you try texting the person working in a call center you need an item for your production line shipped within 4 business days. let me know how that works out for you.

Why would I do that? I don't have a production line, and I'm ready to wager that *most* other people don't have one, either.
 
Full 64GB

I have been looking forward to the new phone, I am always removing Apps, movies etc to gain space. Already have Match. Am just plain out of space. Heavy user all day and night. Need a phone that works as I do. Battery needs to be improved too.
 
Seems to work well enough for me, but then again I don't listen to music a whole lot on my phone. Only error I have noticed is that it randomly shows up doubles of a song in the list.


I went with Amazon Cloud instead for my music needs as it works across a wide variety of devices, like my Roku player, and Android tablet, in addition to the Apple devices I have. It also was much easier to upload my music collection there than when I tried doing it with iTunes.
 
Wrong. Color gamut, CPU speed.

If you didn't have access to benchmark test results etc you wouldn't even be able to notice any difference between the two.

Apple does not mention these minute differences on its website because they are insignificant.

I cannot notice any speed difference between my iPhone 5S or iPad Air. I suspect even if the speed was tested the iPad wouldn't even be up to a second faster. We're talking hundredths of a second here which nobody will notice in day to day use. Who will sit on a train on the way home say oh my iPad is .0001 seconds faster than my iPhone.
 
It does count in for example software video decoding. (See my dedicated articles - there are tons of them.)

iPad Air is clocked at 1.4ghz and the iPad mini retina is clocked at 1.3ghz. The iPhone 5S is also at 1.3ghz. They all run the A7 chip, so in real world terms the iPad Air would complete tasks no more than a few seconds faster than the other two. Totally unnoticeable to the vast majority of users.

Its like when people say PC graphics for games are vastly superior to those on consoles. From what I've seen theres no difference between the two. My friend cranked up all the settings to max on the Crysis games and I didn't see anything spectacular compared to console games.

In the end its down to the individual. I suspect 90% of those who own iPhones and iPads have no idea what processor speeds they are running at or what colour gamut each one has.

I'm hoping the 128GB storage (if that even happens) is available for both phones. Not everybody wants the bigger 5.5in model but they shouldn't have to sacrifice storage, IMO of course. September can't get here fast enough, though. It's almost that time of the year, guys #
 
I really hope this isn't the case. I've been waiting for a 128gb version so that I can have it synch all of my music automatically and not have to worry about manually synching, or having to keep my old iPod classic in the car. But, I have tiny hands and the iPhone 5 I have now is pretty much the perfect size. The Galaxy S2 I had previously a bit bigger and I actually loved the change. Plus pockets on women's clothing are notoriously useless and the S2 only barely fit in half of my jeans. :mad:
