iPhone 5 and iPad Mini to be Announced on September 12th with iPhone 5 Release September 21st

Still missing the point. Ask anyone who doesn't spend all day on Mac rumours type forums what the new iPhone will be called, they'll say "iPhone 5". Apple will know this, they won't want to cause confusion amongst their mass customers. I'm not questioning that the phone is the 6th generation, I'm just saying that's not what it will be called. It may well just be called new iPhone but it won't be called iPhone 6, feel free to come back here and laugh at me relentlessly if I'm wrong.

Honestly I think that you are missing the point. MacRumors ARE the people calling it the iPhone 5. All these geek websites that supposedly only geeks view ARE calling it the 5. This is entirely incorrect.

I think that MacRumors should start calling it the 6th Gen iPhone instead to avoid this naming feud.
 
If that's the actual iPhone, then i'm skipping it and sticking with my 4S. Looking forward to the 2014 iPhone then!

That's what I said about the iPhone 4!! I kept my HTC Evo 4G. Jesus, how I hated that iPhone design, such a box. But after I had it in my hand a couple of weeks ago, it wasn't so bad. Now that Sprint has the iPhone, I can't wait to have it. You have a 4S! Don't you wait 2 years to get the new model? ;)

I'm talking about all the people on this site banging on about it definitely being called iPhone 6, not the site itself.
 
I have the Nexus tablet and while it's a great little machine, it's just that....little. I love the iPad's larger, higher resolution screen and the apps to go with it (nexus has very few tablet specific apps). The smaller size provides extra portability and lower costs but I've come to find out it's not for me.

While I would love to see a mini iPad, I'm still gunning for the original. The 9.7" screen is the best size for a true tablet.

Wrong. It doesn't sound like the "iPad mini" is small enough to fit in a pocket. I use my Touch everyday. And have no desire to use my 4s in its place once it dies.

Besides, a mini iPad already exists... The Touch. :p

I reckon Apple feels that a cheap iPhone is prob the way to go, pretty much the same product, just slimmer.
 
Apple is Supreme!

September 21st is going to be an awesome day in Apple History. I can hardly wait! iPad mini sounds good to me. Hopefully Mac Mini will be updated by then too. I've been saving my money! :cool:

I made some changes in Pixelmator (like photoshop). I centered the back camera, clone stamped the antenna gaps out. It went from meh to gorgeous, imo.

Cool. You took a functional camera phone and turned it into a brick.
Cuz we all know that signal reception and being able to hear the person at the other end are secondary to looks.
You must be so proud.
;)
 
I'm sure this has been posted before, but I really hate that they moved headphone jack to the bottom of the phone (if that's what that hole is). What's the purpose? I hated that with the nano (or was it the mini) iPod. It's just awkward.

In any case, if this is the real design (with the re-design of dock connector), I'll pass for several months months at least. I have to see how the "adapters" work with existing products.
 
well

the release is all good and dandy, but i still wont be able to get the iphone until December 21st,2012 my upgrade date i swear verizon is getting more ridiculous with its upgrade dates, first it was 1 year now 20 months who know it may take 2 1/2 years just to freakin upgrade. i guess the only good thing is that by december ill have to fight some soccer mom for the new iphone during the holiday season. good grief
 
I really doubt this. I think that they are two very important products to anounce them on the same day. iPad mini will probably out with the ipad 4. For september, iPhone5, iOS6 and ipod line update is more than enough. (commercially talking)
 
The release date doesn't matter to me. My upgrade date is in April anyway. I don't get VZ's "new every 2" premise when it's actually 18 months. I guess "new every 1.5" doesn't roll off the tongue the same way. :eek:
 
Hey that's relatively soon! I'm very interested to see how the iPad mini will turn out. I want to see what that form factor is like in real life...!
 
There's already an iPad mini (or at least a mini version of the original iPad) the iPod touch. All apple need to do is update it and bring it in line with iPad 3 spec.:)

Yes I have a theory:

Iphone 5 8GB silver and white
Iphone 5 16GB silver and white
Iphone 5 16GB Liquid blue metal (£100 more expensive)?

and so on...

The liquid metal could be a premium extra and the silver just using the Iphone 4S material?

Explains the two different colours. One must be a high end one.

Remember, Apple is against choices.

The only exception thus far is their tendency to paint them black or white. In an effort to increase their profit per unit, it appears that only one hue will be offered on this model. Every penny they can save, makes a huge difference when selling the massive quantities, they do.

I believe cost keeps liquid metal out of the picture for now, since this is the warmed over version of last years phone.

It's a golden opportunity for Apple to milk the last drop out of this cash cow.
 
New releases are WAY too soon...

Honestly, I love the improvements, but newer versions are coming out WAY too fast!!! I don't know about anyone else, but I can't afford to upgrade every time, especially since the prices are relatively high. AND in addition to, you pay for the sales tax based on the "value" of the product, not the "price" you bought it for...

That's exactly what I was thinking.
 
With a shattered back screen and a stuck lock button; this phone is well worth waiting to trade in this POS 4 for a new 5. Glad I never bought the 4s.
