There's plenty of news already. It is 18% thinner and 20% lighter with a 1136x640 resolution.

is anyone watching the live stream on Endgadget? If anyone's on the Orange mailing list too, they're pretty quick off the mark with all the new accessories.....

Two years work and we end up with a slightly larger screen, Apple designers are a lazy as those from Porsche.

Thats it !? LOL Sam*sung* WP8 for me, or Lumia 920 next upgrade.

Apple started the race in first place but got exhausted & now HappiLY everyone elses OS/specs is overtaking them. See you in late 2013 hApple...

I might let a bit of urine slip out when I think of all them fanboys

HappiLY content with my 2 year old HTC 2010 Windows Phone 7 model even more so now, bar a front facing camera & 4G my specs are just as good with a more superior user friendly OS :rotfl:

I cant believe people still go for them, cant say any of the late models have said to me I want it. Even cheap phones have better features.

What would you expect the iPhone 5 to have, that it doesn't have, in order to overwhelm you? Existing iPhones will get the new iOS 6, so we're talking here specifically about hardware, not software.

Well I was right the iPod touch was the most interesting update, though no 128GB version.

Depends what you mean, more/better/higher doesn't always mean it is better, my old Nokia 6230 has bluetooth file transfer but does that mean it's a better phone?
As I've said a big selling point of the iPhone is that it just works, I know android is pretty easy to use as well but it's little things like having to install Flash to use iPlayer, instead of just installing the iPlayer app and it works, the fact that manufacturers customize android so if you change from an S3 to a One X it's another learning curve, a lot of 'normal' people just plain don't want that hassle.

And probably the same 4/4S battery to drain on a 4G network streaming to a bigger battery reducing screen perhaps ? lol

It's a fail from me...its not tempting me back, I can get them all on better handsets on cheaper contracts.

Oh well the fanboys will still buy it to be uber *cool*, uber cool and credit are what brought our worldwide financial status down.

I'll check on the yearly MSE iplod launch thread next year, perhaps one thing on that model might interest me, for now in 2012/13 its WP8 for me :cool:
