It will be interesting to see how they market it to the public. They marketed the heck out of Siri using the movie stars etc. Not sure how to market a bigger screen.
A bit harsh for a device that I can pretty safely assume you've never seen (or used) in real life. The fact that it has what appears to be the first ARM Cortex A15 based SoC on the market is a big deal all by itself.iPhone 5= iCrap

I should have said: iphone 5= iLiketobeinthehipcrowdandhopethesalesofmyfollowerscarrymetilwecanbemoreforthgoing
Point 1-- No I have not used the iPhone 5. But I am very versed with the 4S. Not much change between the two even with what may be the first ARM set.
Point 2-- Innovation is not what Apple is best at. At one time they were but that is by far not the case any more. The quad core in the Note 2 is fairly impressive also. Correct?
Realistically the improvements were subpar for a device that should at least have NFC IMO. Apple is slowing falling off the pedestal it once stood on top of.

you couldn't pay me to own one.I'm not gonna lie it looks pretty good to me and i might pick it up(yes i know its blasphemy there's nothing wrong with my gnex just curioud about the iphone really), but its basically last year's android at a higher price. And i am disappointed that it didnt include NFC. I kinda wanted the iphone to have nfc so it could spark interest.
Or Cnet.I wasn't expecting anything really "revolutionary" because at this point in the hardware, Apple is playing catchup. Today they caught up, though some would nitpick the screen is small, but they did indeed catch up. The new chip they got is impressive, but nothing really special that makes the new iPhone stick out.
As underwhelming as the new iPhone is, I'm sure there are going to be a bunch of tech sites praising it as how revolutionary it is, remind me to stay away from Engadget for the next couple of days
hilarious At least now the folks that own the iPhone 4 can REALLY say they have 4G.You tube video
The fact that the specs aren't anything as Apple has "revolutionized" in the past, isn't a big whoop. Oh wait. its "Ultrafast" and has a 5th row of icons!!! I'll take my huge weather widget, and clock widget, and news feed widgets, and music widgets back home and play by myself.A bit harsh for a device that I can pretty safely assume you've never seen (or used) in real life.

This got me to laugh quite a bit
