definitely fake that video, it has just every single rumour that has come out in it, also it mentions the ram of the iphone and apple NEVER mention the ram.

Someone in the comments says that he made it.

Even though it isn't official, it's very well done.
Very very interested in the next couple of days

As horrible as it sounds, I don't care unless if affects the UK.
I mean if you want to play "only buy from ethically sound companies", you'd hardly ever buy anything. So I tend to just let all these court cases pass me by unless they directly affect me.

I thought it might be official the first time I watched it, but watching it a second time, it seemed strange that it mentioned the new sim card. That wouldn't sell anything to anyone.

I am sure there was rumour/slight truth in Apple purchasing a company specialising in finger print security.... will try and find source

The comments on that video are more entertaining that the video itself!
I mean, I knew YouTube was full of 12 year olds but come on!
I'm gonna stick to commenting on tech blogs where people tend to have an IQ in double figures.

If apple has changed their connector why couldn't they have gone with micro-usb like every other mobile maker. It's beneficial to everyone with a phone!
It's annoying when you're at a mates house and you ask if they have a charger, if I have a micro-usb phone and my mates only got an iPhone charger it's not as if I'm going to go out and buy an iPhone so I can use his charger. And vice versa. Unless the apple connector is going to have a significant speed increase over the micro-usb then I don't see why they wouldn't use it.

Because Apple isn't like every other mobile phone manufacturer. They have their own Eco system of comparable products and have not need to join the crowd. Plus micro USB looks cheap and tacky. The rumoured new connector looks beautiful.
And on that point, having an iPhone, I couldnt think of anyone I know who wouldn't have an apple charger in their house wether for and iPod iPhone or iPad. I'm sure they will soon replace those with new ones fairly soon too.
The current dock connector is over 10 years old!!

Not sure if serious

IIRC this new connector is rumoured to pop out easily if, say, you trip over the wire
One of the reasons why every other manufacturer joined together was to help the environment and cut down on unwanted old phone chargers being thrown away every 18 months.

They did - probably be another year or two before you see it being used by an Apple device though.
Undoubtedly the most moronic load of crap I've ever read on this forum, and you are up against some stiff competition.
Would have been mildly amusing if you were being ironic but clearly you aren't.

Sure, micro USB is useful. But Apple have decided to have a proprietary connector and so what? I also think it looks nicer than micro USB but of course this is subjective. If HTC or Samsung decided to create their own connectors, again, so what?

I think it's more to do with the fact he called a connector 'beautiful'.

You are right. Micro USB looks bloody terrible. Why shouldn't we have every aspect of our device beautiful right down to the charger. Its all in the details..To be honest, I don't mind shelling out for the nicer cable either. Apples products paint a beautifully crafted future. Its a shame there aren't even more manufactures working to a premium.
