Are you watching the iPhone 5 Keynote?

Yep

 

I really wish everyone would boycot the 5 and force apple to keep the old style connector

 

Not a big deal on the connector. It's good that it's reversible. Also they just announced that an adapter will come with the 5, so that old styles will work.

 

so that means that insead of docking your iphone it will have to sit beside your radio and run a cord to the dock?

 

Not necessarily! All the people that make the docks are already working on an adapter.

 

just plug it in

 

gotcha. I was thinking it was gonna be a cord.

still...everyone should boycot them until they either keep the same plug or switch to the universal USB

 

Although I'll agree on the universal USB, we wouldn't have the 5 as it sits now without changing the connection design. They said that given the design and size of the 30pin, they wouldn't have been able to make the phone as thin as it is.

 

The plot thickens...


Apparently the wording on Apples's website that said it would be included, is now nowhere to be seen. One person also said that Apple support told them that was an error. So it may not be included after all.


To be continued...


Update:

From Apple - The Lightning to 30-pin adapter does not come in the box with iPhone 5. It is sold separately. However, the Lightning to USB cable does come with iPhone 5 for connection to AC chargers and other devices.

 

So who besides me has Pre-Ordered the iPhone 5???

 

Me. Been waiting to replace my now 3.5 year old 3GS since the 4s

 

I preordered but I had no idea it was starting 2am central time. Last I saw was 8am. Now expected ship time is 2 weeks when I ordered at 7:50 this morning. Anyone show different ship time?

 

I ordered on Verizon last night!

Finally a new phone for me after 4 years!

 

Yeah the rumor of the connector being included is debugged. No such luck, you CAN however, add one to you your order for 29.00 Hopefully they come out at the same time. That connector says it ships in October, but I'll need it before then otherwise my car stereo won't work, hahaha, heck it might not even work with iPhone 5! We'll see. I sure hope so.

 

Can't upgrade till OCT 11 but I'll deff be getting the 5 then. My droid shit the bed about 3 months ago. Been using a old ass flip phone.

 

i have an upgrade available but no monies

 

Pre-ordered through Verizon at 12:00 am.

Says it should be delivered by 9/21.

Now Im looking to sell my unlocked iPhone 4 to a Tmobile user. Hopefully I can break even overall...

 

I did, after talking smack about going to a Galaxy S3. I'm just too vested in iTunes. Could give a damn about siri or anything else.

I'm upgrading from the 3G, so I win the old-n-busted contest.

ATT's site said 2 weeks as well but then at several times it said I would get delivery on 9.21.12. I assume the 2-week message was a generality.

Anyone know how applecare works? Can I just call up apple and add it? I sure didn't take ATT's bend-me-over insurance plan.

 

you have to go into the apple store to add it. make an appointment. it takes all of 5 minutes to add it.
