Event

Laptops
MacBooks are best selling laptops in states

Integrated touch sensors into screen, so less layers, less glare.
Reviewers tells us screen is a lot brighter
LTE
single chip
Support around the globe
EE included (rumours that LTE will be more expensive)
Phone in UK will be 1800Mhz only (850Mhz and 2100Mhz versions also available in other countries), so O2 and vodafone, which are supposed to work with 800Mhz and 2.6Ghz might be out of luck. By then new iPhone should be out.
Btw, Three LTE coming second half of 2013

Digest…
Cant quite figure out if they are trying to pull more words and insignificant bulletpoints to mask the fact that there really isn't anything huge to announce or if they genuinely believe that all of these things are great on their own
Sounds to me like OSX Mountain Lion
What was not here, what have others done better?
-NFC
-Optical stabilisation
-no new design
-no wireless charging
-no iOS surprises (why the heck not? wheather app icon still does not change; no third party widgets on notifications center; no third party siri integration; You gotta think they have to be working on a new home screen at some level in the company)
-AirDrop
Why would somebody buy this instead of iPhone 4S?
Video…
I ordered at 8:19, by 9:05 they had slipped to 2 weeks
Anandtech:
"The iPhone 5 also feels substantially different in the hand. The 4 and 4S always felt solid, the 5 moves to a much more ethereal form, and the lightness almost makes it feel like a hollow metal box. It's very hard to convey.
Overall after our short time with the iPhone 5 I'm very positive about the end result."
Not sure if this is due to the whole Apple event bus or if it's substantial enough.
refer to article…
