New iPhone this October??

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Yeh of course some r****d will offer something like that.

I would probably try on here first then failing that go for the recycle.

Re: iPhone 5 this October??

Thing is I doubt many will sell if everyone is doing the same thing trying to sell them?

Mine will go to recycling.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Very true.

At least recycling is hassle free.

Re: iPhone 5 this October??

Mine's immaculate as well, I'd begrudge giving it away at the same price Billy can get after smearing his jam sandwiches all over it.

Demand increases for the 4S at the same time because people know they will be cheaper and they are really good phones.

Re: iPhone 5 this October??

Just had a look at prices for recycling my 4. £190 seems to be the best so far. Think I might get rid now and roll with my good old Nokia for a few months.

 

[Chapppers11]

Re: iPhone 5 this October??

Would make sense, annoying micro-sim won't fit now though, is there an adapter?

 

[Gally]

Phone up your provider or chop your old one.

 

[Chapppers11]

Re: iPhone 5 this October??

I've got one in my 4S, just wondering how you would go back to a 3GS?

Re: iPhone 5 this October??

I wonder how much I'll get for my white 64GB.

Adapter.

Re: iPhone 5 this October??

I'll be using Vodafone buy back if I decide to go for the new handset. £190 they are paying for iPhone 4's at the moment.

Re: iPhone 5 this October??

Turns out my phone is classed as 'non-working' (power button issue). That's that plan down the shitter then.

Brilliant reporting.

[Gally]

I don't even class it as journalism. They are a parody of themselves.

 

[paddymph]

Yeah the above is the final design. The materials might change, but thats it.

Serious question Tom, how do you know this stuff?

Sky news has a good read on the iPhone 5 and the new problem we could be facing

Lols! I really cannot understand the problem! Jesus H, you would think they killed someone! Things change! You can't use PS2 pads with a PS3 FFS! They used to change charger shapes all the time!

Re: iPhone 5 this October??

I hope they do relocate the headphone jack from the top to bottom. Hate it.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Re: iPhone 5 this October??

I'm not too keen on the Aluminium backing on the picture Gally posted. I prefer to go without a case but will be happy to have one if it looks like that!

 

[DannyR]

The Nokia one got smaller and smaller every other year FFS and it didn't need to.

Apple will only be changing because they have to.

 

[Tom]

The dock is old, doesn't support usb3 and crucially takes up a HUGE amount of space. It's not some evil plan to make money. It's evolution.

 

[eugegall]

Re: iPhone 5 this October??

Its annoying the s**t out of me how much the media and putting into this dock thing. Its not even an issue FFS.

 

[Jay.S]

Re: iPhone 5 this October??

If the phone is staying roughly the same size then why change the size of the port, fair enough if they wanted to go for a ultra slim or small design but they won't.

 

[DannyR]

As I said above Apple have to change it due to euro laws or something about charger ports all being proper USB

 

[Tom]

Unlikely. It might have the ability to charge via micro USB. But the port will be proprietary.

It is a pain, I dock mine into a Bose thing every night, that gig cost £300, as long as there is an adapter that will do the trick ill be happy.

Even the equipment at the gym has iPad docks built into them, you'll have to carry the adapter around with you so you can use it places like that.

It is evolution, but still a pain in the ass!

Re: iPhone 5 this October??

Why are people so f**king thick?!

But some iPhone owners questioned whether even an adapter would help.

"With a smaller connector, what am I going to do with my loudspeaker at home and the fitness pack that I use when I go to the gym? That's the question," said 24-year old Travis Tam, who owns an iPhone 4.

"I feel that the premium gap between the next iPhone 5 and newest Android models is getting much smaller these days.

"That will mean that details such as having a smaller connector will mean more in whether I will continue to use an iPhone and switch to other Android phones."

1) He doesn't HAVE to upgrade. His iPhone 4 works with his docks and accessories. Keep it.

2) How is changing to Android, where NONE of his products will work, with any adapter, a better idea?

Re: iPhone 5 this October??

Lol, actual flannel.

Travis, lay off the shark juice and get an education. Save your money and keep your iPhone...

1) Eventually that iPhone will pack up on him... then what?
2) Not going to help him at all, granted.

What about all the cars with proprietory iThing connectors though? Also, what about iPods? Will the classic disappear altogether or just replace the traditional conncetor with the new one?

 

[Gally]

Re: iPhone 5 this October??

Travis is a plank! I hope the retards buy Android I really do! It actually makes me angry!

 

[Revels]

Re: iPhone 5 this October??

Everything will get the new port eventually.

There will be adapters. But there will be new docks/systems etc.

Things change. Things get made better. That's just how it is.

Sweeping statement is debateable, but not here.

Exactly. Interfaces change ALL the time, but with it being such a house hold item it's affecting more people and they're noticing it. But try explaining to Joe Blogs or TRAVIS about USB 3.0. He won't give a flying fcuk, yet when everything seems that much faster he'll nod and smile and appreciate it. Like a gormless dog in a happy home...

They should start vetting owners.

Doesn't help, credit checks just aren't what they used to be.

and if any kind of intelligence was required there'd be a sharp drop-off of sales

 

[Gally]

Re: iPhone 5 this October??

I'd settle for the drop in sales and profit just so they didn't attract retards!

If I hear one more time that the brand new Samsung is better than the iPhone4 i'll go on a killing spree!

No one gives a s**t! Do you realise how long the 4 has been out for and it's still one of the best on the market!
