Ah yes. That's probably why Safari at least used to not be able to cache even three open tabs. Probably constant reloading is a good thing too

Why are there two threads here about this event?
1. Sit down you fool.
2. Sif show off the new phone and not show Passbook and anything else new.
The other one was a pre-event thread that keeps getting bumped.
The clock icon isn't animated. Neither are the on/off switches.
My Z1 Compact has 2GB of RAM, and even with only two tabs open it will refresh when switching between them. I think it has more to do with software optimisation to solve the issue.
Usually ten days later on 9/19.

Yeah, that looks pretty real. They are manufacturing millions of these things as we speak, that one or more might get into the hands of a motivated 3rd party in China who doesn't care about breaking anonymity is not an unreasonable possibility.
Looks good, but I have to say, if the 5.5 is delayed too long, I might consider using one of the upgrades I have access to on an LG G3, instead of a 4.7. That would be a first for me since the 3G.
That was what you reacted to? I reacted to the hilarious font on the calendar icon xD
These jokers, man.
I wish they made MacBooks in space gray

10 days?! Damn, that's fast. I was expecting to have to wait for at least 2 weeks. I'm even more excited now! School is gonna blaze by tomorrow and Tuesday!

That video looks as real as it gets. I don't get however why the bezels on that phone look bigger than what Russians assembled and showed, especially the space above and under the home button.
Space gray (really Gunmetal, but apple doesn't want the word Gun in its color name) should have never been used. They struck gold with that full black color design of iPhone 5, and they ditched it the next update, and for what? Something that looks faded and ruins the practically perfect monolithic black look.
If that's real, white/silver looks good, very clean. Prob going to be the one I go with.

I disagree, still hate the gold trimmings though.. definitely not going for the white one.

I really like the look of the new one, but I think it would have been way nicer if they had a glass back with curved edges to match the front.

Phone looks pretty meh, but I'm more interested in other features.
Because the painted chamfered edges scuffed easier, sometimes even straight out of the box.
Space Gray looks amazing still, but the full black design was art.

My guess is that Apple has added homebutton gestures (a swipe in 4 directions), making app navigation easier with 1 hand. This would require a slightly larger bottom bezel to give more room for a swipe gesture.
I have a slate iPhone 5 and I regret getting it. The finish they have on it ages terribly. I'm sure the space grey iPhone shows wear a lot better since it's a color that's not painted on. Apple did the right thing going with that color and retiring slate.

I remember the outcry on the iPhone 5 launch where a lot of factory new iPhones had scratches on them.
I'd never buy an iPhone that has something painted on.
Stockholm syndrome
iPhone 6 will be just another iPhone except this time around it has a bigger screen, again.
Not sure why Apple needs to make a big scene every year out of small upgrades. I remember being heavily disappointed by the iPhone 5 screen increase. Apple: CALL THE PRESSES. WE HAVE ADDED ONE MORE ROW TO OUR PHONE SCREEN! REVOLUTIONARY.

Back down to 3.5". Turns out it was the perfect size.
All leaks have pointed to 3.5 so far.
And yet.....there you were...and here you are....
Marketing.
Extra row of icons argument is tired, especially this year, and especially on an Internet forum where people have been bitching about the screen size for years. The new APIs, extensions, handover features in ios8, plus the hardware features that we don't know about make this a really exciting year.
That is a feature they are working on as people have dug up code that shows work in progress split screen support but I think it was apparently only for the big iPad. I'm guessing the iPad will get it in ios9, I feel they will definitely have to introduce it as a selling point for the rumoured larger iPad "pro"
Having touch id functionality expand further is a very cool addition. One password plus touch ID will be great.
Can't they at least have a split screen for YouTube and twitch when surfing on safari? I never use my computer for surfing on the internet since I got my ipad
Not sure I understand this really. Sticking a bigger battery in there presuming you could keep it in the same thickness range would, ceteris paribus, be better. "More," so to speak, would necessarily be better. Or is this just "in general"?

I thought the color was anodized, not painted.I have had black iphone 5 for almost a year before having to replace it for a defective home button. It looked as good the day I sent it for a replacement as the day I got it. The new one I also have for about the year and it's the same thing. I have no idea what you have to do to destroy that chamfered edge so much as some people say they did. I don't even have any case for the phone. Just keep it on its own in te pants pocket, which I think most people would do regardless of the phone's finish.
Yep. Here I am, fondling my sexy Space Gray 5S.
Look out guys, we got a badass over here

Truth.
Slate black was the best color. A shame that scuffgate ruined the use of the dark look and they were forced to switch to space grey. Definitely a failure for Apple.

Bigger anything, in Apple's context of a device's internals, is not better though. They'd rather find a way to make the whole device more energy efficient using the same or similar battery than increase the size of anything.
That would actually look nice.
