Apple's September 12 invite hints at iPhone 5. Upgrade to iOS 6 now.

[luckyluchiano]

THAT BLACK LOOKS GOOOOD, but dang I still think I`m gonna get that white guy.

man I`m so hyped. this baby got me thinking I`m going to just cop a high end screen protector and rock it naked, but I`m prolly going to rock with the new Mophies when they release, hopefully Mophie can make something sleek looking. Forget the Haters mane! When the Jailbreak drops this phone will be God Like, and yes I`m going to cop the 5s next yr.


Is the a6 2x faster than the a5 or a5x? Meaning could the a6 be quad core or dual core 1.6 ghz /2ghz? And the GPU 8 cores?

is it true that I will have to leave my grandfathered 3G unlimited data plan to get the new iphone since it uses 4glte??

I have ATT.

When I copped my GS3 I was grandfathered in with my unlimited plan and it's a 4g phone.. I don't see why it would be any different with the iPhone.. if it is, that's so dummmmb

Oh alright, hopefully it stays the same then.

Just something I saw on twitter, wasn't sure if it was true or not.

Does anyone know when verizon will have the pre orders on the 14th as well? I'm eligible for a full upgrade and I get 30 buck soff the asking 2 year price. Thanks

Go to the store, friday and they will be able to order it for you (they will help because the rep gets credit for the upgrade) and keep in mind that 30 dollar New Every 2 you got is pretty much gonna take care of your upgrade fee which still aint bad cause 200 beats 230.

I think you'll be alright.. just bs and tell em eff it I ain't upgrading if I ain't getting grandfathered in and those salesmen will help you out quick

Brandon - that strap is there to secure it.

No different than what they would give you with a camera, or ds or psp and some cellphones

sales men cant do anything if its company policy. I know with VZW no matter what if you get a discount part of the new 2 yr agreement is to lose unlimted. Grandfather means nothing because you are signing a new agreement where in order to get a discount you must agree to new terms.

Unless you have a basic phone on your account. You can upgrade the basic phone and do a hardware swap between the two devices. That's the one alternate path I've come across with helping customers so they won't lose their unlimited data plan. I also work at bbym

Word??? can you give me more info on this? My father has a basic phone (eligilble for upgrade for verizon) i might buy the iphone 5 through his line and swap with my phone.. since mine has unlimited data.... how can i make this happen?

So us ATT people with the unlimited plan are safe if we upgrade? Correct?

 

[bossplaya0625]

Would like to cop on release date but wondering if I should wait a few weeks to see if their any bugs with the initial release. Any suggestions?

YES
just asked an employee friend.

she said they throttle you after a certain amount of data though.

you have a 1 year warranty if anything goes wrong swap it for a new one. no hassle ever from them from my experience.

Nokia is the new apple. Their launch had way more innovative things than this ****. I liked my iphone but i'm probably going to Nokia or Samsung.

I have a Lumia 900 right now and it's amazing, just waiting to see how the 920 is going to be, with Windows8 and all. To each their own iPhone has the app game on lock, I like WP7 OS and Nokia's look more.

Well I've had unlimited data forever and still do.. The way I do it is making sure every time I upgrade I talk to the salesman to make sure my unlimited plan is staying if I sign this new contract and they've made sure it stays.. And checking the att website and my account I still have it so ill continue making sure my unlimited data stays by telling the sales person

Iphones are cool and all, not saying they're a bad phone, but does anyone else think they are wayyy overrated?

Is there any Apple product people don't say is overrated?

 

[jecca650]

damn im going to have to drop $649 because verizon wont let me keep my unlimited data.

 

[ggarvinxx3]

is the keynote available now?

also whats verizon single plans looking like?

i want the lowest minutes, unlimited texting and 4gb of data is that possible?

 

[balla jigga]

So how do I go about pre-ordering? I'm on ATT, planning on grandfathering my unlimited data.

 

[dajoka004]

Is there any Apple product people don't say is overrated?

Nope. Every Apple product is overrated. Yet Apple will sell close to 200M iOS devices in FQ12.

Waiting for this Gold Master download though...

at first I didn't really notice the white iPhone, but that "brushed" aluminum finish is rather sexy . . .

 

[steve austin]

White iPhone 4 > Black iPhone 4
Black iPhone 5 > White iPhone 5
and I'm a fool for White things.

coke aint good for you b

 

[quik1987]

The white is OK, but IMO it's more for the females.

Screen looks better on the black joint.

 

[kvsm23vs24]
