Apple's iPhone 5?

**Gibbo89** · 26th July 2011, 20:36

So I read that there is talk of the Iphone 5 coming out in something like September of this year. Does anyone plan to get one?

What would you hope to see in the new Iphone when it is released?

Longer battery life.

^ Longer battery life!
8MP camera
Larger screen but the same size case or thinner
Faster processor
Other things are just a bonus

My wife will be getting one, so I get the hand me down 3G, sweet.

The 5 will be pretty cool I think, it's been a long time coming.

Well, a year...

Remote control for the garage door and of course, the TV.

Also some sharp-as pricing on the iPhone4 since it's really only "just" arrived

They probably pushed it forward because of the balls up that happened with the iPhone4, try and bury that ugly whoops with a huge, fabulous new version.

Well due to everyone at my work having an iPhone 4 I was considering getting one (our F&I managers computer is a mac, so it makes sense for a number of reasons) but if the 5 is worth it I'll hold off until then.

I think he means it feels like a long time coming since I've had my 3G hand attachment for about 2 1/2 years and have been getting increasingly pissed off with it and threatening to throw it at a wall as I'm sure it's got slower, or maybe it just feels slow since using his ipad2. Anyways, I'm fucking dying to upgrade and can't wait for the release date to be announced. Might even take the day off to go line up like all the other Ineedy geeks.

Actually it was pushed back, it should have been released in July if past release cycles are anything to go by.

Besides, sales figures are going "what ballsup?".

Yes but they did release a whole new phone after the 3G...

Careful. I'm a fanboi from way back and justified my iPhone with the same rationale.
Biggest pain in the arse. To cut a long story short I had to upgrade the hardware in my (working perfectly fine) G4 so that i could upgrade the OS, so that I could upgrade (the perfectly fine) version of iTunes so that I could "operate" my new iPhone.

Those who blunder around on IBM machines seem to have a much easier time with iTunes versions.

I saw someone drop their Iphone 3g a while ago. Screen absolutely shattered.

I have a phone that doesn't even have a camera. I dont plan to replace it anytime within the next few years. So I don't really see what all the fuss is about all these apple products honestly...
