    Fingerprint for buying from the various Apple Stores. That's the first step to adding it for all purchase places. NFC or online. 

     

    This could be pretty important.

    Apple is going to get hit with an anti-trust suit SO frigging hard.

    Not sure what that refers to...?

    There will be a popup to download iLife and iWork in iOS 7. That, and them being free, hearkens back to Microsoft's bundling in the '90s.

    4S for free. That makes sense.

    Will need to hop over to a neighboring country to get it; NL dates not revealed, sadly. Last year it took like 5 more weeks.

    Since Android is "winning", Apple aren't exploiting a monopoly.

    Guess something good might come out of that, after all.

    Not sold on the gold. But have to see all models in person.

    Of course it's a question! The way it has been presented is that they come preloaded on new devices but that for existing devices you may still have to purchase them from the app store.

    Asked and answered then, I'd say.

    That's wrong.

     

    Note that GarageBand isn't free.

    Maybe, it's not clear to me. There is one sentance in that article that suggests that they are only preloaded, but then there is another that suggests they will be free to current devices. It sure will be nice if they are just free at the app store!

    AI's not known for articles with internal or external consistency. Apple.com proves that thought wrong, end of story.

    Well that is encouraging! Although that ad says for your iPhone 5's and I want it for my 5th gen iPod Touch, but that sure looks like it will be free for all the current iOS devices. Can't wait to try 'em out!

    Is it iPhone 5s then? As opposed to 5S, to match 4S and 3GS?

    Seems a weird, arbitrary change.

    I took that to mean plural, like both iPhone 5s (5C & 5S)

    Indeed. Their pages have it as such, but let's wait until this page is updated to see for certain. Perhaps it's just an error right now.
