In all the hullabaloo about the launch of a couple of new iPhones, handset rival Nokia stole most of the limelight with a barbed tweet.
The tech world is still abuzz over the latest product launch from Apple. There is some disappointment about the rather high price of their rumoured ‘cheaper’ iPhone5C, while other features like iTunes radio, a new camera and fingerprint security make the new iPhone5S something most of us can’t wait to get our hands on.
You can find out all the details here but on Twitter, most of the chat was about a fairly epic, and clearly pre-planned, Nokia tweet. With coloured versions of the iPhone well flagged as being launched, Nokia decided to call Apple out for copying their bright Lumia range with their iPhone5C.

They also had a lash at the iPhone5S…

With Microsoft set to take over the Finnish company early next year, we wonder is this the first shots fired in a war between the two tech giants.
