**Apple Media Event - September 12th **

[Vita]

I won't be upgrading from my 4s. Isn't a big enough jump.

No LTE on 800mhz or 2600

I think Apple are learning not to release things on the same day as this can kill the servers the amount of people on sites.

I have a 4 but not sure if the 5 will be worth it at the moment. Will have to have a play of them in store really to decide.

The question is, how does Apple justify the price of the IP5 when comparing to the SGS3?

 

[uniQ]

May I ask why you would want a smaller iPad?

Because I mostly use it for reading and don't find it quite as transportable as I would like. At the moment depending on what have to do on the day I'll take either the MBA or the iPad with me. A smaller iPad would be better for reading imo, more portable and more likely I would take both MBA & iPad and then make the most of having both screens increasing productivity.

Design for one, the whole single piece of Aluminium is sexy

Well, I just feel all meh about that. Might start looking at android and windows phones see if they offer me something more. Got till April to have a good look and mess about with actual handsets.

 

[pumaz]

thats it? i'm completely underwhelmed by that.

No innovation at all.

On happier note, all of us that switched to SG3 can now breath a sigh of relief

 

[cotton_flex]

feeling meh too...held off my upgrade for good few months (coming from 4) and feeling nothing for this one really. It feels more like 4SS then a jump in version.

 

[ZG002]

So was everything bar the camera features and A6 (from what I can remember) leaked before this? I know the design was and the connector etc.

Samsung are offering a trade in when you buy an S3. Trade in an iPhone 4 or 4s and get a Galaxy Tab.

Lots of people disgruntled in here but watch it outsell everything else as it does always

 

[Egon]

I'd pretty much made my mind up on the Lumia 920 anyway but this confirmed it for me. Not enough here to make me go back to an iPhone.

I think people need to stop expecting Apple to reinvent the iPhone every year. The reality is, for better or worse, they don't need to.

It will, for this quarter.

That's because they think are the master race if they buy apple products and have more money than sence

 

[Robbo]

Yeah, it will.

To be fair, everyone (myself included) said pretty much the same thing when the Galaxy S 3 came out (not a big difference to the S2/Nexus, etc - yet there were big differences that weren't obvious), this is a similar sort of change so I'm not sure why Apple are catching any extra flak for it.

People will simmer down and realise that actually, it's a good bit of kit.

If you look at my OP in the iPhone 5 thread, it's pretty much ticked all of the boxes.

 

[itsallaboutyou]

No prices for UK models yet... from what I can see. The US site has the prices as per the keynote obv excluding a 2 year contract. What about those of us who want to buy handset only?

*sense

Really guys what did you think the new phone would do, make you a cup of tea, bonk your wife, tell jokes on your behalf?
