I feel like every year there are a few people just waiting for a few bad reports of the same thing to make up a new "gate" and get everyone riled up. It's really starting to get annoying.

So this year, I'm calling instigate. Not about the phone, but the people who won't stop making up widespread issues.
 
Who knew that the most memorable thing Steve Jobs ever said would be the use of "antenna-gate"?

Hmm actually, who knew Steve Jobs was the person that created this "gate" nonsense? I think a lot of people forget that.

So let's all honor his memory by nitpicking the iPhone and adding -gate to every issue it may or may not have. :D
 
I'm going with home button based on initial impressions. It won't matter to me because I've used Android phones with on screen buttons. But people that have been in the Apple camp for a while may be turned off by it.

I won't even entertain jet black or water proofing issues because Apple has already came out and gave their 2 cents on the matter. That the jet black is delicate so you need a case and that the phone is basically water resistant, not water proof. I could see the lightning jack being a problem but that will take time to pop up.
 
I WILL hate. There's already a thread with the SAME title. The childishness of this forum is causing me to re-think being here.

If the mods would add back the down vote button, it would be MUCH easier.
No instead the mods routinely ban people that respond to stupidity. They like this place being covered in garbage.
