The build quality and design as usual look absolutely amazing, wish that iOS was a bit more feature rich especially after using an S3 for a while, will probably pick one up when I get back to the US of A, especially considering the way every Apple device interacts within their ecosystem.

I still don't understand why they don't release more then just black and white, would kill for a Red or Blue version.

Cross posting this from the other thread about something I noticed:





They already used the catch phrase before. And the iPhone 4 was a bigger leap over its predecessor than the iPhone 5.

[Az]

I can't even see the pix at work, so OT of the year for sure.

[Radec]

That tagline is sooo bad and yet sooo good

The tagline speaks: "Nothing to do here"

[artist]

Dude, your OP is a picture and a link.

OPs are exactly that. I'll add more links and update it as we get more details. No need to be so upset about it.

OP of the year.

lulz this OP sucks harder than Apple's effort on the new iPhone

.

^ this :D

Ice.Cold

[Letters]

Shame about no exciting surprises, but it was expected I guess. I find the phone sexy as hell, will definitely buy it asap.


PS: OP sucks, I want something nice on gaf to link to friends like I usually do :/

When are the release dates

[Yaboosh]

Screen size competition is going to be interesting in the coming years between iPhone and android. It is such an obvious difference between the two, far more obvious than the app advantage that iPhone has. I wonder if Apple will feel pressure to go bigger in a year or two.

[shagg_187]

The design is stunning, no doubt. At first I was kind of bummed the brushed aliminium back was coated black, but after seeing the HD pictures I changed my mind. It looks sexy as hell.

Too bad it would be hidden behind a shitty case.

[jman2050]

Silly artist, there's already an OT for this in Gaming!!

[NeOak]

lol linking the Apple marketing images.

Nice job OP.

OPs are exactly that. I'll add more links and update it as we get more details. No need to be so upset about it.

The Metal Gear Solid 4 |OT| No Place to Hide, No Time for a Legend to FoxDie thread begs to differ.

[3N16MA]

I still have a 4. Is the retina display a noticeable improvement for plain text (webpages, Kindle, etc)?

iPhone 4 has a retina display. It was the first Apple product to get it.

[Einbroch]

Going from a Droid X2 to either this or the Lumia 920 is going to be amazing.

[dejay]

It's slightly sexier and the bigger screen is welcome, but it's a bit naff at this stage of it's development. The extra row of icons really shows up the OS's age.

Unlike others I think the new Lightning plug is a great addition - it looks super easy to insert.

what a great op

He didn't feel like jail-breaking the banner before customising it.

[Starsunder]

Eh, it's ok.

Passing until the 5s.

[shagg_187]

Eh, it's ok. Passing until the 5s.

5S is going to have the same/similar design.

[Yaboosh]

I like the op. Short and sweet.

Dont forget the EarPods... they deliver sound RIGHT TO YOUR EAR!

The biggest leap since the last leap.

I guess this is more iOS 6 related but I might just ask here: will it use the same music player as the iPad, the one that can sort albums for an artist by release date?

[Izick]

Are people bitter about the iPhone, or that you made a shitty OP? There's no info or anything in it. Just a link to the site and a picture. You should have at least quoted Apple's press release or something, at least Wario did that and he didn't even make an OP.

Oh wait, everyones ""salty"" though. Forget it.

[dwebo]

Too bad it would be hidden behind a shitty case.

aluminum back + sapphire lens maybe means case-less is a (more) viable option

[Bitmap Frogs]

Performance increases are becoming diminishing returns.

Phones and tablets are still limited by performance. It's exciting.

[Baconsaurus Rex]

The tagline speaks: "Nothing to do here"

Wonder how much that guy, or even worse company, got paid to come up with that

[Gotchaye]

iPhone 4 has a retina display. It was the first Apple product to get it.

Good to know that I've been living in the future all along. Guess that means I'm waiting to upgrade; the only other really appealing feature looks to be the turn-by-turn maps.

Edit: Now someone's probably going to tell me I can get the new maps app on my 4 as well.

[3N16MA]

Artist was in a rush to be first. I only hope your Skyfall OT is more impressive.

[Ultima_5]

Happy I've yet to upgrade from my 4. the 5 and the 4s are pretty much the same phone... My contracts up this upcoming summer so I'm not sure what I'll do... I'm guessing the 5s will be pretty neat

[Dali]

I'm not an iPhoner, but I was excited to see what was coming. Pretty boring, Apple. I think the Camry analogy was spot on.

And yes your OP blows. No need to get defensive because people are calling you out for it being bare bones.

Not everyone, but a lot including you.

Look at this guy who's not getting his panties twisted;

People scour the internet for months looks for bits of info, various rumours etc etc then are disappointed when there's no big surprises. Makes sense.

[TheExodu5]

I have an iPhone 4. I don't know what I want to do.

- I could keep paying $73/mo and get an iPhone 5.
- I could buy out of my contract, switch to Wind Mobile, get a Galaxy S3, and pay $32 a month for the same service.
- I could wait out the remaining 9 months of my contract, then switch to Wind.

[DECK'ARD]

It's a play on words about the size increase you muppet ;)

[LyleLanley]

Any word on when an unlocked version will be available?

[massoluk]

I was totally expecting NFC at least. Granted, I don't even use mine on the Galaxy S3, but at this point, I felt it is one of the check boxes that oughta be ticked.

you should wait either way imo...

[BruiserBear]

I'm definitely getting this new iPhone, as an upgrade from my 4, but I'm certainly not feeling the excitement I did back when I got my 4.

I don't even think that says anything negative about the iPhone 5. For me it's just that these phones are already so good, you can't really make them dramatically better. For me having a better camera and better battery life are the biggest improvements. Everything else is just gravy.

[SJRB]

Too bad it would be hidden behind a shitty case.

A shitty case? What do you mean?

[shwimpy]

Was planning on getting white this time around but... the two-tone white looks ugly. :/

[Dude Abides]

How much will it cost? My 4S is all smashed up. I got it free from work but I'm not sure when I can get a new free one.

[Marty Chinn]

Phones and tablets are still limited by performance. It's exciting.

Not really on the phone front. Given the scope of most apps and the fragmentation of devices, you're not going to be making apps to push the hardware. Very few games will do that as well. To do so cuts off the scope of your potential audience.

[artist]

I'm not talking about the 5, I just think you made a shitty OP.

Maybe you didnt read the part where I said I'll update it as more information comes out.

[SmokyDave]

Mine mine mine. Can't fucking wait.

[RiccochetJ]

Looks like a great phone, but I honestly thought it would be a bigger jump from the 4S.

[Gila]

Not impressed Apple, not impressed at all

I'm way more excited for iOS 6

[Majine]

Eeeh, now I feel like getting a 4S rather, seeing as it's cheaper than before. Wish they had a 32GB model tho.

[Izick]

Maybe you didnt read the part where I said I'll update it as more information comes out.

Yeah, but instead of making a good OP, you just basically posted a blank message with an iPhone 5 title so nobody else could. OP's should be about who can do one well, not first.

[alphaNoid]

You can if you're not Apple, apparently. There are much better phones on the market.

[ashbash159]

To be honest I knew everything about the iPhone 5 already due to the accurate leaks, but I'm not sold. I have an iPhone 4 and the amount of additional features from the 4 to the 5 is too minimal for me.

They're running out of things to put in phones to get me to buy them.

[DECK'ARD]

I'm not talking about the 5, I just think you made a shitty OP just to be first.

I just asked Siri that about the OP and got the answer "No shit, Sherlock".

OP fail.

[Davedough]

I could have held my own iPhone 5 presser with one gif:

[Willkiller]

I'm not talking about the 5, I just think you made a shitty OP just to be first.

:lol I for one prefer cleaner OPs that don't clutter the page. Nice and simple, a couple of pictures so I can see what the thing looks like and a link to the Apple site If I want more information.

Have you, and I know it's a scary thought but hear me out, thought to just click the link to Apple's site and find out what you need to know there?

[Harry Potter]

Yeah, but instead of making a good OP, you just basically posted a blank message with an iPhone 5 title so nobody else could. OP's should be about who can do one well, not first.

He's waiting for more information to be released, duh. Like the price, and when it comes out. Oh wait.
