Or maybe they were talking about something less known than a phone. Like a tv
If all this stuff turns out to be true, then Tim Cook sucks.
Non sequitur of the week.
I'd rather have triangle than circle, so that's fine
. If I recall, Nokia had a circle dumbphone that made the keypad rather ridiculous.
Apple is doing a great job at controlling these leaks, sending everyone down the wrong path until Sep 12 announcement
I hope that's sarcasm. It almost sounds like you haven't been around for past parts leaks.
Either Apple has a hole that's almost impossible to close or they don't want to close it. The pattern of parts leaks is getting so predictable.
Exactly. Why no leaks on the processor yet? Why no info on RAM? Talk about doubling down. By this stage in the cycle there was always stuff about web views with a new model number - not a peep this time. No processor info - does this mean it's only a 5 or 5X? There's been nothing on the A6 for over a year and only speculation on NFC - no parts. We haven't even had a screen to measure and count pixels yet. WTF.
And the name - why not a 4G. It's likely to have LTE and is as likely as the others. We've had a 3G and 3Gs, 4 and 4s. Or, and this could be a stretch seeing we're onto the iPad 3, no wait, what happened to the iPad 3? Could we be getting a new iPhone?

The nacho iPhone, sí... keyboard aligned with any edge you prefer, cam on opposite corner. I like it!

Haha, yea it seems like that doesn't it? I just left out the details in between since I figured that no one would really care about that anyways.
I guess I'm surprised by the Hammer being put to Mr. Cook. At the end of the day, once the product leaves the RD facility of the originating company, their ability to really control what get's out is practically nil.
And as has been mentioned previously, in the case of Apple, the appetite is so great that the motivation to find/create leaks is HUGE.
Nobody cares what's coming out of Samsung for obvious reasons, or Microsoft or Sony etc... The passion and the creativity of the products just isn't that great.
If Tim wants to "Double Down", then we're gonna pay a lot more, because stuff will have be be made at 1 Infinite Loop... With cavity searches at the end of every shift...

Its going to be interesting
Although I dont like the prospects of the new iPhone, I believe there must be something interesting behind all of this.
Either Apple is really leaking this on purpose and they will marvel the people with a good surprise, or Cooks double down on security is totally crap and they are coming with that long phone with different resolution and fragmented hardware for their software. I dont think its gonna fail, but Ill certainly wait a lot to see what the extra screen is gonna do in favor for the phone. They must have something interesting to see.

patience!! Based on past patterns, the shield will come off next and we'll start seeing chips.
Because the potential payoff from selling leaked parts might be worth several weeks/months salary.
Because A) they've never done it in the past and B) we'll eventually see it with the shields off containing new parts that will be too new to be from a past prototype.
To a lot of us it is just as reasonable that it "could" be called an iPhone 5.
The 2nd gen iPhone was called a 3G, the 5th gen was called a 4S. So why couldn't they chose to call the 6th gen a iPhone 5?
