iPhone 5 Detail Today

The S3 16GB was also £500.....

I don't think he was trying to put down the price? Just saying that the prices will likely be the same as the current range.

The price for the 16GB is fine, but then you realise you can't just add a memory card, and end up having to pay well over the odds to get a higher memory version.

Yea I wasn't being sarcastic, just whatever that revealed it'll be start at 499.99, think we should know that, unless the do a Nokia and bump the starting memory to 32GB, which would be a nice standard to start.

Pretty much all the big flagship phones are at the 500 mark now.

Ill add, obviously, would be nice to see some drop their price for competition.

 

[Robbo]

I think a 32GB base model would be a great idea, but I don't think they'll do it.

Another row of icons and still no hd screen, haha

 

[Mr Paul]

Amazing, it looks the same as the iPhone 4 IMHO

Fanbo.......sorry people will lap it up.

"Worlds most advanced display" that isn't HD, very nice Apple

 

[cymatty]

We removed a layer and made it sharper

Erm no LG or Sharp did.

lol indeed they will

 

[Robbo]

Pretty much as expected so far, the A6 chip and UK LTE support are good though.

Those graphics are impressive too on Real Racing 3.

 

[Mr Paul]

Still dual core though, right?

 

[Xinn]

Disappointing that it isnt 720p screen though, I thought they would have gotten that in. Don't see how they can claim it's the most advanced display otherwise.

 

[Robbo]

Still dual core though, right?

Yeah, but it's very impressive architecture (as far as I know).

 

[muon]

Yeah, but it's very impressive architecture (as far as I know).

Well if it's dual core it will still be behind Krait unless Apple went to a lot of expense to vastly change ARM's cores. Apple haven't done that before so it will probably be A9 with a few improvements.

Why couldn't it be a dual core A15? (That's krait right?)

 

[Mr Paul]

The GPU is very good, but everything else is a little meh

It's allegedly the A15, which is pretty damn powerful as far as I know.

Overall: it's very nice but it really doesn't do anything new (or even try to, to be honest).

More to come though, I guess...

 

[muon]

A15 cores aren't out yet (in the large numbers Apple needs). A15 is better than Krait.

Will iPhone 4s etc get the new iOS features? The new mail features *ahem* Google's Priority inbox, would miff older iPhone users off if they don't get such things I guess?

Lots of feature additions in software, stuff that should have been rolled out as and when anyway though. I guess they held those back because otherwise the new phone keynote would be rather bare.

It should get all of it... there's nothing in iOS6 that they could justify leaving out of the iPhone 4S.

That doesn't mean they won't though.
