Gonna be announced early september. Available in october. Whos getting one?

I have had the same 3gs for 3 years so I'm gonna pick one up for sure. If i get another iphone on the same carrier, can i swap between my iPhone 5 and 3gs just by swapping the SIM card? I wanna use my 3gs as my party phone when i go out at night.

Anyways. This video shows that the screen will be larger and the dock connector will be different. Anyone know of anything else? I hear there was gonna be an "iPhone wallet" app.

except if you want any sort of security with your phone. that's why 90% of the top richest people in the world use Blackberries. also, for business types who need to be checking and sending emails all the time there really is no comparison. And Blackberry still has the far majority of the business market and doubtfully will lose it any time soon.

Hahah, I was serious.
Even the Bold 9900 is very nice in my opinion.
Sure it doesn't have 10324902174+ apps on it, it does what I want it to do (call quality, SMS, email, browser, and music). The keypad is also so nice to type on.

Blackberry 10 is going to be completely different. RIM basically started from scratch and made a new operating system based on QNX software (used in fighter jets, hospitals, nuclear reactors, cars etc.) and bringing it to a smartphone. It's more than just a new operating system, it's a new platform that will enable your Blackberry to easily integrate itself with other QNX based systems.
The devices themselves will be able to run many apps at the same time and the UI will have some real "flow" to it. It is expected that BB10 will have plenty of apps available at launch.

too bad its pentile, so 4S screen > what you have

also this is personal taste but fuck having a mini tablet in my pocket, I like the size of my 4S and if the next iPhone is just slightly taller with a 4" screen that would be nice too, but too much bigger than that would be annoying.

I've used both Jellybean and iOS6 before and then I realized one day; its a fucking phone. Who cares if you can put gay widgets and shit and video wallpapers on your homescreen. Bet your battery will last real long with all that unnecessary stuff. I've seen you hate on the iOS homescreen in other threads, if all your doing is launching apps, then whats wrong with it looking the same, it makes it very easy to quickly open what you need. The iPhone sells well because like Asian Allen said; people call, text, listen to music, take photos and check their social networks, beyond that who cares how much useless shit you can do with a rooted phone, I jailbreak mine to make the UI faster to navigate, not to "do anything I want". Besides overclocking (why...) which you specified, what the fuck do you do?

Again, its a phone, I feel like you take it to seriously

The new camera shits on most point and shoots. The speed from the 3GS to 4S is marginal when looking at the 4S and the 5 haha fuck but yes, the android phone has limitless possibilities with its open endedness that the iPhone doesn't, but a majority of you won't use it for that anyway. Also inb4 kids that have never had an iPhone before get it and constantly are checking, turning it on and off just opening shit to justify their realization that they finally own the phone. We've all been there. Embrace it scrubs

Camera is sapphire. Incredibly sharper than current models. Also shoots in low light, has noise reduction built in for low light, captures better images while moving - less blur, and now video.. Also sapphire and can now zoom when recording. At that resolution too on retina, with certain camera adapters for the lens by other manufacturers, basically a t1i with small choice of lens.

^ still better and different. Not same. Also, not an apple name by choice but by fact. It's saloon ire crystal which is not what the 4s has therefore being able to do all it can now in addition to the processor speeds, it is differently better.

Oh alright I get what you're saying.

I think we can both agree this camera is probably just catching up some to the higher end anroid phones though.

Apple is referring to sapphire crystal, which has been used for watches for the past decades because it's incredibly sharp and scratch resistant.

It has nothing to do with Apple apart from the fact that they used it as the cover glass for the camera.

Until benchmarks are to be seen with this new A6 processor in conjunction with iOS6, all I see is a 4S that went through a slight growth spurt and finally got on board with LTE.

Just looked at some of the specs. Damn. I'm a die hard android guy, but if i were to break mine today....
itd be a hard decision on whether to switch to the iphone5.

one thing though,
28 megapixel camera? Totally unessisary. My DLSR has 16. With the shitty camera phone lens 28 megapixels is overkill. it will just take up more space on the SD card. Finally on a 4G LTE network about time.

no.  it's an 8mp camera with a panorama mode that gives it an effective 28mp or some bullshit.

ha dude, all aside, apple FINALLY made and lte phone but they did it a year late. i just think its funny they it took them so long, they couldve done it in the 4s but since they dont really have to (because of people like you) they can release NORMAL, not extra special features a year after the competition and every dip shit (again, like you) deepthroats apple.

so i have a question for you guys. i have the 4s, but i want the 5. my contract isnt up for a while. att's fee for early upgrade is 250 and another 2 years. i know i can sell my 4s and then get the 5, and sorta break even, but im grandfathered into att's unlimited data. if i did this would i lose the unlimited? and how much are 4s's going for anyways?
