Sadly, no giant screen on any of these. Doesn’t look like a requirement either, with these feature updates.
The iOS 7 will be available for download on 18th Sept for iPhone 4, 4S and iPad. Pre-order is open from 13th Sept for the iPhone 5C. Both the phones will be available for purchase by 20th Sept.
Looks like Apple disappointed developing markets like India with its over-hyped pricing of the iPhone 5C variant.
Nothing new, only few specs are improved in iPhone 5S. The iPhone 5C is overpriced. Sadly, this time also Apple has not changed its tagline “Made for Rich”
