i'll answer that with another question: what is so great about this phone that it deserved to have an event that was hyped for months, shrouded in pseudo-secrecy, and banned from having live press video streamed from it? based on the behavior and comments of Apple and others, this is supposed to be revolutionary or amazing or whatever overblown adjective you want to use (just like all their other products), and ours is simply a response to that, not to more reasonable folks like you who just like that it finally has a screen size and data transfer rate comparable to a year old Android phone.

That was the point I was trying to make.....I think.


I also think it would be great if my company had as loyal employees as Landers...

Does anyone have recommendations for trading in my iPhone 4? Like, where is the best place to do it to either get cash or put it toward the new phone?

seriously? at this point the best place is probably apple... Gazzel and the like are now flooded with phones so thier offers are probably a fraction of what apple will buy them back at. Remember rate the quality as really good and let them say otherwise...

Guys, could we please not turn this into an Apple vs the world debate? Does every Apple thread really have to devolve into this? The OP wants an iphone 5. I assume that he is aware of Android, but wants an iphone. OP, if you haven't, then check out the Galaxy S3. There, now can we move on past the brand warfare, and just discuss the deals?

That would be interesting...haven't heard about it.

I was expecting a "one more thing.." announcement with the iPad Mini from them today.

I have had no interest in the new iPhone 5...already knew what it was going to look like a weeks...maybe a month or so ago. Was disappointing..I expected more, but I guess that BBC article was right that it's like a Camry now...safe. reliable. boring.

New iPod Nanos are different though, but it seems very "Kirfish" to me. The circle app icons totally don''t seem like something Apple would do, so I found it very odd.
No way, they wouldn't release the iPhone and the iPad at the same time. One would take thunder away from the other. It's too big of a release, so it warrants its own event. I could see three events happening going forward: an iPad event, an iPhone/iPod event, and a Mac event. Speaking of iPod Nanos, they look very similar to the Nokia Lumia devices, WTF Apple?

I agree about the iPhone 5 - this is just catch up with the other (Android and to some extent WP) devices. It's a good upgrade for Apple, but still behind competition imo. Compared to the other iPhone releases, this is by far one of their weakest!

I wasn't impress w/ the iPhone 5... I currently using the iPhone 4s... and I think i'm pretty much done with the iphone... no innovation or revolutionary product anymore imo. I'm still waiting for the iPad "mini"... and was hoping to hear something about it...

I'm kinda leaning towards the nokia 920 or the SGIII. I don't like android that much... as for window phone 8... i wanna to give them a try.

there are a lot of new features if you skip one or two models….


apple is taking a lot of people who upgrade every new release but if you have an older phone and you wait to upgrade then you do get a nice set of features….
