Everything will be grand*

*To a certain extent. Obviously some things will not be grand but they will be averaged out by lots of things being grand or better

The silly part is that this will be true

The iPhone 6 release date (or possible iPhone 5S release date) is closer than you thought. Analysts are predicting an early 2013 launch as Apple speeds up it's product cycle. Read on for specs, features and rumors.

We still don't know if Apple will call their next smartphone the iPhone 6 or iPhone 5S, but tech market experts are already saying that the new device will launch in the first fiscal quarter of 2013. Asymco analyst Horace Dediu has released a report stating that starting in 2013 Apple will release a new generation of each device (iPhones and iPads) every six months, as opposed to the one year product cycle we've seen since the first iPhone debuted in 2007. Dediu's report is based an official statement from former Apple CEO John Sculley.

In his statement, Sculley noted that Apple is "going through a very significant change now in terms of product cycles... now it's really introducing products twice a year."

antodeco · 27-12-2012 7:44pm

The world will end on 12/21/13. (we will star using space calendars so there's 34 months in a year)

Praetorian Saighdiuir · 27-12-2012 7:45pm

Iv a feeling Enda Kenny will die.

ProudDUB · 27-12-2012 7:48pm

Dublin to win the Sam again.

Lapin · 27-12-2012 7:51pm

I predict that come next December we will see a few dozen more new threads in AH asking people what their predictions are for 2014.

Chuck Stone · 27-12-2012 7:53pm

I predict that the vast majority of specific predictions in this thread will prove to be wrong.

Harvey Norman will change their style of advertising. Again.
Harvey Norman will continue to lose their hole.

To brighten up the landscape, someone will start adding an "I" to all the "To Let" adds. Quite possibly me.

The USA will announce that someone else has "weapons of mass destruction/threatening hardware/too many guns" and decide to invade "to rescue the downtrodden people" who have been downtrodden for years and no-one cared, but they now have oil, so it's all good to go.

Electric cars will become hugely popular, but only amongst Hollywood stars who can afford ten of them, to be replaced, relay style, so they can get to the shops and back.

"Internet bullying" will be outlawed, this will also cover comments such as "Enda Kenny will die this year" and "I saw a TD giving a small goat a blowjob down a boreen", and our Pols will be glad, free once more to get sloshed and drive the Merc at 160kph, down Grafton Street.

"Finding yourself" will become newly fashionable, seeing as there's feck all chance of finding a job, you might as well spend your time finding somthing else. It will become the new yoga, and involve writing a lot of crap poetry and climbing Croke Patrick while wearing an ex-military parka.

Babies will be everywhere, seeing as for the last few years, everyone has been shagging like rabbits because going to the pictures costs €30 and the rides free.

Loads of people will visit Mothercare to buy a Buggy, and discover to their horror, that the ride is indeed not quite as free at they though. "Dr Spocks book on raising kids" will become a bestseller, again. Many people will wonder what the hell a Sheldon Cooper type from Star Trek would know about raising kids.

Planning something?

Killer Wench · 27-12-2012 8:26pm

Someone will be shot in the US and there will be 7.5 threads on boards.

Shryke · 27-12-2012 8:27pm

More rumblings from Pakistan/Iran/Syria/Lebanon/Israel. Some big new conflict will be coming out of there. I won't be as silly as to say in 2013, but in a few short years.
It's one that the US should actually involve itself in. They owe a lot to Iranians for 1953 for one. Enough shitehawking. There needs to be a no fly zone imposed on huge swathes of the middle-east.

hattoncracker · 27-12-2012 8:35pm

Apple will decline, Samsung will release some new innovation and apple will not be able to decline.

Limerick will see a rejuvenation.

College grants will be pretty much abolished.

The superman movie will be good.

Another shocking shooting in the states will start the process of modifying their laws on gun control.

LiffeyValleyB · 27-12-2012 8:40pm

Not very original but another school/university/kindergarten shooting in the US and the subsequent gun law uproar in the media which gradually dies down with no effect.
