What the fuck? Lol my iPhone JUST got to the local distribution center 5 minutes ago. Okay, if it can take 2-3 hours I will have someone home.
...and that will be the last shitty picture taken with my iPhone 4 (seriously, I don't know why it came out so ugly it doesn't seem that dark in here.)
Also 64GB got here right in time; I had to delete a picture in order for the camera app to let me take the blur-fest above.

4 iphones? you getting them for the family?

So it's then final nail in the coffin for the iPhone OG/3G, I guess. Developers will not want to not support the new iPhone screen.
Yep; my parents and one of my younger brothers. Trying to make sure we all get our phones in the right configurations on launch day always makes the preorder process fun.
confirmed to better in that regard. not just longer.

How's the bass? Not that I'm a bass guy, but for example the Apple in-ear headphones are noticeably light on bass, so I wonder if they done the same to the new earPods.
I can confirm that these adapters work nicely.
Quick thoughts:
Got black. scuffed. still beautiful. thin enough so the edges don't feel that bad in hand
The Transit App is looks stunning. Almost pisses me off that it's exclusively for iOS. I'll have to put it through its paces to see if it has the functionality to match.
I keep reaching for a non existent back button.
Ok so Safari full screen is landscape only. That's dumb. Even worse, the rotation lock is still portrait only. So you can't lock Safari in full screen. Lol. iOS you still suck so much. Oh well.
I switched from an iPhone 4 to a 5 mostly out of a need to switch from AT&T to Verizon, not because I was even a little unhappy with the 4. The 5 is cool, but so far there is nothing about it that has really wowed me. I did like how painlessly it restored from the Cloud backup, since I've never done that. All my contacts came over and it's installing all my applications as well, so I'll get to playing with this once they finish.
I'm sure it'll be great, I'm just oddly not excited about it so far. No scuffs is a relief though!

Man iTunes is crawling right now....guess that's what happens when everyone is getting their entire catalog "from the cloud".

With estimated active usage of 3G/Touch 2G hovering below 10%, apps will slowly move towards supporting the new one, slowly.
It's not a total loss, there's awkward workarounds to only update versions for certain versions and above, but it'd be incredibly awkward to do so (and I'd imagine only the biggest apps like Facebook would take such an approach)
I'm surprised at how much is being made out of the "taller" screen.
You DO realize that it is simply bringing the iPhone in line with the aspect ratio of just about every smart phone right? They finally moved up to 16:9.
Anyone?

please take a pic of the same scene with your i5 and post thx.
White is not right, confirmed by ME. Going to return and order a black 64GB.
That is a big reason in itself.
I am because I have to go and get mine replaced.

the scuffs happen after use, not out of the box
I just opened my iPhone and ...black shavings got on my fingers. I'm hopeful that it's just dust from the factory where they anodized these things, and not paint that has come off. A thorough inspection of the paint is about to happen, the results of which may crush my soul.
Yeah I will probably pick one up after the first of the year.

Nope. Ask Whitta, he went through several boxes when he was trying to buy one.

Son of a bitch they just updated my tracking to "out for delivery" at 9:44am. I'm boned.
Why does a Jedi have a shield?Now everything makes sense:
Man they are slipping...
The black one looks so sexy too. They are suppose to be masters of design here.
Yeah, my volume and power buttons all feel a bit loose.
I also can confirm scuffs out of the box, but since mine was delivered I don't have the option to 'reject' the phone
Great phone, but disappointing build quality.

Retina scuffs.
