J3FF3R00 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19512_7-20073431-233/iphone-5-rumor-roundup/ http://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-iphone-5-likely-coming-soon-how-much-will-it-cost-20120907,0,6527147.story I need a new phone, badly. My iphone 3GS is on it's last legs. They say this one is about the same width, a bit thinner and a bit longer. I was hoping it would be curved on the back like the 3gs. We'll see, I guess. Go China!

BCM Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 i think my 4S is up for renewal in about 12 months...will look into a 5, (or possibly even a 5S by then) nearer the time... all the iphones i've had are still going strong though - my old 3G is still being used daily by my mate and my old 4 is used by my GF - every time i get an upgrade i just bump my old phone down a level...pretty good deal for everyone else lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J3FF3R00 Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Yeah. Good call. I should give my wife my old iPhone. However fucked up it is, it's still a better phone than her Samsung Vibrant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 plus it's launching with ios6. so the 6th iPhone with ios6 is the iPhone 5. ok. they should just call it the iPhone like the MacBooks and iMacs, etc. in addition to this one being larger, they moved the headphone jack to the bottom which is strange. they are also changing the dock connection. all new cables, yay!

YELLOW Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I don't really care about the name but I'm pretty excited for this cause I'm due for an upgrade. Gonna be nice to sell my iPhone 4 on Craigslist for more than the new one costs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhonny Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 My 4 is up for renewal, in fact I've just switched to a cheap pay-monthly deal on it. Probably won't rush in for a 5, but will wait until after christmas. Been really happy with my 4 and I reckon the 5 won't be cheap and so the 4 should hold on to it's re-sale value.

Alcofribas Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 plus it's launching with ios6. so the 6th iPhone with ios6 is the iPhone 5. ok. they should just call it the iPhone like the MacBooks and iMacs, etc. in addition to this one being larger, they moved the headphone jack to the bottom which is strange. they are also changing the dock connection. all new cables, yay! Yeah, right? I personally don't like the idea of the headphone jack on the bottom, but I can get used to it. when i put my phone in my pocket it goes in upside down. when i get a call i just reach in and grab it and put it to my ear. having the headphone jack at the bottom would make this way more comfortable, bc as it stands I either have my phone upside down in my pocket which bunches up the headphones all weird since this way the jack is at the bottom or I have my phone right side up which makes answering calls awkward. in fact, having the headphone jack at the bottom is something i have always wanted, which makes you guys pieces of shit for thinking otherwise.

"my 3GS is also on its last legs " So peoples old iPhones are dying on them and now they want another iPhone? o.O Doesn't that make yall question the reliability of the phones you are buying? to clarify, my phone is 3.5 years old. every other phone i've ever had was for 1 year. so yea, this is the best phone i've ever had.

jhonny Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Agree about the headphone jack being at the bottom. That's a given IMO. Also my 4 has definitely been really rock solid (had it for over 2 years) so I think the build quality has been good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azatoth Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I never understood the need to get a new phone every 12-18 month. What are you doing to your phones to be "on their last legs" after just 3 years. I've had 5 phones since I got my first in 97, the best one ever being the Nokia 6110.

In the last 10-15 years the development of mobile/smart phones has been ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azatoth Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I am content with being able to call and text. Ten years ago you didn't even think about needing to go to the internet on a drop of a hat, but now all of a sudden you can't live without it.
