not a hope in there being an iPhone 6

banquo · 18-08-2013 12:24AM

Nope. The 5C is this year's good-time, extra-chewy announcement, which partly makes me despair for a potential lack of new features beyond spec increases in the 5S.

Don't get me wrong. I'm still going to want the 5S with my whole body. But iOS7 is where the real upgrade for regular iPhone users is this year.

And if they release the new Mac Pro with a 4K Thunderbolt 2 display in Sept or Oct, I will go bankrupt getting one.

Creamy Goodness · 18-08-2013 10:08AM

it's a tock year. meaning we only get one 5S only feature and a spec bump.

4K cinema displays would be ****ing sweet though.

Dman001 · 18-08-2013 08:35PM

If the iPhone 4/4S are currently acting as a low cost option for those acting an iPhone, surely the iPhone 5C is a step back with its plastic casing. I'd much rather the glass casing of the iPhone 4 to be honest.

GorillaRising · 18-08-2013 09:49PM

^ I'd be more concerned with the performance of the 5C vs 4.

I'm using a 4 at the moment. Will probably get a 5s when it's out though.

Feck them anyway - like so many I'm at the end of the my 2 yr contract and I want a big screen (a long one just doesnt do it). But that maybe the iPhone 6 in April-ish! Probably.

Feck them!

TheBigGreen · 19-08-2013 09:42AM

I'm getting the 5s when it comes out! Looking forward to it.

You sound very angry.

What were you expecting?

Bluefoam · 20-08-2013 10:49AM

Not angry at all, just astounded by the amount of hype they create over what amounts to poor levels of innovation. I am still amazed by the people on boards pining over this news as if it was something more interesting.

GorillaRising · 20-08-2013 11:05AM

It's not Apple creating the hype. It's people on forums, tech writers and idiots with their irrelevant concept designs of a new iPhone.

Apple have declined to comment in the article posted.

Well I don't see any of the hype and if there is any it comes from the media itself.

This gold thing is just a rumour.

I don't know what innovation people are actually looking for.

There is one thing pining over a new iphone but to be ready to handy over hundreds of euro before its even released is mind boggling

Apple have a very sophisticated marketing department that manipulates hype, winds up the tech industry and leaks information and images in order to fuel the people on forums, tech writers and idiots... it is planned and manipulated centrally & is one of their great achievements. So yes, Apple are creating the hype.

Quite possible alright. I don't know for sure myself admittedly, but unless you can prove what you said, you can't be sure either.

Can I get one of those displays for a PC ?

All sounds like conspiracy theory, tin foil hat stuff.

Any idea yet which networks will get hands on first?

Seeing as there isn't even an official announcement for a couple of weeks, how in Jesus' name would anyone know who's getting what?

Will the hat be available in gold tinfoil?

Easy tiger, rumours did the rounds prior to the launch of the 4s that Three were going to be stocking the device, and sure enough they did. The same way rumours did the rounds that o2 would get preference when the iPhone originally launched in Ireland and sure enough, they did, weeks before Vodafone or Meteor got them. So calm down, you don't think deals and discussions are being put in place as we speak? Of course they are, they hardly wait till the announcement has been made to start squabbling and end up at the back of the pile.

O2 had the iphone at least a year or more before any other network.

Based on most high profile phone launches of the last year or two those exclusive deals are becoming almost non-existent. To the best of my knowledge, all the major carriers got the S4, HTC One, S3, Lumia 925 at the same time. Would expect the same to be true of the next iPhone, although they may want to distance themselves from the competition.

Yes, my points exactly. Therefore it is not nonsense to assume there may already be word on who has it outside of assumptions.

I think it's safe to assume all the networks who have the iPhone 4s/5 will have it.

Some may have it a couple of weeks before others, but that's it.

No network is stupid enough not to sell something as popular as a new iPhone will no doubt be.
