- This just too exciting. An iphone 4s with some minor improvements. ZZZZzzzzzCygnusZero4
- You don't know that.monospaced
- This does indicate that the new model will be a 5 thoughmonospaced
- I do know it. Every model is the same as the previous with minor improvements.CygnusZero4
- wake me up when iphone 9 comes out.CygnusZero4
- That's how updates work, dude. Good product + upgrades = new model. LOLmonospaced
- Cygnus wants the new iPhone to stroke his cack for him. The thing isn't even out yet and you're already whining about it...CanHasQBN
- it.CanHasQBN
- Id like it to do some different things thank you. Some big changes are worth it, tweaks are not.CygnusZero4
- I don't think this will be a tweak. It's not an iPhone 4SS... it's an iPhone 5. Expect noticable changes.CanHasQBN

- iPhones usually come out 12 months after the previous release. Once it took about 18 months.ernexbcn
- iPhone 4 to 4S took 15 months.ernexbcn
- I exaggerated with the 18.ernexbcn
- this sounds a little dirty, "coming faster and faster" "going to be covered in..."whhipp

- you do'nt have to buy a new one, dudemonospaced
- I don't, you are right. That was never the point though :)Miguex
- Every 4 months? Behave. It's never been quicker than 12 months. And look at Nokia etc. Every 5 minutes!Raniator

the big processor is a joke. I still have a 3GS and EVERY apps runs perfectly... nothing is slow or chunky... Apps developpers are not using the full potential of the processor in the iPhone 3GS yet... so having a A5 chip is worthless. It's like having a Lamborghini but always driving in the speed limit 30Km/h streets.
- They say Siri needs the A5 for speech processing, there are games too that can use it, just sayin'ernexbcn
- They also use it for video stabilization, etc.ernexbcn
- Cool self reassurance post bro. Trying to justify why it's not worth buying, when you know it is.CygnusZero4
- Apparently the processor speed allows downloads to happen faster while your phone is multitasking, for examplemonospaced
- And the difference between the speed of the 3GS and the 4 is easy to see.monospaced
- Install iOS5 and then come back... The 3G used to feel smooth.animatedgif
- My 3GS runs like pure shitfyoucher1
- Yeah I guess the iOS5 will start to kill my 3GSbenfal99

Here's a crazy idea - what about if Apple were to make a computer ... that played video games?
I know I know, a bit ambitious. Perhaps sometime in the next 25 years.
- hurr derpernexbcn
- Pippin?detritus
- here's a crazy idea - stop playing video games, you overgrown 12 year old.CanHasQBN
- Why?
I mean, why stop? Why give up the things you like because someone else deems it unsuitable for adult life?Peter - unsuitable for adult life?
Seems extremely narrow to me, that attitude. Narrow and boring.Peter - Ha ha. Kinda taking it a bit personally.calculator
- I don't even play games.
Just a fan of encouraging people to self reflect :)Peter

The loose-fitting, rubber covers ruin the elegance of the phone, bulk out the size, and they look like shit.
The well-made ones cost far too much, and anyway are still COVERS for an otherwise beautiful and fantastically functioning object.
Forget the resolution of the camera, forget the processor and retina crap, and concentrate on making the case and screen more durable and that is a worthwhile brief imo.
If the iphone 5 has that, it will be a massive win for Apple and negate the need for this shit....
- if you take care of your phone you dont need a case and it will stay in good condition for a long time.benfal99
- Meh. It's too slippery without a case. Haven't dropped an iPhone with case but without, well...ETM
- benfall99 has found a secret way to avoid the unexpected. If you share how to do this, you can be as rich as bill gatesMiguex
- With the 3GS yes, but the 4S has full glass front and back. No way that will survive 2 years in your pocketbiusness
- maybe iam exceptional at taking care of my stuffbenfal99
- lolbiusness
- mine has survived 2 years without a case. dropped it a few times to boot.lambsy

- 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

has apple ever bought out another company? i wonder why they didnt acquire motorola before google.
- NEXT and Pixar? Though, Jobs was manning them before the merger...identity
- They bought Siri.Nathan_Adams
- Lala and ARM (for the iPad and iPhone chip technology)Amicus
- They've bought tons of companies. Some just aren't as newsworthy as NeXT.CyBrainX
- Pixar is not part of Apple at all.ernexbcn
- They also bought PA Semi, semiconductor designers, specifically ARM relatedernexbcn

"UBS Investment Research cut its price target on Apple stock to $700 from $780 on lower expected iPhone and iPad shipments for the March quarter."
China's #1 carrier chose a Windows phone as their flagship model.
- so they think the stock will go up 40% instead of 45%... what a nightmare for Applemonospaced
- They are all lower expectations as the stock slides. At 509, it isn't look too goodformed
- (basically a cya for analysts that predicted it'd keep going straight up)formed
- personally, I think they need a "real new" product to keep the company growingformed
- Fuck the expectations on Apple are extreme.inteliboy

Can anyone with a 5 confirm this?
- I can confirm that this happens with just about every camera/lens, especially for phones, including every iPhonemonospaced
- Ive never seen purple with my 4. I was going to upgrade but im not sure.CygnusZero4
- The 4S pic looks better than the Nikon...RW

They should allow us to create folders that require a password to access the apps inside. I'd like to hide my text and photo apps.
- < & porndbloc
- Well yeah, that's what I mean. My text and photo apps are full of lude material.CanHasQBN
- just turn on a password protectionmonospaced
- I have password to access the phone, but sometime people want to use my phone (to play a game or whatever), and I can't seeCanHasQBN
- can't see what exactly they are looking at.CanHasQBN

my 3GS is soooo slow. I want the iPhone NOW!!!
all my money is there waiting for you, Apple!- get a 4S. First gen iphone 5 will probably be buggy anyway...ADP
- i love my 4s!cruddlebub
- yup the S models are always a better choice. 3GS to 4S. Will only change to the 5S.ESKEMA
- mew.. too close to iPhone5. I want the last toy this time.benfal99
- still 4 months away..ESKEMA

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
- -talk and make things up.BozMan

what does the "S" stand for?
i always thought the "3" or "4" had to do with the network rather than a version number or whatever
- Speed.monospaced
- The 3 had to do with the network. 4 because it was the 4th model. Sort of inconsistent but okmonospaced
- Sport. lol.akrok

- S is for "psyche!"

" Unlike the crowds that the iPhone 5 debut drew in many cities around the world since September, just one person was waiting at the Apple store in Shanghai's financial district when its doors opened at 9 a.m. on Friday.
"Some of our Chinese sources do not expect the iPhone 5 to do as well as the iPhone 4S," UBS analyst Steven Milunovich wrote in a note to clients."
Bye bye Apple! Ha. If China don't love you, you're toast.
- that's because they're selling most of them through the carrier stores, to avoid the riots that broke out last timemonospaced
- they're actually selling really well, if you bother to look at numbers instead of lines at a storemonospaced
- They have literally sold 1/2 million there already, 300,000+ in pre-ordersmonospaced
- yeah maybe the chinese don't have that idiot consumer culture, trampling each other to buy shit first._niko
