Just boot up VLC, go to /g/, and wait for the gorillion of mirrors that always crop up.
Performance benchmarks are pointless.
I just a phone that will let me surf the web in peace. To switch between apps easily. None of this refreshing crap. It's so frustrating and I've lost work because of it.

Yeah that was another thing I should've mentioned, I hate being locked out of OS upgrades and the fact that my iPad would be running iOS 8 while my 4 would have iOS 7 would be irritating. Thanks!

I'm assuming ill be able to watch this on a first gen ipad mini no problem right?
Thanks

It's my understanding that the first batch of numbers denote the capacity, up to H9CKNNNBKTM. The rest may be things like low power, etc.
At this point, even a 5s will seem like a massive upgrade for you. I'm trying to remember the specs of the 4 but I don't think it even had 4G/LTE capability. Also, iOS7 was limited visually on the 4. I would definitely upgrade to the 6 if I were you.
Nope only 4s had 4g

so what do we think's in the big white building? I'm going with a fitness/home kit/nfc demo area for the wearable.

Wrong, LTE came with the iPhone 5.

I am super excited for this event, but I really need the 6 to be a huge step up. Some of the rumors sound promising, others (RAM) not so much.

Nope, the iPhone 5 and later models have LTE/4G.
Stage for U2.

It IS going to be a huge step up for the people that matter: 5 owners and older.
This is not for the 5S owner:
Which is why I said I understand concerns about RAM, depending on your usage. 1080p wars and 'underpowered' are a different story, and I completely disagree that the performance of the device is 'pointless'.
Yeah, that's where I spend most of my browsing time so I agree.
That would be so sad.
You won't even need a mirror, just wait for the direct link to the stream and VLC will play it fine.
I imagine once it starts every other post in this thread will be instructions for getting it running in VLC or requests for instructions.
I'm pretty sure the iPhone 5 performs well in Web browsing and normal use. Nothing is going to feel significant in performance until they up the ram for multitasking UNLESS you're a big on graphically intense gaming.
You guys are all right. 4S did NOT have LTE but did have HSPA+ which AT&T and T-Mobile was advertising as 4G. Fake 4G but nevertheless 4G.
The person I was responding to had a 4 though so regardless he had 3G only.
if the screen is bigger and not full HD, that makes the PPI of the screen isn't much different than the 5s.
I am not a big fan of big phones at all. depending on the size of the thing and the screen quality, I might skip the phone and keep the 5s.
I am really hoping for at least a full hd screen. its not possible a 5.5 inch and still not full hd. specially when Apple always brag about their display whatever its on I pad or MacBook laptops.
I believe these reports of less than full hd are just bad rumors

Still only a rumour or possibly on one model. Still holding out hope for 2GB.

As long as it's all at the end i don't mind, i can just turn the stream off then.
It would be the saddest thing ever.

The GM (final release) will be available to devs today. You won't need a dev account to install it, so if you can find a copy you can update.

I'm rocking 1GB Ram currently on a 5S. Phone is smooth as butter!!
so in the past the new iOS doesn't drop until the day the new phones release? But that should be within a week I guess?

Heavily optimizing their hardware for their software better than anyone else, so you don't have to worry about whats inside your phone?

Most interested in Apple's user experience adjustments to accommodate these bigger phones, if any.
Apple very intentionally picked the screen sizes they did so they could be used with one hand, and now these sizes are very much outside of that capacity. I don't expect them to come out and say "you just kind of grip it hard with one hand and slide your palm up the edge to get to the top!".
I'd be a bit let down if they just pump up the sizes and do nothing to help the user use the actual device.

Yes, all iDevices on iOS 6 or higher can stream through Safari by going to the Apple website.
Mmmm-Hmmm!!

AT&T have 4S's with 4G. LTE came with iPhone 5.

Be prepared for a lot of montages about how successful their products are -_-
Coming from a 4S on AT&T, am I going to see a giant speed increase when I get an iPhone 6 on mobile data networks? From a quick Google it looks pretty significant.
Lol maybe but don't expect much. LTE is now overcrowded in some areas and you can get better speeds dropping down to HSPA+.

Glad to know I am not the only one still carrying around a 4.
