Watching the Apple events...some interesting stuff.
o The "cheap" iPhone isn't cheap. $99 nod contract, so probably only $100 cheaper off contract
o Expectations were for a 33% faster chip. It's 100% faster than the iPhone 5, 40X faster than original iPhone, graphics also twice as fast, 56X faster than original iPhone. And it's the first ever 64bit phone - that's huge! Desktop-class power!
o Also has a motion coprocessor, for use in health and fitness apps
o fingerprint reader, as expected. Security to get into phone, and also authenticates you for iTunes purchases (that's a huge number of key codes/passwords every day it would save me already). I expect apps will soon incorporate it for other eretail as well
o Added NTT Docomo in Japan, which has $60m customers
o no announcement for china Mobile (700m subscribers), but by all accounts that will be announced soon
o Stock is down after announcements, which is almost always the case (sel on the news), but I think it will be a lot higher by the end of the year.
