With all the wait, this update better blow people away or there will be a mass exitus.
 
Techically that could mean 3 weeks but I'm confident the Apple employee meant 2. So essentially the announcement will come at the very end of September and be available by mid-October by the latest.

Also, felt this was interesting:

"Sneaky public relations tactics aside, an engineer familiar with the new iPhone said it would be fairly different from the iPhone 4 — including on the inside. "

Including on the inside? Hell that could mean anything really. Beyond just a better processor, etc.

This is about to get very interesting. Very. At least it looks like we won't be disappointed with a simple spec update.
 
Don't take my word for it, but I'm pretty sure LTE may or may not be included in the iPhone 5 as well.

Also, mind reader module may or may not be included, access to FBI's national database may or may not be included, and just in, hot from the press, reversed engineered extraterrestrial material may or may not be included.
 
I'm loading up my tent and camping supplies now. I want to be the first one in line for the new iPhone. I hope I'll be on the 11:00 news.

My god, if people are not blown away Apple is going to have to fold it's tent and steal away in the night. Oh, the shame!! :p

There may not be an exitus, but there might be an exodus.( Yes, I'm a putz for doing that:eek: ;))
 
The news post photo got my heart racing until I released it was just another rumor. That and Steve Jobs was center stage.

It would nice if it's out before Xmas,
Would love to add it to my wish list.
If it's a good upgrade, new design more power etc

But if it's just a speed boost,
Forget it.
 
If by October 6th, there is no OFFICIAL news on an iPhone 5, I'm buying an android. I'm done, I quit, I have been able to get a subsidized upgrade from AT&T SINCE FEBRUARY, but no, I waited. Then I waited some more, and more and more.

I don't want to wait anymore. My phone is Junk, and I'm moving ahead with or without a stupid iPhone.
 
I'm stilling rolling with the first-gen iPhone. NFC capability is the last thing I care about in my next iPhone refresh. Seriously.

But then some of us live in countries where NFC payments are accepted everywhere. And I do mean EVERYWHERE: ticket gates at train stations, convenience stores, vending machines, buses, bars and restaurants, coffee shops, electronics stores, etc. Having NFC on the iPhone would be incredibly useful, which is why other phone manufacturers have been offering it on their handsets for years.
 
Will it be a few weeks until they announce the announcement, or will they announce the phone in a few weeks? I'm really confused.
