you have google. i trust in you.

the only thing that has me interested is the new battery system. Apparently it's supposed to be 225 hours of standby, but in the grand tradition of Apple products it'll likely be smaller.

I hadnt already gotten a galaxy nexus and I wasnt afraid that google was about to cockslap apple i might consider getting one. Small screen and lack of 4G were the only down sides to getting one before.

I'm pretty disappointed with today's announcements. I think Apple really needed to announce a killer feature today that would definitely put it ahead of top Android phones, but instead they only played catch-up on screen size and 4G.
The announcement I'm actually most pleased by is the redesign of the iPod nano. The previous square versions were just a touch-screen iPod shuffle. Good job on returning the nano to what it should be, Apple.

imo iphones are better put together and a lot more aesthetically pleasing than most android phones. Now that the iphone 5 is on the same technological level as android it seems like a pretty good contender. I mean i dont get that much utility out of having diamond cut aluminum around my pocket computer but damn if it isnt cool and if its around the same price why not?

Have you seen what happens when you drop one? It's nice but.. I rather have a cheaper more durable outside so it can atleast withstand impact if it does happen.

It's more of a "ohhh look how pretty" than logical.

I had an iPhone 3GS. I dropped it down two floors worth of concrete stairs.

It got a crack in the docking area, and that was it.

And I'll agree, Androids look a lot less interesting to me aesthetically, but they're probably more durable. I don't know why, but they just feel alien to me. I can't find it in me to like them, and I've tried.

I cant stand Apple aesthetics

The iphone 3G and 3gs were super durable, the new Iphone 4 design is much more fragile. Frankly, i think both the iphone and android models have screens that break way too easily. I see more phones with broken screens than intact screens for each type.

I think Jobs were still around he would have pushed the envelope a bit more and added NFC technology or something else more revolutionary

I dropped an itouch off my chair once, damn screen shattered so bad.

Dropped my Classic numerous times on Concrete, thrown it out of my pocket at times, things barely bent out of shape..

I think it's more so that the average person you see with a busted one is an idiot.

iPhone's largest source of revenue is blind brand loyalty.

They can release iPhone3 with 5 label and still make money.

God damn genious

iPhone 5 disappoints me. It honestly looks like a ripoff of the Samsung Galaxy 3S. The only parts that interest me are the LTE capability and the new processor. Otherwise, waste of money.

Every version is just very marginal upgrades anyways

Oh god if that's real... lol.

Apple people lmao

they cant be real apple fanboys. everyone knew the iphone 5 was gonna have a bigger screen. Most of those people probably had the 3gs or something and the 4s actually WAS an improvement. Im sure the video is leaving out plenty of people who were like "no this is definitely a 4S".

Ive never seen such a blind fan base than Apple fans. Most of them just buy it for the name.

Many of those Apple fans (maybe its Asia only) are actually not Apple fans at all.

They are Jobs fans.

Heck its a form of religion, but in this case it has very little positive aspects of what actual religions are supposed to have.

Many true Apple fans (the ones that had been using Apple products from its early days) don't even like current Apple practices, and Jobs especially.

From now on, we refer to this as Call of Duty syndrome.

Its how it is. I was required to ask people why they chose they phone they did, and suffice it to say, the results were not pretty.

And from my experience in college people are the same way with mac books and ipads.

This I have seen.

Its probably Highschool mind that they brought to college and university, where they are the "cool" people when they use Apple products, and others are "losers" not using the "cool" product...

At the time, though, there was no iPad, so it was Mac laptops that were used for "show-off" (of their dumbness).

I could understand some of them actually needed those for their work, but most of them were flippin ENGLISH MAJORS who had ABSOLUTELY no idea of how to use their machine.

Heck, many of them just installed and used Windows mostly...
