iPhone 5 / iPad Nano Info

[Hotsauce]

I was at Best Buy yesterday, they were saying that Apple is having a press conference in the next couple of weeks to announce the newest additions.

Some iphone improvements they talked about was:

4" Larger screen, bigger phone

Actual speakers on the bottom of the phone

They are changing the charger on it, apparently they old chargers will not work

It will be 4g compatible

The back of the phone will be metal, not glass

And the iPad nano is basically a mini iPad. It's gonna be priced around $200-$250 to compete with the kindle fire. It will only have 8gb also.

I am not going to rush to get the phone, but it will def be my next purchase!

Great.... New IOS updates to make my iPhone 3G even slower. I guess it's about time to update.

800$ for the new iPhone

I just bought a 4, they can kiss my ass.

Will be at my local AT&T store the day the 5 comes out. Still got the 4, eligible for an upgrade and I'll renew my contract anyways.

Will most likely get in February when my contract runs out

[Lumps]

yea with a contract they're pretty cheap. I renew anyways as well, I bought the 4s about a year and a half ago and will certainley get the 5 about 6 months after it is out. Best phone i have ever had, finally a glitch free phone. I wonder if the fact the original google guy had less of an influence if that will matter. New chargers seems like a money skeem...why new chargers? I have like 20 other of their fuging product and now I need seperate chargers...you know they could make that poo backwards compatible at least, it is a USB after all I doubt that changes.

[Chimera]

Will the new charger mean docking stations are now obsolete?

Jobs was the master of making his own products obsolete in order to sell new.

The iPad nano does seem pretty sweet though.

I just wish they'd go back with the iPod classic. New stuff doesn't have enough HDD space. That's the only reason I went with the iPod over the other products at the time. My first was a 60 GB 5 th generation. It quickly got filled, then stolen. Then I went with the 160 GB classic.

Come on apple, where are the 256 GB SSDs?

You mean you bought the 4s less than a year ago? I think they are changing the charger and docking because people were complaining about how large it was. I'm sure some 3rd party company will make a conversion system.

I've read that they will only be making the screen taller and not wider. I don't really understand that. I feel it will make the phone look stupid. What is the purpose behind the screen just being taller?

Will it be able to play flash videos?

Doubt it. Apple has stood by their claim that Flash is obsolete. Even the new Android OS Jelly Bean won't be flash compatible.

Yea, Verizon actually upgrades me early than two years, the upgrade date on my account got me confused, it's about 6 months early not sure why maybe because I've been a loyal customer for 10 years. It hasn't been that long...at all really, but I will only have to wait 6 months after it is released to buy it. I don't like the fact it is a bigger phone, they should make the screen biger but the size of the phone was perfect IMO.

[Jackofalltrades]

I've been told the charger will be a 9 pin and will be on the top of the phone with the earphone jack.

It better be 4G, the 4S is.

I'm eligible for an upgrade now, but will look at other smartphone options this time, I HATE not having flash and not being Windows friendly. I'm not a Mac user.
