Foxconn Worker Says iPhone 5 Arrives This June

Seriously, Samsung should buy Apple and discontinue all iP products, keeping the patents.

960x540?

iPhone 5, Coming soon to a bar near you.

If it does come out in June all the people who changed from a 4 to a 4s are going to feel pretty stupid for not waiting for the 5.

It will surely look the same as the last 2 phones...

What's the point of waiting? Just get what's available and in your budget. Otherwise you will wait forever because the latest and greatest is just around the corner.

" iPhone 4S production didn't didn't gear up until Spring 2011"

So it DID gear up???

They're not going to change the aspect ratio of the screen to 1.77:1, let alone lower the resolution by 100 pixels horizontally.

Furthermore, what's the point of increasing the screen size and keeping the same (or slightly less) resolution? If your answer is that bigger makes it easier to see, you are arguing against the whole idea of the 'retina' display in the first place (i.e. more ppi is better).

Why does Samsung still supplying chips to this F* company when they are suing them?

It's better to keep the same resolution from a developer perspective -- less fragmentation, no need to rebuild apps specifically for iPhone5, etc. If the size does go up to 4", most certainly it will retain the retina display with the same resolution -- granted, the display will be slightly lower PPI ...but to little a difference to notice while everything else remains the same. In other words, the better of both evils (fragmenting with new resolution OR slightly lower and unnoticeable PPI with same resolution), I'd choose the later.

Cue 5 months of gossip, suspected specifications and rumours for the phone to be released and less than 10% of it all to be true.

Time to start barhopping in case one gets left behind.

iPhone 4.2 or is it 1.x?

I don't think that the people who did that even have the capacity to feel 'pretty stupid' since they're going to hand over their money to Apple even if the iPhone 5 is just the same as the 4S with a new name.

Anyways.

I wonder how the new 28nm process will affect the battery life... will it finally last a whole day?
Also, will the antenna actually work properly (instead of "you're holding it wrong")?
Will the phone be more durable so it doesn't break when dropped (like, say, the Galaxy/Nexus S)?

So many unknowns, so much time.

Yeah, and more expensive than the last 2.

Surly it will be more iCrap to further defraud clueless tech- zombies. I wont be seen with one even if Apple gave to me.

The antenna issue in the iPhone 4 was a non-issue for 99.9% of users, and they gave out free-cases anyway to solve it.

The antenna issue in the iPhone 4S doesn't exist.

iPhone has the longest battery life in numerous tests, compare to Android if you want a laugh.

I've never dropped my phone, I have coordination. :-)

Oh - and logical people who buy the iPhone 4S for logical reasons instead of stupid inaccurate BS like the load you spouted, wouldn't buy it unless it was a significant improvement. Since the iPhone 4S is already the fastest phone on the market it's clearly an improvement over previous models.

yeah I feel stupid for selling my iPhone 4 for 350 and buying my 4S for 199.

If Samsung stopped supplying chips to Apple, they would have a massive hole in their bank account, thats why.

Brazil goes nuts for iPhone as Apple, Foxconn get local http://blogs.computerworld.com/193 [...] _get_local

From what I've seen with my buddy's 4S, he can't get past one day without plugging it in. Sad thing is, he doesn't have a choice of an extended battery inside the phone, so he needs now to buy a battery/case combo, and they're pretty fugly. Keep in mind the processor is already underclocked as it is, and they kept the screen a meager 3.5inch, just to make it last longer, to no avail. IMO, the 4S was a step backwards. Apple needa to "invent" the 4+ inch screen, and then maybe sue everybody that is already using that, just to catch up with the rest of the world.

Oh goodie now we will soon hear of another murder of a Foxconn worker. Someone didn't learn from the example they made of Sun Danyong just for losing a iPhone prototype.

I guess they had to wait for Steve Jobs to die before they could jump up to bigger screens, I guess "Think Different" only applies when you are trying to get people to use your products, then when they do it becomes "Think What We Tell You".

Well done if it is true, but I would still like to see an iPhone Nano

iPhone 4S has just about the best battery life of any phone right now.

You can also use a mobile charger the size of a spare battery if you want, which is no different to carrying around a spare battery. Which phone are you talking about which lets you use an 'extended battery' without changing the shape of the phone?

4S still the fastest phone ever made and you say it's 'backwards' - someone certainly is.

My wife have an iphone 4s, which doesn't last a whole day with a single charge, well my Motorola Razor droid doesn't last a whole day with a single charge either, but umm i receive hundreds of emails from work daily on it and i answer them from my phone and my wife doesn't. Also i listen to music on my phone and i normally never charge my phone in the night i charge it the next day. And my wife wanted a phone like mine, she say is so skinny and sexy and the GPS on it work like a car gps and her iphone gps doesn't

Sounds like you have one of a small percentage of faulty batteries. You should get it looked at.

My girlfriends iPhone 4s can last days and days without charging., that's with lots of music listening, web browsing, emails and taking photos. I personally have an iPhone 4 and I can receive hundreds of emails all week before it needs charging.

My girlfriend specifically wanted the iPhone 4S because I had an Android before which was god awful (kept crashing, slow-downs, awful battery) - she was insistent. We use her iPhone 4S for car GPS without any problems.

the Foxconn's roof leaked...

Dude, everyone's mileage may vary. At the end of the day, it's just a phone.
Some people on this forum take it rather personally when their favorite iToy gets some negative reviews from others. like they have some personal interest invested in Apple (which they might have). They tend to forget that other people might have had different experiences than themselves. Just don't get in conversation with these slaves, you will not be able to change their mind, as they already "know" the "truth" and everyone that reports different does not. Most of them just kids that went out and spent their allowance on some expensive toy and they try to minimize the buyer's remorse.
You wife's experience is precisely what my friend's was. To add to that, my manager's previous phone (iP4) reigned on top of his desk for a while with a huge crack in the glass backplate, thus negating the claims of durability as well. Oh, well.... He went back to a BB that he uses for work, and has a Moto Droid (can't remember which one off the top of my head) for his personal use. I also have a couple of employees that use iPhones and they can never get too far from their chargers.
Going back to extended batteries: there are models out there available for handsets that offer removable batteries; I have an extended one in my Nexus S and I see the charger only twice/week. The fact that they come with custom backplates makes using a case obsolete, and as such I only use a screen protector foil to avoid scratches in the pocket from keys and such. As I said, it's only a phone, no need to elevate it to fetish status. It's an older model, but still does plenty that an iOS user can only dream of. That's my mileage.

So your argument is 2 people claim battery problems, and that glass breaks.... who knew?

I've seen and heard hundreds of cases of Android battery life failures, who is ignoring what, who's trying to change who's mind, who's the 'kid', given that Android users are, on average, younger, less educated and paid less?

Durability wasn't claimed. User competence was.

No wonder you need an extended battery on your Nexus S...

I don't see the charger even once a week on my iPhone 4 - don't even use a screen protector it's absolutely fine.

When you start referring to someone who contradicts your point of view, someone with evidence, someone backed by thousands of similar people and all independent reviews who expose the poor battery life in Android, as 'kids' or 'slaves' - you are the one who reaches fetish status, ironically. 'That everyone reports different'? Please, which phones consistently top the customer satisfaction surveys? Which phone leads the battery life chart I just gave you? And of course, which phone is currently outselling all Android phones?

So you still haven't said anything it 'does' which 'iOS user' can only dream of?

Sounds like you have one of a small percentage of working iPhones. You should get it looked at

lol, would be funnier if true...customer satisfaction ratings, independent reviews.

Nuf sed.
