iPhone 5 is the same old iPhone with larger body and screen. No new innovation like Galaxy S3 with Smart Stay is awesome.

It's a copy of GooPhone :D

Oooooook

32. darkkjedii posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:44

Som if it's got a larger body and screen then it's not the same phone dude. Plus all we've seen so far r mockups, we'll all b eating our words if it comes and looks nothing like these mockups. Who knows that 5 we see on the invite mite mean screen size. I doubt it though

apple does not leak its design until the the Big day comes so pls save opinion next week ...you might be surprise trashing your so cold galaxhit 3 and drooling over ip5

Please list all the huge innovation from the GS2 to the GS3 models.

84. thelegendofmari posted on 06 Sep 2012, 02:56

Such comments are so ignorant in my opinion. How can you say no innovation? Do you amazingly have an unreleased device in your hands because then I would retract my comment immediately?! It's just so stupid to make such comment and completely judge a device before it is even launched.

86. Bluesky02 posted on 06 Sep 2012, 03:16 1

Agree, those who are excited about iPhone or iPad, are probably excited for nothing as it will only have some few minor changes and features. The rest will remain same.

Phonearena your excited about anything with the apple logo on it. Let me paint it on the side of a barn look that barn has an apple logo on it bet your excited..

6. Brewski posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:05 6 6

Exactly. Moto and Nokia have unvieled a bunch of new stuff, all this Apple crap can wait a day. Let everyone else have some spotlight.

10. som posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:08 3 4

Apple will sue you for a billion dollars for copycat it logo.

41. Astreo posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:56

News is news regardless of what company it is. they have shown everything today including the lumia and motorola phones.

7. andro. posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:05 1 3

There certainly are alot extremely similar articles today with stats about random surveyed ifans looking forward to the 'new' iphone.

25. darkkjedii posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:36 1

What do u expect on 9-12-12 bro

30. andro. posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:40

Been taking to supplies for cases accessories recently,while they aren't allowed show us the new design the general word is to pretty much expect the iphone 4s again with just with the stretch up screen.
There's been enough leaks recently to add weight to that

36. darkkjedii posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:49

U don't think apple might come outta the blue with something totally different? It seems like they got something up their sleeve by not reacting n the least bit to these leaks. Remember in 2010 they went nuts when gizmodo got the iPhone 4 prototype? That was Steve jobs then though.

60. tedkord posted on 05 Sep 2012, 19:36 1

Steve Jobs? Nuts? Whodathunk?

66. bitong_8615 posted on 05 Sep 2012, 19:59 1

and what about you? a nobody who owns cheap android phone? atleast the guy made a diff.

89. darkkjedii posted on 06 Sep 2012, 07:12 1

Wow a thumb down jus for asking a fellow techie what he expects. Lol I guess

8. Atrixboyyy posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:06 4 4

"More customers disappointed over minor advancements added to the iPhone 4s squared" should be the title.

9. Jay_F posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:07 1 1

That's because there's nothing exciting about an iPad mini. I really can't imagine much of a market for the mini but we'll see.

18. Peter27 posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:26 4 1

New design, headphone jack on the other side of the device. New smaller battery. New nano Sim. Mini connector.

Don't worry, they will make it sound 100x better than me in their advert and the sales will brake record again. Only because people are dumb.

13. rusticguy posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:15

Pied Piper Of Hamlin will make appearance on 12th September ... yet again after almost a year :)

15. Peter27 posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:21 2 1

I am going to spend few hundred pounds/dollars to have a new features like phone jack on the other side of the phone. Great.

16. Quezdagreat posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:22 5 3

I swear these s3 fans spend a lot of time on this website bashing iPhones instead of trying to enjoy that maxi pad Looking phone

31. Atrixboyyy posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:43 2

most people are Android fans just cause they use the S3 to compare means nothing id bash apple only cause they deserve it. you honestly think apple has done anything new? besides suing over meaningless patents for shapes.

50. Quezdagreat posted on 05 Sep 2012, 19:12

I never said it, I never seen apple advertise anything about innovative.

Open your eyes man, Samsung is know for mimicking other companys.

As far as the patents go, that's business. You have to know the rules before you get into the game

73. Atrixboyyy posted on 05 Sep 2012, 20:59

"I swear these s3 fans spend a lot of time on this website bashing iPhones" only one person admited to owning the s3 and he commented back. i dont know how you got "samsung didnt copy" from what i said. they did somewhat..

for the patent issue ill leave it be we all know that it was pointless

20. Peter27 posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:30 4 2

Don't worry. I am "bashing" iPhone while enjoying my "maxi pad looking" phone.
It makes it that much sweeter.

21. e.wvu (unregistered) posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:30 2

Of course more are excited for the iPhone than the mini iPad when the mini iPad doesn't even exist.

22. iDroidx650 posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:31 3 2

I can not wait for the 12th. I've been waiting for this since September 2011 when the 4S was announced. Now we get to see what Apple has been working on. Widescreen display, 4G LTE, improved camera sensor, CPU bump, and running iOS 6.0 with most likely an exclusive feature.

33. Atrixboyyy posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:45 2

dont hold your breath .

26. ivanko34 posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:36 2 2

The amount of Apple products sold is a measure of human stupidity

45. darkkjedii posted on 05 Sep 2012, 19:04

Y is that

28. rusticguy posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:38 2 1

Heck they are adding "Apple Maps" ... Which is going to revolutionise everything in telecom/mobile industry and this is the most important INNOVATION which no one is talking about... that's something very new that is coming in next iPhone ... obviously it will have everything, lifted/Copied/stolen from other maps around and then given a new "Dress" in order to get a "Trade Dress" patent for them to start dreaming of suing other MAPS under "Trade Dress" violation because for next one year after blaunch they are clueles of what to do next ... except for adding a "S" to the name mext year ;)

35. Atrixboyyy posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:48

adding the s makes it SUPER! lol

48. rusticguy posted on 05 Sep 2012, 19:12

S (for Steve)
T (for Tim)

So you never know they could add a T instead :D

72. Quezdagreat posted on 05 Sep 2012, 20:45 1

Do you mean like s-voice, s-cloud, s-pen?

92. Atrixboyyy posted on 07 Sep 2012, 04:22

As in (S)amsung?

34. gwuhua1984 posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:47 1

"The PriceGrabber survey found that 21% of the respondents will actually reach into their pocket and purchase the next iteration of the Apple iPhone."

34% of user owning other phones jumping ship to iPhone...

Compared to TechBargain's survey... all really big differences...

I really hope people stop using survey to support their arguments.

43. Peter27 posted on 05 Sep 2012, 18:58 3

I like how iFans are contradicting them selves. On one side they say the great design does not need change. On other they say this is fake,bla bla, apple will reveal the new design during conference and blow us away.
iFans please make up your mind.

46. darkkjedii posted on 05 Sep 2012, 19:06 1

A great design doesn't need to change, but the styling can. Think porsche 911 corvette Bentley rolls. The basic design is still the same but restyled dude.

52. Peter27 posted on 05 Sep 2012, 19:21 1

And that is the reason why Porsche becoming boring. Look at Ferrari. So many cars, so many designs, so many choices.
You stick with your 7 porches that looks all the same. I prefer 7 different Ferraris, each for one day in a week.

61. Peter27 posted on 05 Sep 2012, 19:36 1

Its all about innovation dude. In Ferrari you see it. It is modern that is why you are the Top cat. You know you have the latest and fastest model. There is nothing better out there. Porsche is like Ford mustang, legendary car that makes you look cool but you are not best.
When it comes to phone I am buying it to have the best phone, not to look cool like iFans do.
Therefore Samsung/Ferrari for me and not iPhone/Porsche.

55. InspectorGadget80 posted on 05 Sep 2012, 19:31 1

it's the same POS since iPhone 4 just bigger screen different charging dock.

49. darkkjedii posted on 05 Sep 2012, 19:12 2

Please folks lets have fun supporting our favorite platforms. Android fans blast iOS all u want, iOS fans blast android all u want but please leave the stupid racism in the trash where it belongs. Tech site, or not there's no place for that. If u don't know y I put this go to page one of the comments for this article and read for yourself.

53. InspectorGadget80 posted on 05 Sep 2012, 19:25 1

Motorola just announce THE RAZR HD HUGE FCKING BATTERY. and who the FCK cares BOUT APPLE and the iPhone

62. Peter27 posted on 05 Sep 2012, 19:45 1 1

It is not the iPhone that irritates me. But dumbass people living in this world. And as you can see there is majority of them.
Apple just know how to use people's stupidity towards their profit. And they are great at it. Actually the best at it. Great for them. But it irritates me. Same as when I see that pornstar earns 1000x more than doctors. There are phone companies that trying to do difference in the world, but the most successful is the one who found bug in the system.

67. bitong_8615 posted on 05 Sep 2012, 20:07

i know there are a lot of iPhone haters here but please lets just this 12 until then you can say whatever you want.

68. bitong_8615 posted on 05 Sep 2012, 20:09

no racism please! as if u dont own "made in china" underwear.

Droid Razr Maxx HD is on my christmas list iphone 5 is gonna be garbage

75. denmcdon posted on 05 Sep 2012, 21:11

I'm finding it hard to believe that on the 12th apple is going to unveil an iPhone 5 or whatEver there going to call it and it's going to be what we are all seeing in leaked photos apple I think is up to something remember Steve jobs worked on this project closely until the end I find it hard to believe its this?

85. pikapowerize (banned) posted on 06 Sep 2012, 03:06

i dont really get why people need fast processor on a close source OS... it is controlled by its developer so whaever processor speed they will throw there will be ok..

its not android that its not controlled by google coz its free but throw updates and everything.. it needs the latest of the latest hardware to perform better and better...
