You are correct of course and just maybe, since we didn't see any front assembly's for upcoming iPhone refresh, Apple will surprise us all and introduce 4.7" screens. Wishful thinking, but you never know...No-one knew anything about the new Mac Pro.
To forget something, it had to exist in the first place.
What is it with with all of you "one handed" iPhone use guys?Glad when it'll come out.
Don't care for the larger screen. Having used a larger HTC device before, the bigger screen isn't all that. Can't use it with a single hand.
I'd rather keep with current iphone dimensions. Leaving a 4s.
What would make you upgrade (besides screen size)? And is Apple really expecting a lot of 5 users to upgrade to the 5S or is this more geared towards those who are currently using a 4/4S? I know I won't be upgrading because my 2 year contract isn't up.
Many people have been using Apple products long before the joined up this rumour website.So far, the earliest MR join date has been 2006, yet most posters seem to be Apple experts.
Woooah look at Mr. Fancy over here flaunting his money... Overcompensating much?lol... Are you actually serious? Most won't buy the top of the line? Thats why they don't price them that way of course...
That's like saying that people will only buy the entry iPad/iPod because they don't want to pay any more!
For the record, I will be walking out with 3 of the top of the range ones when they are first released, and no, sadly, pretty colours or price won't affect my decision.
Speaking of things we don't know. We do not know what the profit margin on the 5C will even be. It's not out of the realm of possibility that due to lower component costs and manufacturing costs that the 5C could have a larger margin for profit. Heck we don't even know what the price is going to be.
finally, some good sense!
I still have a tiny bit of unreasonable hope that Tim Cook only doubled down on secrecy for the bigger iPhone![]()
Yes I have used phones with bigger screens. And while I do like the htc one and all I just have really small girly hands and it doesn't work for me. Different strokes for different fokes as the old saying goes lol.Honestly, have you ever tried holding a 4.3" or higher phone and actually playing with it for a while? A lot of people seem to b**** about a bigger sized phone cuz either they can't hold it right or it won't fit in your pocket. I'll admit, I used to be one of those people cuz I was just making assumptions.
My friend then let me play around with his HTC One and it actually feels really nice with my medium-sized hands and fits perfectly in my skinny jeans. After a while of playing with the bigger screen, I went back to my iphone and felt like my display shrunk.
It should've been obvious with leaks of the 5S from a few months ago.
Well goodbye, then.
.. and this is why Android is destroying iOS now. Year after year of the same stupid updates. A tiny CPU upgrade, a little better camera, and some random feature no one really cares about. Get your **** together, Apple.![]()
3,5" (was) perfect size
4,0" (is) perfect size
4,5" (will be) perfect size
I want the best iPhone but what you have listed above wouldn't make me upgrade from my iPhone 5. Slight upgrades in each area isn't worth the £600 it would cost to buy the 32GB version, assuming prices stay the same.
I'm in a very similar position.
I've been using each new iPhone model concurrently with each new Galaxy S series Android since the beginning. Frankly to be very candid, the many years I've been an Apple computer user dating back to System 7, has created a certain bond with the brand. So entertaining the idea of giving up on iPhone is hard.
While I will continue to use Apple computers, the thought of walking away from the iPhone is sad, yet Apple has forced me to take a hard look at any further investment in iOS. Google & Samsung have done such an exemplary job with my Galaxy S4, it's nearly perfect. At the least for my very heavy daily usage it's extremely fun, fast , and reliable. That in combination with my new 2013 Nexus 7.2, make for the type of fun experience that used to be Apples expertise.
I had an excellent experience with my iPhone 4S, however by then it's display was quite tiny by comparison to my spacious Samsung display. When one uses both platforms at the same time, the iPhones tiny screen becomes a real productivity killer.
But I've waited patiently for iPhone 6, the phone that created a lot of buzz & rumors flew that it might follow iPhone 5. That was a long time ago, and now it's readily apparent that Apples ego & greed prevailed thinking they can extend their profit taking scheme with the 5S and make us wait, yet another year.
At a bare minimum my plan is to pass on the 5S and maybe stick with my iP5 on iOS 6 which is serving me well. Then just sit back & wait while enjoying my Galaxy S4 which is _the_ single best Android next to my Nexus 4 & HTC One, that I've owned.
It was researched, tested, and proven by Consumer Reports. It was then acknowledged by Apple themselves.
You are in denial, Sir.
And this is what a lot of people have forgotten. When the iPhone first came out, 3.5 inches was what we were told, "The Perfect Size" of screen.
After a few years Apple must of been feeling the pressure from consumers for a larger screen, so they released the iPhone 5. This phone was quoted as having "The Perfect Screen Size" by Apple.
Here we are now in the third quarter of 2013 and some of us are asking for a screensize of about 4.3 or 4.5 inches and the followers on here are up in arms.
Why weren't you same people up in arms when it went from 3.5 to 4 inches?
I find it very hypocritical of those same people demanding their screen stay 4 inches.
Apple will do whatever is in their best interest to their consumer base, and to sell phones. If the demand for a larger screen is there, then they will increase the screen eventually. I am sure Apple is aware of the demand and possibility of doing it, just not in 2013.
See, I just don't get this. First of all, who has two cell phones? Why would anybody need two cell phones? Is one number for your mistress, and one for your wife? Do you just have too much money and need to spend it on redundant technology? You even say you use both at the same time. What? Why?
Then you talk about waiting for the iPhone 6 for all these years. Yeah, guess what, the iPhone 5 was the iPhone 6. This new phone coming out, that'll probably be named iPhone 5S, that's the iPhone 7. You imagined in your head a device that was not technically feasible at the time at reasonable prices, imagined that Apple would bring it out with a set of steak knives (or some other absurd things), and that Apple would break their naming scheme just for you. When that didn't happen, you felt disappointed, not in yourself for believing a bunch of nonsense, but at Apple for not being a magical wishing lamp. Get over it. iPhone 6 is already out. It just wasn't named what you wanted it named.
So what, you're going to switch to another phone OS? What, precisely, does that other phone have at the time of the iPhone's release, not six or ten months later, that is so amazing? A dinky stylus? Gestures that don't work properly? A larger screen that's not efficiently used by apps because the app was designed for some other subset of screen resolutions or shapes due to a fragmented platform? Some other gimmick, like missed calls that won't go through when the OS gets unstable from all the hacks, ruining its core functionality?
Okay, by all means, go switch. Considering how many people switch back, I just assume you're coming back again. Do we really need all this drama in the meantime, where you announce your intentions to a bunch of iPhone users who really couldn't care less what you do? Just go quietly, if you're going. If you're not going, then quit your whining, and admit you prefer iOS or you would've switched long ago, since apparently, Android phones are just amazing. Apple sells insane numbers of iPhones every year, compared to all those other phones. Apple's going to have yet another record quarter selling iPhones and iPads this fall and winter. Apple doesn't need your help to sell phones. They don't care that you like this gimmick or that gimmick, Apple knows what features are pointless to the majority of users, and knows what to leave out. They're not going for the best spec sheet, they're going for the best core experience. Their customers are retained at incredible rates, and Apple keeps selling to new customers too. You can scream and yell about how Apple needs to make a phone with a bigger screen, but Apple doesn't care about your niche market, and doesn't need your niche market. Apple keeps selling more phones. Get over it, and leave the (growing) rest of us alone.
All you are is just a troll, looking for attention.
