Uh Oh...folks excited about Apple again! Hope we don't just get a larger screen with the exact same body....

I want something new and exciting...

I want something new and exciting...

Me to.
I read several times that this is it. This is the biggest anticipation for a mobile phone... ever!

"

First, it's the thinnest phone they've ever made, and the lightest too. 7.6mm thin, 18% thinner than the iPhone 4S. World's thinnest smartphone. Also weighs 112 grams, 20% lighter than 4S. Volumetrically, it's smaller as well."​

"

​

iPhone 5 has a Retina display of 326ppi, and it's stunning. Every iPhone to date has had a 3.5" screen, and the new one has a 4" screen and 1136x640 resolution."

(copying from the Live release all the time!) ​

This is a huge let-down!
I might go Samsung for my next phone.

"

44% more color saturation. Full sRGB color specification. Most accurate display in the industry."​

"

Apple A6. Compared to A5 is 2x faster at CPU, 2x faster at graphics."​

"​

Better Wi-Fi as well. 802.11 a/b/g/n, 802.11n is 2.4GHz and dual channel 5GHz, up to 150 Mbps."​

 

[HighestOfHigh]

Wow...is it me or does it look like the 4S...just taller!

[Tumbo]

DAMN!!! They have gone all in!

What a knockout by Apple!!! Game over, all other wannabies.. Game over! I'm getting mine ASAP!!​

 

[Tarek]

I think i'd go with Lumia 920 over this..

[Tumbo]

I'm seriously in love.

 

[HighestOfHigh]

It's not bad, but nothing about it makes me want to give up my 4S. I was hoping for a wow factor and that just didn't happen.

I think you have to be some kind of Iphone nerd to really appreciate the new phone. Its a nice design but I doubt its a superior product compare to Galaxy III.

Honestly, it is so hard for Apple to wow, even when the product is clearly wow-worthy. We have known what it would look like for a couple of months. Biggest surprise for me was A6 processor instead of A5x. Interestingly, quoted 2x faster and 2x faster graphics. A5x in iPad 3? 2x faster and 7-times faster graphics from the same base, A5.
