I don't understand how you can commit and scream to the world that you'll buy it before even seeing it or evaluating how it fits your need.

Don't get me wrong, I'm on a 4S and I'll more than likely get the 5/whatever-the-name-is but I'm not a Mactard at any and all costs. Always apply critical thinking.

I've been using an Imac and an Iphone for a few years now and I really like them. What I can't understand is that Apple announcements of a new product make it to the evening news in my country. After all it's just a phone or a computer or whatever...

On the other hand, it's quite an achievement. Can't think of a company right now that can pull of the same trick.

Thank you! My sentiments entirely. I'll absolutely give the iPhone 5 a look to see if I should continue using iPhones, but I've recently started playing with other phones and mobile O/S' to see whats up, and I'm astonished by the simple, seemingly intuitive things they let me do that iOS refuses to let me do...

Now, if you do your homework and research and determine that the iPhone 5 is for you - god bless, you've made an informed decision. Always apply critical thinking is right, just because the iPhone works for you just fine, what's to say that the new Android product won't work even better for you. You'll never know unless you try it.

Others suggest that it will be called the iPhone 5.

I won't own any Apple products either.

It's going to be interesting to see how long their winning streak continues.

2 million iPhone 5 ordered the first 24 hours!

They're saying the iPhone 5 alone might raise the US GDP by 0.5%. That's also insane .

Here's a pretty interesting blog about "things Apple is worth more than":

http://thingsappleisworthmorethan.tumblr.com/

At $695, Apple was worth more than the entire 1977 US Stock Market. NUTS!
