Last time their "livestreaming" was just a bunch of Ustream guys in their studio, discussing the event live, but we'll see what they'll do this time.

12. intos posted on 12 Sep 2012, 11:14 2

17. TediT posted on 12 Sep 2012, 11:17 1

someone should be really stupid to buy this phone if it looks the same as the 4S...

13. copales posted on 12 Sep 2012, 11:14

14. techgeek90 posted on 12 Sep 2012, 11:14

for the apple users who are going to be disappointed:http://youtu.be/FVgNT2WmNXo
android users are welcome to have a smile :P

28. dsg_cobra posted on 12 Sep 2012, 11:51

So is phonearena a place for everybody to let their inner 12 year old selfs out, and bash on anything other than what they have? So if you drive a chevy and the guy next to you drives a ford are you gonna start talking trash about how their truck is crap? No, why is a phone any different? Cool good for you if you love the inovative android's that take chances and launch stuff prematurely and like to use their consumers as beta testers. I have a droid charge btw. And good for you if you want a iphone that is very cautious and only releases a product after it has been designed, tested, took back down worked on tested again, and again, till perfection before release. And when you have it, it runs flawlessly as expected after having to wait a year or so for it. ex LTE. (- Dont start android fan boys the antenna issue on the 4, that was a stupid mistake on their part. But we can compile a list for days on issues your Godly Android phones have had.)

Not an iPhone fan nor Android/WP but I am reallyyyyyyy curious about the new iPhone :D Another disappointment like the 4S or maybe this time something acceptable?

19. VebbX posted on 12 Sep 2012, 11:17 2 1

I am a fan of watching releases too, but I have never bought a iPhone and never will, but what I will buy is the new Nokia 920 or LG Optimus G.

22. kirholstov posted on 12 Sep 2012, 11:20

Don't buy lg

23. TediT posted on 12 Sep 2012, 11:20

LG Optimus G looks great... Quadcore Snapdragon S4... My Galaxy S3 looks old now :(

20. intos posted on 12 Sep 2012, 11:19

im afraid that we wait the long 4s ...

21. abdane posted on 12 Sep 2012, 11:20

Name ? The New iPhone 4S
Design ? Same with 1 less line on the side.
Screen ? Still 3.5"

Battery ? Maxed Up From 1420/1430 to 1460 !!! an extra 30 minutes talk time !
Screen ? What else beside the beautifull Retina Display ?
RAM ? 832 MB

42. Commentator posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:26

60. Ric1511 posted on 12 Sep 2012, 13:18

Same here...but I'm still waiting to see HTC's phablet. .

50. cheeseaddict posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:49 1

yawn...

51. kabukijoe posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:53 1

4" screen... 4G... we've had these things on phones for what, 2 years now? It's not groundbreaking just because Apple finally decided to catch up with the times.

BTW, HTC already came out with devices that can capture a picture from video, and you can take panorama pictures with pretty much every Android phone.

Pretty hypocritical of Apple to go "thermonuclear" on every tech company for being "copy-cats" when pretty much everything annouced thus far is nothing new... I guess they really were just trying to eliminate competition because they are running out of ideas.

52. RapidCat posted on 12 Sep 2012, 12:55

no nfc support

55. kabukijoe posted on 12 Sep 2012, 13:05

They'll add that to it next year so they can re-release this exact same phone as iPhone 5S

56. RapidCat posted on 12 Sep 2012, 13:10

hahaha, re invented nfc maybe

53. structureman116 posted on 12 Sep 2012, 13:03

Unimpressive.

54. hosker (unregistered) posted on 12 Sep 2012, 13:04

Hey ray how about you hate less, if you didnt feel like doing the live blog you shouldnt have done it and let some1 else more proffessional do the job. Tell us what their saying and showing and less of your opinion...write your own article later about how you dont like the iphone 5. There you can give your opinion about who uses siri, how they already talk about ios before bla bla.

I want to know what their showing and saying.its iphone day not yours.is like any reporter giving their opinions on a news, thats a fail, you should always remain neutral to avoid people to dislike you.

57. 23nikki1 posted on 12 Sep 2012, 13:12
