iPhone 5 - what are we expecting?

I see Apple have introduced Earpods.
This is clearly a breach of copyright as Earpods are the intellectual property of Cybus Industries.

Someone, or something will be deleting Apple pretty soon.

How do you know Apple haven't licensed the use of the name?

I was informed by the daily download from Cybus.

Urgh... well... despite saying I'd upgrade assuming there were incremental upgrades in almost everything... which is what I got... the new iphone is a bit, um, tepid. I'll be definitely waiting a little while just until most apps have adjusted for the new screen size.

Funnily enough the comment about hand size - I am a petite ish girl and can't actually type reliably one handed on current iphones. I do find that quite annoying so the narrower size should suit me. However I'm interested to see it in the flesh as it's so much taller, might look a bit odd.

For me I would like to have seen a different design instead of a reshaped iphone 4. Yes... it's a classic phone shape now... but with all those overpriced designers Apple have, surely they could have come up with something new? Personally i still love the curvy back of the 3GS. The 4 and 5 just look boring and dull to me in comparison.

Can't wait to get my hands on one of these, looks great from what I can tell.

And tbh I couldnt agree more.

I think the iFans are bit erm . .. lost for words. They seem to be having problems finding anything to get excited about.

Just a few quotes from ZDNet talk-back

This phone has more features plucked straight from Android . . .

Don't venture out (with your Iphone) because you will get kicked in butt by Samsung SG3 and Nokia Lumia 920.

Now I see why they sued Samsung... The iPhone 5 looks just like what Samsung had out for the past year now.

Welcome to 2011

Don't bother comparing it with the Nokia Lumia 920 or SG3 because the iPhone is just outdated. Bigger screen? LOL

Everyone seems a little underwhelmed in the US

Of course it'll still sell, it's a cult thing.

That's what I dislike about Apple the most, how they call everything names, their not 'Earpods' they're headphones, it's not 'Facetime' it's video calling, it's not 'iSight' it just a plain old camera.
