Oh and Steve jobs personally came up with the idea for this phone.. he said “after iPhone 5, we should make another iPhone”

It will be magical!

Its laughable, because there was no innovating its just a slightly bigger version than the 4s, everyone sees it, only the devoted, who always buys apple anything will purchase it, for the cool factor, with their crowd. Personally I don’t understand this allegiance. When I spend 200$ or more on a new phone it better have the latest and greatest innovation built in. That’s why I’ll stick with my Samsung Galaxy S3.

I’m sure I’m the only iPhone4 owner who has reached the end of their contract to not upgrade to the iPhone5;) I’m buying a Windows 8X phone most likely a Nokia Lumia 920. Five years after the first iPhone the Android OS is now competitive and we will soon add W8X to the mix. I do not have to be locked into buying an iPhone that has to have a rubber case, ruining the design and making it much thicker too. Nokia makes phones that have a great design even with a case built in. The iOS and iPhone are clearly aging. I do not think Apple can innovate anymore except to create products that need dongles or cables. The MacBook Pro Retina is a godo example of bad hardware design and now we have the Dongle iPhone.

After that no more additional sales. Fanboys will wait for ip6 with nfc and bigger screen maybe? Lol

Then when the sales don’t match up to that made up number they blame Apple. And these idiots actually get paid to do this?

It will be very interesting to see how this phone fares in the rest of the world. Its so disappointing seeing stats from just America. Taking one slice of stats from the whole picture means nothing. Give us some real information.

Not as impressive as selling 5 Million in 3 days, but does make a statement like “that’s more sales than any other handset in the market” completely false.
