iPhone 5 Day Came and Went

A statement written needs to be taken at face value, if a person wants to be facetious or clever or even sarcastic in print it is quite difficult to portray without tone of voice and even expression.

Making a flat statement is just a statement.

If I say, "you really do like to argue!" It doesn't have the same meaning as "you really do like to argue! :D:shrug:"

They have removed the :rolleyes: smiley from the forum as it offends some :rolleyes: (in case you missed the sarcasm... again ;))

Well I am underwhelmed. What do you guys think?

I haven't got round to reading a full breakdown of it all yet. Only device that I might be interested in would be the iPhone 5. I can upgrade in a month or probably straight away with a small fee but whether I will or not is another matter.

Only showing EE and O2 on the map for UK networks....

Edit

That's for LTE! So it will be compatible.

Checking the images, LTE is EE only, O2 is HSDPA.

So where is Voda and 3?

None of the iPhone models are capable of the 800/2600 MHz spectrum for LTE, so it'll only be EE and 3 in the UK currently.

As for the iPhone5, meh!
 
From the BBC........


Apple said the handset would work on Everything Everywhere's (EE) 4G LTE network in the UK.

The news is likely to give EE - which runs the local Orange and T-Mobile services - an advantage against its rivals which will not launch the higher-speed data service until 2013.

"I think it's obviously what the other networks feared would happen," said Matthew Howett, a telecoms analyst at Ovum.

"The question will be how many non-EE customers make the switch."

Apple said the handset would ship on 21 September.

The written word has had a form of 'emoticon' for centuries........

punctuation marks and italics and underline and strikethrough are just some prime examples of the above.

Emoticons are for thick people.
 
Uses a new nano-sim as well rather than the current micro-sim. Are these even available in the UK yet or will they be by next week?

Tom, please stop being an arse and insulting people! It's getting old, fast! #Irony
 
Also not convinced about this, my contract has expired with 02 so i can upgrade anytime onwards, ive got the iphone4 but i really dont see anything amazing with the 5, lighter, thinner - not fussed, bigger screen = plus, but theres nothing else that ive heard so far screaming for me to upgrade,

Lots of similar spec phones out there at the moment that could be better than the iphone 5 so think i need to goto a shop for a play with some of them

I know there are frequency issues, what I was surprised by was this slide

It would appear Apple are only showing 2 supported LTE networks for Europe.
Found it strange that 3 didn't appear on the map.

I will be getting one to upgrade my 4. A bit sad that my original ipad won't get an upgrade to ios 6. :(
 
Slightly underwhelmed but what realistically can they do that's mindblowing, get it to make tea! Don't really understand 4g or what the hell ee is! Looks good though but will probably wait for the rush to die down.
 
With regard LTE, there are actually 3 models. Two US models (CDMA and US GSM on AWS and 700 MHz) and then an international GSM model with LTE support for 850/1800/2100 MHz.

http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/

So no buying a cheap one from the States then.
 
hmmm not a huge applefan (however we - well the wife has a 3Gs and an ipad) but from what I have read, the screen is larger but smaller than my current phone. the chipset / processer / RAM is larger / quicker faster, but doesn't match my phone...

Cannot understand why they changed the plug and the aspect ratio..... (yes I know for the headphone jack - for the former)

4G is super fast data connection (currently running at around 30Mbps) that is capable of connection speeds up to 100Mbps, theoretically making most landline broadband connections seem very slow.

EE is the new trade name for Everything Everywhere, the network coming out of the merger between T-Mobile and Orange, and now the biggest network in the UK (and the only one with a working 4G LTE network that will have coverage in 16 cities by year end).

To get a bigger battery etc inside.

I wonder if 4G data connections will have the same high latency that 3G connections have.

3G ping times are normally about 100ms whereas landline ping times are normally about 10-15ms at most.

You are lucky with your latency, I'm on Virgin Media cable and have an average ping in the 50ms range. Lowest is in the low 30s, sometimes up to the 80s.

3 have only just recently acquired some spectrum from EE in the 1800MHz bandwidth and will I guess use that to get a 4G network off the ground. So not quite ready yet and may just have been too late to include? I'm sure it will want a piece of the pie :)
 
The plug was changed due to EU law requiring all phones to charge by micro USB

It buggers up the dock side of things, especially in cars. Hopefully there will be a 9 pin to 30 pin converter. There is always bluetooth streaming, but you don't have as much control, just play, pause, next, previous.

btw my 3g ping (laptop wireless to mifi) is 70ms, so pretty good.
 
Completely underwhelmed. I expected something amazing.
 
69 posts, and no one has mentioned the primary function.. can you make calls on it?

I don't do apple products but I am glad to see them increase the screen size.
3.5" just seems a touch small in this current tech climate.

That's not a micro USB charger.

It accepts micro USB I believe to conform to the with law.

It was mentioned on another site a few days ago that the new port was "the same size as a micro USB" but looking at the lead then it was quite obvious that is was rather unlikely to be compatible and it isn't.
