.
