I'm not trying to pick a fight,pot stir...but out of curiosity....

If you're buying one...What do you have now? Did you buy each generation? How does that work with your contract with your phone company?


I'm just curious if it just happens you drop and break your current phone on September 22,and decide I'll upgrade....Or if it was a planned out thing...

Modified to add...I don't want an "Iphone",but I want some of the other things made for the Iphone...IE Doctor Who Tardis case  Embarrassed

Doesn't the new iPhone have a charging outlet that is identical to all other smartphones?  I haven't paid much attention since I own an Android smartphone.

nope, it's a smaller version of the current one, making everyone who gets a new phone buy adapters for speakers, docks etc.

That sounds kinda like a scam to me. Maybe in 6 months they can change them again on the iPhone 6s.......

I'm not. I'm more than likely going to switch back to an Android phone when I'm due to upgrade.

They're selling $30 adapters to let you use your old cables.  But I doubt they will work with your docks and clocks and stuff.  Another money-grub from Apple.

If you ask me, the Galaxy S3 is already a better phone, and been out for months.  A 4-inch display is laughable in today's market.

Nope. I'm not eligible for an upgrade and just got my iPhone 4s last October. I usually skip an upgrade since I don't need a new phone every year.

I'm with Buddha.  After several horrific experiences with Blackberry and Droid devices, I went with an iPhone 4s this past June.  Haven't had an issue.  It's a decent little phone.  I like it, no need to change it.

You can replace "iPhone 4" with "iPhone 5" and "Evo" with "Galaxy S3".

I am not going to get this, because my current version of the iPhone is good for now.  I will also benefit from OS upgrades when they are released.  When I'm in the market for another phone in a year or so, I will likely get the latest version of the iPhone, whatever that is.  The only reason I might get one sooner is because my wife's phone is getting long in the tooth.

Criticizing apple for changing the dock is just trolling.  They've had the same system since 2003 (9 years) which is an eternity for tech companies.  This new dock allows them to drop some size/weight, I'm assuming.

If that's the case they should throw one in with the price of the phone. Nothing but a douche money making move, hopefully it backfires on them.....

I'll be getting the iphone5.  I need a new phone, I'm due for the upgrade in October, and, most importantly, I need a new ipod.  So I'm killing two birds with one stone.  I honestly couldn't care less about technology and the latest "must have products"  I figure I'll be good with the new iphone for a while.  I'm not gonna upgrade when new ones come out.  It's stupid

That's my next phone that I have targeted.  I'm eligible for an upgrade in January so hopefully the price will have dropped by then.
