I have had every iPhone from first on and I can honestly say I still love apple products. On my iPad now and have samsung tab galaxy II as well. BUT..... I recently bought a Samsung galaxy S4. Apple is Very far behind theses days. Thea S4 is a far superior phone compared to 5 and 5s for matter. I was hoping apple would step up to at least be equal with Samsung or HTC one. But nope. Still behind. I am hopeful that the 6 will be redesigned.... But by then there will a new android phone out that can be even better.

Samsung Galaxy S4!! 20,000,000 people can't be wrong

I miss Steve J

NSA probably already has your prints haha with the amount of information they have on everyone I truly would not be surprised.

I also like the screen size of my 4S currently so i won't mind going a little bigger with the 5S but I also do not want to get into notebook size.

either way I am going heading to the store on the 13th to either place my order for the 5S or to try out some of the droids especially the droid Maxx that Marc was talking about!

Save yourself an unnecessary trip. For reasons I'm not privy to, there does not appear to be any pre-ordering for the 5S. Just the 5C. Not sure what Apples thinking is but apparently you have to try to beat the crowds on the 20th.

The 5s is a great piece of hardware without question. I'm more disappointed with iOS 7 and the lack of new features it has. True multitasking is something that apple MUST add in iOS 8 or I'm out.

You can call up your carrier and pre-order on the 13th from what i heard. I could be wrong, but it doesn't really make a lot of sense if they are not allowing any pre-orders.

either way something tells me that the 5s will be readily available it isn't 2007 anymore and everyone doesn't want an iPhone lol I wish i sold my apple stock yesterday. I bought it in college at 63 bucks so still can't complain =)

Hopefully the Iphone 6 is a huge innovation and the stock shoots through the roof again

If the camera is improved I'm in. Camera is improved, I'm buying. 99% of pics are taken by my iPhone. I would now pay $2000 if my iPhone 4 and 4s old photos could be converted to this new quality.

The rest is just big bonus.

I upgrading from Black berry on Oct 1st, will get iPhone but probably used 5 since I can probably get cheap, and I think new 5s features are exciting for me. My son and wife have the 5 and no problems.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that you're not gonna have to do that. With all the various outlets now to order phones I don't think there will be a shortage.

True, but based on the rumors, the iPhone 5S will be in short supply, so I will be ordering as soon as it opens at 3:01am EST to secure one. Not that I am Appple fanboy, but I'll be upgrading from an iPhone 5, thanks to my wife's upgrade She'll be getting my hand me down iPhone. It's called upgrade swapping! I used my upgrade last year to get the 5.

And I'll also be grabbing one of the new Apple iPhone 5S leather cases. My combo hopes to be silver iPhone 5S and black case.

On a related note, I just upgraded to ios 7. It's an interesting change, but a good one I think. Now, to figure it out.

You guys like it?????????


I HATE it. It has no contrast whatsoever so I can't tell what I'm doing. I don't like swiping to the left to delete. I think it seems like a knock off. Everything is so simplistic that it bothers me. The web doesn't look like web. Heck look at the stick figure weather.

I despise this upgrade. Its mind blowing how bothered I am by it. I have never had a problem before with an upgrade until now. Gotta figure out how to go back. Might even buy a used phone with it installed if I can't go back.

When I was driving to work this morning at 7am, I heard on the radio that there were already 1000 people queueing up outside the Apple store in the Sydney CBD waiting to get the new iphone which launched here today! I guess the hype is still there.

I love iOS 7! Almost so plain, simple and primitive. So cool and refreshing. A whole new look and feel.

Now bring on the iPhone 5S :)

Typing this from a GS4. This phone sucks, so much lag. And no I don't want to install anything, I just want it to work the way I buy it.
The huge screen is cool too look at but a an equal huge pain in the ass to use one handed. Very difficult to reach across the big screen, my hands aren't that small either.
Bought this one unlocked and will sell it at a loss to fund an Iphone 5s.
