    You can stay on that plan, the way I understand. My friend has his data planned grandfathered in and has unlimited LTE.

    But I do think they throttle you when you exceed a certain amount of Gigs.

    Btw, I'm looking forward to the ios7 announcement date the most.

    I was hoping for today...oh well.

    My friend has a beta version and it looks pretty awesome but he said it drains the battery like crazy...which I can't say is surprising but I hope they fix it.

    No price drop on iPhone 5 this year. Instead, they will replace the 5 with a new model not 5S.

    "We took the same fanatical care of how the iPhone 5C feels in your hand."

    I really like the look of iOS 7. I've been waiting to upgrade from an iPhone 4 and I think this is the push that'll make me do it. While I like the look of the gold 5S, the classic black looks really sleek. I do have a grandfathered unlimited data plan on Verizon, so I hope they'll let me keep that with an upgrade. If not, I'll tell them I'm leaving for Sprint.

    Yes you're right. So technically yes 5C=5 but not sure if the specs will be the same

    Is it really a big deal 5S has a 64 bit chip?

    Verizon will make you switch to a tiered data plan. AT&T is the only carrier that will give you an upgrade subsidy and allow you to maintain unlimited data.

    Looks like major upgrades to the camera.

    "New flash called True Tone, which is a dual LED flash, one cool and white, the other warm and amber"

    "It chooses from between 1000 different possible colors to match the room, and solves the problem of clashing color temperatures"

    "Auto image stabilization too! This is a phone camera designed for drunk people, as it should be."

    "It takes multiple photos, combines the sharpest one. Also has a burst mode of 10 frames per second."

    "Annnnnd slo-mo! As rumored, you can now shoot 120fps slo-mo video...It captures 720HD video at 120fps, you can select which parts you want fast and which you want slow."

    "Passcodes are the most popular way to protect your phone, but most people don't use it. Enter Touch ID.

    Which is now official on the iPhone 5S. And yes, it's a fingerprint reader."
