iPhone 5

[Rocklobst3r]

First Look: iPhone 5 - YouTube
Saw this and loled.
As for the iPhone 5, i'm genuinely unimpressed. I think it's sad that Apple makes very slight changes, and markets it as the best thing ever. I will never buy an Apple product just because of their business model alone. I'm no Android fanboy either, if I ever decide to get a smartphone it will probably be a Windows phone...If I can ever fine something without a massive screen.

What does OC'ing your phone accomplish?

It doesn't increase battery life.
It doesn't surf pages faster.
It doesn't become better phone operation.
It doesn't increase graphics capability.
It doesn't play music better.
It doesn't play video better.

Speed. What else?

And my gpu is overclocked too. All bloatware removed, swift keyboard, quickpic gallery, etc because DROID. "thumbsup"

I've had an iPhone 4, htc vivid, htc one x, samsung s3 (traded it in I hated it after 2 days), and I went to the 4s like 2 weeks ago and love I more than any other phone. I've had so many phones because they all break and I get in a fight with AT&T and they send me new ones lol. I heard if you just got a 4s you could trade it in for the new one is that true? My upgrade date isn't for 2 years now lol. I'm thinking about adding a line for 10$ and getting the 5 if it doesn't have a ton of bugs

u cant trade it in for a 5 but apple will give u the most money for it for them to buy it back. i think they were giving $350 for a 64gb 4s

Damn fellas....who woulda thought so many people would get so wound up over some phones. THEY'RE PHONES!!! They ALL cost too much money & they ALL release new models every few months to keep sucking the gadget geeks wallets dry. NOBODY thinks you're cool if you have the new iPhone, Galaxy or any other phone. IT'S A FRICKIN PHONE!!!!

I agree to a point, I don't try to get the newest phone at all because it's pointless and does nothing but suck my wallet dry, the reason I personally go through phones so much is because I can't find phones that don't screw up on me, like the screen going out or the battery running out in 2 hours. I'm perfectly happy with my iPhone 4s and will keep it for 2 years as long as it doesn't choose to quit working like all my other phones lol. Usually by the time I break my phone there is a new one out anyways because they release one a week now it seems lol. And I went from a brand new Samsung to an iPhone 4s because they WORK lol.

iPhones work great til after 1 year., then they fall apart.

I had my iPhone 4 for about 6 months and got a new one and I had my iPhone 3G for a year and a half and it was crap after I updated it. My girlfriend has had one for 2 years and has dropped it on everything and it worked till she got a 4s lol. I hope mine works just as good

 

[Hi-Intentionz]

Up for upgrade already reserved mine. Yeah for some odd reason AT&T told me to reserve it cause if I wait till Friday to get them I can only upgrade one line. And I have 4 so I had to reserve them. Just a headed up

 

[701 Technique]

got mine reserved, pretty excited for my first apple phone! my Ipad was one of the best purchases I've ever made. Use it daily and never had a problem.

HAPPY DANCE time, just found out the wife gets a 40% disco on Apple products through work, with the upgrade discounted price + that....I'm looking at $130 out the door....now I REALLY need to get one.

Downloading iOS6 on my i4s right now....come on go faster~!

Not true for all, still using my original 3g and it's as good as new.

 

[djjiz]

I'm extremely hard on phones and learned to repair the newest ones available in order to afford my habit..

With that said.. The 3g and 3gs were the only ones that I literally washed in the sink.

 

[TLTCrawlin]

5 out or 6 of my families iphone 4s has had some major problem. 2 home button failures, power button failure, one freezing all the time, etc.

Mine had home button failure, and I did use it alot, now I have 3 buttons on my note so spreading out the load alot more.

 

[binaryterror]

I have a 3G, worked for 2 years replaced with Evo4G and the 3G destroyed its performance.

Within 2 days the OMG removable battery in the EVO4G just couldn't compete. Whats worse...within 1 year the phone was in service 3 times to try to speed it up.

I love Open Source, and Linux...Android at the time needed improvement, its close now though.

 

[TLTCrawlin]

I hate 4g. It sucks! They push new shit when the other stuff hardly works right. Luckily my phone does 2g/3g/4g.

Only way I'd ever go back to Android would be a Google hardware spec'd phone with no carrier software added. That will never happen without me being forced to pay full unlock pricing of about $600-$750.

 

[TLTCrawlin]

Google Nexus?

And I have no carrier software on my note.

Without having to mod it...iPhones don't come with carrier based BS.

At least allow me to completely uninstall the bloatware...but wait since its Open Source its too easy to not allow that feature.
