"The New iPhone"
- monospaced0
I hope Apple names it something other than iPhone 5 just to make everyone calling it that look stupid.

By the time of the next model release, it'd be appropriate to finally omit the words "slide to unlock" from the sleep screen.

I will try to stick to my 3GS until my contract end november 2012, I guess the iPhone5 will see the light at the exact same time.

- This design is classic! I don't want to upgrade.nb
- Was it called the 2G?monospaced
- It was never called 2G by Apple, this is simply the "iPhone"ernexbcn
- Right. But it uses EDGE (2G) for data. Many others refer to it as 2G.nb
- I've got the first gen version too. Still working great!formed
- Yeah... but the phone doesn't support iOS4. Major bummer.nb

I'm still rocking the old 3G, so regardless of whether this was the 5 or 4S makes no real difference to me.
From what I can see, the 4S looks like a great phone so will be picking one up before xmas I'd imagine.

Just so we're all clear on this then. The rule is, upgrade to 4s from:
3g – Hell yes
3gs – Yes
4 – No––––––––––––––––– END OF THREAD –––––––––––––––––

Hardly a brand new OS, but the antenna fix should be stressed as that is a big deal.
- ios5 is right around the corner...not a new os?manonthestreet

The only complaint I have ever heard about the iphone 4 was the antennae placement and dropped calls.
They fixed it, added a faster processor, upgraded the camera, and soon will give you a brand new OS....

Wait wait wait... I just had a thought that could have saved apple from people freaking. Instead of changing all the internals they should have left it the same as the iphone 4 and simply just changed the exterior and called it iphone 5. I'm almost positive everyone would have been happier with that. Fuck better battery life and fuck dual core processing with 1 gig of ram! I want a redesign!

Not need to upgrade, but people who haven't had an iPhone before may be interested in this "new" model.

bummed...my 3GS is on it's last leg and dying a slow death. i was holding out for the iPhone 5 before i upgraded. i can't imagine using this thing for another 6 months, but then again the thought of shelling out a few hundred bucks only to be left in the dust a few months later when the 5 comes out.
damn you apple!

The biggest story here that no one has commented on is the fact that this was the first presentation without steve jobs.
Everyone is hyped up for the release of iphone 5, they release a significant hardware upgrade but not the iphone 5, they release to a new carrier that is staking it's business life on having the iphone...
Everyone is talking about the product and not about if the company leadership can carry on. Jobs was as significant a part of all of the product unveilings as the products themselves.
Not one comment/complaint about the new guy....
I would say that makes this a spectacular release....
bravo apple computer.

Redesigning for the point of redesigning would be stupid.
If it aint broke don't fix it. The iPhone 4 design is great for now.
