So the prize is still up for grabs for anyone who wants to try. Lomac?

Nah, I'm good. My concern stemmed from the worry that Apple was merely using the same heat and pulse style sensor that's already been proven extremely hackable and not something new.  |

alright...so i got family and friends all over BC.
Looks like other City's besides Vancouver & Victoria barely got anything in stock,some telus stores didn't even get the Gold Iphone 5S at all.
Sneaky apple is holding back supply,I heard next week from Two store reps in two different cites 1000 km away from each other Will be getting a restock of iPhone 5S.
Tons of people out there are Still replacing their iphone 5 and giving it to their kids/wifes as hand me down iphones for the newer 5S...it's crazy out there...Sold out everywhere including telus stores/futureshop.

That's great news for AAPL and their shareholders
Now how many of those 200 million are now using a phone that is laggy and uses more battery, and will have to upgrade sooner than expected  | |

Question for all those in HK.
I haven't heard of any stories but are people still stealing iphones from people like before? Heard stuff like people would snatch it out of your hands, or rob people just to take their phone and resell it lol

Do any of the provider retail stores have the 5s or do you have to reserve it online only?

if you dress too little in hk and china you will also get drag into an alley and raped. people will chop your hands off if you wear flashy watches like rolex. They have also recently engage in head scalping due to the increase in popularity of implanting real human hair on balding asian head, so hide your hair well if your one of those guy or girl with lush long locks

Posted via RS Mobile | Yup that too! iOS7 saturation is almost as high as Android 4.x but it got there MUCH faster.
I don't know if a 2009 era iphone with iOS 7 is worth developing for any more than a 2009 Android phone with 2.x though

I don't know if a 2009 era iphone with iOS 7 is worth developing for any more than a 2009 Android phone with 2.x though | Which 2009 iPhone will get iOS 7? iPhone 4 came out in summer of 2010. Whether a person is satisfied with running iOS 7 on a 4 or 4S is irrelevant - they at least have the opportunity to run Apps using the new API's.
What would you, as a developer, prefer to write software for?
- A 2 year old iPhone 4S running iOS 7.
or
- A brand new phone introduced in 2013 running Jelly Bean. Say a Galaxy Star, LG L3 II or Acer Liquid Z2, for example.

Ppl still write for android as the approval process is easy (to none) but the app has a fair chance of not being supported by a good portion of android devices in the market

Some platforms are harder to develop for than others, but it means nothing. You develop apps based on where the money is.
You think people *wanted* to develop in Objective-C? A crap language that no one knew until 2007?
It doesn't matter if Android is fragmented, or if iOS is restrictive, or if the approval process is long or short. People make apps for where the money is, that's it.
I'm not saying iOS is better than Android or vice versa, but don't use ease of development as a reason.. If that were the case, consoles would be screwed.
