    I will be getting one more so because I really hate my Galaxy Note. Most likely 32gb in the slate/ black color. Never cared for white and not into that chamapgne color.

    nice. yeah I will get the black/slate color as well, I don’t care for the white and don’t like the gold(i think thats what they are calling the color) and than probably get a new live proof case for it. i had one on my 4 and love it.

    I’m glad i waited, my 4 works fine right now. have not had it ring a few times with calls, but i think IOS 7 update will fix that. but other than that i’m glad i did not have to get the 5. 5s is/was worth the wait imo.

    I already have an iphone 5.... but was curious to see what the upgrades were.

    Looks promising to upgrade to iphone 6 next year. I truly hope they don't make the iphone 6 HUGE like some of the android phones. I mean....its nice to have a big screen, but damn......If I can't fit it in my pocket, I don't want it!!

    I wonder how they're going to do the life proof because the 5s have to have access to your fingerprint, so I'm curious how they will make water proof cases that don't cover the home button...

    yeah i never upgraded to the 5 i got a 4 and it works fine! my 2 years was up back in march, and phone works fine so i told my self i was going to wait for the new phone if i can.

    and x19999999 thats what i hate about most the androids and they are so big! the 5/5s screen is big enough for my liking.
    hmm. also you don’t have to use it. only if you want it locked.

    ISO7 was designed around the new hard drive and everything on 5s. but the new update will be more customizable on all phone.( don’t think it will not work on anything older than the 4.)

    than why you come in here? made the thread to talk about the new phone not hear people crap on it, and say android is better.

    if you want to do that PLEASE go make another thread.

    We had iphone 4's prior...and the iphone 5 processing is much faster. You'd definitely be happy with a new one.

    But now I see the 5s has an even faster chip in it than the 5. :thumbsup:

    I might be alone here, but I love a huge screen on a phone. I wouldn't mind it being 6", mostly because I watch a lot of Netflix / movies / tv shows on it

    Edit: As far as the new iPhone though, I kind of expected a 5S release, and I'm not really impressed although the fingerprint scanner is interesting, I'm curious to see if someone finds some kind of way to exploit it.

    everyone like a big screen. but at some point it gets TO BIG to be carried around all day long everyday.

    edit, for your edit: i expected a 5s as well since they have done a 3gs and 4s. I did not expect as much stuff to be on it, and had plained on waiting till it came out and was going to just get a 5 for cheaper.

    also you can have a few peoles prints stored on the phone so someone you trust(wife/gf /whatever) can use it as well.

    Apple coming out with 2 iPhone, the Iphone 5C running A6 processor and 5 different color to choose from, While 5S will come with A7 processor, 2x times faster than Iphone 5.
    IOS 7 is available soon.

    the 5c dose not look that good IMHO. and most the colors are stupid. imho. only colors that are kinda cool are the white and green.

    ugly yellow, ugly pinkish peach, and a stupid baby blue, make it a true blue(little darker) and it will be better.

    I won't upgrade until next year now as I have an iPhone 5 and the iPhone 5S doesn't seem to be that much of an upgrade. The Touch ID is probably cool and I'm interested to see what the M7 chip really does for fitness apps but overall I think I can wait. Also, the Touch ID seems like something that is a little too new for technology and Apple will need to learn from it this year and fix/upgrade it for next year before it will work really well.

    I'm not a fan of a screen bigger than about 4-4.5". It gets hard to hit the opposite corners with one hand for me. If Apple kept it at 4", I would be happy to continue buying their products.

    I like the new 5s. I have had a 4 for the past 2 years. Never had a protective case or film for the screen and it still looks brand new. Only problems it ever had was the home button and the power button recently started to not work all the time. It has been more durable than every other phone I had up until my first iPhone, a 3s I got 4 years ago. I like iPhones and I will be getting a 5s as soon as available.
