That's a nice line up, even the free one is a good phone.
If I upgraded to an iPhone 4 upon release, will I be eligible for an iPhone 5 at the $199 mark now? I'm on Rogers in Canada....
Its funny how Apple tries to keep so much of this secret when its really no news at all. With regards to the new phone the only thing exciting for me personally is the new camera setup.
Other then that ... meh.
The majority of people don't read tech sites like iMore. So to "normal" people, it's still news.
Well, on the good side they finally have LTE. Also the fit and finish appear to be awesome.
On the bad side they go to 4" but use a funky display sizing that effectively removes what should have been the point of going larger - make it WIDER.
Also, in typical fashion they are making preposterous statements about stuff the "innovated". Sorry but LTE on the chip is hardly an Apple innovation - Qualcomm has been doing it for a year now. Still one can choose to just ignore that stuff although it does speak to the poor attitude Apple has been showing since Steve Jobs passed away.
All in all it is a compelling piece of kit. It would be interesting to do a 3 way comparison (once all are out) between this, the Moto-Google RAZR HD Maxx and Nokia's Lumia 920.
Soooooo we got a bigger iPhone 4S with LTE? Awesome.....
I feel like this build up to and the final release of the iPhone 5 was like a scene from Iron Man 2. The part where war machine is going to blast the bad guy with the "ex -wife" and totally destroy him except the missile peters out like a bottle rocket and fizzles on the ground. Yeah. iPhone 5 is the ex wife.
