Diamond-encrusted shell, gold-fused plating, jade-primed lining...

 

[amrihua]

The battery life on LTE is amazing! Do want!

 

[lunarworks]

"Why did we make it this size?"

....

"It's because of your hand. It should fit there. That's how we designed the iPhone 5."


come on Apple, no one is that stupid.

Some of us aren't in the market for a bro-phone. I like having a phone that my thumb can each every corner of.

 

[giga]

Dynamic low light…

Someone is pureview jelly.

10:28AM - The guy seated next to me here in the audience is clearly an Apple employee. He claps REALLY loud in the press box, and he’s saying “That’s awesome.” to himself every few seconds.

 

[flyover]

Battery Life.

MOST important thing for me! All these new stuff is nice but I want to enjoy it more then a couple of hours before I have to charge it again.

Same here. That's the biggest niche for smartphone improvement, even if it's not exciting to talk about. This looks promising.

 

[SlowRevolution]

Still waiting on that haptic touch announcement, Phil.

 

[Vanille]

lol same old shitty camera

 

[Dynoro]

The graphics are neat but am I the only one feeling a little underwhelmed so far?

I'm not a Apple hater, new iPad, iPhone 4 and a 2011 iMac back that up. But I think they really need something awesome.

Me too - but it is early in the event. I just really dislike the screen getting longer; the 4S is perfect for me.

 

[LiK]

Camera specs sounds exactly like iphone 4s, sigh

that's a bummer

 

[Kibbles]

Sapphire Crystal? lol. What does that even mean?

Exactly what I was thinking lol.

 

[SnakeXs]

Only 8MP. A bit of a dissapointment. I thought Apple would match Sony with a 12 or a 13.

Megapixels don't fucking matter. Nobody is printing camera phone images. Quality and high ISO/low light performance are way more important than pixels.

 

[KingKong]

I'm whelmed. I like Apple products but there is nothing particularly innovative that they have showed so far. It seems like the expected bump to keep up with the competition.

I mean there's nothing they can really do that will top the retina display intro any time soon outside of a complete redesign

 

[planar1280]

 

[kehs]

These guys learned nothing from jobs.

It's bulletpoint city up in here.

 

[GCX]

This is surprisingly underwhelming so far.

 

[VoxPop]

8 hours of 3G or LTE talk time or browsing. 10 hours on WiFi browsing.

Sounds great.

Yup the thing I miss most about the iPhone. My Galaxy Nexus basically turns off after like a hour of browsing lmao.

 

[jet1911]

It'll be a nice upgrade from my old 3GS.

 

[snack]

8 hour LTE browsing on iPhone 5.

If I recall, S3 only has 5?

 

[Hot Coldman]

lol

MEGAPIXELS

 

[smokeandmirrors]

MEGAPIXELS DON'T MATTER WITH A SMALL LENS LIKE THAT.

 

[D4Danger]

way to gloss over the camera

Nokia must be happy Apple didn't do anything significant this time round

 

[LM4sure]

Only 8MP. A bit of a dissapointment. I thought Apple would match Sony with a 12 or a 13.

Don't you realize by now that MP is only one factor of what makes a camera good? 8MP can still look a lot better than 12MP.

 

[criesofthepast]

I'm never believing apples battery life claims ever again. Will wait for real world tests before jumping for joy.

 

[Enco]

So is the cam the same as the 4S?

 

[noah111]

40% faster photo capture. I'll take it.

So is the cam the same as the 4S?

No.

 

[BuggyDClown]

YES faster photo capture.

 

[Parham]

I don't know a whole lot about wireless standards, but there's an excellent carrier in my area that uses the "AWS" band and doesn't support iPhones because iPhones don't support "AWS". Does the stuff they just announced fix that?

Unless I am mistaken, nothing that they have shown so far would imply that the iPhone 5 has AWS support. T-Mobile's absence from the USA carrier list is telling, as they are the only major wireless telecom company in the country that uses AWS. I hope that answers your question.

 

[Epix]

Holy Fuck.

"This is 40% faster on photo capture."

 

[Blablurn]

dooouche chiiill

 

[Gav47]

Sapphire Crystal? lol. What does that even mean?

You can align your chakras with your phone.

 

[Technosteve]

:lol

 

[Wind's Howling]

Still going to wait for user reviews before getting it. I dived in head-first with the iPhone 4 and the next thing I knew that damn antenna-gate issue popped up.

 

[Kyoufu]

This is surprisingly underwhelming so far.

Yeah this is a dud for me, but I already have a top of the line phone.

This is good for people with a 3GS or whatever.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Didn't know about it. What happen to the Orange and T-moblie brand? Will it going to change or only for LTE network.

It was a bit vaguely worded the press-release but I think EE will be a 4G only brand to start with. With iPhone 5 tied heavily into the promotion.

Orange/T-Mobile will probably be phased out as they move to a complete 4G network which they said would cover 98% by 2014. It begins roll out in 16 cities in a few weeks.

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

Sapphire Crystal? lol. What does that even mean?

It means magic in your hands.

 

[TTOOLL]

Sapphire Crystal? lol. What does that even mean?

lol

 

[Husker86]

8 hour LTE browsing on iPhone 5.

If I recall, S3 only has 5?

I'd wait for Anandtech tests.

 

[SlowRevolution]

"Here's pictures from the iPhone 5. These are from the camera... untouched."

hey nas called he said to stop being so cold

 

[sfedai0]

The battery life is a huge selling point for me.

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

Dat bokeh.

 

[Pein]

I want it.

 

[Zeth]

Here's how you do a real camera demo; no van or dslr!

 

[Nevasleep]

"Nobody in a van took these photographs"

 

[Slurpy2k20]

lol same old shitty camera

4S camera is shitty, since when? Some of you trolls are amazing. The camera looks better in every single way except MP count, which is already more than high enough.

 

[SimleuqiR]

designed for the hand, eh? now show someone reaching for the back button. bah... I'm still upset about the new AR

You guys will bow down to what Apple gives you and you will like it.
Once this bigger iPhone comes out, you guys will be all over it.

Hey maybe Apple will introduce some navigation gestures that help with one-handed use on a bigger screen? Have faith.

I'd appreciate you not telling me what I'll take and what I'll like.

Dude, Everyone in the thread is loving the phone. Apple fans will take what Apple gives them.

I honestly think it looks great, and is not too wide on the sides for the small hands to hold.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Going to announce a new Panorama view I bet.

You win.

Is he sitting next to Topolsky?
