MacRumors are reporting that a number of sources have said that apple will be holding a media event on 12th September - Highly likely to be the iPhone 5 or "new iPhone"
Who's excited?

I've wet my pants.
-
Really excited but am trying to hold back as it could be a massive disappointment like last year.
-
Reality check: it's a phone.
:wink:
-
Already know what it looks liike. Not going to be very exciting really. Just like the iPhone 4 announcement in 2010. And here is the iPhone 4. "Yes. WE KNOW"

Its now getting a little silly with all the new releases of their stuff , especially in a "Recession" . An Iphone allows you to access your internet listen to music and to make phonecalls . Its quite a simple thing that needs little improvement. A Bigger capacity would be nice though .
-
brilliant,
im due to upgrade on 22nd of August so i'll wait till after this to see what the crack is
-
I have been due an upgrade since January but nothing on the 4s makes me want to upgrade
Depending on what's been added to the next gen phone I might not even upgrade again this year.
My iPhone 4 does everything I need it to do still holds charge All day and hasn't slown down like my 3G did
-
the s3 is daddy of phones at the moment... the i5 is just playing catch up :P
-
Come November I might have a look (Current contract expiry), as I don't pay for phones I am in no rush to buy one and see what the fuss is about, I only left Nokia 18 months ago after being a die-hard Nokia man for 15+ years :signLOL:
-
Going backwards....having the headphone socket on the bottom!!
Who the hell thought of that..... :fighting:
As for the rest of it....unless the battery life has vastly improved I see no reason to upgrade.....Apple really have to pull something spectacular out of the bag to convince people that they should stick with the iPhone over the top android based phones.
-
I havent even thought about upgrading to a 4S but will be upgrading to the 5 when it's released. Whilst android phones can seem to offer more, for someone like me with several macs, ipad, iphone, apple tv etc any other phone is simply not an option I would consider. At the end of the day its quite a personal choice how our phone fits in with our lifestyle.
For me being able to pick up any device at home and instantly have access to all my music, videos etc on my TV or any speakers in the house always brings a smile to my face. Others may not see that as anything other than a gimmick, again personal choice!
-
I have tried android phones/tablets and they are just not as slick to operate as IOS devices
I know they are more powerfull but they just haven't been able to compete with the way apple devices work
My son has been able to use my phone since he was 3
-
Totally agree with the above 2 comments - My Daughter uses both mine and my wife's iPhone's and she is 7 :signLOL:
The form of the Apples devices is why I choose them, they look good, feel good to use and stay fresh looking - The Android phones do not seem to be able to match this Form capability. IMO the S3 is far too large, I only hope the new iPhone isn't huge :laugh:
My only annoyance is that Apple are adding small bite size updates frequently, lots of the iOS6 updates will not be compatible with iPhone 4 only 4S and whatever comes next. Siri can run on iPhone 4 albeit illegally so why not do a legal version?

I agree the S3 is too big but IMO the iPhone needs a 4" screen at least. My S2 is 4.3" and I like the size, so 4" would be a minimum for me.

Will be sticking to my 4s until there is a 5s - by then any teething issues will have been rectified.
I'm hoping more for an updated Mac Mini Server!!!

My 4 suffers from a really bad wifi connection I put it down to the phone but have recently found out there is different revisions of the wifi boards on them and I've got the dud version but I'm too late to return it to apple as I have had it for 2 years now.
If I do get a 5 I will be making sure everything works as it should and complaining to apple straight away
-
Im undecided, I have an iphone4 and had it since the day it was released, apart from the home button not working every now and again it does everything i need it too and its just going to cost money to get the new phone as im on a nice cheap contract at the min. So unless its really special Ill be sticking woth the 4 or moving to android ! Thats the plan anyway

The same mate, I used to be a mod on Nokiausers.net and dailymobile.se but after the N8, I just didn't fancy anything else and with the android hype, I was missing out on Sky Go and numerous other stuff. So jumped ship to HTC Desire HD, then iPhone4, didn't like that, went to SG2 and now SG3.
Nokia and WP are just lightyears behind, and they have no dominance in the market place. Just substandard stuff getting chucked out every Qtr.
-
I need a larger capacity phone otherwise. I'd have stayed put. Since getting my smarpthone I do so many things on it that big capacity it now a necessity. Headphone Jack at the bottom is stupid. Really hope that is off the point. Larger screen is needed but not too big. I will be waiting a while before getting the phone as there are always teething problems with phones and apple isn't quite a bona fide phones manufacturer.
Oh yes and I'm mega excited! :grin: :grin:

YEP!!!! S3 is the daddy! i love mine

Just cause its the biggest phone that you can see from space, doesnt mean its the best. Sadly, it has a crap OS.
Oh wait, another Apple thread that gets filled with Phandroids. Could i have loaded the Macrumors forum by mistake?? :wink:

The HTC One X in my opinion, does everything right that the S3 does wrong. Okay, the S3 can shout about is its' 2100mAh battery, but most people charge every night anyway so no biggie :happy2:
I know what I'll be replacing my almost 2 years old Desire with, which has been faultless along the way..
-
Who cares? This is an Apple thread. Android fans need not read or try and show off their tabl.....i mean phones. :happy2:

Got peed off with waiting and am now awaiting the arrival of my Samsung S3 today. Gonna give it a try and see how I get on with it. If I knew more about what the new Iphone was going to be like or what features it would definitely have, I would definitely have waited. Not gonna hang around on rumours. Never liked the 3 or 3G, hence why I only changed over when they bought out the 4 and bought that a month after launch once I knew what it looked like and what it could do.
Who knows, may not like the Galaxy at all and sell it on and wait for the Iphone. Still got my 4 handy. :happy2:

S3 hardware is impressive. Screen on the One X is better (both are too big for me though), but its Android that is the problem for me. I just cant stand the way it works.

Not sure what you mean by that... this is my first android phone and it works almost identical to the iphone. same old stuff just very slightly different was of using... sometimes I think it just boils down to what you are used to :confused:
