SMELTN Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Now that we have a conformation from Apple that the conference is next Tuesday Oct 4th. Lets use this thread to discuss the conference and iPhone(s). What do we know for sure yet? What do we WANT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdanster Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I voted no. I'm not trying to turn this into a whole ios vs android debate; but I got my Samsung Galaxy s 2 in white the other day and it is amazing. I don't think any OS can drag me away from it now :). As for the conference, I'm guessing they will launch a 4GS and an iPhone 5. The iphone 5 can't have a teardrop design otherwise it would fail epically in landscape mode!

I wonder if they will launch 2? I really think it could be.. Also I am a current Android user ( Samsung Galaxy S Captivate ) and REALLY love the look of the SGS2 and REALLY want to get it.... which it is coming to AT&T Oct 2nd, but I am going to wait to see how big this new 5 is. If it has the 3.7 or 4 inch screen... I am sold.. we already know its going to have the dual core... well at least we think it will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Star Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Buying one DAY1. Currently I have an iPod touch 2G in my left pocket and a htc hero in my right, so I can't wait to get all my things into one device. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxes Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Still got another year with my HTC Desire, I'll be due for a new phone roughly in time for the iPhone 6 (or whatever they decide to call it). If that phone includes LTE I *might* consider it but currently have my heart set on successor to the Galaxy S2 (since that'll most likely be out by the time my contract expires).

Rudy Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Can't wait to upgrade my 3Gs :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikh Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Im with Rudy and Tech Star. I have a launch 3GS. Launch day purchase June 15, 2009. It's time for this phone, as awesome as its life been with me, to finally upgrade. I want a bigger screen and im not to worried about design, i like the iphone 4. Its pretty thin and light as it is, if they can go thinner, holy crap, if they cant, big deal. I love how the iphone 4 feels. My dad had one and I love it. Also with an otterbox (i dont care what your excuse is but if im paying $100+ for a phone / for such an expensive phone to replace, im getting protection), its not too bulky, still pops out of the pocket easy, works great. I love it. So im hoping the same for the next iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Observer Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 have iPhone4 and X5 Android. enjoy them both. looking at SG2 waiting for iPhone5 should be a interesting release. I really think apple need to do something great here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundayx Veteran Posted September 28, 2011 Veteran Share Posted September 28, 2011 What a misleading title :rollseye: Might not be iPhone 5 but I'll be hugely disappointed. Glassed Silver 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vice Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I'm still using my old iPhone 3GS so I'm looking forward to the iPhone 5. I wasn't really digging the iPhone 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted October 2, 2011 Veteran Share Posted October 2, 2011 I'm fed up with my Android phone (bad build quality, buggy software, etc.), so if Apple don't release an iPhone 5 then I'll just be buying an iPhone 4 instead.

what Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I WANT a much thinner and lighter device. I'm the opposite. I quite like the iPhone 4's thickness/weight, gives you confidence in its build quality. All it needs it a slightly larger screen.

Boz Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 The ridiculousness of this poll is the amount of people blindly saying they will buy a product they haven't even seen. Truly incredible how much people are influenced by marketing to the point of complete inability to think rationally. valhalla_rk 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly incredible how much people are influenced by marketing to the point of complete inability to think rationally. I don't think it's as ridiculous as you are making it out to be. We've seen the software and similar hardware in the iPad 2 (if previous trends are followed). Personally I am not happy with the state of Android, and while I'm happy with the direction of Windows Phone 7 it's not where it needs to be yet. With those two eliminated, factoring in all that we know already about the iPhone I think it's pretty fair to say "I'm getting the next iPhone".

sundayx Veteran Posted October 2, 2011 Veteran Share Posted October 2, 2011 Well I'd safely assume that Ferrari's next supercar would be great, regardless if I've seen it or know about it's performance specs. /justsayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vice Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Erm, I think Battlefield 3 has been publicly acknowledged.... Right. But I do wonder if he pre-ordered it before playing it or seeing actual gameplay and not just trailers. I mean you wouldn't just buy a phone based on an advert online you'd try it in store right? That's how I feel about games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much, we know software wise were apple is heading, we know there's hardware improvement, although nothing specific, it's good enough for some, especially those whom have owned iPhone's since the original. All in all, they keep getting better :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
