Next year, once they integrate all that Authentec tech they purchased.

With AT&T, Unlimited is $30, 3GB is $30, and 5GB is $50.
Retailer support for NFC is not really there. No point in making a sizzle video about it if people won't be able to actually go out and experience the sizzle.
I got mine through ATT (since I couldn't get through Apple's site at the time
, but I recall people who got it directly through Apple had similar experiences. No guarantees, but if you pre-order right when they open orders online on Friday, worst case probably is the phone showing up at your place on the release date with everyone else. Without the line waiting.devildog820

AT&T users can keep unlimited plans. Verizon users cannot. If you want the $199 price on Verizon, you have to give up unlimited.
If you preorder from Apple it will arrive at your doorstep on the 21st. If you preorder from AT&T or Verizon websites, it SHOULD arrive then. However, in the 4 and 4S launches, the cell companies screwed up and delivered some the Monday after. Just order from store.apple.com, it will be easier and Apple will make it right.

Thank you! Sticking with 'em, I guess.
Not to mention the obvious... they charge you for overages.

Disgusting.
Also why it makes sense not to include NFC at this time. I personally think we are few years away from seeing decent retailer support for it.
I have a couple of questions.
1)What do you guys think the chances are that Apple will pack in a dock adapter with the phone?
2)Does anybody know if there will be option to disable LTE drop down to 3G? Like you can currently disable 3G on the iPhone 4?
Haha, yup. But to the latter, yes, I said that back then as well;Yep. One of of should go dig up all the posts swearing to us they would be flush, and that the leaks were "assembled improperly"

Zeth, sorry your expectations didn't come true.

I can't really see Apple throwing a feature into a phone that will only frustrate and confuse their customers.
and no way in hell with there be a dock adapter in the box.....

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
New iPod Touch looks great. Is the release date the same as iPhone?
There's like 300,000 merchants using paypass(nfc).
Are Wi-Fi routers not considered wireless? The router is connected via cables to a power source.
How the dock and the device interact is what is wireless.
Besides, with the amount of people in this thread excited about reversable cables being great for night time cgarging... this takes it a step further by removing the cable completely.
Plop the phone on the base and you're done.
This...I love the classic!

I get throttled at 2.5GB but have never even reached 10% of that usage. I guess it's because I rarely try to watch a video over my data connection.Happy that I get to keep my unlimited data plan
Want to use your existing accessories with the new iPhone/iPods?
Well, that's gonna cost ya, $29 to be exact:

How wireless is it if you have to place it on top, seriously. Can't really compare that to wi-fi. It's more like a very very practical physical connection.
My electric toothbrush charger is just as wireless and putting it to charge isn't very different from putting my iPhone on its dock at night.
Don't look at Verizon's plans if you are having a good day
Ah, for crying out loud. I was all set to buy a Nano (first one in years) and I noticed that it lacks WiFi. That's definitely a dealbreaker.
I'm just sick of using my phone for podcasts since my Zune broke, but I don't want a device that lacks WiFi and I don't want to pay those silly prices for an iPod.

Will the UK store sell it factory unlocked from Day 1 as in previous launches?
I think so, yeah. Pre-orders start 14th as well.
What I want to know is if the new earpods come with it or not. All the pics indiciate as much, even on the sole 'buy ipod touch' page.

I'm an Apple fan, and I think the Nano looks... kind of bad. I was hoping for something cool, since I'd like to pick up a small iPod to use while jogging (instead of carrying my phone, which I do now).
I wouldn't mind that weird border if I could just get a white one. But with any color it looks weird. I'm not really sure what I want, but it's not this.
Think I might stick with the S-series of phones. Went 3GS to 4S, think I'll hold off for the 5S. Not seeing enough of a reason to upgrade here, but if the 5S is as much of an upgrade over the 5 as 4S was to 4 I will be happy.

Yes but it is £30 more.

Sorry but this thread is just huge so I'm going to ask without searching:
If I buy an iPhone 5 from Apple, how am I supposed to go about getting a new SIM that will fit it? I'm with Giffgaff in the UK, I take it the micro-sim I have now can't just be cut down to fit inside like the old ones?

I think they are just even more cut down normal sims. Giff gaff might well provide them, or offer a community service like with the micro sims

Problem is the only way I can justify buying a 5 is by selling my 4, so I'm worried I'm going to be left stranded without a SIM for days or weeks during the transition
I checked their site and apparently they will have a blog about it tomorrow. Fingers crossed it's simple enough.
