Live Coverage of Apple's iPhone 5 Media Event [Event Over]

[Simplicated]

So, it's official. Doubling down on security was a fairly useless thing to say.

It's SECRECY. Secrecy. Secrecy, secrecy, secrecy...

 

[lapeno]

Really disappointed. wanted a wider iphone..

 

[bad03xtreme]

I am not buying the designed to fit in your hand crap my thumb would work better with a wider phone than with a taller phone. I don't have alien thumbs that are 5" long...

 

[lilj4425]

Oh man it was that cr@p we have been seen for ages (((

bye bye apple!

Points and laughs.

 

[nooaah]

AAPL is taking a beating right now. Guess investors weren't impressed.

 

[Icaras]

Looks like it matches with the leaks.....disappointing

You have only yourself to blame by reading all the leaks

 

[basesloaded190]

AAPL is taking a beating right now. Guess investors weren't impressed.

It's down .5%

That happens during EVERY Apple event.

lol, true

 

[FuNGi]

44% more color saturation sounds reeeeal nize

 

[JSalig]

I much prefer the 4S design. The iphone 5 design reminds me of the current ipod touch which I didn't like holding.

 

[upnorth85]

13% thinner than Samsung Galaxy S3

SGS 3 - 8.6
iPhone 5 - 7.6

Wow - iPhone 5 is 13.16% thinner than SGS 3!

If anybody's there and reading this, please yell out "What about the fecking iMac!?"

Thank you.

 

[Dr McKay]

"The iPad is driving the post-PC revolution at a breathtaking pace." "We sold more iPads [last quarter, 17 million] than any PC manufacturer sold of their entire PC line." 84 million iPads total, through June. "Shocking when you think this is a category that didn't exist two and a half years ago."

Did he seriously just say that Tablets didnt exist before the iPad?

 

[Mackan]

So did he say why they went with 4 inch screen? Or just avoided that...

 

[576316]

Apple are lagging behind massively. This is another 4S with a bigger screen. Another disappointment from Apple.

 

[ReanimationN]

Good job doubling down on secrecy Tim.

The phone looks pretty stock standard so far. The leaks ruined the whole iPhone reveal.

 

[Phil A.]

This never happens during a keynote. Worrying times for AAPL.

Lol, it always happens during the keynotes! It's only down 0.41% anyway

 

[MMOTotal]

LTE confirmed.

 

[Penfold2711]

2 years to design that johnny your slipping fella its just thats roll out the same design over and over again, i think apple has lost its style

 

[ristlin]

"The average customer uses over 100 apps" ... that can't be true. I use about 5.

You must be less than average.

 

[HannKett]

It's down .5%

1.2% from when the iphone 5 appeared

most holding out for ipad mini

 

[dgree03]

I wish I had 2 mouths so I can Yawwwwwwwwn more at this keynote... My wife will like the phone tho..

 

[JForestZ34]

HAHAHAHA. Everyone was saying " apple won't release a iPhone with a 4" screen or it won't have a metal back". Lol looks like they are wrong again
