In any case the iMac, MacBook and MacMini are still way ahead of the competition.

Heh...

Heh...

We made the switch to Apple starting about 5 years ago, we see no reason at all to switch to something else for desktops, laptops etc. The competition isn't even close.

I find if I keep repeating myself I feel I have made the point more compelling 😳

Anyway, T-Mobile/Orange seemed very keen to get me onto a 4S last month making me think they've lost out on the bidding for iPhone 5's

🙄 they are the ones with 4G Everything Everywhere is T-Mobile/Orange

more likely they were pushing stock before everyone got wind of the update

Im pretty sure that the salepeople in the mobile phone shops would not have a clue just like the rest of us whether they would be stocking it.

If it's taller and no wider than the current one, I'm out - so far out that they can go and shove it up their bums

I just don't see why they can't make 2 sizes, one little (ie current) and one with about a 5 inch screen for super-wealthy old geezers like me with shit eyesight. Internals could be pretty much identical, so surely it's only down to the "box". I don't care if the screen has the same pixel count as the smaller one - I don't need resolution that means even a young kestrel can't see the pixels

So it's got a bigger screen and a faster chip, a smaller charging point and......

I've been really looking forward to getting a 5, but really, that's it? I'll stick to my 4!

...and thinner and lighter and bigger battery and 4G. Not sure what you were expecting exactly?

Have you tried just holding it closer to your face? 😉

why is the nano so... big?

Maybe the shuffle will step up to that roll?

Fair enough. What [i]would[/i] they need to tempt you though Houns?

if it is thinner but longer but has a better battery - will it appeal more to the 50 shades of grey reader or not?

I'm going to guess Apple releasing an Oakleys limited edition model.

Sorry. Not had my tea yet, and thinking about food.

Only if you turn on vibrate.

Anyone want to buy a battered 4

Well, thats that not bothering about then. I've researched my free 4S upgrade and with the 4S I'd get a free Samsung Chat. Its a Blackberry alike that only does calls and texts.

I think I'll go for the upgrade, dump the 4S in the classifieds and keep the simple Samsung.

So next thread - what phone for father of two with wife on maternity leave...?

I think I can now see why Apple got so angry with their recent legal battle
Nothing new here and nothing to tempt me away from a Galaxy S3 at much less cost

(I will wait and see how much it actually costs versus a 4G S3 too)

Hmm. No 'one more thing...' announcement yet. iPad 7" coming?

Yes. So angry that they won the case and were awarded damages.

How much less? Figures if you have them, please.*

*Genuinely curious.

How are you getting one for free? (honest Q) I've been with O2 for quite a while now, do I just ring up an ask for one?
I'll be needing the 64gb one, mind, my 32gb iP4 isn't big enough any more.

I'll be selling a very nice iP4...... 😉

I spend quite a lot of money with them, so not really free at all.

But then work picks up the bill so I don't really care...

On a serious note, I'm getting a 4s upgrade. Its the right size for my pocket (unlike the S3), does more than what I need and in 2 years when my contract ends I'll be bang in the firing line for tried and tested 4G handsets.

4G could have been the only attraction for me but its not country wide, I have wifi at both ends of work / home and won't be downloading movies and so forth while I'm on the go.

I live in Devon. 3G is ropey at best. 4G is witchcraft...

For the record, I'm REALLY glad it's not much bigger. Those big smartphones are too much for me, to big for a pocket.

They are nifty devices, so if you're not bought into the Apple eco system, i.e have apps paid for, then the Nexus 7 will do just fine.
