0.44 mm thinner = dropping another $50 for new protective covers
ipad mini = ipod touch
liquid metal = who cares?

Have fun paying another $800 for a re-release.

If the iPhone 5 is 0.44 mm thinner than the 4S this will be an advantage because the difference in thickness is so small that the iPhone 5 could use the same protective covers that are on sale for the iPhone 4S.

I really want the new iphone to have a sticky cover so I can stick it to various parts of my body and not have to hold it anymore.

They would lose so much revenue in broken screen repairs.

They could call it Soul Magnetism. When they find out that it sticks to dogs too, that will be proof that animals have souls.

I like that. I would stick it to my dog so I wouldn't have to carry it. If I could only get her to answer calls for me that would be great.

No, it's actually a new App they've released. Siri was so successfull that they've decided to come up with "Jobsy". He will hold up your iPhone in front of Android and Windows Mobile users, sneer at them with a superiority complex, order you a latte, then hold your spot in line for the iPhone 5s, to be released three weeks later.

The last iPhone commercial really sucked, so let's hope it is not a sign of thing to come.

Hopefully, Feist can conjure up a hit single around the same time as its release.

Screw your commercial for Amazon.

Apparently HP agreed that the post I had responded to was in violation of their rules, as the comment was deleted. Some jerk used the forum to promote Kindle readers.

The iPhone 5 will be made of ginger snaps! Well, that's what I heard on the streets....

My prediction?

I predict a vast majority of these rumors will be false.

It's just going to be a little bit better then the last version?

you know what rocks my world? The National Park system. And the sound of the surf as I'm lying on the beach. The spring in New England. The Fall in New England. A great conversation with friends over a couple of beers. A great novel, Lying on a field watching a meteor shower. A great dinner with my wife rocks my world. A nice bike ride. A cruise along the coast or the mountains in my convertible. What doesn't rock my world is a cell phone. smart or otherwise they are a distraction to life and an annoyance. So take your iphones and droids and turn them off. They are a tool that tethers you to an overly connected world. Shut them off and let the world rock you all by itself.

Our National Parks system in the US is amazing. I am similarly rocked. It's sad that June will see the closure of numerous CA parks.

We've twisted our priority's in this Country to believe that true happiness is found in clutter. The man who dies with the most toys does not necessarily win. He just has lots of stuff for his relatives to fight over. Sad about the Ca parks.

I phone 5 will now have a lanyard. And that would be enough for folks to stand in line for hours and spend hundreds of dollars to replace their I phone 4. Plus they get hit with new 2 year contracts each time they "upgrade".

Given the speed with which Apple is coming out with new versions of their $800 devices, I should think most reasonable people might want to wait ten years until they've finally released something definitive before buying.

[mairs]

11:44 PM on 04/24/2012

The same speed at which every other tech company has released upgrades, for decades. Once a year.

Any bets on how many glitches it will have and be ignored by Apple until they have to fix them?

[Daniel Ricardo Carrera]

09:28 PM on 04/23/2012

I'll wait for the final version of the Iphone to come out to get one because they come out with a new one EVERY freaking year

[Spartan Ideal]

So you're never planning on buying one. K.

Don't all the smart phone manufacturers come out with new models every year? So do automobile makers and TV makers, etc.
