More interested in iOS 5 than iPhone 5

I'm exactly the same, iOS 5 is what interests me the most. Although I will be upgrading to iPhone 5 anyway.
Just hope Apple will implement some of the features that's been widely talked about in so many of the posts in the forum ie. better notification system and lock screen information.

I won't be upgrading my iP4 so iOS 5 is the only thing I am looking forward to. I love iOS 4, but I do think some changes need to be made. Fingers crossed.
What type of random question is this?
Of course for anyone that isn't upgrading then the iPhone 5 isn't that big of a deal...
What is there to discuss?
I already have everything that the iOS 5 is going to have
With a jailbroken iPhone
Im waiting for the iphone 5

Anybody else with me?
I know pretty much what iPhone 5 is going to be, however more than iPhone 5 I'm interested in iOS 5. Very interested in it.
So the real big event for me is in April, and then June is a nice dessert!
Well, can't you say the same thing about iOS 5?
We all have a vague idea of what both will be.
I can't wait for both, no use choosing which excites me more.
If iPhone 5 does not support 4G/LTE, then I'll likely be sticking with my 3GS... But I really don't see how Apple could be so stupid not to support LTE at this point. They will really be loosing market share to Google devices if that is the case. The dual-core HTC phones will also be out this summer, and Motorola is ready to release theirs in the next month or so... Both will support 4G.
I don't know what IOS5 will have, but I can't really say that there is much I am missing... At least not much that AT&T would let me have anyways.

Even for people upgrading, IMO iOS 5 is more interesting.
If the iPhone 5 has a metal back and a larger screen I may be tempted to sell my 3GS. Not really excited for iOS 5 otherwise as I will be getting a crappy watered down version. Thats the main thing I like about android: even the G1 gets the latest updates through the XDA community.
Yes I agree, we are getting to the point where CPU power and a lot of that stuff is going to be overkill unless we start getting new features to actually use it. I am mainly referring to after we get the a5 dual core in the iPhone , I think apple neeeds to do something like the atrix and be able to dock it to a laptop.
What if the iPhone 5 has a feature that makes you sammiches and does your laundry? Then you wouldn't have everything that iOS 5 would have.. Don't under estimate what Apple is capable of doing.

iPhone 5 won't have LTE.
I'll be rolling my 4 for about a month until I can walk in and get a Verizon 5 so iOS5 is also what I'm more interested in. Plus we already have a good idea of what the iPhone 5 will be and no idea what the next iOS update will bring.

IMO, I am more excited by the iPhone5
I absolutely love the iPhone4 and enjoy refreshing my phone every year. I can't wait to get a phone with more RAM, more space, and a better antenna

iPhone 5 for me too. I love my iPhone 4 but I am willing to buy iPhone 5 as soon as it goes on sale. I am not an ipad person so new iphones are for me.
MBA + iPhone =

Both interest me equally.
Hardware is nothing without software, and vice versa.
Apple really needs to step up the hardware and software to compete.
I'm hoping for iOS 5 to make use of that powerful Dual Core and GPU, and give us a much better experience.
Biggest thing i'm looking forward to from iOS 5 is a notification system, and a way to turn multitasking on/off along with a 'kill all apps' button.
Hardware-wise, i'm looking forward to a larger screen the most.

i am anticipating quite an overhaul on how we will use the iOS. new notifications is what everybodys talking about, but i think it will be more efficient multitasking with the introduction of launchpad into the iOS... bringing OS X and iOS one step closer to each other.
The LTE networks won't be robust enough for another year. There simply is not enough coverage yet. So the premise of lost share to something that does not address the bulk of the market doesn't make a lot of sense. Apple did the same with the original phone and did fine.
Not to mention, I get the sense that the carriers are going to do the same as the cable/satellite companies, charge a premium for the 4g service until it is fully built out.
Almost my thoughts exactly, but was thinking it could dock with an iPad like device. Why pay twice for CPU's etc. when the iPhone CPU9(s) can be shared with an iPad? If Apple were serious about being environmentally friendly, there'd be no alternative to such an arrangement.
I really do hope we get something much better but I fear Apple will be complacent and not recognise the competition when it comes to advancements.
IMHO option one:
Same phone, same screen size, same OS but with themes, widgets and better notifications, A5 chip and better camera/sensor.
Option two:
Same phone but tweaked antenna band, non-glass back, 3.8" screen, same OS but with themes, widgets and better notifications, A5 chip and better camera/sensor.
I don't think "iOS5" is going to knock anyone's socks off.
agreed, if people cant plug there phone into their PC and click "jailbreak now" for all those themes, widgets, and notifications then why would they be excited when/if apple released those features?
