| |  |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  | | Week in Tech | | | | GTA 5 rocks up in a week of Apple news | | | We’ll start with an apology: if you hate Apple, Apple products, Apple operating systems, people who like Apple products, people who have been inside Apple Stores or just the word Apple, you're only getting four words in this week's newsletter: GTA 5 is out! And that's your lot. Stop! Apple time! You saw the fancy videos, but how does the iPhone 5S stand up in the real world? A minor price hike means that the iPhone 5S is "one of the most expensive smartphones out there, even on 3G price plans." Is it worth the extra cost? The short answer is "hmmm." It's "one of the most cutting-edge smartphones around, imbued with a top-end camera and a really innovative feature with Touch ID." That's the good. The bad? Price, the relatively small screen, price and price. Meanwhile, the iPhone 5C - Apple’s first effort at a budget option - is essentially a plastic iPhone 5, and it isn't as cheap as many hoped. The whole thing leaves us rather puzzled. As a device it's nice enough, but "its price tag, overall design and lack of premium feel leave a slightly unpleasant taste." Both the iPhone 5S and 5C run iOS 7, the latest and possibly greatest version of Apple's mobile operating system. We've put together a list of the major differences between iOS 7 and iOS 6, so you can see whether your favourite features have been affected. |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In this week | | | | | | | ■ | Week in Tech: GTA 5 rocks up in a week of Apple news | | | | | | | ■ | Talking points: KitKat release date, GTA 5 comes early on Amazon, iOS 7 tips, and PS4 speeds away from Xbox One | | | | | | | ■ | Competition: WIN!
