Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
wow this looks so boring, honestly iPhone 4 was such an elegant and design was so premium. After that they all looked like shit.
Nokia and HTC are seriously kicking their ass in terms of design and hardware innovation.
Just look at latest Nokia Lumia 930 and 830. So awesome.
Show me the black phone. White iPhones always look worse
Are they doing Gold again for launch or B/W only?
Gold was such a big seller I would be surprised if they didn't.
I'm going black again. Seemed like it was way easier to get at launch then the white models.
It'll be flush with a case i guess.

If previous Apple sales cycles have shown, 5c will be downgraded to 8GB and sold for free, 5s will move down to $100, and the 6 will be $199.
This comes as a surprise to me as one of the reasons Apple created the 5c was because they couldn't have two models with aluminum backs (5 and 5s) on the market at the same time (too expensive), so they made the plastic-back 5c to save money. I wouldn't be shocked if Apple discontinues the 5s and in it's place creates the iPhone 5cs, a 5c with the fingerprint sensor, A7 processor, and dual LED flash, at the $99 price point.
Then again if they were, where are the leaks?
Still not sure if i'll grab this or get myself a 5S gold once the pricess go down
We'll see

Those in the know are claiming this is a clone. Take it for what it's worth.

It's easy to hide something when no one is looking for it. I don't remember there being leaks or rumors of the iPad 4th Gen coming out, all attention was on the iPad Mini. Not saying there will be a new entry in the "C" version of the iPhone, but that the media is too focused on the iPhone and iWatch that they could overlook it.
Not to me. Looks fine.

Get outta here. They wouldn't kill the black iPhone off. It's the iPhoniest one.
I don't have to imagine with my G3...
Even if it is the actual device isn't going to look all that different.

I think this is the thread as it is posted a week before, just like OT for games.

Wish they still did black on silver. I think my phone looks decent in that combo.
I agree.
The antenna lines and protruding camera show me a company that believe their own shit smells better.
Also I don't agree that mobile phones will replace credit cards. I will always need my CC no matter what happens because not every shop is going ip use this new system and surely that's the point, that until everywhere has this in place then why bother.
but the bottom is bugging me to madness, i adored the look of the 5S
If i'll like the new one anyway, i'm going with the smaller one, i expected to like bigger phones, but my Xperia Z purchase changed it, really can't hold it right for a one hand use (might be different with this one though)

This colour combo never existed. That's a mod.
edit: oh, I'm assuming you mean from the original iPhone?
Thanks. Guess I'm set for the event. Classes will be over by then and I'll be home with plenty of time to spare.
See ya at yet another event infiniteloop!

No, not bad luck. Unfortunately, that's one of the compatibility issues that surface when horrible "skins" like Sammy's TouchWiz are placed on top of Android. And they really are completely different OSs in practise.
So you update all of your apps and the device progressively becomes slower and clunkier. Pretty normal, especially for a GS3.
iPhones managed to get durability better, but iPhone 4s today are laggy and slow in general (or at least mine is) and even 4Ss are not as smooth as 5s and 5Ss - not by any means unusable though.
Anyways, we've now come to a point where components are plenty powerful enough, so that even a late 2013 phone will probably be holding up well in 2015, especially a device like the (stock) Nexus 5.
As of now, I'd say that the yesterday-revealed Moto X is the one with the right to claim Android's throne both for hardware and software (although it still has to be proved), while the Nexus 6 (coming this Halloween, approximately) will 99% be a safer bet, despite probably being a little more of a tool rather than a 'personal' and sexy-looking design object like the X.
Bear in mind that these are just assumptions I am making though, for I have been into the tech "business" for a while now; but that also tells me that I could be completely wrong, especially given the fact that Motorola themselves seem to be in charge of the next Nexus.
If you really, really had to buy a phone this moment, I would like to recommend the OnePlus One (which is the phone I am currently using), but to get one isn't exactly the easiest thing unfortunately, so it would come down to either the semi-jump-in-the-dark Moto X or a GPE HTC One for me. But again, that depends on the user's demands.
Holding on a couple more months is still the best possible thing to do in my opinion, since a lot is about to change in the Android space thanks to L and Material Design. And by the holiday it'll be a triple-threat between the new Nexus (or Nexii, possibly), the Moto X and the OnePlus One, which should be publicly available for purchase by October.
Never going to recommend a 'skinned' Android again.

Yeah, the design on the 5/5s top/bottom is way better than this super slim, super curved look.
....oh well. It's just an oh well / whatever situation until next Wednesday.
"Diamond destroyed chamfered edges"
Fuck it. Here it goes lol. OG iPhone was given to me by friend for collective purposes. Don't flame me on the condition please GAF.
After two years without a case, what would you expect?
Wait until the conference.
Personally I say iphone but then I'm probably biased. Android has improved a lot but there are too many small issues.
To give? You're not going to drop the phone and have a dent in it if that's what you mean.
I'm thinking more of bending than dropping.
Yeah, you're going to bend metal and glass.
I highly doubt it.
I thought I would really enjoy the customization of android and have 5 ROMs on constant rotation and whatever people do with it's openness but I haven't taken advantage of any of that (I honestly enjoy jailbreaking more for some reason). Android just feels really boring and bland compared to iOS for me and I appreciate the construction of apple products. I also have a Mac (heh) and the iOS8 + mac integration looks good so i'm planning on jumping back.

You're shitting on the Android user's axiom that you "upgrade" from iOS to Android and never look back.
