Who cares...the iPhone 5 is coming!

 

[Alumni2k11]

Wait a month and get the iPhone 5.

The iPhone 4 is still the best selling phone, considered by most to still be the best phone on the market and it's over a year old. The iPhone 5 will be significantly better than anything else out there.

Yea I just found out about the iPhone5 yesterday. Not even joking. Shows how much I've kept up with tech news. I saw the current iPhone4's are 200 with a new contract. Wonder how much the 5's will be with a new deal. I actually was given a blackberry 9600 last month as a hand me down. I think people felt bad for me and my blackberry 8300...

They'll probably be the same price with a new contract.

This isn't real, by the way.

I know I just picked the first pic I saw.

lol, that would be hideous. Apple knows better than that.

To me, the iPhone 4 was the perfect industrial design. Other than making it thinner and lighter, I don't see how it could be physically improved. I REALLY hope the back isn't beveled like that.

Nice, I just may get one of those then.

I too love the iPhone 4 design. It's the pinnacle of cell phone design to me. But unfortunately, I think they're going back to something more akin to the above. Based on leaked cases, here's probably the most accurate rendering to date. This has a bigger screen and some sort of new home button. The big improvement over the above image, though, is that the back is generally flat.

Seems likely, that's the same back the iPad 2 has, so I could see that.

Case wise, I like the bumper as a case since it leaves the majority of the device open though. If they go back to those beveled corners, then we're gonna have to go back to those ugly, full body cases that hide everything but the screen.

 

[theogt]

I don't use cases, so no biggie for me.

Samsung S2

Samsung S2 - on Verizon it will be called the Samsung Stratosphere.

There is info on the web about the Samsung Celox. Its supposed to dwarf all that is out there.
Whether is releases in US at all is unknown?

Who cares...the iPhone 5 is coming!

Which iPhone is coming out?

a.) The iPhone 5 that is the same as the iphone 4 with minor differences?

b.) The iPhone 5 that is A5 processor and some new tech?

c.) The iPhone 5 that will not launch in Sept because they want to get an A6 type technology into that phone (probably dub it A5.5 or something?



By todays standards:

option a) put apple way behind.

option b) barely puts apple in position to have a phone on par, tech-wise, with lets say a Droid X that is over a year old.

option c) IF this happens, then Apple might catch up with ALL that are ahead of them

How is it so far behind the Droid X?

People need to get over their ridiculous biases. It's a phone, not a political party. If you like a phone, use it. Just don't be surprised if someone prefers something else.

A,B or C will still be better.

Exactly.

This isn't pot and kettle...I just happen to like the iPhone...I don't care what anyone else uses.

As a matter of fact I didn't say anything to anyone except to say who cares the iPhone 5 is coming out until I got the A,B, or C response...which I then responded to by saying what I've said all along...I think the iPhone is better.

And I certainly don't get upset about it...if someone wants to use an Android...which is basically what he's saying.

And you're wrong I've played with a few Androids...friends at work and my wifes friend.

Nothing wrong with them I just like the iPhone better...simple as that.

It's been over a year since an iPhone came out. Why would it only be a minor upgrade?

The only reason I can think of that they would opt to have just a minor upgrade is because they're stilling selling so damn many of them that they don't have to try and beat competition -- i.e., there isn't much of it.

Oh, and there's no comparison between a Droid X and an iPhone 4. They don't even make those phones anymore. That's how great they are.

Just had this phone in my hot little hands. A buddy of mine just stopped by to show me. One of the local cell companies here just fired up their 4G network over the weekend and were giving these phones away for 99.00 w/ 2 yr contract. The cool thing is this new promotion they have. They are giving the phone away for free if you are the 1st 10 users / day to sign up.

The phone is GORGEOUS and I was blown AWAY by how light and skinny it was. It's literally half the weight of my current ATT Inspire 4G phone and half as skinny.

Floored. I was not expecting this phone from Samsung right now.

I just might have to go check this out.

I've got an LG Optimus V and youtube works fine on it.

I do have issues sometimes with other things, but youtube and facebook work fine.
