    i was bitching about the design for a while, but the features presented at todays event made me change my mind completely. this phone looks SICK

      Happens every year lol. People were bitching about the 4S being just like the iPhone 4 but with Siri and after a month or two everyone was like well the iPhone 4S is awesome lol. Just wait till people actually get to try it at an Apple store, then they’ll really get to see the difference.

        That’s more on the software side, this was a hardware overview.

        Jeff, do you have the answer to my question?

    • http://twitter.com/soyleandro73 Leandro

      If iPhone 5 has “Sapphire lens protection”, what does iPhone 4s have?? no one can tell me that as a sure answer… :-(

      Seriously, Jeff’s voice with that music was almost a lullaby, not in a bad way. Just it’s a calm, soothing voice, like those meditation tapes that say “Now, picture yourself in front of a beautiful green field…”

    • macboy74

      We care why? The iPhone is a phone not a tablet.

      • javierE186

        Correction my good sir it is a phablet, mmmkay!!

  • pigsy101

    OMG!! …. ROFL!!! Jeff asks at the end what do you think? Well I think Jeff is trying to get a new gig at Apple coz geez, even for a fanboy that was seriously too doting …OR … Jeff was holding an iP5 in one hand and having happy trouser snake time in the other.

    • javierE186

      Not trying to rain on your parade but you comment wasn’t as funny as what you think it is. Actually it’s not funny at all. Trust me, I laugh at almost anything.

      • pigsy101

        Gawd now I’m laughing even harder. And yes I trust you.

      • http://twitter.com/e420kush e420Kush

        I agree, not funny….at all.

  • meh

    I’m loving the iPhone 5 but F@*+K AT&T !!!

  • Eldaria

    Well i’m certainly considering this over my 3GS, it is a nice phone. only thing i’m a bit disappointed about is the lack of NFC, I had really hoped they would include this. Let’s see how fast it get’s Jailbroken.

    This device is almost exactly the same as the 4s exempt for lte and the a6 chip

    • http://www.facebook.com/antman217 Anthony Antunez

      Except for the better cameras, improved speakers and microphones, ultrafast wireless, and a lot of other stuff you didn’t mention… but yeah, almost exactly the same -___-

    Maybe I’m the only one, but I wasn’t impressed. I called Rogers and I’m upgrading to Galaxy S3. I’ll be getting what I want, better voice recognition, larger screen and more memory. Maybe the next iPhone will bring me back, but like the New iPad, I saw no reason to upgrade my product.

    Gonna get The SGSIII over the iPhone 5…I was seriously underwhelmed by yesterday’s announcement

    Love Jeff’s gentel voice

  • Gorflin

    I too am underwhelmed, I think I will stick with my 4S. I can’t see the point of just elongating the screen, when you get to my age (60) a bigger screen would have been nicer to see. The only thing you can do with a longer screen is fit more icons on and watch wide screen movies but I use my iPad (1) for watching movies and tv.

    IPhone 4 was an eye candy. This isn’t, but its worth the upgrade from an iPhone 4.
