**Apple Media Event - September 12th **

Biggest disappointment for me is NFC but we've sort of known it was going to be in this one... Just feel they're missing a trick with wireless payments and what not :p

Maybe next year...

Another downside is the battery... they've improved it a little, but it isn't tremendous :(

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

because it does what the S3 does without being massive

because it has better made and supported apps and games ?

i guess it depends on the user , its why i might of considered one though

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

It could get interesting though, I have a few work colleagues who were waiting on todays event to decide between iPhone 5 or SG3 and I'm 99% sure after today they'll be going for the SG3.

Wonder how many others have been waiting and will come to this conclusion?

Also at this point in time is it worth upgrading from a iPhone 4 let alone a 4S to the 5!
 
They won't unveil the TV till they have the content to go with it - AFAIK they're still a way off getting the deals they want done there - when they do then it'll get released. No point hyping something that would just be an Apple TV + a TV - the content needs to be far more extensive.

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.

Indeed! It's the same every year though - People coming in and complaining it's nothing new. But getting that amount of technology in such a sweet, small, sleek design is amazing. The S3 looks like a toy in comparison.

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?

Yeah that's a bit rubbish :( How much we going to fork out for? :p Hopefully the media will ask the question and we'll know very shortly :)

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

Indeed i've never been happier with mine.

Still think though that Apple have led the way for design and innovation for the last couple of years yet they seem to have now settled on their laurels for the last 2 releases and relied on court wins and percieved status to keep them going. I'd say they have done nothing of note since before Mr J was obviously fighting for his life, he really seems to have been "the man with the plan".

Again, http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2012/07/who-ruined-nfc-payments/

Apple aren't going to bother with NFC until a load of stuff is sorted with it and there's the facility to actually use it in a variety of ways. Future-proofing is pointless since by the time NFC is popular here we'll be another few iPhone models ahead.
 
I'm confused,
intelligent £25 adaptors?
I think they're now desperately trying to teach an old dog new tricks, since when has an extra row of apps been something to talk about!

The iphone 4 was a toy when put next to the blackberries and galaxies, no doubt this will be a toy too.

There's only so far clever marketing will get you imo.
 
Someone told me that it does 800MHZ LTE too, as-well as the EveryThing Everywhere's 1800MHz LTE. Is that true? And does that mean when O2 and Vodafone launch their LTE networks late 2013 on 800MHz the iPhone 5 handsets we all buy next will work on it?

I'd presume that all netwroks will have iPhone compaible LTE... not doing so would be a major oversight
