iPhone 5.

[Gally]

Got a deposit on the 4 so that's away to a friend for £180. Nice little earner and will pay for the 5 in 2 weeks time. Larrrvely!

 

[hodgy21]

Thoroughly enjoying my 5.

No connection issues, long battery life, no scuff marks, very slick performance and wonderfully light.

Much nicer than my girlfriends iPhone 4, IMO.

 

[Gouldy]

I want a 5 on O2, the only trouble is that my 4 is apparantly worth peanuts.

Two wks little Kevin.. My days the 5S will be launched..

 

[Gally]

I'm not into the S' range, it'll tide me over with updates until the 6 just like I did with the 4 brer'!

 

[Alan]

Meh - as humans we always want the newest item avails..

 

[Silent_Scone]

How much was delivery, selling my moms 4 for that amount on Mazuma next week?

Or did you just stick with the free delivery?

 

[Alan]

Sold my immaculate white 16GB 4S last Mon for 270£ on Gumtree.

 

[JJ!]

Think they may have been better off keeping the bezel silver, but hey, it's looks nicer until it chips.

I am a bit bemused at the finish of the bezel as its not very apple like!

If I was buying new in would still get a 4s, Shane they have stopped doing the 32gb though.

 

[Gally]

Anyone know if the White shows up dirty finger prints?

The 4 was glass over colour. Is the White 5 the same? Only used a Black one so far and never checked.

Why though lol

 

[Al_G]

Why though lol

LOL I know, they've got more important things to sort.

A dock is a dock at the end of the day.

 

[Munson]

Because it's awesome. Duh.

 

[Al_G]

Because it's awesome. Duh.

It looks nice, no doubt at a premium though.

 

[Alan]

Double post.

 

[VeinAST]

Awful cable that. The Nokia 8800 dock was alot more elegant solution.

I prefer that...much less fairground

 

[eugegall]

No docks out yet?

 

[Munson]

Pretty much decided I'm going to keep using my 4.

It's in concourse condition and I really don't need anything else.

If I do change my mind, I'll get a white 32GB. IMO right now you need to be a bit thick to get black.

Hardly, had mine since release day and not a single mark.

 

[Munson]

Well anyway, I just don't personally feel the need.

 

[seb]

keeping mine too as well. my 4 still works very well and is in good nick.

the major motivating factor will be when the proper 4g connection comes on line in my area. being rural it will probably be a while.

 

[Rasclart]

Same here I roll naked and black Not a Mark

 

[Alan]

Same - tho we must be 'thick' razzle..!

 

[Fletcher]

Me too. I've had my black one since release day, not used a case and have no marks or scratches.

 

[Munson]

I suppose it's possible that at some stage the anodising process was improved.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

I don't get the folks who say it's chipping/marking like mad.

I've just come back from South America, travelling and using it a lot....not a single mark.

Are these they same retards who dropped their 4s?

 

[Waitey]

My black 5 is fine as well.

What are people doing to them?

 

[Tom]

My black 5 is fine as well.

Putting them in pockets with keys/coins, dropping them, placing them on stupid surfaces.

Its aluminum, its soft.

Still not a mark on mine.

 

[Waitey]

Mines lived with keys and coins so far.

Mine is therefore awesome.

 

[lewisredfern001]

Mines immaculate and I'm very happy with the battery life, day.one charge was a little worrying but it's now solid and from 7am-11pm I still have approx 20% with good amount of usage

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Definitely a better battery than the 4S. I can go a solid two days on my 5.

And why the f**k would you put a phone in the same pocket as keys/coins?!! Common sense guys!

 

[172boost]

Still not a mark on mine.

Which is an excellent reason NOT to use it for the casing on a phone.

 

[Munson]

Well clearly some people are just retarded, but with some handsets being chipped out of the box, there has to be at least some truth in it all. It is entirely plausible that the anodising has been improved. Hard anodised for example? Does anyone know if its raw aluminium, or an alloy? The former is super soft.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

We have some equipment at work that analyses elemental composition, might give it a try when I'm next in the office.

 

[Tom]

Which is an excellent reason NOT to use it for the casing on a phone.

What else do you use?

Its anodised 6000 series aluminum.

 

[Munson]

What else do you use?

Stainless is hard as nails but heavier. Also, I'm no radio communications specialist, but being non ferrous, is it possible that aluminium is better for letting radio waves in and out?

EDIT: so it's an alloy. Expected it would be. Can't be THAT soft then.

 

[Tom]

No radio transparency is worse with aluminum. Im guessing thats the reason for the inlays.
