iPhone 5

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

Apple has announced the iPhone 5.

Features are

• 4 inch screen
• 8mp camera
• Smaller connector
• LTE
• Thinner and Lighter then previous models.

I'm not too impressed. I was more impressed by the iPhone 4S. The only thing that stands out is the iPhone5 is thinner and lighter, which will be great for people who like thin and light phones.

Imo, the new iPhone doesn't stack up (tech wise) against the Samsung and Nokia offerings.


iPhone 5 will go on sale at the end of this month

Apple has done it again!! It has introduced another revolutionary  product that will be industry-leading the day it comes out. I am very  happy with all the upgrades and improvements of the iPhone 5 over the  4S.
 
* The iPhone 5 includes a revolutionary A6 processor. Dual-core. Simply  incredible. Now you'll be able to open up and navigate to Settings to  disable 4G/Data even faster than ever. The Samsung Galaxy S3 has  dual-core, a direct blatant copy of Apple. Get a life, Samsung!
 
* iPhone 5 has free voice navigation. Android has had this for quite  some time, a blatant copy of iPhone 5's features. Android is such a bad  copy of Apple.
 
* The iPhone 5 has 4G LTE connectivity. Simply ingenious!! All Android  phones now have 4G LTE, a blatant copy of Apple. Android and Google need  to stop copying Apple and develop their own ideas.
 
* The iPhone 5 has the revolutionary Panorama camera feature. The  Samsung Galaxy S3 also does this, a blatant copy of Apple. This will  make taking pictures a snap. The ability to save near-infinite photos on  16GB (no microsd slot) will be amazing. Thank you, Apple!
 
* The iPhone 5 comes with a revolutionary new connector - Lightning!  It's another sure-fire way for Apple and product-manufacturers to get  more money from selling new products that support Lightning. Lightning  is the name of the main character of Final Fantasy XIII, a blatant copy  of iPhone 5's connector. Square Enix, get a life! Apple should also sue  God for patent-infringement - Apple created Lightning.
 
* The iPhone 5 has a revolutionary 4" screen, but the phone is still the  same width as the 4S. Simply breathtaking to look at. The LG G2X also  has a 4" screen, a blatant copy of Apple. Get a life, LG. Stop copying  Apple!!
 
* The iPhone 5 has 640x1136 resolution, slightly less than Samsung's  Galaxy S3 1280x720, but Apple is still better because, let's face it -  they're Apple.
 
These reasons and more, my friends, are the reasons why Apple is #1 and  is the reason why the iPhone 5 will sell in record quantities. Long live  Apple!! In the name of Steve Jobs, Amen!          

Lots of hype, no real substance imo - would appear to be a step or 2 behind where the market is at. Can see them selling like hotcakes to the faithful followers, reality is there are better offerings out there. And the price in NZ, talk about cooked....

I'm going to build a house out of them, and everything inside will be made from them.

It will be my iPhone 5 house.

Nothing too special features wise, but does look to be of exceptional build quality http://www.apple.com/iphone/design/

This is one thing I hate about other phones, that cheap plastic feel.

I'll probably buy one.

Foxconn knows how to build nets phones

So is it USB3 or USB2 ?

USB2.0 -> http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD818/lightning-to-usb-cable

"This USB 2.0 cable connects your iPhone or iPod with Lightning  connector to your computer's USB port for syncing and charging or to the  Apple USB Power Adapter for convenient charging from a wall outlet.

The point would be that your cool friends who do with look at your old phone, point & laugh... it's a fashion accessory, and you are stuck in 2005.

I have no cool iPhone owning friends, and that makes me sad.

That's a bit ignorant, not all phones are plastic, I felt the S1 and S2 were pure plastic but all my htc phones have had a solid feel with brushed aluminum with my current sensation having an interestingly lovely rubberised coating that IMO is fantastic for preventing the phone slipping out of my hand. I've yet to dent my sensation.

I'll be over in the states for the next 2 week. If anyone wants one send me the cash and i'll buy it while i'm over there.




Then i'll throw it into the ocean on the way home.

Mine's quite functional as the app I developed for it controls most of my house (with siri integration so you can tell things to turn on/off or open/shut if you are too lazy to press a button).. so that still makes my 4S cooler than theirs

I'm sorry Craig, I don't understand make me a sandwich

It's not like they want to lock you into their devices or anything, it's just that they want you locked into their devices.
