The 64gb is £540 from the US - £709 here!
That won't be including taxes I don't think. Differs from state to state

Even so Jambo most state tax is 6-9%. Be cheaper to get one out there and dodge the VAT and the import duty.

Still not NFC (thought they'd add this as Passbook is shite) or wireless charging (predictable) though.
Missed the finger print sensor and 64bit parts of the keynote then?

Looks like they've gone from the slate colour to grey as it's 'very' hard to annodize a durable finish in black, as shown with the iphone 5.

Looks like the 4G part is only compatible with the EE and Vodafone spectrums

Some of the LTE bands aren't supported on the US version; otherwise it'll work fine.
Different version according to apple nerds. The product code confirmed this.

The same/less than every other phone manufacturer given you get better hardware for a similar price.

Also the warranty is only a US warranty so if it breaks you need to get it back there.

Different countries have different warranty periods.

don't think they are. The iPod warranties used to be before the iPhone existed but since the iPhone I think they have been regional.

hmm looks like Engdaget have edited the article I read. It now says
"The new models will start shipping out on September 20th (there's no pre-order for the iPhone 5s), "
and says the 13/20 is for 5C only

Enlighten me, technically, to what the advantages are going to 64bit in a mobile device? I've already explained why there is little use for it.
As for the TouchID, it's been done before in phones and other mobile devices and so far, especially in terms of security features against 'fake' prints, there is little information to why this sensor improves on that.
By all means, show me data that states otherwise.
Edit - Actually, thinking about it you're doubling the bandwidth within every cycle. Although it depends on the surrounding architecture whether or not this results in a performance increase. We'll have to what for a strip down from iFixit etc.

Again, US version doesn't support all of the LTE bands available in the UK. Otherwise, it'll work fine.
