Wasn't that one of the first 32bit consoles? Or are you just highlighting an increase in architecture won't result in a successful product?   
 
 
Confused about them making a big thing about the 'motion processor M7'.....it's just a gyro, multi-axis accelerometer and a compass in a single package? Which is nothing new. Or does this do some actual processing?

Also a bit misleading putting the 64 bit stuff in with the speed increases, unless it's actually because it's 64bit that it's so much faster, which I doubt.

720p at 120fps is pretty impressive in a phone.

Liking the camera and the dual flash, pretty decent feature. Although i'm not convinced the sensors extra 0.1µm pixel size increase will result in a drastically better picture. 
 
Edit - It's still doesn't offer 4K recording or optical stabilisation though

They marketed it as the world's first 64-bit console, but was really built around a Motorola 68000 and GPU which ran a 32-bit instruction set but had two 64-bit graphics co-processors.

Fingerprint instead of typing passwords is a better use of it than to unlock the phone.

It's launching in China so they'll have no shortage, probably have a billion of them ready to go.

No information on it's security features to prevent 'gummy' (using gelatin copies etc) or being able to determine between live and 'dead' prints. Will have to wait for reviews but it's not particular secure from a business/enterprise point of view.

All that will happen now is that not only will people nick your phone, they'll cut your thumb off as well.

Shame the 5C isnt as cheep as i thought, would have had that for 12month contract and then waited for the 6! Feels strange buying a phone (5s) with just a couple of rather dull updates!

However, on the plus side it makes looking at your mates missus pics easier when they're passed out
