*** iPhone 5 - Revealed! ***

Well, sorry but you dont lol. 9" pinky to thumb is almost smack bang on average size, like me. I find the s3 too big personally but only because i find it difficult to use one handed (my s2 is just right). It (the s3) isn't a massive phone but then my perception of it will be different coming from a bigger phone to start with:)

I must just hang around with a load of midgets. :p

Being able to use the phone comfortably with one hand is important and i just couldn't do so with the S3.
 
excuse me guys, but may i ask one question?

OK

so i know three languages Georgian, Russian and English

every apple forum i am entering there is some android fan F.... mind that android is to cool

i cant understand one thing if u don't like iPhone why are u entering here and spending yours and our time talking bul.......

now go and translate with google droid troll bot

"I can not bring my mother shevetsi so mutel in 2 years" :)

I'm guessing that Google missed the mark somewhere? ;)
 
Any news on the 02 nano sim tryed a few places now been told friday and it take 24 hours to swap old sim over to the new nano sim
would have thought you would be able to get this a couple of days before release
 
I'd imagine they'll have them before friday.

24 hours is just them managing expectations, the majority of cases will be done in an hour or two (I'd expect).
 
So, if I get the new phone with Orange, and I get the £41 a month contract, when I move to EE when it changes over, will I have to spend more to add 4G?
 
For anyone interested in the SoC of the iPhone 5:

When Apple announced the iPhone 5, Phil Schiller officially announced what had leaked several days earlier: the phone is powered by Apple's new A6 SoC.

As always, Apple didn't announce clock speeds, CPU microarchitecture, memory bandwidth or GPU details. It did however give us an indication of expected CPU performance.

Prior to the announcement we speculated the iPhone 5's SoC would simply be a higher clocked version of the 32nm A5r2 used in the iPad 2,4. After all, Apple seems to like saving major architecture shifts for the iPad.

However, just prior to the announcement I received some information pointing to a move away from the ARM Cortex A9 used in the A5. Given Apple's reliance on fully licensed ARM cores in the past, the expected performance gains and unpublishable information that started all of this I concluded Apple's A6 SoC likely featured two ARM Cortex A15 cores.

It turns out I was wrong. But pleasantly surprised.

The A6 is the first Apple SoC to use its own ARMv7 based processor design. The CPU core(s) aren't based on a vanilla A9 or A15 design from ARM IP, but instead are something of Apple's own creation.

The bad news is I have no details on the design of Apple's custom core. Despite Apple's willingness to spend on die area, I believe an A15/Krait class CPU core is a likely target. Slightly wider front end, more execution resources, more flexible OoO execution engine, deeper buffers, bigger windows, etc... Support for VFPv4 guarantees a bigger core size than the Cortex A9, it only makes sense that Apple would push the envelope everywhere else as well. I'm particularly interested in frequency targets and whether there's any clever dynamic clock work happening. Someone needs to run Geekbench on an iPhone 5 pronto.

Interesting...
 
***carphone warehouse***

To anyone who pre-ordered via Carphone Warehouse over the phone....

Have you received any confirmation emails or texts yet?

Over the phone they said that everything had been processed fine and that I would receive a confirmation text & email soon.

I don't want to leave it much longer to find out there has been some sort of issue with my pre-order.
 
Wow, so the CPU/GPU could be of Apples design.

Very interested in what it actually is. 2x as powerful and uses less power. That doesn't sound like a A15...
