Chaos. It will have LTE though. It's soooo fast!

My moms Verizon iPad (3rd gen) loads pages faster than mine (3rd gen) on my wifi!

This has been discussed a lot, but I wonder truly how fast. Could the iPhone slow down the LTE networks simply due to the vast increase in users?
 
So this is just speculation from some wall street analyst who claims to have inside knowledge within Apple's supply chain?
 
Keep the current thickness and use the extra room for a bigger battery.
The problem with this idea, is there is _no_ problem.

If they kept it the same thickness and added more battery capacity that would be a flawed idea, since it employs common sense.

Another reason this is a very bad decision is that many of us would enjoy the phone even more.

Then there's the dreadful aspect of a heavier battery. Chances are it'd weigh at least 1 oz. more, who could possible hold up that much weight? :eek:
 
Ok, Mr. Ive, how much thinner do we really need these phones to be? Keep the thickness and give me a 20 hour battery.
 
Having a larger aperture means it lets in more light...which should mean less noise...

My thoughts exactly, the F2.2 will be awesome and definitely decrease noise because more available light. Another factor is the pixel pitch which is determined by sensor size and the amount of pixels.
 
How many rumor-mills are correct?

Anytime the article names "unamed sources", call B.S. Why would they change the form factor? If they did, wouldn't you be seeing lots of photos from case manufacturers? My guess is the smaller internal parts are required because a 4G chipset is a powerhog and will require a larger battery. I'll bet $10 this guy is wrong and I'm right, any takers?
 
Anyone want to admit that FaceTime is overrated ?

What happened to making it open like Steve jobs promised during his keynote?

That was his dying wish I believe

Honestly FaceTime makes us all look fat.

I'm not fat for the record

^ yeah plus the weird thingy where if you want to look at the image of the person that your talking to, you will in fact appear to them to be looking at their chin. You know the whole eye contact vs looking at the camera paradox. i don't think that it is quite intuitive enough now, with out the camera being inside the display. *hint hint apple* ;)
 
So, it appears that iPhone 5 will use the same Sony sensor as Samsung Galaxy SIII. Marginal changes in aperture, lens design etc. will do very little to improve the quality of the camera. In the end, the major problems with phone cameras - tiny sensors and no optical zoom are here to stay. Anybody who wants a really better camera should look at P&S cameras, mirrorless cameras and DSLRs.
 
How? The 3GS was the 3rd iPhone, the iPhone 4 was the 4th iPhone.

You are both wrong. And using that logic the iPhone 3G should have been called the iPhone 2 because it was the 2nd iPhone.

Look, the new iPhone is whatever Apple chooses to call it. You can use logic saying "the iPhone 3GS was the 3rd iPhone", well the iPhone 3G was the 2nd iPhone and the iPhone 4S is the 5th iPhone... so what?

Apple could call it iPhone 5 and that's what it would be called. It doesn't matter if it is not actually 5th iPhone because their numbering system in the past hasn't always corosponded to anyting at all, and quite frankly doesn't have to.

Some have suggested the iPhone be called iPhone 2012 or iPhone 2013, etc.. The problem with this is that some carriers don't get the updated phones until the following year, and this would lead to further confusion.
 
Is there any doubt that the iPhone 5 will have the best smart phone camera when it comes out? I don't even have to see the phone first to know this. Apple absolutely owns all other smart phones when it comes to camera quality.
 
Awesome, now when people record their videos in portrait mode, the youtube videos will be even skinnier than before.
 
Nobody calls it the iPad 3
Wrong. I call it the iPad 3 as it seems silly to call it "the new iPad" as time wears on. What I can assert, is that "nobody" misinterprets me when I write iPad 3: not now and not a year from now if someone stumbles upon an old thread.

CRIPES! The iPhone 4S is the iPhone 5! How freakin' stupid are some people?!

Thats a lot of negative vote downs for the comment. I wonder is it because people don't know how to count or don't like to be called stupid when they are called out on it. Given that most people know significantly more that any average apple consumer on this forum should know better than to keep calling upcoming iPhone "iPhone 5" :eek:
 
They really need to increase battery capacity. The 4S was a step backwards in that department, IMO.

But yet the 4th iPhone made ended up being called iPhone 4...Sure they don't have to call the next one iPhone 6 and they probably will not based on New iPad but I'm quire sure they will not call it iPhone 5

Apples cameras are definitely not the best mobile camera, the best right now is to my knowledge the Nokia 808 PureView with it's 41MP camera.

Let's just say Apple makes the best mainstream smartphone camera. The truth is that the Nokia 808 PureView is just a gimmick.
