I might just keep my 4S until the next update gets released. If a new iPod Touch gets released, my mom is probably going to get one.

[Copernicus]

Not surprising they count 6 as 5, they're always one step behind.

[KingKong]

I'm not upgrading from 4S but I'm so hyped up. There's got to be at least one surprise, right? If everything has already been leaked then I'll be sad :(

[Ultima_5]

i want a new ipod classic. im dead serious too

[PhoncipleBone]

Not surprising they count 6 as 5, they're always one step behind.

Except in sales and profit.

[SimleuqiR]

The girlfriend is looking to get this thing called "The new "I" phone." Need to know when it will be ready for pre-order on Verizon.

[OriginofHysteria]

Well I think I'm due for an upgrade this month. Is this the year I switch from a droid to an iPhone? Hmm.

[Copernicus]

Except in sales and profit.

My favorite measure of tech!

[FlashFlooder]

i want a new ipod classic. im dead serious too

same here.

[andycapps]

Ready to sell my OG EVO for the next iPhone. EVO is still kicking, but long in the tooth.

[Ephemeris]

Time to print money.

[Hoo-doo]

[Dosia]

Need a new phone bad. My 3gs is so slow and crashes often lately.

[mitheor]

I´m upgrading my smartphone (4S) this Q so it´ll be either iPhone5 or Note2.

Drop the bomb Apple, please.

Ps. Subscribed

[Snkfanatic]

Really interested to see what the next version is. I will be keeping my 4S till next year though. Still love it.

[Trojita]

and user satisfaction

unless you're talking about Siri.

Seriously, I'd be pissed if I was a person that got tricked by those commercials. It sucks. I bought the phone because I wanted an iPhone and didn't have one yet.

[Kosmo]

Prediction time!

• Larger, elongated screen (we all know this)
• New, smaller docking port
• Wireless charging - this is the reason for the textured back, I think
• New headphones (all but confirmed)
• 4G LTE
• Longer battery life, due to more room on the internals

[The Dutch Slayer]

I think this is the best mockup video I have seen so far.
I believe this 99%

[Wario64]

Announcing it a day before the Wii U? Bad move Apple



for Nintendo lol

[Got the Shakes]

I've had a 4 since launch and I've been waiting over 2 years for this version of the iPhone to be released. Been eligible for an upgrade since last December, and my contract ended in June. I can't wait!

[robertsan21]

I might be upgrading from iPhone 4 to this new iPhone, I guess it all depends on how awesome the new one is.

Pretty happy with my iPhone 4 to be honest. however it´s always fun to have new stuff :)

one thing that is important, is the thickness of it, hopefully its thinner than an iphone 4.

[PhoncipleBone]

I have an iPhone 4 and am itching to upgrade. Not sure if I will try to do it before the holiday, or after the new year. Contract is up on current one in February, so let's see if Verizon is forgiving.

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

Not surprising they count 6 as 5, they're always one step behind.

[MedIC86]

i already mailed my carrier if i qualify for a free upgrade T_T make it so

[rhfb]

Shame the screen just got taller and didn't gain any width as well :(

[celebi23]

I'm due for an upgrade so, looks like I'll be finally getting an iPhone :D

[buhdeh]

lmao

And UI and innovation and follow through....

Everything except wireless charging is pretty much all guaranteed at this point.

[Toki767]

They really didn't try with their tagline this time did they? Usually it's something witty.

[sfedai0]

This could be my first smartphone.

[Cereal KiIIer]

The FBI will have a blast with all those new tracking devices.

[krypt0nian]

The FBI will have a blast with all those new tracking devices.

Oh Noes!

[Wiz]

My interest is definitely piqued. Will be my first iPhone

[Silver_DNA]

The warranty on my 3GS and I can really see the age on it. Maybe if I can get my second job I'll upgrade.

[bearcatjosh]

What is the deal with these new headphones of which you speak?

[KennyLinder]

They really didn't try with their tagline this time did they? Usually it's something witty.

Cool shadow though.

[HTuran]

Just about ready to upgrade my original 2G.

It's served me well. Still runs great, too.

[polyh3dron]

waiting until the refined version.. My 4S will serve me perfectly well until then.

[Gooster]

iPhone turned 5 this year.

[Bgamer90]

iPhone turned 5 this year.

Good point.

[Jarmel]

Damn, wish it came out sooner. iPhone 4 bricked last night.

[LCfiner]

Just about ready to upgrade my original 2G. It's served me well. Still runs great, too.

DAAAAAAMN! The speed of a new one will leave you flabbergasted.

[-Pyromaniac-]

wtf lol

your mind is gonna blow

[dwebo]

hoping they announce the ipad mini at this event too, even though lately everyone's saying that'll be in october instead. well, fuck 'em

while I'll probably get an iphone5, I'm more interested in what amazon and nintendo announce. phones are boring

[enzo_gt]

My 3GS is ready.

[MarkusRJR]

What's the chance they update any of the iPods at this event (touch, nano, or shuffle)? I need a new iPod but the current nanos are shit.
