*** iPhone 5 - Revealed! ***

[Robbo]

Let us know what you think to it.

 

[Robbo]

The orders that have been dispatched/shipped today, could we possibly have our phones tomorrow?

Nope, extremely unlikely.

 

[Robbo]

I just got a shipment mail, says expected on the 21st. Could they be playing it safe and it arrive tomorrow?

Nope.

You can all read The Verge's review while impatiently waiting: http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/21/3363238/iphone-5-review

 

[Robbo]

Most people want longer battery life. Is it included?

By most accounts - yes.

 

[Robbo]

Nice, some proper pictures. Looks good.

What do you think to it?

 

[Robbo]

You don't get an adapter, that was an error on the Apple site.

 

[Robbo]

Anyone else get the feeling that the Iphone 5 is lacking something? Having seen the S3 pop up video capability and others i must say i feel very tempted to move from Apple having always had an Iphone since the 3G

I've personally found that to be a gimmick, it makes the phone look good when you play a video over the top of Angry Birds but in reality it isn't all that useful.

I can see some uses for it though.

That's 8am at Bluewater, Kent

I've got one for sale, 64GB black.

Beyond moronic behaviour, really.

 

[Robbo]

Erm what exactly was it all about?

Glad I went to my usual Chelmsford store and not Bluewater which is about 5 minutes drive from where I work

That is what the Apple staff do.

 

[Robbo]

Stupid question.... why?

Because the hipsters love it.

Drop tests: http://www.macrumors.com/2012/09/21...op-tests-show-very-durable-device-and-screen/

Seems to fair quite well.

 

[Robbo]

You said the same about the 4S but you have that. As for friend and having a 5 I think you are lieing on both counts.

It's Jimz, he's a deluded troll.

 

[Robbo]

Wow, there are some seriously deluded idiots on Macrumours:

Out of the box dings are certainly unacceptable. But am I the only one who will kind of like the worn look after a year? There's something vintage about it that reminds me of an old Leica.

I'm going to wait and see what happens with this, I was waiting anyway so it's not a problem.

 

[Robbo]

There is a couple of die hard proper fanboys on there that think this is all being cooked up by Samsung.

Hahahaha.

 

[Robbo]

How about this one

In the macrumours thread talking about sharingan_sasuk pictures.

My. Word.

Nutters.

 

[Robbo]

I can't say it bothers me. I mean come on, if you take keys and a sharp item to a phone it'll damage it? Really?

In other news, water is wet.

The phone being damaged when attacked aspect doesn't bother me, nor should it really bother anyone.

What should bother you is poor quality control, and the edges of the phone chipping easily (like when taking it out of a case), or being chipped during the manufacturing process.

 

[Robbo]

Scratch test of the back.

I'm really enjoying my iPhone 5

It feels very light and the screen is brilliant. I'm really impressed with the speed of the device. It's increidbly quick on Wifi and is still very quick on 3G.

Maps, meh, it's ok, I don't use it that often. Youtube is a bit of a loss, but I tend to use my iPad 3 / MacBook Pro for watching video's as I usually find the screen size frustrating.

A welcome upgrade that I'm enjoying a lot

Get the new Youtube app from the store.

 

[Robbo]

Is it really worth it?

I don't really enjoy watching things on the lack of screen size, I will give it a go when it's released and is full screen on the 5

It only takes a minute to try it!
