So it's a Iphone 4S with a bigger screen?

 

[SlowRevolution]

No pictures of the landscape keyboard?

 

[Epix]

Here we go....

 

[Sn4ke_911]

 

[Ydahs]

Ugh, as a developer I loved the standard iPhone resolution. Same ratio for all iPhones as opposed to Android's fragmentation. Now there are two ratios to take into account :|

 

[Emily Chu]

This is super cute.

All proud of a tall screen.

idk I've had could have had 100 icons on my GNex home screen a while back with apex launcher 10x10

that and 1280x720 16:9 and gotten rid of the Nav Bar : /

 

[enzo_gt]

5 rows, that's amazing right?

Wait what do you mean jailbreaks have had this forever too? Fuck

 

[def sim]

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.

those other phones will still fit in your pockets, don't be silly

.5 doesn't make it into a brick

 

[paperboywriter]

What an odd choice of resolution.

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

yes they are. apple magic.

 

[CrankyJay]

Not overly impressed so far.

 

[Nobility]

LTE.

Boom.

 

[Einbroch]

LTE? Sold. Time to upgrade.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

LTE!

 

[ari]

loving how people getting excited for day one android features. Just wow at this fanbase.

 

[snack]

Apple makes LTE sound like something that they invented. lolol

 

[methane47]

OH SNAP LTE!!

Lawsuit filed as yet?

 

[lunarworks]

black bars...lol!

Are you one of those people that stretches SD content to fit their HDTV?

 

[DMeisterJ]

LTE

All I needed to hear.

 

[noah111]

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

Not in a significant enough way to make the competition's big screens look any less appealing.

 

[Canis lupus]

100mbps??

 

[kehs]

"How did we do this?"

[flyover]

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

I was wondering about that, too. They're both good typefaces, but it's a big deal for Apple to change all their branding.

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

Yup, it always does. Great time to buy (or, as you did, short ahead of time).

 

[LCfiner]

the names of these wireless technologies are so awkward.

DC-HSDPA... really?

 

[Zozz]

Nobody is excited about a 5th row. You should stop being such a bunch of fanboys, its showing.

 

[derFeef]

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

4 more items of shit?

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

LTE!

Fuck yes, finally it's going to take over. Start filing the paperwork, Sammy!

 

[Zeth]

Why?

Are you not seeing this?

 

[freenudemacusers]

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).

I watch stuff on my iphone while riding a stationary bike all the time. works nicely.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Wario's twitter is the best way to follow this, didn't even realise it was going on until he started tweeting about it

 

[U n i o n 0015]

C'mon, 5 rows of icons? Apple doesn't stop innovating. Cue the competition coming out with 6 row phones. The innovation DON'T STOP.

/sarcasm

Dig the thinner/lighter, in all seriousness, though.

 

[Anatoli Bacharach]

THINNEST SMART PHONE EVER! at 7.6 mm

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

HMMMmmmmm

Razr has the camera bulge, i think.

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).

On a plane I did it once. Never want to do it again.

 

[Polishin8r]

Why?

its same as previous iphone that's why

 

[Fergie]

The Verge live blog is amazing on mobile. Perfect.

 

[Neuromancer]

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

They don't, actually. They're doing just fine marketing-wise.

 

[Mudkips]

Can't believe they didn't go full-on 1280x720. next iteration I guess, once apps have been updated to 1164, then they can have the option to scale or center.

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....

They will look perfect, just physically smaller.

 

[AlexMeloche]

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.

Well, not anymore!

 

[Necrovex]

Woot! Sprint, now I can make that switch.

 

[goodfella]

No one cares how you got LTE working. Damn. More features, less self congratulating.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Incoming Samsung/HTC lawsuit?

 

[dark_chris]

THINNEST SMART PHONE EVER! at 7.6 mm

/me googles "what is the thinnest smart phone

HMMMmmmmm

But its not smart like Apple's

 

[The_Inquisitor]

sRGB is important. I'm picking up a new NEX-5R and I plan to use my iPhone as a remote viewfinder/upload photos on go. Accuracy is important.

 

[paperboywriter]

Now I can watch Spiderman on the go!

wait..

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Not in a significant enough way to make the competition's big screens look any less appealing.

Well yeah, Apple is playing catch-up with some of these features.

 

[CrankyJay]

I was wondering about that, too. They're both good typefaces, but it's a big deal for Apple to change all their branding.



Yup, it always does. Great time to buy (or, as you did, short ahead of time).

Yep, will rebuy and hold to 700.

Canada: Bell, Telus, Fido, Vigin, Kudo.

Rogers?

 

[Randdalf]

I hope Apple have a patent on those 5 rows of icons

 

[Stat Flow]

You guys acting surprised/excited about LTE?

 

[Hari Seldon]

Don't like this new resolution at all. Would rather it get a tad fatter than taller. the thing is already too thin to read a lot of webpages on without constantly scrolling left and right.
