That's not too bad though, at least you have data connectivity. For me at least I'm hardly using my phone for calls, especially extended ones that may require data, so I'm not even sure the Verizon limitation would even be that big of a deal

I'd rather voice + HSPA+ data than nothing.

VZW people:

You: I recently pre-ordered the iPhone 5 and when I check to see my order status it says it doesn't exist. You: I have my email and confirmation number and everything. Sheena: I'd be happy to assist you. Sheena: What is your order number ? You: XXXXX, pre-order confirmation: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Sheena: Did you complete this order with agent You: No, I simply ordered it last night when the pre-orders were available. Sheena: One oment Sheena: I show that your order was completed it will not show on order status because the phone is not availale now .

So there you go. As long as you got your email, it will be fine.

More about the lighting connector from an electrical engineer, with comments about microusb and usb 3.0. http://brockerhoff.net/blog/2012/09/13/boom-2/

People keep asking why Apple didn’t opt for the micro-USB connector. The answer is simple: that connector isn’t smart enough. It has only 5 pins: +5V, Ground, 2 digital data pins, and a sense pin, so most of the dock connector functions wouldn’t work – only charging and syncing would. Also, the pins are so small that no current plug/connector manufacturer allows the 2A needed for iPad charging.

This is bullshit. Lots of devices put 2A over microUSB. The HP Touchpad and Nexus 7 does this.

It is also a problem that could likely be resolved with software, as long as they are able to agree upon a VOIP solution for LTE - which IMO probably should have been done years ago, but I guess telcos wants to get the most out of their existing tech.

If you get the message: Please check the information you have entered. Data may be missing or may have entered an invalid Pre-Order Number or Last Name.

just keep refreshing till you get your status. works for me

[dorkimoe]

From Apple? You have to wait for the shipping confirmation first. And it's a slip of paper that you fill out and put on your door.

Yup, thank you sir :).

[HenryGale]

Yup, thank you sir :).

You can even say where to put the box. I left the piece of paper for my iPad last year and left the trunk to my car unlocked and said place in trunk of car and close. When I got home I had a new iPad in my trunk.

[Mairu]

Man, next time I'm not buying AppleCare at the same time. Made the address change much more complicated apparently -_-

So my father wants to finally jump on board the iPhone train. He's been using a first gen iPod touch for the past few years and wants to transfer all that stuff (Notes, contacts, apps, etc) over to a new iPhone 5. I would assume this is possible via backup/restore, but he'd be going from iOS 2(!!) to iOS 6. Anyone know if you can do this, or does it have to be the same OS version in order to work?

No clue, but out of curiosity why iOS 2? My 1st gen touch is on 3.1.3

edit: oh wait, they started charging for updates back then, right?

[Mr. Sandman]

Don't you love when you find out about something, are able to buy it and have it in your hand in about a week's period?

[i_am_not_jon_ames]

Has anyone changed their shipping address yet?

I did this morning. You should have no problem at all.

[ChanHuk]

Went to preorder my phone at Best Buy. 2 hours in and they already had 70 or so preorders. That all carriers of course. I was 3rd to preorder a 64GB black for AT&T. I'm hoping to be safe.....

You should be but the 64GB numbers seem to be lower than the other options from what I've seen around here.

[Dinokill]

I have a question

I just preordered Iphone 5 white 16gb at best buy with AT&T with the discounted price but I'm thinking to give this one to my dad who's birthday is coming up. If I do this how much will I have to pay to buy another Iphone a week or so later? thanks

[Tobor]

Cancelled my preorder. I feel confident I'll find one in the wild before Oct. 5. (fingers crossed)

[Husker86]

Are the photos and videos uploaded to photostream the same file that you'd get if you connected your iPhone to the computer and transfered? Basically are they full quality?

[Tobor]

Yes. No compression.

[kruskev]

How was the iphone 4s launch? Could you go into an apple store and pick one up without waiting in ridiculous long lines?

[giga]

On your computer they're full resolution. On an iOS device they're downsized.

[ashrafazlan]

going from a 600mhz to this

I know that feel bro, I jumped from the original Iphone to the 4S and almost shat myself.

Wireless cooking

[Mr. Sandman]

I see a wire.

[Mammoth Jones]

Yea. Also full resolution on apple tv.

[ivedoneyourmom]

I see a wire.

See, but the wire on the cooking dock doesn't matter, energy is being transferred to the handheld pan wirelessly...

[MasLegio]

Already? http://android-sale.com/goophone-i5.html Apparently creators of this "unique" phone want to challenge Apple on the IP5 patent in china. :D Good old China. Btw, dat specs!

china don't care!

[RevDM]

Question about verizon data/talk fiasco. Can you talk to someone and send them a picture message at the same time?

[Pachterballs]

See, but the wire on the cooking dock doesn't matter, energy is being transferred to the handheld pan wirelessly...

um, its induction cooking? what?

[Tobor]

um, its induction cooking? what?

That's the joke. People keep calling inductive charging "wireless" charging.

[Aurizen]

So, anyone wanna sell me their iphone 5 for 300 maybe?

[The Faceless Master]

Wireless cooking

wow... just... wow...

So, anyone wanna sell me their iphone 5 for 300 maybe?

$300 for an iPhone 5? only if you buy a gun...

[Kibbles]

Wait I just saw a video that shows it has a "nano-SIM" slot? what? Does this mean I can't take buy this seperately and put my SIM card in from my Infuse 4G?

wtf, how do I get a nano-SIM? How much is that going to cost? ughhhh

[Eaten By A Grue]

I'd rather voice + HSPA+ data than nothing.

I may be in the minority, but after two versions of the iPhone I have never talked and did data access at the same time. I am currently switching from AT&T to Verizon because to me 4G LTE in my area (Philadelphia) is taking precedence then talking and doing data access as the same time.

[Aurizen]

lol aww :(

I'm in the Philadelphia area too :) its good to know I am not alone :)

Doesn't seem like a big issue to me, either. I can see it being a problem if you are using the iphone for navigation whilst talking on the phone hands free.

lol dude are you still at this, GAF is not the sort of place where you'll find someone giving you an iPhone 5 for free. I mean, you can keep asking but...

anyone wanna give me an iphone 5? ^_^

can anyone get me an iphone? :3

but will anyone have a giveaway of the iphone 5?

aw im broke at the moment sorry dude, lol wishful thinking someone would give an iPhone 5 away like some people do on youtube. I'm not lucky :/

well anyone want to give away an iphone 5 from AT&T?

[Xcellere]

I'm going from this (DAT BRAIN CANCER):



To the 5.

[Aurizen]

Jeez...

[gdt]

I think I'll finally, finally get a smart phone. This will be it.

[RevDM]

can someone answer my question about verizon talking and sending mms pictures at the same time?

[Koyuga]

This is what I'm upgrading from :

Decided I'm getting black, 16GB over the 32GB. I'll be using Droid 2 as my MP3 player until I can find a replacement, not gonna bother putting music on my iPhone to save space. Looking at getting the new iPod Nano...

[Curufinwe]

I know that feel bro, I jumped from the original Iphone to the 4S and almost shat myself.

I went from this to a 4S earlier this year, but the 4S was provided free thru work so no chance of me upgrading to the iPhone 5 even if I wanted to.

[AngryMoth]

12 hours later and no order confirmation email :S
