With all this talk of Cases, surely Apple have to let the case manufactuers know well before so they can get them designed and made?
Pre-Orders for Next-Generation iPhone to Begin September 12?
Monday August 13, 2012 11:15 am PDT by Eric Slivka
iMore, which was the first source to claim that Apple will be holding its media event to introduce the next-generation iPhone on September 12, now reports that pre-orders for the device will begin on that same date ahead of the already-rumored first wave of launches on September 21.
Apple's first launch wave typically includes the United States and perhaps a half dozen other countries, and iMore notes that the second wave of launches that will bring the device to additional countries is scheduled for the first week of October.
We've since learned that iPhone 5 pre-orders are currently planned to begin that same day, at least in the U.S. Release is still planned for 9 days later, on September 21, 2012. We've also learned that the second wave of iPhone launches, the ones in international markets, will begin in the first week of October, likely October 5.
The report notes that this sequence of events will be similar but not identical to last year's, which saw the iPhone 4S introduced on October 4 and pre-orders begin three days later on October 7. The iPhone launched in the United States and six other countries on October 14, with the second wave bringing the device to over 20 additional countries two weeks later.

Cant wait for the upgrade, been offered a price of 27 a month for 18 months, unlimited texts and 1000 minutes on the iPhone 5
Of course
What do you mean of course? I get 40% of friends and family orange discount and I was just given a provisional price from orange assuming its 45 a month like then4 and 3GS was. Check me other posts, I got the s3 for like 21 a month.
I'm confused about the screen res arguement. Surely if they increase the screen size they would need to increase the resolution as well or it wouldn't be "Retina" any more?

Pfft, I've been offered the iPhone 10 for £25pm yo.
They're not increasing size just aspect ratio. The new screen only adds 176 pixels to the top of the current one, making it a 'wide screen' iPhone.
It's a minor change at best, ignore the usual comments from fanboys afraid of change
out of interest how have you already had an offer on this?
i think i am a good enough customer of Orange to get a pre order...
I'm not sure I could get used to a smaller screen after being on the S3 for this long. Decisions, decisions...
Don't trash another thread with your immaturity.
You speaking to me?
