Gotta love that EVERY thing announced has been leaked for weeks if not months. Apple can't keep any secrets anymore.

Can anyone? Movies are spoiled before they've wrapped editing. People live for spoilers anymore.

I hardly think Apple is trying to keep anything secret. They want the information out there in hopes of gaining a larger market share from people that generally go with Android. If they can entice people away from Android with their new specs, then it's more money in their already full pockets.

I think its to keep people from moving to Android rather than away. By releasing these unofficial leaks, they gave people an idea of what they were waiting for months ahead of release and hopefully keeping them excited/curious, all while maintaining their "top secret" reputation.
I think Apple realizes that strong interest in their phone is waning thanks to tough competition, and can no longer keep everything on total lock down for a year, as they could just a couple years ago. To maintain interest and hype, they've either gotta periodically release leaks now or expand their phone line (as they are with the 5C) and have releases more often, in my opinion.

Not really.
It's an Australian kid 23 I think that knows people who work at foxconn in China and they send him photos and details of what ever Apple is planning to do or make.
That is where all these leaks are coming from and in the news piece I read Apple have been going over his blog and been checking the sites and things he's been doing online.
currently he's gone into hiding because he's worried about Apple suing him but he thinks he can't be touched law wise as he's not really breaking the law by leaking everything Apple does.

audio-only FaceTime calls with iOS 7, so it makes regular calls then.... Also I'll believe the battery life when I see it, a 64bit processor is not light on power consumption.

Agree. Apple needs to release more models and more often. They've relied far too long on thinking every single person will upgrade instantly to the yearly model. I skip a generation or two with each of their products, but I have to admit, it's tough to keep up with a Motorola or Samsung that don't commit to a cycle, as they appear to have "better" specs because they don't hold out to release their phones.

People must be getting bored. I remember when Apple had a big launch this site would get more than 8 user comments. Apple haven't learned any lessons yet and people are becoming numb to their bland updates.

Investors thought it was bland, as well. Stock is down 5% today.

Same phone, over and over. I sell 95 droids to 5 iPhones. Apple came out with the coolest phone ever 5 years ago but have done nothing with it. I show my customers an iPhone 5 then hold my galaxy s4 up to it and ask which screen would you rather read an email or watch a video on? The answer is Droid every time. iPhones sit and get dusty at my store.

Great now the NSA will potentially have a way to have global finger print database at low overheads as well.
