The photo share thing is great though. I used that a little on iOS6 on the iPad.

 

[BolognaSoup]

Amazed people are upset about the new connector/adapters. Did you guys want to hang on to composite and s-video forever too?

 

[fluffydelusions]

Is it wider also or just taller? Kind of looks like they ONLY made it taller...looks kinda weird IMO.

 

[outunderthestars]

Great stuff, but a boring presentation.

 

[twobear]

Siri, which last time I tried doesn't understand a word me or my friends say...

[TheBioLover]

This is pretty boring. Siri could be cool.

 

[GCX]

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

This thread is super positive compared to the conference threads on the gaming side.

 

[FinKL]

Im confused...

Does Lightning connect only connect to Thunderbolt ports?

Cause I can only think of a few products that have those...

 

[Ephemeris]

Verge is just straight up trolling now.

...but it's true

 

[moramo]

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

[flyover]

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.

I'm doing the same -- if it's available. But I think when he mentioned Virgin it was for Canada, not US.

The passbook this is going to make a lot of advertising money for Apple. Opt in and you get automatic coupons to Target or Mcdonalds.

 

[buhdeh]

Kinda seems like they should've just went micro usb in the first place.

 

[Liquidsnake]

will this be exclusive to sprint for a while?

 

[JaggedSac]

Did Apple just create an Instagram type service? I don't use Instagram so I am not sure if they are the same.

 

[mxgt]

Samsung Galaxy S3 owners.

Are you people really this insecure?

 

[Emwitus]

Well, when are we going to get those all glass flexible phones? Last time i was amazed by a phone presentation was when apple showed the first iphone. Snore fest.

 

[pxleyes]

safari fulscreen mode only on iphone 5

no?

 

[Hot Coldman]

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

 

[Enco]

So is the 5 camera better than the 4S?

 

[LordCanti]

"Siri, why do the Chiefs suck so hard?"
"Because you didn't pray hard enough."

 

[mjc]

Apple scum making a mockery of GB like that.

 

[Arnie]

Should be called iPhone 4"

Underwhelming.

 

[criesofthepast]

I'm still holding out for something amazing.

Me too man. So far it's not worth the hassle of selling my 4S on Craigslist and upgrading.

Are you people really this insecure?

Yes

[Pepto]

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

It isn't.

 

[vagabondarts]

I'm on the fence between an iPhone and a Samsung.

Past time to upgrade but I'm not sure what I want to do. Been in this place for about 8 months.

 

[HollovVpo1nt]

When Apple announced a new iPhone, they set a benchmark and other OEM's have to compete with it. This time however, it seems that Apple are playing catch up. Nothing so far has excited or amazed me whatsoever.

 

[andycapps]

will this be exclusive to sprint for a while?

No way. Sprint user here.

 

[siddhu33]

Kinda seems like they should've just went micro usb in the first place.

But that's not apple's way. Why use the same adaptors everyone else has, when we can make up our own?

 

[geeko]

Apple showing some 49ers <3

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Verge are dicks all around.

 

[fluffydelusions]

There would be no money for them in that.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

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?

It's smaller! That's like literally the only reason for it.

 

[edgefusion]

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

It allows for improved call quality and Siri will (hopefully) better understand you.

Don't even joke like that. ;[

 

[Enco]

Yea that's ugly as hell.

"You don't notice it."

Yea...

 

[Face it Tiger..]

*thumbs up*

 

[Nevasleep]

Nah, Micro USB is shit. So fiddly.

 

[rozay]

They haven't showed the landscape keyboard yet have they? I am a little worried this means they'll do the same shit implementation android 16:9 phones have versus a usable split keyboard like the iPad's.

 

[KingKong]

I know a bunch of people with 4Ses (and I have one) and none of us use Siri at all, talking to your phone is just weird man

 

[kehs]

People are piling on the verge because they're not gobbling down apple's cock.

shocked.

 

[Fantastical]

Is the base model still supposed to be 8GB?

EDIT: I forgot my mom has a 4, not a 4S. I guess they upgraded it in 4S.

 

[Sirolf]

Verge are dicks all around.

I see what you did there

 

[LTWheels]

Have they announced when they are going to get Siri to actually work outside of the US? Useless in the UK.

 

[siddhu33]

Siri works great when I put on an american accent. If I use my dad's half indian half brit accent? Doesn't work at all.

3. microphones.

Really? You've been in this thread for a while, and you don't know?
