Apple September Event: A Disappointing Yet Surprisingly Entertaining Experience

The Apple September event is usually a big one, and this year was no exception. We expected more from the company than normal, with rumors of new iPods, iPads, MacBooks, and even a revamped Mavericks operating system. However, what we got was two things: iOS 7, Apple's new mobile operating system, and two new phones, the iPhone 5c and the iPhone 5S.

First, let's take a look at iOS 7, which is undoubtedly the biggest change that Apple brought to the table. We've been waiting for what feels like an eternity for this operating system, and finally, it's here. However, as we all know, with great power comes great responsibility, and Apple still has a long way to go before they fully explain why iOS 7 is great, especially for old users. Despite that, we were able to get a good look at some of the new apps and services that will be available with this update, which are coming next week.

One of the two new phones that Apple unveiled was the iPhone 5c. This phone is marketed as being cheaper than the previous models, but let's be real, it's not exactly cheap either. The price point on contract is $99, and while it does come in five different colors - blue, red, yellow, green, and white - the plastic back feels more like a toy than the cold metallic iPhone 5. It's essentially just putting plastic on plastic at this point, with new cases for the iPhone 5c that look really cool but don't offer much in terms of innovation.

The other phone that Apple introduced was the iPhone 5S, which is their new flagship device. This phone replaces the iPhone 5 and, as expected, it's not a huge aesthetic change from its predecessor. However, under the hood, there are some significant upgrades, including a new processor, the A7, and a motion processor called M7. But the biggest changes come in the form of the home button, which is now shallower and features a fingerprint sensor embedded within it. This allows users to unlock their phone and make purchases with just a tap of their finger on the sensor. It's a feature that's both secure and convenient.

The iPhone 5S also comes in new colors - silver, gold, and space gray - but let's be real, these are just marketing gimmicks. The big changes here are the things you hopefully won't see except iOS 7, which will definitely be making its debut with this phone. The price point for the iPhone 5S is $199 on contract, and it'll be available on carriers in countries around the world.

Despite the excitement surrounding the new phones, Apple's September event was largely uneventful. We expected more from the company than normal, but what we got was two phones that, while exciting, didn't exactly blow us away. Apple says they're doubling down on secrecy, which is ironic given how much of this event leaked before it even happened. The surprise of Elvis Costello being part of the event was a nice touch, however.

Now that the dust has settled, we're left waiting for more from Apple. We still haven't seen much of iOS 7 on an iPad, and there's still no word on new MacBook Pros or that Mac Pro we've all been hearing about. With fall coming to a close, we can only speculate on what's next for Apple. Will they finally deliver on their promises, or will we be left waiting again? Only time will tell.

Elvis Costello Makes an Appearance

In a surprise twist, Elvis Costello made an appearance at the Apple September event. While it may seem like an odd choice to include in this event, it's actually a nice touch that adds some much-needed levity to what could have otherwise been a dull experience. The fact that Apple chose to highlight one of their biggest music legends is a testament to the company's ability to think outside the box and make even the most mundane events feel special.

Elvis Costello may not be directly related to Apple's latest offerings, but he does bring a touch of class and sophistication to what could have otherwise been a dull event. His presence is a reminder that there's more to life than just technology, and that sometimes, it's okay to take a step back and appreciate the little things.

Looking Ahead to October

As we wrap up this review of Apple's September event, we're left wondering what's next for the company. With iOS 7 finally released, we can only speculate on what other updates and innovations are in store. Will we see new MacBook Pros or that Mac Pro? Only time will tell.

In the meantime, we'll be keeping a close eye on Apple's upcoming releases, eagerly awaiting any news or announcements that might come our way. With fall coming to a close, it's shaping up to be an exciting few months for tech enthusiasts around the world. Stay tuned, folks - there's always something new and exciting on the horizon.

Mavericks the OS 10 operating system but really what we got was two things well first we got a good look at iOS 7 the company's new mobile operating system which the company has a long way to go before it's really explained to users and especially old users why it's great but we saw some of the new apps some of the new services and it's coming next week whether you like it or not the two new things we saw were phones first the iPhone 5c the new cheaper I say cheaper because it's not really cheap it's $99 on contract but it looks just like the iPhone 5 in a new shell it comes in five colors blue red yellow green and white and it's a plastic back it feels a lot better than some of the plastic phones we've seen but it still feels a lot more like a toy than the cold metallic iPhone 5 from the camera to the processor to everything else it's just like the iPhone 5 with a new case on it and there are even new cases for the iPhone 5C which also look really cool but again just basically putting plastic on plastic at that point the other phone Apple's new flagship device is the iPhone 5S it's $199 on contract it's replacing the iPhone 5 and like most of the S updates we've seen it's not a huge aesthetic change most of what's new is under the hood there's a new processor the A7 plus the new M7 a motion processor which allows it to do a number of new things but the biggest changes are in the home button of all places it's a little shallower it's still clicky but what it has now is a fingerprint sensor embedded so you can open your phone you can buy things all just by tapping your finger on the sensor it's super secure cuz it's your fingerprint but it gives you a whole range of options that you wouldn't have had otherwise this is what we expect from S updates it looks the same it's just as thin it's just as light it comes in new colors silver and gold and space gray whatever that means but the big changes here are things you hopefully won't see except iOS 7 which you'll most definitely see it's $199 it's coming out on carriers in countries around the world and it's very much Apple's new flagship phone iOS 7 is a much bigger change than anything else that's come before it but the iPhone 5S is really more or less what we expected and that's really the story here we basically knew all of this going in everything had been leaked to death Apple says it's doubling down on secrecy but then all of this was out there before the event ever started Elvis Costello was a surprise so that was something at this point we're really looking towards October there's still a lot left for Apple to do this fall we're still looking to see the new software on more devices we got a quick look at iOS 7 on an iPad but still haven't seen much we're still waiting for Mavericks we're waiting for new Macbook Pros and we're waiting for lots more we're still waiting for that Mac Pro too so really at this point we're waiting for OctoberApple September
