iPhone 5?

[JD]

Whats the Vodafone early upgrade time? 30 or 60 days? Contract officially ends 2nd Sept this year?

I was under the impression it was 3 months. Certainly has been in the past.

PM 172Ben, he's a man

EFA. I clearly voted incorrectly in the other thread.

 

[Gally]

Hmmm my contract is up in march time iirc and i've been looking at the 4. Will wait and see what comes of the 5 maybe. I hate coming out of contract then goihng back in once the phone is released to be honest.

I'm sure Vodafone could set it up that you go on a rolling one until the phone comes out?

Enlighten ? He was very very helpful for all questions I had over PM.

70days early upgrade for vodafone

70days early upgrade for vodafone

Explain xxx

 

[172Ben]

You can upgrade 70 days before your contract end date.

Its 6 months early online, but you do pay alot more to do so.

 

[The Boosh!]

So if I wait while new iphone is released to upgrade I can do so 70days early ? (Just to be clear, delete this after ifyou want)

 

[jenic]

You been drinking Luke? Whats not to get?

 

[172Ben]

Not sure what you mean.

If you're on a 24 month contract lets say, you can upgrade within the last 70 days

 

[Gaz.]

Ah flaps, my upgrade is the end of February, contract ends in May. Looks like I'll not be able to hold out without ending the contract and starting afresh, or just getting a 4.

What's the point in that? Unless you're trying to hide something from the lady

Which other phones can do that?

Seeing as it's advertised as a business phone it has terrible security, you can hack the passcode and you've access to emails, accounts, invoices, documents etc. You can have multiple emails aswell.

Hmm..

No front camera but different mic placement to better video calls? Lol

 

[AK]

iWant one now

 

[mugglesquop]

any more details?

 

[unofficialPete]

So what are the odds of a 4Gs or 5G in June/July, I can't be arsed to upgrade from 3Gs to 4G, don't see any benefit. Its been pretty annual so far, don't see why that won't continue?

 

[Revels]

100% there will be a new iPhone.

That's not the next gen iPhone.

It's the Verizon iPhone 4. Slight re-design and no SIM slot. Check the pics at the bottom.

[welshname]

a little birdy told me that there will be no button on the ipad 2 and it will be unlocked etc using gestures. i also heard this will be the case with the iphone 5.

 

[Revels]

No. That's wrong.

 

[welshname]

No. That's wrong.

is it?

 

[Revels]

Yes.

 

[welshname]

Fair enough. do you work for apple?

 

[Christopher]

Jonathan Ive's always said they'll be an analogue sleep/wake button on their mobile devices for reliability and safety.

Ironically, it's one of the iPhone 4's weak points.

sleep/wake button - yes

'home' button on the front - no - maybe on the next gen, but there are rumours that they are going to remove it with the 4 and 5 finger touch stuff replacing it.

 

[Revels]

And what happens if you don't have 4 or 5 fingers?

There will always be a home button.

 

[welshname]

i heard from an inside source otherwise. hense my saying so.

 

[Revels]

Of course you did.

The gestures have already been removed by Apple at the latest beta.

 

[welshname]

its a statement. i heard it from an inside source. not a matter of yes or no.

I know that now. At the time of posting verizon was all just speculation

 

[Sym0n]

"Inside source" where exactly? PC World? McDonalds? Apple? Asda? You can't make a statement and not back it up with fact, that's just speculating.

I can't see physical buttons being completely scrapped from the new device and replaced with gestures, what happens if the device locks up; there needs to be a way to reboot it? Gestures will come to the new iDevice but what they will be or do I've no idea, but four or five fingers is far too much for an iPhone screen.

P.S. The first letter after a full stop should be a capital.

1) If it was an inside source where on earth do you think it came from? If it wasnt from apple it wouldnt be an inside source now would it?
2) I thought this was an internet forum, not my secondary school english essay. why the f**k should i spend my time making sure my grammar is perfect?
3) What i meant was no home button. i would imagine there will still be a lock button.

I read they were getting rid of the home button too, can't remember where, maybe macrumours

 

[Revels]

There were gestures added to 4.3.1b that enabled you to navigate out of apps etc without the need of the home button. 5 finger pinches etc.

So people presumed that meant the home button was going.

4.3.2b doesn't have the gestures in.

It's a s**t idea for it to take the place of the home button. Part of why the iPhone/iPad work so well is ease of use. Give it to anyone they get on with it, can navigate around. Start having to explain 5 finger pinches and it loses it's star quality.

They might be an addition but they'll never be instead of. Rhys is talking out of his arse. The people that would know about this would be in the tens. Not the sort of people that are going to tell you about it over a beer! LOL Sneeks' mate had an early iPhone at one point, wouldn't even let him touch it, told him nothing at all.

 

[welshname]

Who are you to say who I do and do not know?

It's what I've been told by a good friend. Not some douche in the pub

 

[Christopher]

Where does he work? No one outside of Cupertino is that reliably informed, this early.

Does he work at Phones 4U?

 

[Alexiooo]

spot on. i wish everyone knew this... it would save me explaining everyday to customers that i know nothing more than the general public...

 

[Christopher]

It's crazy mate, I bet you want to stab everyone. I know I would.

I went to a networking event the other morning and there was this know-it-all media c*nt who was telling everyone he knew that the new iPhone was out in May and it had a slide out keyboard. I kept quiet; but inside I was screaming.

 

[sn00p]

I know somebody in Cupertino.

I was most definitely one of the earliest people to see a 3G in the flesh after it was announced. Even despite the fact that it had been announced, I was not allowed to touch it or take photographs of it. (It had serial numbers etched into the glass).

The people within the iPhone group don't let make idle chat about future devices. The whole "leak" on the iPhone 4 was because somebody lost a field test phone.

Everything you hear is nothing more than speculation.
