Where is the iPhone 5?
Unfortunately, for everything the iPhone 4S is, there are several things it is not. The general consensus seems to be that Apple may have dropped the ball by not bringing an iPhone 5 to market this year. As the 4S was making its debut, most technology buffs voiced their displeasure with a new smartphone that looks no different than the one we've all had for a year.

it has a talking robot that does shit for you and people are sad because it doesn't look different enough that their current one to impress their friends

Do people really expect Apple to release a new re-designed phone every year? Seems so.
- IMO, this is the secret to their success. Or at least part of it.randommail

Apple had the same laptop design for many years and kept changing just the internals, I don't see a problem with them doing the same with the iPhone for a while.
I own an iPhone 4 so I knew I wasn't getting this new one, but I see no problem of buying an iPhone 5 that looks like the 4 but brings faster processing, better graphics, better camera, that new personal assistant etc. etc.
- But their laptops always had at least the largest screens. They're giving Android a huge advantage.CyBrainX

FUCK ... I thought it was the iPhone 45 coming out.

Personally, I was expecting something special, otherwise I would have just bought a 4 over a year ago.
The difference is that there is so much hype going on for so long that they needed something special. I am sure it is a great phone, and I love my first gen iPhone (I get my money's worth!), but my patience has not paid off (again).
When's those Nokia Windows phones coming out?? Prettier graphics will do just fine now.

So the android gallaxy 2 is still better... hmmm...

I'm feeling smug as i had a few friends that were waiting for a 5 so that they would have something newer and better looking.. like when i got a 4 and they still all had 3's.
ahhh smugness.

Wow, this thread brought out the retards.
It has nothing to do with how it looks. It's like expecting a major release, and only getting a point release. You know the 5 is going to be a huge release. Just like the 4 was to the 3GS.
I'm not saying I don't think the new hardware is bad ass. I'm still going to upgrade. I was just hoping for the caliber of a major release. Especially after not upgrading to the 4 about a year ago (hoping to see the 5).
But anything is going to be better than the piece of shit 3G running iOS 3.1.3 that I'm using now. :)

it's technology! HELL! IT'S SCIENCE! but 100% of all people will never be happy with what is put in front of them, regardless.
I currently own an iPhone 4, and I will stick with it. The thing is solid and has proved it's worth 100x over. And if I owned an Android phone, I would be saying the same thing. People seem to forget that the smartphone has brought us so much that we never EVER had until a few years ago. It's insane.
In reality, the UI continues to get better as well as the hardware. Package that up into whatever clandestine shit-box you want and it will be golden. You can now twitter, find a place to eat, take notes, play games, chat with friends, email, like something on Facebook, take a photo/video, listen to a billion radio stations, create presentations, edit videos, create beats, get directions to the nearest doctor, find recipes, update blogs/sites etc. etc. etc.
Stop whining. The mother fucking future is here, and it sits in your fucking pocket. Love it now...before we are all overtaken by our super-robot phones of the future.

What i'm curious about is how the entire world was talking about an iphone 5 when presumably a lot of people at Apple knew for a very long time that there was going to be no such thing today.
OR was it a last minute internal decision to call it a 4S?
OR did Apple purposely let us think there was going to be a 5.
thoughts?
I am actually disappointed, but only because i was looking forward to a nice bit of product design
- Why didnt they start at iphone 1, thats what I want to know!slappy
- I never thought it would be the 5. I figured the 4G for the network, but it's WAAAAY to soon to replace the 4 design.monospaced
- Agree with mono. Not for anything you are disappointed based on rumor sites and fan boys speculations.BozMan
- Also apple never said anything about an iphone 5. Lastly why should they deny every single claim or speculation? People like to talk and make things up.BozMan

Personally I want some ripped muscle X to impress. Fuck this phone business.

I'm hoping that ios5 has sorted out some of that absolute rubbish crap in their interface. But probably not- they've probably just made it more "user friendly" ie less customisable.
