Apple just announced the much-anticipated iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c at an event in Cupertino, and both devices will go on sale next Friday, September 20. The iPhone 5s hopes to compete with the latest high-end devices from the likes of Samsung, Nokia, and HTC, while the iPhone 5c aims to be a decent midrange offering that’ll get you into Apple’s ecosystem without breaking the bank.

So how do these devices stack up against their rivals? We’ve compared the iPhone 5s with the Galaxy S4, the HTC One, the Nokia Lumia 1020, and other popular devices to help you establish which one provides you with the most bang for your buck. We’ve also thrown in the iPhone 5c for good measure so that you can decide whether its price tag is as good as it seems.

Samsung-Dyson

Samsung has earned quite a name for itself copying Apple’s most successful products, but it’s not only in smartphones, tablets, computers, and accessories where the South Korean company sources its inspiration from its closest rivals. British manufacturer Dyson is suing Samsung for allegedly ripping off one of its inventions in a new vacuum cleaner that was unveiled at IFA in Berlin last week.

Tablet-Twitter-app

Twitter should have released a proper tablet app for Android several years ago, but we’ve been forced to use a blown-up version of the mobile client instead. But not anymore. Believe it or not, the company has (slowly) been working on a tablet app for Android, and a leaked version of it is available to download now.

I just finished writing about how expensive the Galaxy Gear will be when it launches in the U.K. later this month, but Samsung’s new high-security Galaxy S III, which is now available in Germany, makes its Android-powered smartwatch look like something from a bargain bin.

The device will cost €1,700 ($2,243) with a two-year contract.

Galaxy-Note-3-Galaxy-Gear

Samsung has now priced its new Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Gear for the United Kingdom, and you might be surprised to see how much they’ll sell for without a contract. The Galaxy Note 3 will cost you £649 ($1,018), which isn’t exactly overly excessive for a high-end smartphone these days — but the Galaxy Gear will cost a whopping £299 ($469).

£299 for a clever wristwatch.
