iPhone 5

[Kent Shrimper]

So the rumour is a 12th September release date due to invites being sent out to Journos.

What are you hoping for from the new phone?

Speed, battery and bigger screen are my wish which looking at some of the supposed leak pictures should come true for the screen at least

I'm also eager to see if the mini iPad materialises

 

[Pubey]

Speed and battery are the main things for me. Not bothered about bigger or better screens really.

 

[TrueBlue]

Knowing apple it will be the Iphone 4ST! lol

 

[Smiffy]

A longer ****ing charger cable would be nice. And yes, the battery life needs to be improved.

 

[Jam_Man]

Bigger screen is the only thing that would interest me.

Still using iphone 3GS and screen far too small now.

Battery life is fine on it, wipes the floor with my Blackberry Bold.

Or maybe your eye-sight has worsened!:smile:

That it certainly has:smile:

After using an iPad I cant stand using my iPhone any more. Just too small for browsing etc.

From what I can gather from the technology sites, it looks like it will have a see through chassis which would be interesting....

You can buy longer ones on ebay for about a pound, lol

I have heard rumours that they are going to have a smaller port charging point, which is annoying in a way, as if you have any docking stations or the like, they obviously wont connect!

I like the idea of the new connectless charging on the Nokia Lumia, and hope they would adopt that, as i certainly wouldn't touch Nokia with a barge poll these days, but the idea itself is a good concept!

smaller docking point also means more stress on the connector (IMO), especially for people who use it for sat-navs and stuff. However the headphone port will move to the bottom which IMO makes sense.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Don't have any problems with speed or screen size with mine but the battery life is poor and needs to be much improved.

I don't over use my phone but I'm lucky if I make it home for 6pm with more than 20-25% left.

Why ?

When you have your phone in your pocket and want to listen to music youd have to put it in upside down surely ?

 

[Pubey]

But you pull it out upside down and it's in your hand the right way up

 

[Davros]

which makes more sense, as then the 'home' button would then be at the top of your pocket, making it more instantly controlable, rather than having to get it all the way out

 

[TrueBlue]

your all just being ****ing fussy now lol

£529 unlocked. Its longer and thinner, bigger screen faster processor. Iphone 4 is now only 319 which makes the second hand value around 160.
Not sure i'll bother, cant see that many benefits.
Oh and it uses a different connector and smaller sim.

Interesting view point on the Launch can be found

On the BBC Magazine

 

[MK Shrimper]

The cult of Apple. :nope:

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Making it bigger seems like a step backwards to me.

 

[Jam_Man]

Screen still too small for me to want to get rid of my iphone 3gs which is on its last legs.

Ill probably look at the Samsung if I ever get around to replacing it.
