iPhone 5

At a certain thinness devices like this become awkward to hold and usability suffers. Not that I think Apple is there yet based on these leaked prototype images, but I have to disagree that thinner is always better for phones.

The thinner the better IMO.

To each, his own.

Personally I have never held or used any smartphone and felt it was too thin. When that day comes I'll say so. Until then I want the iPhone and its competition to get thinner and lighter.

Right, that's what the IMO stands for mate.

September 12th appears to be the date. So excited.

Ok, I get you. Was just pointing out that at a certain point these devices could get too thin. With the way technology is advancing, I wouldn't be surprised if we hit that wall soon enough.

Sept 12th sounds about right to me too.

What is all of this hubbub about it being $800? That is cool and all, but I'd much rather it be $1,000 or $1,200.

This $800 iPhone rumor was probably started by some 15 year old kid in the Kansas.

The pricing of the next iPhone will be identical to the 4S.

Damn, I was hoping it would be super expensive so I don't have to camp outside the Apple store with all of the riff-raff for 3 months after relsease date.

That made me laugh.

I don't understand why people bother waiting in line. Just pre-order the damn thing online. That's what I'm planning on doing.

Ditto, brah.

So they can tweet about being in line. Duh.

I'm having problems with Apple so I'm essentially being forced to sell my iPhone 4S 32GB. The one I currently have is unlocked to Sprint (only works on Sprint but works with anyone internationally) but I can get a brand new one that would work only with Sprint. If anyone is interested in either please let me know.

I don't understand why you are selling your iPhone. Problems with Apple?

Its kind of a convoluted story and I'm caught between Sprint and Apple. Its just easier to sell it and start over fresh with an unlocked 5 or something else. Ooh, that reminds me, I've still got AppleCare on it. Need to update my ad.
