[QUOTE=meppers;37646509]i think that's just the packaging if you buy the headphones by them self[/QUOTE] I dunno, on the site it says that it came with a case for it. I don't think it's simply a plastic baggie you would usually get. I think it's an actual case like the ones with earbuds with cases like this or something similar...

[QUOTE=Sumaher4;37646436]wait whaaaaat. $200?? [url]http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone[/url][/QUOTE] Requires new two-year wireless service contract;
I'm pretty sure those EarPods things are Apple's idea of IEMs, but without the soft silicone bits that make them comfortable and seal the sound for better bass and stuff.

[QUOTE=icemaz;37646625]Requires new two-year wireless service contract;[/QUOTE] And in Canada, it requires 3 and it will still cost more (I think it would be like $299 +3 year contract..?)
[QUOTE=frankie penis;37645566]probably gonna wait till the next iphone before i upgrade from my 4. really want [B]NFC[/B] to be on the next generation.[/QUOTE] it isn't happening, nfc reduces battery life, so Apple is now doing virtual credict cards via [URL="http://www.floridatoday.com/article/20120912/BUSINESS/120912020/Apple-Passbook-may-let-you-kiss-your-wallet-goodbye-"]passbook[/URL], so you have no need for NFC anymore good riddance too
NFC is kinda more insecure than other methods, you can litterally read credit cards and passports by passing by someone. More searching will find videos on the subject.
finally now since the iphone 4 is free i can upgrade from my free 3gs SCORE
[QUOTE=garychencool;37646831]NFC is kinda more insecure than other methods, you can litterally read credit cards and passports by passing by someone.

How well does Passport work without a constant internet connection?

I never knew that.
So magically innovative that it just works. Obligatory sentence fragment. [editline]12th September 2012[/editline] also whats with their advertising dictionary that doesn't include the word "the?" "The biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone." why do they hate "the"

That horrible, eh?

Back on topic, how good was the old headphones? never really tried it though. It retails for like 40 dollars. The new one looks nice
wow with those cameras filming porn will be a lot easier

Next Nexus device. iPhone 5 was a massive disappointment and the GNote 2 is just an improved Note I or larger Galaxy S III. It's only a 2-3 month wait anyways.
Be mainstream like all the cool hipsters and get an iPhone 5. It really depends on what you'll use it for, but just go to a carrier store and try a bunch of them out.
is the OP rated with a bunch of dumbs just because it's apple...?
