    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    I guess the people who care about what Apple does are already queuing up outside the shops like good sheep, the rest of us are just going "so what?" :rotfl:

    Can't wait for the New Iphone
  • I'm really interested to see how this will affect the prices of other smartphones (if at all). And whether it being 4S as opposed to 5 makes a difference.

    I'm looking into getting a smartphone so I personally hope it drops other prices or phone shops do deals on other to get us buying them as well. I can imagine the iPhone 4 will just become a little bit cheaper.

    I love my iphone 3gS, I doubt i'll be rushing to get the new one, I only have this one cos we got a darn good deal on it.

    All this technology totally baffles me.

    I am a fan of apple. I have an iPhone 4, and an Ipad. And I think this is the biggest fail ever from apple.

    So 16 months to update a CPU and camera? hmmm.

    So apple fans have a few choices, shell out half a grand or more on a phone barely better than the one they have now. Or tie themselves into an expensive two year contract. Carry on using the iPhone they have now and wait for another undetermined amount of time for an actual upgrade from apple, not a fob off. Or switch to another OS, android, windows, bb etc.

    What I find unbelievable is that people will buy it. If sony or nokia or samsng did this, they'd be laughed out the market. Apple do it and people will already be outside stores camping. To buy a phone that has features that have been around for a year or so on other phones.

    I love my iPhone, but I'm a MASSIVELY disappointed apple fan right now.

    Actually I'm mildly amused by this. What an anti-climax! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
