Has Apple lost its mojo? The question first started appearing as the realization came that with Steve Jobs Apple jost more than just another chief executive - it lost a leader and a visionary.

The latest Apple event was a litmus as everyone was watching closely what Apple announces. There were no surprises. The leaks that have been pouring from all sides for months on end all turned out true. There was a higher-end iPhone 5s with a fingerprint sensor included and better camera, and a colorful plastic iPhone 5c. The 5c was cheaper, but not cheap at all, maybe that was the one surprise.
