Obviously any of you guys commenting on this dont know squat! Im a DJ and i have over 2TB of music. None of which is pirated and barely any from Itunes. DJ's belong to music pools that offer us music with a subscription. And that only accounts for maybe 250gb of my library. I have hundreds of CD's and records that i have transfers to my mac. And as far as using 320kbs thats the standard used. So before you guys go calling someone out to be a pirate know that there are plenty of people that have libraries that large that are totally legit and legal.

you're a minority

most people who want to carry around 150GB of music are digital hoarders
 
Anyone else notice it's only running iOS 4.1?

you claim to be a DJ, yet you're only using MP3?

Who said i was only using MP3?! All the music i have transfered from cd's and vinyl are AAC. But most of the Music pools we subscribe to use 320kbs MP3.

20,000 iPhone covered by that company. What they didn't say was the total phones they covered in totality. To date they've sold 16.2 million iPhones. I realize that the company making that statement in your links doesn't cover all of these. But hypothetically, we're talking about around .001%. Not really a big deal.

In comparison to a other non iPhones, that are Smartphones, I'm sure the percentage isn't as high, but they still have breaks...

I've owned 2 different iPhones; 3G, and now the 4. I don't baby them, but both were/are in great shape. No scratches, or cracks, etc.

In the interest of accuracy, this math calculation = .001. You can't just slap a % at the end of it, you need to carry the decimal. It's .1%. Again - still small - but just in being represented mathematically correct.

If you are DJing in a club, I seriously doubt anyone is going to tell the difference between an mp3 and a lossless file. Plus, as it has been pointed out, mp3s allow DJs to bring enormous amounts of potential music with them to clubs.

Nevertheless, back on topic, its great that Apple may be offering a 64 GB iPhone, but for those that will been taking advantage of iTunes Match (or iCloud for their videos/photos), 64 GB may not be needed.

I store at 320 KBPS AAC. I'd be hard pressed to find someone who can find the difference between that and lossless.

Don't even start, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Yea ok! You know full well that you copied your music from other DJ hard drives. Dont BS us, no one will ever buy that facade.

I don't think it's that unlikely. Companies pre-produce all the time, and occasionally on bad / incomplete information. The classic example is that they print up all kinds of Super Bowl paraphernalia showing both teams as winners. The second the game's over, they put the stuff identifying the real winner on sale and ship the stuff identifying the wrong winner off to needy areas.

It's certainly true that companies pre-produce, and in the business of cellphones it's essential that case and other accessory manufacturers do in order to have merchandise in stores to support new devices as they arrive. However, there's a vast difference between the pre-production of printed materials such as you describe, or even of low-volume commodities such as superbowl champion caps for teams that actually lose (production volume of which is only small given the immediate needs only at the end of the game), and the mass production of cell phone cases requiring large amounts of capital for plant tooling, materials and distribution.

And one would also have to consider the 'fact' that these cases are turning up in AT&T stock rooms..... AT&T would not likely be spending a great deal of money speculating at this stage on what accessories they would need for the next device release. Staff in stores won't yet know, nor would mid-level management, but at a senior level you can be sure that AT&T pretty much know what Apple is going to be shipping to them in the next week or two.
 
I don't know why everybody is going to be SOOOO disappointed if an iPhone "5" doesn't get released. It sounds like this "4S" would be a decent upgrade:

Based on rumors we might see something like this:
-64GB
-Nuance integration
-HSPA+ compatible (not LTE, but better then nothing)
-A5 processor
-8MP camera

If they don't change the design or the screen size, is it the end of the world? I dunno about you, but above would be a pretty sweet phone IMO! :)
 
Benefits of Apple releasing a iPhone 4S instead of an iPhone 5:

Maybe less people will buy it, making it easier for users who do want it, to get it.

Hear Hear! And anyways, come back when you've legally bought 600GB worth of mp3s/aac's and I might be impressed.

Anyhow, I am definitely for a 64 GB+ iPhone, and I'd be a little bit surprised if we don't see it with this release.

I have a coworker with over 7000 CDs, and 2-3 times as many LPs. (last I knew) Don't think he ever ripped much, though. I want to be in his will. (for the LPs, of course)

There are such people is all I'm saying.

um i wanto know why in 2011 apple refuses to put stereo speakers on the iphone and ipad ??????? such a basic modern feature is left out...

It's probably because music sounds awful on cell phone speakers.

it does not have to though bose has micro speaker technology that creates nice sound in stereo but apple figures they are selling fine without it so they dont care...
 
I suspect there will be an iPhone 4S and an iPhone 5. The "S" stands for Sprint, as in Sprint is getting the "standard" iPhone 4 slightly reconfigured for them. A different, "new" model will be called the iPhone 5.

But then again, I'm just making this stuff up as I go along!

I don't think it's quite as expensive as you imagine for something that just requires a little molding. They have gotten it wrong before:

https://www.macrumors.com/2009/10/0...ouch-cases-with-camera-holes-for-sale-in-u-s/

But to be honest, I hadn't seen the latest case story, and was unaware redesigned cases were known to be shipping in any sort of volume. In which case, we'll see, and I'd be interested in hearing arn's reasoning why he appears confident that the cases are a distraction.
 
Had a crazy thought. What if Apple did this on Tuesday....

iPhone 3GS - Same spec with big price drop to £199 on pre-paid/PAYG only - perfect for entry level users and emerging markets. Available in black only 8GB

iPhone 4S - Same design with spec bump and price drop - targetted at mid-range customers who want free phone on contract or PAYG for £299 16GB, £399 32GB

iPhone 5 - All new design with latest spec - targetted at high-end customers - PAYG prices £499 32GB, £599 64GB

iPod Touch 5 - Same design as new iPhone with lower spec in 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB versions for £199, £249, £329, £399

iPod Nano - Slightly modified to make it more "wearable" - 8GB and 16GB for £99 and £149

I thought that most music was already mastered with the expectation that you will be playing it on a MP3 player (or iPod)?
