iPhone 5S Reportedly Slated for March Production with June/July Launch

I'm happy to rip apple a new one when they f up: ie IT11, mountain lion, etc., but I think IP5 is a spectacular success.

I am still stunned at how light and thin this device is, and I am completely overwhelmed with it's capabilities. It'll take me at least a year just to discover it's full functionality, much less exploit all of it.

Yes, this is my first 'smartphone' but I feel completely comfortable rating this device a 10/10 or 11/10.

My only regret is that I have to wrap this gorgeous device in a relatively ugly, tacky piece of plastic to protect it.

Another bent gate.

Now that everyone knows that an iPhone 5S will be arriving in about 6 month's time, that means that iPhone 5 sales will decline.

Which means that the Holiday season was the best time/season for the iPhone 5.

i predict another sad upgrade. better camera, battery life, processor. maybe a slightly bigger display. iOS7? probably another crap update. iOS is already behind android in economic design. android has quick toggles, swiftkey as an option, and tasker - very convenient to have. but best design will be the blackberry: the idea of "flow" will make phone operation extremely efficient. it also has the fastest mobile browser. the future is blackberry

sorry about that, i just meant Android and BB allow you to do things more efficiently. both those OS's have very convenient features that improve user experience. the only iOS features i could think of that's better is SwipeSelection and iFile, but those are Cydia tweaks, so i may not count those. i suppose multitasking is better for iOS

iPhone 5 was a good phone except for Maps(should have been in beta). But what I am most interested in now is iOS 7.

Lol, can you imagine how silly someone will look holding that to their face? And eight cores? Wow.

There is such a thing as too much...I think Apple needs to do a wider screen like you said, but thankfully I know they would never consider something that big!

That's what she said.

(sorry I just couldn't resist)
