a bit annoying that they couldn't package LTE for all the bands in there - I'd like a phone that can do what it does in the USA as well as it does back home in Australia.
I'm not crazy on the screen size change, I liked that everything was the same aspect ratio. I would've happily taken all the other goodies and had them stuffed into the casing for a 4, even if it was slightly fatter (though the length change isn't all that much). Battery life increase is a plus. If I do upgrade while it is still the 5 and not 5s, I'll be waiting for the untethered jailbreak. I'm quite happy with the 4 on iOS 4.3.3 (a few tweaks I like don't work on iOS 5) |

yeah sure, same itunes account can have multiple devices, each device has a different name, the backups are separate, but they can both share the same photostream, same or different apps, same or different media or all shared through icloud, same phonebook entries, etc, etc.
So you would have MR_MAMA's iphone4 and MR_MAMA's iphone5 in itunes and in icloud for backups. -David |

The title of the thread is "IPhone 5- whose getting one?" Many people are answering that they do not intend to get one, largely due to lack of innovation compared to some Samsung phones.

it's almost exactly the same. The 5 has the same resolution and pixel density [just a wider aspect ratio], the same amount of memory and storage capacity, and only the front-facing facetime camera is [slightly] improved - the main camera is the same. |

I am underwhelmed. Clearly the era of smartphone innovation is over. It is off to the commodity market. As Amazon has noted the profit is in the razor blades now, not the razor. I just wonder how soon it will be before all smartphones are free.
The way things are going, Apple appears headed toward niche status. It's like Mac vs. Windows all over again. |

As you didn't mention them, I assume you agree with the other 14 improvements? I does say "iPhone" though - heck, just like the original one. Where's the innovation??? |

Apple's cachet won't last long if competitors keep leapfrogging Apple hardware. (See Samsung.) Already the Galaxy S3 has been outselling the iPhone 4S.
(though a quick Google shows Samsung projecting 30 million sales this year (May-Dec, 8 months), the "slowing" 4s sold 35 million last quarter (3 months)) |

Man, don't people have iFatigue? They keep dropping new products that are marginally better than their previous versions, and people line up to buy them. Good for them, but I'm bored with Apple. Gonna wait for the new Blackberry 10 with the keyboard, if it ever comes out.

Correct on resolution (should have been increased pixel count)- incorrect on all the others, based on everything I've read (I didn't say anything about storage). 1GB RAM, panorama/improved noise reduction/sapphire crystal rear camera, 1.2MP front camera.

So I just need to use the same ICloud ID on both devices? Then I think will let my office buy the 5 and I can keep the 4 which is unlocked. Sweet.
