You missed the word "revolutionary" ..

83. Ohrules posted on 12 Sep 2012, 13:40 5

what i'm truly amazed at is that almost the entire phone specs leaked, from screen size to design, chipset to.... well, i can go on for ever

99. flamencoguy posted on 12 Sep 2012, 14:18 2 1

The 5th row with one icon on it? ....HA

TheLibertine... you are smart enough to buy this iPhone5 just for the 5th row of apps..

appreciate your iFanboyism... Lol

Revolution for Apple has died along with Steve, well at least for now...sorry Steve. The only improvements we'll see is the price! Yes... revolutionary price!

Apple should have really concentrated on its new product rather than patents . I thought at least they would do it simultaneously . But they have completely lost it .

I am among the ones who agrees Samsung copied something from Apple . But that is long back and now they are miles ahead of Apple . But Apple is still crying about it and stopped developing .

Samsung should sue Apple for LTE, 4" screens, and panorama photos.

136. serious9010 posted on 16 Sep 2012, 03:45 1

By copying the iPhone with the s1, they basically didn't have to dip their toe in the water to check if it's cold. Apple did that for them. They have fed from apples fame. Thieves.

27. TheLibertine posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:35 16 2

Wait. There is more! 4 inch 16:9 ratio screen and LTE...! Together with the 5th row of apps! Only Apple could do something like this! Oh... Oh... Wait...

117. hariprasath.j posted on 12 Sep 2012, 15:01 2

wondering why are you so excited about 5th row of apps? Dont you have enough number of homescreens to fit your apps ?

52. parth027 posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:58 12

Man they have black colour..ohh wait.. white as well... amazing

118. hariprasath.j posted on 12 Sep 2012, 15:05

Finally a Product that's got nothing new to the current generation of technology yet can fool millions around.... Stop getting fooled u iTrolls... Learn from Mistakes...

126. Jelly_Bean posted on 12 Sep 2012, 15:56 1

1. This is what what we have never designed before.
2. This phone would change the way humanity use a cell phone
3. It has got more than 200 new features which you will never find on this device.

If this is the device what you had been designing from last 2 years. cApple you should have consecrated on consumer's demands. If you think you can win the race of smartphone using this crap then I have got just 2 words for you -------> f**k Off

2. desijatt posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:21 16

same as rumors.....

24. Nathan_ingx posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:34 4 13

You have to give credit to Apple for not changing a thing you know, lol, with respect to the renders and alleged images... Unlike Samsung's very own GS III whose rendered images were better than the actual product...and i mean the looks only. Teeny weeny sarcasm implied...:D

63. Aeires (unregistered) posted on 12 Sep 2012, 13:17 6

Exactly the same for the most part. Kinda surprised by that actually, the leaks were astronomical compared to the previous models. Steve has definitely left the building.

welcome to 2010

7. luckysrinu posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:23 23 1

Its 2012 and there is no live coverage for there biggest event..lol..apple is going back to 90's .

4. medalaster01 posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:22 5 1

so it is finaly hear

5. Nathan_ingx posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:23 7

All the best Appyfans...!! May the 5th be better than the last...though it still looks similar.

30. haseebzahid posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:36 21 1

i think Iphone 4S will sue iphone 5 since it copied the older one :P

37. hobble posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:42

Heracy!

54. haseebzahid posted on 12 Sep 2012, 13:01

lol it will be named Ancestral plagiarism patent WAR

6. gallitoking posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:23 5 34

my next phone.. ..

25. SuperAndroidEvo posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:35 8 1

Well I hope you enjoy your same old same old. I think the iPhone 5 looks very very vanilla. Nothing new here.

87. gallitoking posted on 12 Sep 2012, 13:48 1 8

when the product is good.. sometimes you need no big changes just a few tweak... and that's what I got.. se Apple knows what to give its customers and we customer knows what to expect.. they are happy and so are we.. I am

89. Savage posted on 12 Sep 2012, 13:56 2

But Gallito, you'd have to buy entire new hardware for the new iPhone. And its not like iPhone 5 has an exclusive feature which the iOS 6 update in iPhone 4S will bring. Why bother spending your money on a device which has grown 0.5"?

102. gallitoking posted on 12 Sep 2012, 14:28 7

well the adapter look nice and is a nice addition to a great phone.. nobody that I know looks for a phone that is compatible to your car charger or wall charger is usually the other way around.. for me is not the same phone.. Is a new and improved iphone.. if you can sell the old iphone and have money to pay for the new one.. why wouldn't you buy it

135. jmoita2 posted on 14 Sep 2012, 10:52

Because it's built by slaves!!!!

28. luxzy801 posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:36 5

Hey Gallitoking;
Since you are a die hard Apple fanboy, i got a question for you.
Are you at all dissapointed that its the same thing except extended to fit a bigger screen or do you think it is the next big thing for all iPhone users and fanboys.
Just a question bro.

35. haseebzahid posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:42 3

lol even on wp8/nokia articles i didnot saw that much rampaging comments

88. gallitoking posted on 12 Sep 2012, 13:51 4

no i am not.. I am actually getting the iphone5.. and will post a picture of it in my avatar

73. PotDragon posted on 12 Sep 2012, 13:25

Don't blame you. This seems to be a handset worth upgrading to if you have cash invested in the apple ecosystem.

Kudos to apple. A thin, light, non glass, LTE handset; fixes most of what blows about the 4s. Both colors at once and clear release dates too.

Kinda funny that all the pics have the demenstrator using both hands though. Pretty silly to keep trying to convince us it is a one handed device while using both hands. Shrug.

Still...looks like a winner.

8. zuckerboy posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:24

disappointed ... but very thin it is good btw

9. teerex42 posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:24 1

All the best Appyfans...!! May the 5th be better than the last...though it still looks similar.

13. champ_vl posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:27 6

I can't wait to spend an irrational load of money for an extra 0.5" display and a few grams shed off !!!!!!! *SARCASM*

14. medalaster01 posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:29 5

wow games now look spectacular!!

15. jmoita2 posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:30 5

Lol!!! What a letdown!!!

16. refreak posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:30 7

iphone 5 design = iphone 4s + .5 inch screen

96. structureman116 posted on 12 Sep 2012, 14:12 2

They should have named it the 4s+

114. -box- posted on 12 Sep 2012, 14:57 3

133. Nathan_ingx posted on 14 Sep 2012, 05:14

22. Awaragardiyan posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:34 3

Announcing iphone in 2007 , SJ said that the iphone is 5 years ahead of competition. And after 5 years , iphone is still the same.

23. haseebzahid posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:34

guess i know the truth behind the awsome light weight cuz their is nothing special in it standard Apple phone

29. KingKurogiii posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:36

they're finally on track but this should've been done last year and this year should've brought a revamp of iOS to hit the ceiling with JB and WP8.

31. sudbury78 posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:37 1 5

all the fandroids commence on the post while apple sells records. love it.

32. dunndeal33 posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:37 1

33. Awaragardiyan posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:37 13

Apple has done what others are unable to. They managed to sell the same thing thing for 5 years. ' Only APPLE can do that. '

Revolutionary!

97. networkdood posted on 12 Sep 2012, 14:13 3

And people...esp. in the states are dumb enough to fall for it.

101. Fallout09 posted on 12 Sep 2012, 14:27

No, Blackberry did it for years too. However... look where they are now.
