I'm ordering mine on Friday. I sold my 4s today, I have 7 days to ship it so I'll be using an old flip phone for a few days until the iPhone 5 arrives.

Yea the new connector really screws things up for me but oh well.

Well Apple did state they're gonna sell adapters for the connection so shouldn't be a problem.

It should be free!! I'm a bit upset at the idea of paying to be able to use all my accessories and charges.

If you have Verizon they will give you $150 on the trade in.

The adapters are supposed to be $10 each. Annoying, but not too big of a deal. Buy one or two to hold you over, and before you know it youll have a million of the new cables just like youve already got of the old ones.

Im cheap, so ill go 16gb. Based on what I can sell my current iphone for, it will basically cost little to nothing for the upgrade. Sounds like a good deal to me.

I'm still keeping mine. It was hard enough to get my first iPhone, which I love, last year (contempt prior to investigation), but I'm not exactly an Apple Addict. Yet :lovesloves:

nice, but not overwhelming, a pity they left out NFC again.

not too sure about the new form factor and VERY unhappy with the new docking connector !
this will be a major hassle as I have charging and audio docks at multiple locations at home(s), at the office and the cars that used to fit the family pods, pads and phones.

As I have preordered one w/ my carrier I'll use it for some days and see whether the new features (?) and performance are worth swapping (and misplacing) adapters for years until the complete family iDevice ecosystem has migrated to the new connector :twisted:

was actually following the iPhone 5 launch event while at another launch event, the Austrian presentation of the new Range Rover - admittedly much more impressed by this aluminum "device". :drool:

But it is really sad to need Jailbreak to be free to do what you want with your phone (or tablet, for that matter since the problem is the same with all Apple products). Besides, not everyone is capable or willing to use it.

Great addition to the thread.  Here you go trolling again. Why do you even care how people use their phones? Do you have some secret partnership wih that buggy, laggy, fragmented software conglomerate?  

I am able to start my car lock  / unlock the doors and trunk from anywhere In the world. I can control my furnace and AC, DVR, home theater (in door /outdoor speakers) and more from my stock iPhone.  I can take full hd video and stunning pictures of my kids as they grow, again, right out of the box. You don like apple we get it. Some of us think BMW sucks, but we don't dump all over your daily threads about which BMW is faster than which squirrel on the second Wednesday of every month. 

Believe it or not, I'm not a fanboy, just a guy who likes his phone and uses it all the time.  Go "wait for another thread" to be entertained and to dump all over people's likes.

Good for you, if you enjoy your phone.

And if you think that BMW sucks, it is your right, too.

So, what next ?


PS I can also start my car lock / unlock the doors and trunk from anywhere In the world. I do not have an iPhone. But a BMW and the BMW App that goes with it. :nana:

Thank you very much for showing your level of intelligence / maturity, just goes to prove the old saying, "don't feed the trolls."
