Apple has a golden opportunity here to mock Samsung's ridiculous chaotic mess of a presentation with their own subdued simple style. They should make an ad to take advantage of it.
So we know what it looks like, and we know some software features. No mention of Android. No mention of NFC. No mention of wireless charging. We don't know the processor. We don't know the price. Do we know the release date? What else?

Sounds like the iPhone 5 launch
I found the upgrade from iPhone 4 to iPhone 5 to be excellent.
Would love to see some ads making fun of that train-wreck of a presentation, what the he$# was that? Embarrassing
Same. I didn't think it would be until I tried the iPhone 5. Although I don't have one, I've tried it. The difference between the 5 and my 4 is very noticeable.
WTF is the point of putting 1080p on a phone? that just kills the battery faster take performance away compared to if it was at 720p. The battery can be so much better if they stick with 720p. A lot of the features are gimmicky and I see no reason for someone that has a S3 to want a S4. Hell some of those features will even get ported to the S3 by some modder.
And the last time anyone complained a new iPhone wasn't fast enough to run apps? Oh right, never.
The Verge also considers it an S3 S:

I'll be patiently waiting for the X Phone.

baboon
I can't wait to go to my local VZ store and wave my arm around like a baboon with tourrettes. Sure, Samsung had all the hype for this launch but these "innovations" are becoming ridiculous. That ***** is more difficult than to just swipe your thumb across the screen.

Android 4.2.2. NFC was shown/mentioned several times. Wireless charging with Qi and a charge pad was shown at the event. Cpu is exynos 5 octa or snapdragon s4 in some regions. Release is april/may. Price wasn't exactly mentioned other than "premium".
The S3 was too big, and the S4 is still too big. But it might have been a good screen if it wasn't PenTile.
That's why they keep making phones larger and larger so that a higher mAh battery can be cramped into the phone. All those screen size debates are all about this.
You haven't been a member of these forums long, have you? Specs don't matter. Performance does.
But...quad core is two more cores, so it's better. Right?
I think the phone looks amazing. The specs & features are the best available in the current smartphone market.
Apple will certainly need to step up their game, because this single release is just 1 of many to come. Can't wait to see what the Note III will bring along with future Nexus devices.

you mean like the old apple circle jerks? there are old members here that are just interested in all types of gadgets and technology. considering that samsung is now the main competition, why is it not allowed to talk about it here? are you losing money or sleep because of it?
yeah I heard about it too, but I rather check it by myself when it launch in here this weekend.
The iPhone 5's dual core CPU was only just behind the quad core GS3. Cores don't matter if you don't have an OS that can use them.
I would like a voip phone with true unlimited Data and a low monthly bill.
Or just the ones we have but with a drop in monthly price after we pay off the 2 year subsidy contract. I understand that I am paying off the true price of the phone over 2 years. The phone companies are screwing you royally after that.
And better battery life. I want at LEAST 2 days without charging like my old RAZR Flip -Phone from the 90s
These are the kinds of features I care about.
The hardware is good enough. Not much else to do with the OS's either
