I'm about to fall asleep from this iOS 6 shit we've known about for months.

 

[Hot Coldman]

It's pretty interesting to me, given my phone is still this:

 

[SJRB]

Pretty silly how people are getting mighty upset over something as trivial as an adapter.

 

[Sqrt_minus_one]

HDMI??? I can stream hd content from my s3 without connecting hdmi...

Oh for goodness sake stop trolling already.

 

[siddhu33]

Is passbook new?

 

[SmokyDave]

I assume you'll be buying two. One to go straight into the display case?

Nah, the 5 isn't quite the design perfection of the 4. I want the spec bump though.

 

[Emily Chu]

Lot of salty people in here. Pretty hilarious.

I still don't see how this phone is better then say a Galaxy Nexus or an S3 with Jellybean on it...

Apple apply yourself

Sub HD res ? the fuck ?

Still Dual Core?

[BenjaminBirdie]

This new iOS is just killing me. DEPLOY IT DEPLOY IT DEPLOY IT

Is it just me or does it feel like they're rushing and just piling all the new features on top of each other? Steve used to kinda let every meaningful upgrade sink in.

They've already covered iOS 6 and the iPhone 5 has no jaw dropping features. Just small (good) tweaks.

 

[goodfella]

I don't understand what this means

For Safari.

 

[vagabondarts]

3rd negative post of the thread, great job!

gotta keep it positive in apple land, right?

It's okay man. They're saving the interesting stuff for the end...right?

 

[Gandie]

It ended long ago.

 

[Fantastical]

As someone who has never had a smartphone... why is 3 microphones a big deal? Video recording?

 

[Raitosaito]

Apple threads just exist for people to bash on. . .

 

[Baconsammy]

So far this is one boring show. And now we are stuck with one damn boring iPhone for the next two years.

It's a good upgrade. It's not revolutionary or deserving of all the (!!!!)s that fanboys give it, nor is it as remotely bad/bland as haters will label it. It's a phone. A really good phone.

 

[lexi]

There are a ridiculous amount of trolls in this thread, way more than I remember from other Apple live blogs.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Looks like i'll be sticking with my regular old iPhone 4. Nothing is really enticing me to upgrade.

yeah, some cool stuff, and the phone itself looks nice, but er, i'm not in a rush.

Verge is just straight up trolling now.

"You take two fingers and you can change the camera angle." Seems to work just like Google Maps 3D view.

"I can get back to any of my content from any of my browsers on the go, it's called iCloud tabs." Sort of like Google's Chrome syncing between desktop and Android

 

[Treefingers]

Is passbook new?

It was shown at WWDC

 

[illmatic19]

Jeez, really not digging Engadget's liveblog this time. Any better alternatives?

 

[SlowRevolution]

Is it just me or does it feel like they're rushing and just piling all the new features on top of each other? Steve used to kinda let every meaningful upgrade sink in.

They've already gone through most (if not all) of the iOS 6 stuff they're going through now earlier when they announced it, don't know why they're spending so much time rehashing.

 

[Zeth]

How many people will actually buy that adaptor? Owners of Logitech clock radio docks? LOL

 

[siddhu33]

Jeez, really not digging Engadget's liveblog this time. Any better alternatives?

The verge's is OK.

 

[Stumpokapow]

I'm a little disappointed in a lack of NFC/Paypass stuff. I want to use my phone to buy things. I don't want to carry my credit card or a wallet at all.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Is passbook new?

Announced previously.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I like how Rogers' website has "Reservation" page in store front. F5-ing like madness.

 

[alphaNoid]

Except, you know, every single thing about it.

Except no, unless you mean some panarama mode and half ass charging cable that requires consumers to buy an adapter lol

This thing is so lackluster its hard to put into words. Apple is just playing catchup with the competition at this point.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

I still don't see how this phone is better then say a Galaxy Nexus with Jellybean on it...

I think this and the S3/Nexus are pretty close. Just depends on what you want.

Just funny seeing people do the whole South Park think "ANDROID DOES THIS ALREADY OMG."

 

[BuggyDClown]

HDMI??? I can stream hd content from my s3 without connecting hdmi...

Same with my iphone. not everyone wants an apple tv or whatever. Some people like or need wires. Also again thunderbolt?

 

[Dynoro]

Is Passbook any good outside North America? I would find it really useful if it has a lot of support in the UK

 

[enzo_gt]

Verge is just straight up trolling now.

I am
Enjoying it thoroughly.

 

[criesofthepast]

Samsung Galaxy S3 owners.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

As someone who has never had a smartphone... why is 3 microphones a big deal? Video recording?

Noise cancellation.

 

[CrashPrime]

I see a Virgin Mobile image on the live-blog stream. Did they mention launch dates yet? I just discovered the wonders of Virgin Mobile's amazingly low price plans that use Sprint towers (very good coverage in my area). It'd be nice to be able to buy a non-contract supersmart on day1.

If that's the case, $699 here I come.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

It's pretty interesting to me, given my phone is still this:

Screw you man, Apple only makes iPhones for those of us who already own iPhones.

 

[The Elite]

Love all the Android users he need to shit up yet another Apple thread to validate their purchase. Can't we all just be friends?

 

[rozay]

I still don't see how this phone is better then say a Galaxy Nexus with Jellybean on it...

Apple apply yourself

Sub HD res ? the fuck ?

Still Dual Core?

3-4 hours browsing time on LTE/3G on the nexus versus 8 hours on the iPhone is the biggest advantage I think.

 

[Kinitari]

I'm still holding out for something amazing.

 

[kehs]

Pretty silly how people are getting mighty upset over something as trivial as an adapter.

As Liu would say, it seems like change for the sake of change.

Maybe I missed it, but does it add any advantage other than reversible connection?

 

[Newline]

iPhone 6 it is, the 4s is more than enough for me.

 

[planar1280]

Verge is just straight up trolling now.

its called comparing not trolling

 

[noah111]

Lemme guess Scott, no NFC?

 

[AkuMifune]

Verge is just straight up trolling now.

They were doing it in the Microsoft Surface Liveblog too. For some reason they think snark is a feature of a tech site.

 

[BattleMonkey]

Pretty silly how people are getting mighty upset over something as trivial as an adapter.

People don't find having to toss out hundreds of dollars of their gizmos out now because it won't dock with the new phone. I figured it would happen eventually but yea I got a bunch of crap thats not going to work and adapter won't help. At least I didn't buy anything super high end because I figured it would happen eventually when I decided to upgrade.

 

[distantmantra]

It's pretty interesting to me, given my phone is still this:

I'm still rocking this. Probably gonna get a 4S instead of the 5.

 

[LM4sure]

Oh for goodness sake stop trolling already.

Just don't know why they wouldn't go universal usb. The proprietary format is a joke. And just another way for Apple to screw you by charging $20 for the cable.
