yes, because i cant possibly see why holding a finger over a sensor for a moment would be hold more value over having to enter a password or pin every single time, for prying eyes.

??have you considered turning around while someone is looking? How do you use your debit card at a grocery store?
 
But I don't want a fingerprint scanner. I just want to replace my trusty iPhone 4. :(

Hopefully they announce both the 5S and 5C at the same time and then you can see which one best fits your needs? This is more or less where I find myself too. Wife needs a new phone as well, the 3g is getting a bit old now :eek:
 
First In LIne

Please, anyone already with an iPhone 5, don't buy this phone. Let us who will be getting their first iPhone have a chance at owning one. :cool:

Sorry - I'll be preordering online the moment the iPhone 5S is released. I have been looking forward to the next release for the last three months. I have the latest AirPort Extremes (802.11ac) in preparation of the new model iPhone.:D
 
:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Its quite sad really. Such an incremental upgrade that my expectations for this phone is down in the pits. Iphone 5 was a major letdown, this one is going to be the worst iphone upgrade ever. Period... besides MAYBE 4S (although Siri was a nice leap forward).

No bigger screen with an addition of a LED light and a fingerprint scanner. And you can get one that looks like piss. I am sure that will sell well with the urban crowd.
 
Well, it's not "for a whole quarter." Q3 ends at the end of September, so the 5S would've been selling for probably one weekend or little more.
Ah yeah, I missed that. Still, 3-4 million is a lot less than the 5 million in 2012.
 
Anyone else elated by this news? It will only add to the "Wow" factor of the 5S when everyone around me sees mine but can't actually order one themselves

But it will look just like an iPhone 5 (with possible new home button) therefore most won't be able to tell the difference, so not THAT wow afterall:D

I'd say the 4S was the best iPhone made. It fixed all the problems introduced in the 4 with touching the antenna by adding a second antenna that the phone could switch between. It also sorted the proximity sensor which cause the screen to come on mid call that the 4 suffered from.

The 5S, I doubt will be a significant improvement over the 5, unless they've managed to make the 5S unscratchable ;)
 
that's why i've decided to pre-order it, why take risks?:D
it's sure gonna be an awesome phone.
