Right about what, exactly? He's mad and venting. I don't recall a debate with opposing views where he provided evidence that he was right and the other party was wrong.

He's right that these discussions are filled with people criticizing the iPhone and that they should get over it, buy an SIII and move on to the SIII forums and bug Samsung. Saying, " Well t3h SIII HAS DIZZZ!!! AND HAS DAT!!!! APPLE OOOOO...YOU NEED TO FIX YOUR ****!!!! YOU SUCK APPLE, I HATE MY iPHONE WE ALL GUNNA LEAVE! " really gets irritating. Vote with your wallet. Take a look through the last few pages and see how many similar posts you spot chuckling at the iPhone and how many people saying they're just gunna Samsung it up?

I paid dearly for the iPhone 5 not very long ago and now its technology is nearly outdated by comparison to this rumor.
 
All-new UI, with Android-level customizability while keeping the great iOS ecosystem, and make Siri a tool that is actually useful.
A bigger screen and a 12MP camera is also welcome, along with some revolutionary technologies :)

This is a forum, it's what we do here. If you don't want to hear it, forums are not the place for you. So no, he isn't right. No one is going to stop because you get irritated. The change will have to come from him (or you if you feel the same way) You'll need to ignore it, get used to it or find a way to avoid it. People are going to say what they want and no one cares how you feel about it. Welcome to life.
 
Anyone else doubting a fingerprint scanner?

You're definitely not alone with this one. I just don't think it'll happen this year.

Don't care. Bring on iOS7 with some Ive influence.

Agreed. At this point I care more about the software than the hardware. I wouldn't even care if they didn't release a new iPhone this year if they released a super awesome iOS 7.

So I don't really care about a fingerprint scanner...but people might be missing the bigger picture here: a touch sensitive home button.

That means they can add new gestures, like touch & hold to bring up multitasking (rather than double click) and swiping on the home button to quickly switch apps.

Now that would be one thing that I would actually want on a new iPhone.

I've been wishing for a capacitive home button to replace the physical one. And adding gestures to that would just be the icing on the cake.
 
iOS 7 features that will make the iPhone 5S amazing...

1. Siri now supports Russian
2. Foursquare integration
3. Photo Stream now has video
4. New font in Notes app
5. New redesigned iTunes and App Store
6. 4 new wallpapers
7. iPad Clock app icon for iPhone

:eek:
 
It's more likely to be the other way around. Quad core CPU and a very similar GPU. Maybe with a 4th core and higher clock.

That's the opposite way of efficiency, and against the trend of GPUs dominating die space in apple SoCs. There's no reason to believe they'll add a quad core CPU just because. It's more likely they'll make small core modifications like Qualcomm has done with Krait.

The GPU will almost certainly update to ImgTec's Rogue cores.
 
It's possible Apple will introduce several new features with iOS 7 exclusive to the 5S, iPad 5 and iPad mini 2. If the hardware is not compelling enough, what else can they do?
 
So would we be seeing iOS 7 before WWDC then? Makes me skeptical there will be any big changes. I mean Federighi and Ive only took over this past November. How much could they really do in a few months?

What is missing from the hardware?

You forgot

8. Phone numeric pad back to black (or you can now switch between black & white)
 
That would be pretty sweet to have a finger print sensor on the home button. Glad to see them coming out with the 5S a lot sooner than fall

Exactly... and no... I don't need to ignore it, get used to it or even need to follow your advice. I think you should follow your OWN advice: People are going to say what they want and no one cares how you feel about it. And I'm one of those people expressing his opinion, and his agreement of another person's opinion. He hit the nail on the head about all you moaning crybabies. Just F off to another company already. Jeez. ;)

Bigger screen, or more to the point to give those who want a larger screen the choice while giving those who feel a 4" screen is big enough what they want. Like with the iPad and iPad mini. A redesign that lifts Apple stock and gives us the same feeling that we had during the summer of 2010. Many of the people who say they don't want a larger screen will be the same people who praise it when it comes. AAPL can't wait until the summer of 2014 for a turnaround.:eek:

I don't think you're being serious, but about the Notes app: Why can't we choose a font besides the ones it gives us? Two of them suck anyway.

I get a kick out of thin skinned individuals like yourself. I think I'll stay and contribute to your annoyance. I hope Apple helps by continuing to release mediocre products.

Anger management would do you a world of good.
