Apple Media Event 9/12: Announcements and Discussion (1 Viewer)

Yeah, I can't figure out what's up on the GPS thing. That was something I took as an almost given in the 5.

Thank you everyone for joining us today. Fun event!

TWiT TV has confirmed that the iPhone headphone jack remains on top. So that rumor was wrong.

Oops. TWiT was wrong and the rumors were right. Headphone jack has been moved to the bottom:

?? The iPhone 5 has GPS, just like every iPhone. I think Steve was wishing for GPS in the Nano.

 

[Sam Posten]

GPS will come to the nano when they make it the iPhone Nano =p

You know, if they're going to continue to sell the classic, they should upgrade the storage to 256 GB and add Bluetooth. Then I'd buy another one.

And this is the stuff you won't see in the leaks:

If you care about this stuff design matters. If you value tweakabilty there are alternatives. You can't have it both ways.

 

[Craig S]

Ugh. The adapters for the new port aren't shipping until October. Hope they're making tons of those.

 

[Hanson]

Just the right way?

I know this is going to sound fanboi-ish, but I do love that chamfer. Going to have to think hard about covering it with a case.

 

[Sam Posten]

I'll plan to keep mine caseless until there is a mophie available for it. I use my mophie for protection, the extra battery is just gravy. But with the removal of the glass back I'm sure I could live without it.
I am still confused about transferring from one carrier to the other. That doesn't seem obvious in their FAQs.

 

[Steve_Tk]

One of the items I was worried about was seeing the rumors and noting the phone looked like plastic. I guess those were those fake models they use as mock ups in stores. The way it's built, after watching the new video on apple.com does look very nice.

Hey Apple...

I'm new at this smart phone stuff, but it seems like certain fanboys of one phone like to rain on the parade of others that own a different phone. I'm not cool with that.
