Live Coverage of Apple's iPhone 5 Media Event [Event Over]

[KPOM]

Wow Apple put more effort in the new Touch than they did with the new iphone.

Perhaps it just seems that way since the iPod Touch is now basically on par with the iPhone which it hadn't been for a while.

 

[Rad99004]

Really disappointed. wanted a wider iphone..

Looks like Samsung will be busy selling phones today.

"3 years designing new earphones"

they had to make sure a full 100% of the sheeple will be unable to hear their fellow pedestrians and/or oncoming cars while walking down the sidewalk.

 

[Krandor]

Not quite my point, just seems a bit like buying a car with 3 wheels instead of 4, a few people have done it, there seems to be no good reason to do so however.

But there is a good reason. If I want a music player only and don't want to pay a monthly fee to a cell phone provider. The no monthly fee but still being able to access teh apple app store is a big selling point for many people.

iCloud Tabs??

Someone please remind me of Chrome and patents..

 

[Mac21ND]

It's so hokey. Apple is getting a little cheesy and iPods are looking pretty childish it seems.

iPods are really for tweens and teenagers who don't have a cell phone - that's the primary market for them.

 

[Lark.Landon]

To my knowledge they do this anytime to update their product line up. So with it looking like they will have ...iTunes update,iPod update,iPod nano update...iPhone.. All text, graphics,info on these products need to be put on their site.
But it could also mean Pre-orders are today....I just hope they don't start Pre-orders today.

Iphone 5… preorder 9/14, ship 9/21, IOS6 release date 9/19

The nano was cool because you could make it into a watch. What are we going to do now?

Buy a real watch and not look like some poser hipster.

 

[BornAgainMac]

I am not going to put those ear plugs in my ear. They scare me for some reason. Apple Mind Meld.

 

[gto55]

IMHO, the iPod touch design should have been used for the new iphone...
And what can we say about the new nano... looking like a Lumia or 5 years old samsung yepp

 

[samcraig]

So will this company: http://cybusindustries.net/about.htm

A) Sue Apple
B) Already have been paid off by Apple to use EarPods
C) Be seen as money grubbing trademark opportunists.

There isn't just one right answer here folks...

 

[J.acks]

They probably waste to much effort in revamping the iPod that they can't be bothered with the iPhone...

 

[Dusky600]

someone shoot the nano on the screen please, it looks like a cheap knockoff

 

[mdelvecchio]

It's so hokey. Apple is getting a little cheesy and iPods are looking pretty childish it seems.

who do you think the future market belongs to -- tech nerds, or kids? if you dont court kids w/ music players (who later turn into phone & laptop customers) youre crazy.

 

[Icaras]

Bring back "One More Thing", Tim.

 

[Sequin]

Heck with the nano. I'll just buy a new iPod classic. Get back to me when they add way more space.

 

[rgarjr]

WTH happened to the Classic update, isn't that considerend an iPod?

 

[thefourthpope]

It's so hokey. Apple is getting a little cheesy and iPods are looking pretty childish it seems.

I'm excited for the previous nano to get a price cut. I think I prefer that form factor, but I've been holding off buying

 

[Oohara]

Bring back "One More Thing", Tim.

Time to give us the Ipad Mini or papa spank.

 

[Hephaestus]

Wow those new Nanos are a blatant rip off of the lumia phones, disgraceful Apple.

 

[ufwa]

seriously they should've just dropped the 4th gen ipod touches. why even keep it around. 32gb 4th gen @ $249? Might as well buy the 5th gen ones.

 

[ArcaneDevice]

64GB flash capacity still, after all these years?

"We love music"

Yeah, sure.

Pathetic.

 

[MMOTotal]

Time to give us the Ipad Mini or papa spank.

Why would they do that today, most likely at the ipad event next year.

 

[WeegieMac]

Can someone explain to me the point of an iPod touch? Why not just get an iPhone?

Is this the most pointless product Apple make?

Because people want the premium iOS experience without being tied to a contract and with a lower cost outlay.

It's not rocket science.

 

[Dusky600]

Looks like ipad mini in october
