Paradoxal_Utopia said:So, serious question here: What has Jonathan Ive and his team been doing for the past year? Ok, so there was the iPad 2, but I'm sure that design was finalized in January at the latest. There's been absolutely no new form factors after that for any Apple product, whether it be Macs, iOS devices, or even accessories. Absolutely NOTHING has been touched in terms of external design.
I'm honestly curious how Apple's design team have been spending their time, day in and day out. Do they just come out with a boatload of concepts for fun and end up scrapping 100% of them? Have they been sitting on a beach? It's not like Apple has a massive product line, and the iPhone is their most important product. Seeing as how Apple is the richest company on the planet, R&D money wasn't the issue, and neither was time (16months+), nor capability. So, what, then?

hilarious.

kpop100 said:Oh they will when they notice you aren't talking to your phone like the rest of us.

ConradCervantes said:Will be picking this up next week, only decision I need to make until then is who I'd sign with. My contract with ATT ended in August, and I wasn't too happy with them in the end.

KHarvey16 said:Except AT&T has the faster 3G, so if you browse instead of stream and use a ton of data it might make more sense to go that direction.
Screw that, they should just go with internal code names. Hey what iPhone do you have, oh this little ole thing is the iPhone N94A. Rolls right off the tongue see.3N16MA said:I think Apple should do away with the numbering system and just go with "iPhone." As a new gen is released rename the older gen "iPhone Classic."

I doubt it.civilstrife said:I there any logical reason for them not to allow current iPhone 4 users to use Siri other than to make the 4S more attractive?

3N16MA said:No reason not to get the 4S if you want an iPhone.. Next gen iPhone won't be out until next year.
fizzelopeguss said:£100 quid iphone 4 off contract?
cvxfreak said:Actually, if Apple followed this last time frame again (about 16 months), then we may not get the next phone until February or March 2013.
They'll call it the 6 because it'll be the first 6-core phone, have a 6-inch screen and 6 antennas.BocoDragon said:They may or may not want to call it that for marketing purposes... but "6" would follow the pattern if you're being consistent. I think they'll just call it whatever they want.
Raitosaito said:Supposedly Siri was doing a lot of cloud computing on it's side when it was an app, and it had to rely on the 3g connection to work out it's algorithm.
Now it's just integrated into the phone. "Supposedly" a Siri employee said something about Siri needing the new processor.
Could be BS. Probably BS.
Zabka said:What were people expecting out of an iPhone 5 that this doesn't have? Bigger screen?
Zizbuka said:Really? I just don't see the excitement. Definitely won't steer me back to iphone from android.

What possible big upgrade would make your switch? Surely the most important thing will be software rather than hardware.Jakeh111 said:Sticking to Android, im not seeing what the big upgrade is? Maybe we will see one in 6 months

Bigger screen would be bad news for me, current size is ideal.Jakeh111 said:Bigger screen, better price.
