So who else is looking forward to this tomorrow?! I've been an apple product consumer for now 4 years. I've had like 3 iPods, and recently in May I bought an iPad. Now I'm really excited because I've been due for an upgrade for months, and with this new iPhone coming out I've decided I'd just get this.

Also, changes to the iPod and iPod Touch lineup are rumored, along with iOS6 and a bunch of other stuff.

I've got a 3yo 3GS that's on it's last legs, been looking forward to this. If it's just an updated 4 with a slightly longer screen I'm gonna look at a Samsung or the new Nokia Lumia. I just want it to look different to a 4 :oldlol:

So, you've already convinced your parents to buy you yet another redundant Apple product? Good on you, man. I wish my parents were that liberal with many when I was a kid.

It's my bro. He was questioning what to get me for my birthday and he didn't know, so he just decided to leave it up for me to decide a phone that I want. I'll be paying the monthly bill though as I work on the weekends. :cheers:

:wtf: What's up with people assuming that parents have to be insanely generous to get their children an iPhone. 6 of my 9 closest friends have an iPhone 4 or 4S. Almost everyone in the school has an iPhone as well.

Why have you had 3 ipods in 4 years?

Well I got a Nano in like 2008, then my brother bought me the newer Nano in like 2010, and then I got the small watch nano when it came out.

Faster processor, more RAM, longer screen and better quality viewing. Probably faster in a bunch more departments and then you get iOS6 on there. :rockon:

Yes it does. Is your current phone broken? Then you don't have to upgrade, you're spoiled and you jizzed when you saw the new iphone that you can show all your kiddie friends. :lol I've had that phone for 3 years, ipod classic for 4.

What can the new one do that the current one can't?

According to the rumors:

Faster processor
Thinner
better battery life
LTE
Longer screen
New screen technology
Improved camera
Bigger speakers
Smaller dock connector (possibly magsafe)
New earphones
New design
Possibly newer version of Gorilla Glass
Unibody encasing (making it stronger, lighter, more durable)

Along with new iOS 6 and possibly new services that have yet to be mentioned. One feature that I'm looking forward to is 'Passbook'. Apple's version of NFC technology. It's basically a digital wallet that lets you store your cards, tickets, coupons etc.etc. of course, it's the 'implementation' that'll make it useful since there's already apps and phones that have similar functionalities/features.

09-12-2012, 01:47 AM

According to the rumors:

Faster processor

Not quite. When you look at the benchmarks, there's hardly any difference.

Thinner

wow really so all the new Iphone offers is that its .5 inch thinner? Okay cool.

better battery life

unconfirmed.

LTE
Longer screen

Here goes Apple copying Samsung again.

New screen technology

False, screen with builtin touch is not a "new" screen technology.
It has been in use wildly since the 00s. Just because Apple id last to the party and starts using something doesn't make it "new" dumbass. "New screen technology" LMAO. wow talk about being a sheeple and straight up clueless.

Improved camera

Really? thats not an upgrade.

Bigger speakers

Now you are just reaching.

Smaller dock connector (possibly magsafe)

This has nothing to do with the Iphone 5.

New earphones

Again nothing to do with the Iphone 5.

New design

Actually there is no new design. Its just taller with a much smaller battery.
Its thinner because the battery size was reduced. Thats the only difference between the 4 and 5. and dont even get me started with 4 and 4s gimmick.

Possibly newer version of Gorilla Glass

Just stop you are embrassing yourself. At this point its funny at best

Unibody encasing (making it stronger, lighter, more durable)
We are talking about the iphone 5 device. Not whether it got a face lift. Get it right.

Along with new iOS 6 and possibly new services that have yet to be
mentioned. One feature that I'm looking forward to is 'Passbook'. Apple's version of NFC technology. It's basically a digital wallet that lets you store your cards, tickets, coupons etc.etc. of course, it's the 'implementation' that'll make it useful since there's already apps and phones that have similar functionalities/features.

IO6 exists in i4. All you have said here is regurgitated nonsense from a typical fanboy. Only an iphone sheeple will somehow turn the fact that the iphone is missing a crucial feature "NFC" into a good thing with their blatant deluded rationalization.

wow.

09-12-2012, 02:58 AM

Still have a bit over a year left on my 4S contract. 199$ upfront and 15$ a month for their required data plan, so that is 360$ data over the course of two years. Not that expensive to own and easily worth 200+ in a year and I'll just use that to upgrade to the next Iphone. Not in any hurry to get the 5.

A lot of the latest rumors have been downplaying the possibility of NFC.

I'll prob be getting it since I currently use an Android phone and before that I had the 3GS. I like switching things up every couple of years.

i want the phone. my wife wants the phone. We already have apple products so its easier to use another one.

I get people like other products, but some people like apple products too. ANd i doubt there is a wait in line for a week, you call up your carrier and say "ID LIKE ONE" and they say "OK".

My boy came over the other day and I was trying it out.

Not as bad as the other versions of Droid OS, but still not iOS quality. The phone still felt clunky, ugly and cheap.

There is no such thing as 4G for cell users, It's just dedicated 3G renamed for marketing purposes. Actual 4G is controlled by the US Military and is for GPS purposes only. (public and military use)

It's faster only as long as it's not over polluted with users, once everyone is on the fake 4G band or LTE the older less used 3G bands will be rededicated, renamed and faster. It's a techno shell game.

You guys are actually the sheep. Why do you want to carry a monstrosity of a phone? Droid phones are freaking too big and it's funny as hell that I see people carrying around those things because they think it's cool.

Give me an Iphone all day everyday. Small and thin and can do a lot.

Sometimes it isn't about software or specs....form factor is very important.

I remember a time when cell phones were like bricks. Then they made it smaller and smaller. Which was great. Then they got bigger and bigger because phones became mini-computers.

I like what Apple is doing and that is by sticking with the same attitude...and that's form factor.

Enjoy carrying that big @ss phone while the Iphones will always be a classic when it comes to form factor and function.

Remember, it's still a phone.

Androids are nice, my report has one and he shows me how to do a ton of things on it that are real cool. That said, this is a thread about IPHONE 5 and it's unveiling, not Iphone 5 vs. Android, or which phone is better, etc. Using the thread as a forum to argue one phone against another is just obnoxious.

Make it bigger but not wider due to form factor. It feels real good in your hand when you are talking.

I was using another friend's phone and it just doesn't hold well in the hands when talking.

to be honest here, the iPhone is perfect form factor in your hands. You can practically do everything in one hand.

These big phones today suck because you have to use two hands to do things because the radius of your thumb cannot cover the entire screen.

Your thumb's radius can cover an entire iPhone screen due to it's great size.

Calm down lol. I like Android more too, but acting like this wasn't a good update to the phone isn't smart. It was a good update. They finally made the screen bigger, added 4G, further improved the speed and software.

It is slightly ironic though because before the catchy thing about Apple was how simple it was to use, but since then they've gotten the notifications bar from Android, and now the "command center" type thing where you can control brightness, auto rotate, music playing etc. but they've got the separate (one you drag with one finger down, the other you drag with 2 fingers upward) which is actually more complicated than Android makes it, yet Android is too complicated.

I dislike how thin phones are getting. Maybe it's just a personal preference, but I still feel like the 3GS has had the best form factor. It just fits perfectly in my hand. Feels good to hold, and just nice form all around.

Might upgrade to this in January. Depends on how well iOS 6 runs on my 3GS. I know people complained about 5 ruining it, but personally I think it still runs pretty solidly.
I'm the opposite. I want something thinner and lighter.

My main concern (aside from battery) is the front glass. The back aluminum plate will ease many user's fears, but how about the front glass?

I want to see some drop tests to see if it changed in that aspect.

You guys are actually the sheep. Why do you want to carry a monstrosity of a phone? Droid phones are freaking too big and it's funny as hell that I see people carrying around those things because they think it's cool.

Give me an Iphone all day everyday. Small and thin and can do a lot.

Sometimes it isn't about software or specs....form factor is very important.

I remember a time when cell phones were like bricks. Then they made it smaller and smaller. Which was great. Then they got bigger and bigger because phones became mini-computers.

I like what Apple is doing and that is by sticking with the same attitude...and that's form factor.

Enjoy carrying that big @ss phone while the Iphones will always be a classic when it comes to form factor and function.

Remember, it's still a phone.

No idea what you are harping about. My rezound fits easily in my pocket. The bigger screen is awesome for those of us who like to browse the web, read ebooks, play games, etc. Never once have I held this phone and thought "i wish this phone was smaller"... It's usually the opposite. Fits very well in my hand. Feels sleek and modern and the screen is still one of the most gorgeous around, despite being out for almost a year. Also doesn't feel heavy like the Iphone.

Back to the topic. The specs on the 5 are very underwhelming and you know it. Android phones that have been out for a year are on par with it... And the 5 still needs to be released. I'm actually shocked that this is all they had to offer.

Sure, my 4s got a terrible battery time but other then that it works really well and it's so fast and reliable. Love it.

But the new iPhone really doesn't impress me, a 4 inch screen is not a great upgrade to start with. I've had the S2 who had a 4.3 inch screen and I never felt that it was too big and I even switche to the Galaxy Note with a 5.3 screen and had very little problem with it's size.

Apple using a 4 inch screen is not impressive at all, a 4'3 screen would be great but changing phone for a small upgrade in screen size is just a waste, especially considering that 4 inch is pretty tiny by today's standard.

I certainly prefer it to the posters here defending every single iteration of the Iphone and literally every other Apple product as the greatest piece of tech ever, or the ones screaming about how whatever product they currently own is better than the Iphone in every single way.

It works and it works great is what I care about. I really don't buy into numbers on paper as they do not really affect me.

The reason why you don't think the screens are big, is that the general public is use to it. I already carry a lot of stuff in my pockets and these big @ss phones that are out right now isn't something I want.

too many people make excuses as why they need these big @ss phones and that is they need to browse online with it. Don't get too consumed with your big @ss phone because if you really need to do some hardcore browsing than use a real computer.

If you need to browse quickly, then a 4inch iPhone will do just that. Don't give me the excuse of how you need to browse on a phone.:facepalm Use a computer.

I used to have a 5'3 inch phone a la the Galaxy Note, I can really understand that alot of people found that phone way too big.

But you got to realize that other big companies like Samsung, Nokia, Sony and HTC have plenty of new phone's all the time. It's only Apple who got their one release per year thingy going on. Almost every elite phone from every company makes sense.

The LTE is nothing new and I don't really don't feel that the new iPhone is something I would desire to have. I mean, a 4 inch screen and minor changes is gonna make the new iPhone look ancient in a couple of months compared to their competitors.

I love my iPhone 4s but I can tell you for sure that I'm not going to buy the new iPhone if I decide to buy a new phone in like 6 months or so.

How will the new phones make the 5 look ancient when even the 4S competes very well against the new ones?

And the iPhone is not the best phone "out there", with these small upgrades the iPhone 5 looks pretty bad compared to the Galaxy S3 who's already 3 months old and both Samsung and HTC are dropping some more bad ass cellphones soon..

No one said that everyone have large screens for browsing, 4'3 inches is not big and so is not a 4'5 inch screen. My girlfriend had a 4'5 inch phone for a while and she got small hands, it worked great, do you have smaller hands than a girl.. :facepalm

That second part is cool and all. But best phone? Don't kid yourself. It's the best fit for you, probably the average consumer who has no clue what's going on, but not for people who know what they're doing.

But then again, I don't think you even have a phone.

I guess it comes down to preference and I think Apple makes a great product and that's why I choose it.

Too many companies are releasing new phones every month and they are usually your run of the mill, cookie cutter phones.

Since owning the iPhone, I don't need any other models or brands.

Also, I can resell all my iPhones and still and pitch in just a little for a newer one. It holds it's value where all these other phones are worthless once the new model comes out.

I'm 6'7, I have really big hands and I used to own a 5'3 phone and used it easily.

I don't really care about size, I have a 4S now but the 9empire kid was making a huge deal about phones with bigger screen's than 4 inches, if girl's can use 4'5 inch phones without a problem then he'll be able to do so as well.

Yes, but you seem excited over tiny upgrades that doesn't make any difference at all. A less worthless front face camera, LTE and a 4 inch screen is not something to cheer about really..

The 4s is already crazy smooth and I can't imagine that this phone is any more smooth, my 4s NEVER lags. And those small upgrades is not enough to make me wanting to change phone, especially since those upgrads are really old to start with.

For YOU they may be tiny upgrades, for ME they're upgrades that are worth purchasing.

Was more looking for a decent reply in why anyone would think it's worth to buy it over the 4s. And I don't mean "why" as in having a desire to have the newest Apple-product, more why anyone would think that the few changes would be worth an upgrade.

Still don't understand you but it's obviously not some stranger's choice, it's yours. I hope you'll be happy with your new phone and that you share your new experiences.

Actually, the constant releases are targeted at multiple consumers. Whereas the iPhone, only one, is targeted at three demographic really. Fashion enthusiasts, people who have no clue what they are doing, and social outcasts.

Samsung for example. Releases phones like Note II, which is targeted at people like me. People who need a powerful device everywhere they go, with a stylus system. SIII is there target at the high-end phone owners, they have smaller models to fit people with small hands, they have phones with qwerty keyboards, qwerty slide phones, phones that are rugged for people who travel or do wild-like hobbies, more affordable options whilst still maintaining top level hardware in such price ranges.

Apple? Releases one phone, every year, one price range, not so versatile, for 3 pitiful demographics. You're apart of it, which makes me laugh.

09-12-2012, 06:29 PM

Most people who upgraded to iphone 4S should wait till next year when they're eligible for another upgrade before buying another device. Can't forget about 2 year upgrade cycles when judging devices or making this kind of purchase decision. This should be targeted to users who upgraded to iphone 4 2 years ago who are due for an upgrade. If you have the money to burn, knock yourself out. If your iphone 4S is working just fine for you, it's not the financially responsible thing to buy an iphone 5 at full price just to have an iphone 5. Wait a year, get an iphone 5S or 6 at the upgrade discounted price with a new 2 year carrier contract.

Only recently was it set aside only for Adobe to pursue HTML 5 and its future.

However, flash is still available, and thanks to the open-software of Android, it will be around forever, till eventually HTML takes on video support with ease on mobile interfaces, only then will Flash become obsolete. But right now, it's not.

android doesnt have "flash code" built into it.
some android phones will have flash player preloaded.

But as of august 2012, adobe is no longer supporting flash on android and they removed it from the play store.

of course you can still download the most recent flash player 11.1 apk.
Android has flash support code in it. Not only that, practically every competitive phone in the market has flash built in, and every custom rom is the same way. Sure, flash support was dropped, but it's still around. You state it as if it's a con to have it. Which I don't get. It's not an argument.

That was exactly why I was surprised that you were much more excited over the new upgrades compared to me, and the both of us currently have the same phone.

Yeah, I can tell you're not like but I still think the improvements are way too small to make me wanna go all in for the new iPhone. But of course that is only me, my needs are not equal to your needs, was more interested in why you where so excited over the new iPhone..

Somewhat agree. Asshole is the objective here initially. But someone called out my phone, and I responded to the idiot. He's gone now, and we all can breathe.

When I'm on the streets, and I'm waving my phone around, every now and then I'll get a comment about my S II X from a witty iPhone user. But, I never once have ever called out an iPhone user. Not once. I can recall several times when I'm on the bus or subway and some half-ass clown makes a remark about my phone vs his iPhone. Just the other day, I'm at the library, I pull out my phone, these two guys sitting across from me go "Ha, look at that" and pointing at my phone. I gave them a murderous look, and the conversation didn't go anywhere.

I honestly can't go a week without, especially with the recent court issues, and now the iPhone 5? I'm just getting started unfortunately. So forgive me if I come out bitter, I guess it just comes with the phone.

im actually an android supporter. I have a galaxy s3.
Im just saying android doesnt have "flash code" built in.
Flash is either installed or its not installed. Which is very easy to do, just download the flash apk and install it.

Nothing i said was wrong. I said some phones will have flash built in. Phones that will natively come with JB will not however.
The guy said most Androids don't have flash built in. However, I can't recall an major phone in the Android market that doesn't have flash support.

Flash support has been built into the Android OS since 2.2.

A couple things underwhelmed me.

This is old stuff man.

It has been proven repeatedly that the iPhone performs faster then the higher specced phones. They're just better on 'paper' that's it. The iPhone's tight integration between OS and hardware allows them to make it run much faster and efficiently than what the specs indicate. Which is why even with these over clocked phones still don't run as smooth as iPhones as a whole.

Specs don't usually tell the whole story.

People need to stop staring at spec sheets and use those as a gauge of how the phone performs. Those are a halfway decent place to start, but you could have super awesome hardware in a phone and have it be a moot point if it leaks and freezes and just generally trips all over itself.... Plain and simple, iOS does not need anywhere near the same hardware specs to keep up with perceived performance on the user level. Add to that the fact that the grubby carriers insist on saddling the Android phones with crappy bloatware, and the manufacturers add their terrible, buggy, laggy, POS UIs on top of them, and it doesn't matter if you're using the flagship processor from the year 2050, it's not going to keep up.

I hear the apple death toll from watching this is high

Basically you walk into a MS store and your phone competes with a Windows Phone in some simple tasks like posting to FB, looking for a restaurant, etc. The trick is that the Windows Phone is geared towards these tasks. (which can be accomplished via apps and widgets in iOS and Android phones)

It's like a carnival game, the game is tilted to favor the house. In this case, the games favor the windows phone because the windows phone has some "apps" (if you will) built-in and immediately accessible by default; while the same functionality could be put in an android or ios phone (if the user cared enough to do so), it isn't by default and thus when you step up to the plate, chances are you'll lose. Also, the windows phone operator does this 8 hours a day, for weeks at a time - so, in a handful of say 4 or 5 tasks, they are extremely adept at knowing where and when to press without even thinking about it. Lastly, it seems that they pick the "task" to complete depending on which type of phone you have and how old it is.

The user with the best chance at winning would be one that practically lives on their phone - e.g. an android or ios analog of the person running the windows phone.

Declaring that a windows phone "smokes" android or ios because the game is rigged to favor the windows phone is disingenuous.

And, yep to this. However, some people have beaten the system using Android widgets (I'm guessing iPhones get those in 2013 or maybe 2014).

Somewhat agree. Asshole is the objective here initially. But someone called out my phone, and I responded to the idiot. He's gone now, and we all can breathe.

When I'm on the streets, and I'm waving my phone around, every now and then I'll get a comment about my S II X from a witty iPhone user. But, I never once have ever called out an iPhone user. Not once. I can recall several times when I'm on the bus or subway and some half-ass clown makes a remark about my phone vs his iPhone. Just the other day, I'm at the library, I pull out my phone, these two guys sitting across from me go "Ha, look at that" and pointing at my phone. I gave them a murderous look, and the conversation didn't go anywhere.

I honestly can't go a week without, especially with the recent court issues, and now the iPhone 5? I'm just getting started unfortunately. So forgive me if I come out bitter, I guess it just comes with the phone.

The guy said most Androids don't have flash built in. However, I can't recall an major phone in the Android market that doesn't have flash support.

Flash support has been built into the Android OS since 2.2.

The A6 hasn't even be tested yet. So it's not about how many cores, it's about how powerful the cores are themselves.

RAM is a whole 'nother case.

We laugh at you because you have a monstrosity of a device. You are the same people that probably buy a big @ss television just to put in your room. You guys are the ones we laugh at. You look like a d-bag with your big @ss phone. You are no different than people wearing Ed Hardy.

Don't own a single Ed Hardy apparel. But let me guess, you think Beats are the best headphones on the market, don't ya?

And you get no right to laugh, especially when you're being ignorant about. I don't have a big phone just to say I have a big phone. I have a powerful phone. And eventually, when the Note II is on the market, I will have the most powerful phone around, and it'll make my life easier, and it will be easier than your phone life, regardless of the fact that it is large. Your phone sucks in comparison, but what works for you works, so be it. But don't go around saying that my phone and the market sucks, just because you need to whip your dick around.

That chart is full of mistakes. Doesn't include quad core variants of S3 and One X, and misses the black colour of the One X. But yeah, while underwhelming upgrades to the Iphone 5, the bigger screen is actually a big jump for Apple.

You're bashing my phone you silly tit.

Carry in your pocket? I have personally carried the Note I in my skinny jeans pocket, and I have had no trouble whatsoever. Shorts? No problem. Bball shorts? Nope. Pants? No. Dress pants? No.

Phones are getting bigger, for good reason. People are looking for computers they can take anywhere and everywhere. This is the smartphone era. Power is key. Not silly bragging rights and witty branding. Get over yourself.

I think people are bashing the iPhone is because it's really is the best phone ever since it's release.

"Incremental changes" is true because it's really hard to mess with perfection. The first generation iPhone was the best phone ever and you just refine perfection.

Look at all these companies that are making copy cat Apple product and design.

Iphone 4 is a fantastic phone and still destroys most phones out there so perfecting that would be hard.

Now we have the greatest version of the phone and mobile device in the Iphone 5, even if it's a small change.

LOL, you're bashing android throughout this whole thread. It's great that you like the iphone, but when you start making up complaints like the "big" size issue when nearly everyone I know that has an android loves the size of the phones, it just comes off as disingenuous. It's not just for browsing either, it's everything. I use my GPS and the extra real estate on the screen when I mount it on the car makes a huge difference.

If you don't want us in this thread then stop misrepresenting our opinions. It fits in our pockets just fine...

And the kicker is you resort to the "it's only a phone guys... it's just a phone" LOL. Steve Jobs must be rolling in his grave, because I'm sure he just wanted smartphones to be "just a phone", calling and e-mail... that's it! It's not our fault you can't figure out how to fully utilize your smartphone.

I've never had an iPhone in my life, so of course I'm going to get this one. I've used the Galaxy S3, the One X, a bunch of other shit, and the iPhone is still the smoothest, fastest, and best phone out there.

agree.

I have played with android devices and I feel they lack the smoothness of an iPhone.

Just something about the iPhone...play with them and other Android devices and people will know why Apple is such a great product. The same with tablets and iPads. The difference is in the smoothness.

See, you are the type of consumer (well, not even that since you can't buy it yourself) that gives iphone users there bad name. I picture you as that corny dude in school with the tight jeans and douche mohawk who uses an iphone.

Cell phones have gotten boring now. They are all pretty much the same now. We need a technology boom. I'd like to see a cell phone company actually allow you to use your cell phone as a real modem. Not this bs where they charge for tethering. I'd like to be able to use internet on my laptop anywhere and not have to jailbreak my phone. I also don't want to pay extra when I already have an unlimited plan.
