Cause I know for sure a lot people will be tomorrow :)
 
I've said this before....

Its an "S" phone its not suppose to be "WOW OMG LOOK AT THAT NEW DESIGN AND THAT BIGGER SCREEN"

If you are expecting that for the 5S well prepare to be massively disappointed.

"S" phones only have improvements internally and slight (very slight) design tweaks
 
Yeah half of those claiming disappointment are trolls and a quarter of the rest are just silly.

I always enjoy the keynotes even if I'm not sold on the product being rolled out. Usually I like the iPhones, This time, maybe not so much, but I wouldn't say I expect to be disappointed. My "disappointment" won't be about the capability of the thing, I just happen not to like the longer form they seem to be stuck on now with the iPhone and iPod touch. I'll get over it. Or, maybe Apple will, in the 6.

I think people grow tired of the "S" update, tech. is very fast this day and while the iphone have always been a solid device people want more and feel excited.

For me it will be a good upgrade coming from my 4s but 5 users might feel let down.

Anyway plenty of phones available this year, people shouldnt complaint anymore :) just try something new if you're bored.

Everytime people say 'iPhone is crap." etc. I always respond with this

"People still line up for it, millions people still buy it...until that comes to an end...the iPhone is not crap"

I was talking about ios7.

Expect disappointment and you won't be disappointed!

Indeed buddy. Want to go out for drinks after the announcement?

Opinions are like butt holes, everyone has one :)

I say live and let die :eek:
 
Disappointment?! Apple is unveiling a brand new, totally redesigned and revolutionary new iPhone with new digs. IOS 7 is getting all the missing new features, and the MacBook Pro line-up is getting thinner and lighter with Haswell. Similar updates with the iPad and finally a Retina display Mini! I'm pretty sure an iWatch appearance is in the cards, too. How could anyone feel disappointed with all these great gadgets coming our way in a few hours?!
 
I've been on MacRumors since 2005, and I can't recall a single product that Apple's announced since then that hasn't spawned 100+ "disappointed" threads.

It's the 'cool' thing to do. :rolleyes:

Remember the infamous Thread 500 here? It's from October 23, 2001, when Apple announced the iPod?

The. Freaking. iPod.

I don't think even iOS 7 will beat the level of disappointment from that day.

This isn't revoltionary!
I still can't believe this! All this hype for something so ridiculous! Who cares about an MP3 player? I want something new! I want them to think differently!
Why oh why would they do this?! It's so wrong! It's so stupid!

what a load of tripe!
gee! an mp3 player with a HD! how original! kinda reminds me of a JUKEBOX i once knew..

It's now at the online Apple Store!

$400 for an Mp3 Player!

I'd call it the Cube 2.0 as it wont sell, and be killed off in a short time...and it's not really functional.

Uuhh Steve, can I have a PDA now?

All that hype for an MP3 player? Break-thru digital device? The Reality Distiortion Field™ is starting to warp Steve's mind if he thinks for one second that this thing is gonna take off.

Too pricey
Not exactly "revolutionary". With the economy in its current state, You'll be able to pick up MP3 players for peanuts soon. The Archos Jukebox does the same thing and it's not blowing off the shelves either. $399 is just too much for an MP3 jukebox. Sorry Steve, this isn't it...
 
Thread 500? Whats so infamous?

...Ah nvm I see...lol I bet those people are eating their words xD

The iPod is nuking revolutionary in first place. It is just a MP3 player. What made iPod so popular wasn't the iPod itself, it was the iTunes.

Comparing iPod wih other MP3 player, iTunes offers one place to sync your music and purchase your music at lower price. However, iTunes is just so cumbersome for someone like me. I always prefer old way of drag and drop from my music folder.

I still remember I spent nearly an hour to figure out how to use this thing under Windows back at 2004.

True!! And By the way, what the hell is your picture? I've been wondering for so long!
 
I will be disappointed because I really don't want to switch to Android.. I want to stay with Apple and the Iphone, but I can't really see anything more than a few tweaks, which yeah I get that's what the 'S' is about, but still you would have thought Apple would have upped the ante considering what their competition are doing.
 
The S models have always been minor upgrades, I think a lot of people know that by now.

If you're one of those wishing for a bigger screen this year then YES you'll be disappointed.

With that said.. If this phone does have the fingerprint scanner it will be the most impressive "S" model of the 3 :)

Anyone who doesn't like it can just come on this forum and cry about it for a while before making good on their threats to switch to android :lol
