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

[PRIME]

if you can believe it, the phone service providers have more influence over the tech than you'd think.

In many cases, they're the main points of contention in the phone development process.


In many articles i've read about the industry, its often the phone manufacturers themselves that would love to push the boundaries but are limited by the phone service providers who are too stubborn to let the real innovation reach customers. 

Makes sense. I can see Verizon or ATT keeping us from having these types of things because of Data usage. Damn bastards probably hate the idea of "unlimited data" now that they look back on it.

Naw Apple has the industry by the sack. Apple even patented the security bands for their phones in retail stores so other phones can't use it. Apple dictates everything about the iPhone down to how it must be presented in stores. Apple is the reason Verizon implemented upgrade fees and stopped new every 2. Ain't no money being made off iPhones. I can tell you from the mouths of executives they hate the iPhone but it brings customers and iPhone users have the lowest complain / return rates.

I always thought that the white iphone looked nicer than the black version...but that new black version.

I got a white iPhone 4s.. But if I get the 5..it got to be black..

Everything is so much cleaner in iOS6 man. I'm buying apps JUST because the app store is looking so good.

Apple knows how to take my money.

For those that want to get an Android, get an Android.  Go to the Android thread 

For those that want an iphone, get an iphone. 

My only suggestion is do not use AT&T.  Coverage is terrible.  Verizon FTW!

You misinterpreted what The Verge meant, NFC on the Samsung Galaxy S III is built into the battery, so if you take out the battery you lose the NFC capabilities. NFC is NOT a battery hog, waste etc. Also ICS and Jellybean have built in battery management processors in the OS.

Try again bum.

I guess fan boys are disappointed because Apple rarely releases new phones, so to release something that Android has already been doing for the past year is overall underwhelming. lol

Lol trueee. I was reading some of the features like taking a photo while filming a video and was like... .....my phone already does that and it come out in June.

JUNE?

Well, for the iOS6 Gold Master update, you'd just download it. (PM me)
Open itunes and go to restore iPhone, hold option (or hold shift if you're on a pc) find the OS file and update it.

With the ATT unlock you have to fill out a form and they'll unlock your phone

I unlocked my 4S for more resale value just in case I wanted to sell it for the new Iphone 5, but after today's announcement I'm not sold on the new device. I might wait till the next hardware revision comes out.

Bought my unlock from ebay since AT&T won't unlock my iPhone until the end of my contract next year (I got the link from macrumors forum). His ebay ID is unlock_fusion. I paid $9 for the unlock and it came in about ~15 hrs since I ordered last night. He raised the price to $9.75 though. You can check your iphone unlock status at iphoneox.com, but the best bet is to use another network's sim card. I got my unlocked confirmation when I restored my Iphone to a stock firmware before upgrading to iOS 6.

EDIT:

If you're on a non contract Iphone 4 then you can request an unlock from AT&T for free as stated above

 

[osh kosh bosh]

How much $$ will the pre order be? Can pre orders "sell out" never pre ordered a phone

How does it work you just put down some $ then when the release date comes you pay the rest and it ships
