yes.. expect a queue though
Have you never seen a store on launch day before? People will be making a line already, you'd need to get down there now lol
I wish they had something for those of us that don't want to carry a huge 90's phone around 
I have loads of money invested in the apple system, especially for ipad but all I really do with a phone is calls, text, a few pictures apps, planners, email and notes etc.
I rarely surf and have no need for screens this big. In fact they could pump out a cheaper phone still in the 4s body with a storage upgrade and I'd rather spend £600 on that. At no point in the last X years have I thought I was lacking power. Battery life would be far more preferable.
I bet the battery life on this new phone sucks too, we always here big things to then get people complain about less than a days light use.

lol @ "A queue"
there are people outside some stores already. Granted these are headcases but the point is if you turn up in the morning expect to be queuing until lunch time.

I laughed at that, it's a pure Samsung gimmick.

My contract expires in December, originally I was just going to get a 5S on a new contract but now my head is being turned...
....towards the samsung S5
Next Friday most probably.
If you look on the Apple website, you'll see there is an increase in battery life. This will mainly be due to the efficiency of the new A8 chip, rather than the battery.

Missed the last few pages, but one thing struck me overnight....... Screen protectors.
If its a seamless interface between the screen and chassis, how will screen protectors work? I tend to use glass screen protectors so these will definitely be 'feelable' along the edge, spoiling the feel of the device (IMO / YMMV etc)

)Similar battery life to the older model
Lower specs than equivalent phones
Higher prices
Dunno what I was expecting really, iPhones seem to get less impressive every generation, is this because Apple have lowered their game or because everyone else has raised it?

I would have joined the debate sooner but for A & E trying to re-start my heart following the shock from listening to the pricing structure.
How much is a 2 year contract going to cost the average punter? Even if you say it quickly it's still a choker.
Only idiots and Apple die-hards will be able to justify this purchase.
Did anyone watch the launch, first time I've ever bothered to even part listen to one of these things. OMG, it was stomach churning awful. The sycophantic whooping and clapping. I really felt embarrassed to own Apple kit.

If you're comparing specs and that matters to you, then the iPhone isn't for you. Go Samsung.

Keep what you have then
You don't actually have to spend money or have the latest phone...
It'll cost a lot. Fact is I was expecting the 32GB to be £600, so in my eyes i'm paying £20 more than expected for double the capacity. If anything i'm pleasantly surprised.
I'm certainly no idiot, although I do tend to steer towards Apple products, Macbook etc. I wouldn't call myself a die hard though, I wouldn't wear the Apple watch if it was free.

Release day?
I presume there won't be any on display before/during the pre-order period?
Also can anyone comment on whether Canadian phones will fully work over here, and whether there is international warranty on them?
I believe that was the case when i bought my 4S all those years ago. There weren't any display models at that point, but they had one out of the box to show for look and feel.
I've registered my interest with 3 and will wait to see when i can go to the store and get it, or order it over the phone.
I think I will be more than content to look at the new Nexus when it is launched or even the present model which is fantastic value.
