Yes, it'll probably release this week, likely on Sunday.

Thanks. Can't believe Telcel (Mexico) was not added. Shameful.
I think it's how quickly you're able to upload YouTube videos, sync to iCloud, etc.

Depends on whether you're on 3G or LTE as well as where you are, signal strength, etc. I'd guess average LTE upload is somewhere between 5 and 9mbps whereas 3G upload is probably between 512kbps - 2.5mbps?
EDIT: wifi can of course be faster but the basic gist is that the iPhone is always limited by the connection speed when it comes to upstream.
Upload speed is just the speed of communication via Internet from phone to everywhere else.
Anytime the phone talks with anything over Internet, a faster upload will result in faster overall communication. Since its typically much lower than download, it can be a rate-limiting factor in general communication.
Of course, most modern speeds are more than adequate for general communication. Speeds will only be noticeable when doing things like using video conferencing, heavy data transfer and the like.

Does anyone know how to get autofill /auto-login to work properly for Wifi? Still can't get it to work on 6.1
Eh? My phone saves my wifi passwords. I never have to login or fill again.
So is it a good idea to update to 6.1 if we plan on jailbreaking? Should be safe right?
He probably means the auto login not for wifi encryption, rather the systems that are open, but require a membership login like at universities. Those things have been on and off since iOS 3.
Yeah it's safe. 6.1 is still vulnerable according to the jailbreak developers.
Are you planning on putting a few TV seasons on there?
I would if I could, I think my 5-64GB is down to like 4GB now or something.
Thats crazy, I unknowingly filled my 32GB and I always told myself 32 was enough. Ive even deleted apps I don't use, including games.
Yeah same here, but joking about TV seasons aside, I use my iPhone 5 as my primary music device on the go, so I have a lot of music on there, also a lot of productivity apps and games, I actually don't have many videos. I also have a bunch of books on there, basically the iPhone is my go-to all-in-1 device for me.
Hopefully my iPad mini purchase this month will defer some of my iPhone 5 usage away (mainly my school related stuff).
But still, as Isaac Hayes said it best in I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, you can never have enough.

...hate me...
Jumping to conclusions. When the iPhone got 64GB, that iPad had 64GB for 2 generations already.
If dual-NAND is necessary for 128GB, I doubt the next iPhone will get it.
iPhone owners of Gaf could you please lend me an ear?
I had to get my 3 week old iPhone 5 replaced because the lock and homes buttons were defective. After returning home I noticed under the light of my room the replacement refurb model had light scratches all over the front and back of it. I called up apple and was given an appointment but when I went back to the store the Genius Bar dude told me they don't replace $800 phones for minor cosmetic damage after they've left the store.
The scratches are very light and it doesn't really effect the use of the phone at all but the more I think about it the principle is kinda annoying me. It's exactly because its an $800 phone that I don't expect to have it damaged out of the box. Please, people of the Internet, validate me.
*Australia only has a 14 day return policy to the retailer as opposed to the US of A's 30 otherwise I would have replaced the original with a brand new one.

Annouced somewhere around June, release in Sept/October if going by recent releases.
thanks
Ask to speak to the manager at the store, and if that fails call up Apple Care. If that fails, write a letter to Tim Cook if you think it's worth your time. I had an issue once and emailed him, and someone from his office actually called me to try and get it sorted out.

Man, the back two portions of glass on the back are getting small scratches on 'em
The entire front glass of my iPhone have tons of scratches. It doesn't matter. I have learned to not care about it really.
How the heck did you do that?
I can't scratch mine even if I tried.

Regarding dock to lightning port adapters, are there any catches to them? My family has lots of Apple docks and I'm curious if dock to lightning adapters break any functionality with them. I'm also wondering if there is an actual difference between the official Apple adapter and random eBay knock-offs.

Me too. Ordered the red one for my black iPhone 5. Finally some protection I can live with.

I really liked the product, but I'm restraining myself to keep that opinion after seeing that stupid video they have up for it. Wow. I just wanted to see how it works, not "SKRILLEEEEX, RANDOM SHOOOOOOTSSSSSSS"
looks nice.
never used a case (or similar) for my iphones, but the edges of the 5 are a disaster. after years of daily use my old 4 still looked like a brand new phone, the 5 after 2 months: not so much. so i recently got my first cases, including one of these for daily usage:
(mine is a dark brown though)

It's small scratches you can only see in light. I think it's the oil layer on top(?)
30 days only applies when the phone is bought on contract. The unlocked version only has 14 days
Oh, I'm sorry Dusky. I'll get back to you but I'm extremely busy at the moment. Launching a website, finding sponsors, finding writers, doing my other job, my education etc etc etc. but I'll get back to you.Dude, you haven't replied to my pm.
