I think hitting the middle ground is better - 4.2/4.3" is about right for comfort and usability, with newer screen tech should be able to squeeze into the current form factor really and would make web page text far easier to read...

iOS 6 was released on Wednesday September 19, and the iPhone 5 came out on Friday the 21st - both of them the week after the Tuesday the iPhone 5 was announced.

So I would expect the same.

I considered that before I made my prediction. It seems that in some cases they have seeded the release a few days ahead of new hardware to give them time to react to any show stoppers prior to millions of people getting their new devices in the mail.

This year with iOS 7, I have a feeling that they may not be as concerned given that everyone is going to complain anyway since it is so different from iOS 6.

I wouldn't be surprised either way.

For anyone struggling to get TV4 on iPad/iPhone, there is an app:

I've just downloaded that to my iPad and its working on other streams absolutely fine. The apple stream wont be live until 5 mins before the start of the event so you won't see too much from that for a little while yet!

It helps spread the pain in regards to their servers.

I think there was one year when they tried to release a bit too much on the same day and it didn't work out very well.

I assumed the spread was to lighten the load on the servers and tech staff (downloads for upgrades and activations for new people). If I'm right then it will be even more important to spread them out this year given the high interest in iO7.

I'm a grown man with a car, a house, a dog and a long term partner and loads more important things to worry about.
Why do I still react like a 5 year old at Christmas every time a shiny new Apple toy is release?
