Apple Issues Invitations for Media Event on September 12

[jsgoulding]

iPhone model names have NEVER corresponded to generations. 😀 They may have accidentally been the same on occasion but the numbers simply do not denote gererations. Why do people suddenly think they should?😱

"coz dey stoopid"

Tell what you think...

Ok here's a thought... Do you think apple is calling it the iPhone 5 instead of the new iPhone because it's with the new dock connector? Well that's not necissarily why but think of this. They called it the new iPad and not iPad 3. So are they going to revamp the new iPad with a new dock connecter etc. and call it iPad 3 later this year? And i know they're calling it iPhone 5 because of 4,4s.

 

[felixroqu3]

Well, it's official. It's the iPhone 5; everyone else can shut up about it now.

We all know thats not gonna happen.

 

[jonnysods]

Very cool. Wondering what they will surprise us with.

 

[WeegieMac]

I can't believe the theories some folk come up with ...

 

[o0jelly0o]

Ew. So instead of calling the 2012 iPad--which actually is the 3rd iPad--the iPad 3, they call it the iPad. For clarity.

Then the same year, they decide to call the 2012 iPhone the iPhone 5--despite the fact that it is neither the 5th major version of its shell, but the 3rd; nor the 5th phone they released, since it's the 6th)

Backwards. As hell.

They dropped the naming from iPad because the iPad mini is coming out. iPad 4 and iPad mini 2? I think not. iPad and iPad mini? I think so.

Oh noes! A 5!

The iPhone 6 trolls will be vanquished forever, driven back to their caves of lunacy by a shimmering sword of common sense!

At leasst until next year when they'll proclaim the next iPhone will be the iPhone 7. It's just to difficult to argue with ignorance.

 

[the8thark]

5! 🙂

I have nothing else to add I suppose, at least without seeming petty. 😉

These kind of posts are why we need a downvote button. Or the removal of the upvote button at the very least.

And back on topic.
It is obvious about the 5. Apple obviously did it on purpose. We've had part leaks for months. Part manufacturing estimate leaks etc etc and the list goes on. Just nice for Apple to confirm what we all, all ready know.

........genius!!!!!!!!

 

[stu.h]

This thread is mostly full of morons.

It was always going to be called the iPhone 5, we didn't need 26+ pages to tell us that.

Looking forward to a week on Wednesday about 9PM UK time. I'll have my beers ready.

Oh, I liked the humble 'Eating Crow' thing, tickled me.

😀

I believe we have seen all of the iPhone 5 already, via the leaks. And we have seen iOS 6. So... don't expect too much.

 

[CaryMacGuy]

Someone needs to write a letter to Phil Schiller and explain to him that this CANNOT be "iPhone 5" because this is actually the 6th generation iPhone.

Oh wait, nobody cares. 🙄

Well at the same time someone should write Steve Ballmer and explain that Windows 8 is actually Windows version 6.2 and Windows 7 is version 6.1

 

[kmccown]

"5"

Maybe they're introducing 5 product updates. iPhone, iPod, iPad Mini etc.

 

[meechy]

The shadow is clearily a 5.

No **** Sherlock.

You want to downvote the owner of the site? LOL

 

[bluesoverdrive]

So, do you think the next Panas0nic phone will kill iPhone? 😛

 

[Lepton]

The Asian market is important to Apple. 1 + 2 + 5 = 8. Eight is a very lucky number in Asia. So Obviously it will be the iPhone 8!

 

[meechy]

I cant find it on the Apple website, i want to place my order right now.

 

[CrAkD]

They are calling it the 5 just to ride the lunacy train of every rumor site calling it the 5. It makes zero sense. Pisses me off actually haha

 

[nevesis]

Has anyone seen this yet?

If you wait until 9pm UK time - you will have missed it!!!!! I think UK time normally equates to about 6pm ( that's what time the usual Apple events are normally on over here) 😉
