[Ydahs]

So they ditched their old aspect ratio? Hope developers will not need to create two versions for different ratios...

 

[Zeppu]

Is this legit?

[noah111]

Why are they comparing it to the iPhone 3G? Hah.

 

[Zeth]

Please let us order today

 

[scorcho]

so is Avenir replacing Myriad, or is it just for this presentation?

I've used that font in a ton of projects over the years. Love it. Worth noting that it's a Linotype font and not Adobe.

 

[sinxtanx]

That is certainly an iPhone

 

[pulga]

Yawn.

 

[kingocfs]

lol @ people being excited for 5 rows if icons

Seriously.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

RELEASE DATE !!!!!!!

 

[Technosteve]

THAT APPLE FRAGMENTATION IPHONE THE LONGER

 

[Pepto]

This seals it. My next phone won't be an iphone.

 

[Reagan's BR]

I like phones designed to be used by hands. None of that massive screen bullshit for me.

Yeah, I hate those massive phones. This phone is as big as I want it for now. My phone needs to be able to fit in my pocket.

 

[Red_taiyaki]

Hmmm, so they're going to be letterboxing apps. I suppose that's better than stretching them out. I'm curious how old non-hd apps are going to look on this thing though....

 

[Robot Pants]

whatever, how much and when? I can't wait to get rid of my galaxy s

 

[kehs]

This is super cute.

All proud of a tall screen.

 

[Magnus]

Elongated display, vertically? Gross. I say this as a diehard iphone fanboy. Bigger is not better, thanks.

 

[KingKong]

my body is ready for the iPad Mini, dont let me down

 

[Blablurn]

man, where is the magic?

 

[JetBlackPanda]

getting the galaxy s3 tomorrow. decision made

thanks for shitting up our thread.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

lol @ people being excited for 5 rows if icons

lol

 

[Tomcat]

lumia 920 best display confirmed @ 336 ppi / 1280x768

lumia 920 wins lol

 

[Pie and Beans]

WAY MORE ROOM you guys.

Doesnt this sell competitor's larger screens more than it does an iPhone? Apple were fools to just go taller. Black borders for all!

 

[dantevsninjas]

So, what is so impressive here that people are going nuts for? It looks pretty much the same, only thinner, with a slightly bigger screen.

 

[GCX]

I am enjoying the marketing very much, and not in a cynical way. It's always fun to see how they hype up each iteration.

I'm sure they could make a presentation like this about anything and make it sound amazing

 

[noah111]

"So, apps can be bigger*. Just so we're clear here."

*only 176 pixels vertically.

 

[Stat Flow]

Hmm.

 

[Hero]

What an odd choice of resolution.

And are people seriously that hyped for an extra row of apps? Jeez.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

lol @ people being excited for 5 rows if icons

A 4" screen is a big upgrade over what they've got right now.

 

[Kajiba]

Phone looks pretty cool. Thought it being little longer would make it look weird but it actually looks like it will work.

 

[outunderthestars]

lumia 920 best display confirmed @ 336 ppi / 1280x768

Awesome. I'm sure the non-existent apps for Windows Phone will totally be able to take advantage of that.

 

[Izick]

Nothing too interesting so far. It looks like any other smartphone.

 

[criesofthepast]

My dong is 30% erected. Once it reaches 80% erect then I'm selling my 4S and buying the 5. Come on apple!

 

[Station42]

black bars...lol!

 

[Cipherr]

yes, wich has a higher ppi though?

The HTC Rezound and the Lumia 920. ;0

Elongated display, vertically? Gross. I say this as a diehard iphone fanboy. Bigger is not better, thanks.

Get with the times man, 16:9.

 

[lunarworks]

16:9 domination is finally complete

I still think 16:9 is an awkward format for something so small, but that's the trend and they're getting in line. :/

 

[Raine]

Only 4 inches? Blah. Not as hyped anymore

 

[Baconsammy]

When one of your big marketing points is you got 5 rows of icons now instead of 4, you need bigger and better ideas.

 

[planar1280]

44% better color saturation, full sRGB rendering here.

 

[bob page]

Sexy.

 

[methane47]

THINNEST SMART PHONE EVER! at 7.6 mm

/me googles "what is the thinnest smart phone
Droid Razr at 7.1mm

HMMMmmmmm

 

[Canis lupus]

44% better color saturation

 

[freenudemacusers]

Yeah, I hate those massive phones. This phone is as big as I want it for now. My phone needs to be able to fit in my pocket.

Yeah, I'm hoping the thinness will mitigate the height somewhat, cuz otherwise my pockets will not be happy.

 

[Ambitious]

Black borders, black borders everywhere.

 

[Reagan's BR]

This seals it. My next phone won't be an iphone.

Why?

 

[Zeppu]

This is super cute.

All proud of a tall screen.

Did you know you can put more shit in a taller screen?

 

[twobear]

Widescreen for movies, even though watching movies on a 4" screen has got to be one of the most inane things you can possibly do.

(No offense to anybody who watches movies on their iPhone).

 

[giga]

100% sRGB coverage, not bad. IPS?

 

[SJRB]

"ultrafast wireless", haha wow.

 

[Trojita]

I'll wait for the iPhone 5S.

Also I'm pretty sure Apple said the Macbook Pro Retina was the greatest product they ever designed.

 

[Syracuse022]

Stock going down as predicted. Glad I shorted. Will sell at end of presentation.

I've wanted to do this for every recent announcement but I never have the balls - ("What if this is the one time it doesn't happen?")
