The internet reacts to Apple's launches

To those who follow the tech press there were few surprises at Apple's annual iPhone update. Yes, the high-end 5S handset gets a fingerprint sensor. Yes, there's a new cheaper version, the 5C, made with plastic back which comes in colours. Yes, both come equipped with Jony Ive's revamped iOS7 which is now ready for launch. But perhaps the biggest surprises were over what was not included. No NFC (near field communication) chip to turn the handsets into digital wallets. No boost in the number of megapixels on the camera. No option for 128 gigabytes storage and no bigger screen. There was also no super-cheap price for the 5C. In the UK it will actually cost more than some people had been paying for the 4S. Instead that 4S model now becomes the lowest cost option to tempt those into Apple's ecosystem. Even so the event still generated frenzied reaction in some parts of the net.
