Was there anything that was pleasantly surprising BoB?

[Anonymous]

Apple Store (UK) lists 4 versions of the 5S with all the relevant LTE bands

O2 compatibility not listed (they only have 3 mentioned on the web-page

We need O2 to state if new phone is compatible with the LTE they are deploying

I think the prices of the handsets are going to be competitive which should open up the market.

They certainly have improved the new iphone by improving what's under the hood.

Better camera and camera specs.

Finger print sensor with the ability to both unlock and make app store purchases.

a7 chip improves over iphone 5 a6 chip.

Better battery specs {time will tell if this is true in the real world}

I was hoping for say a 128gb model but unfortunately this has not happened.

I'm also interested to see what the competitors do !
