Happening right now: Apple to announce iPhone 5, new iPods, probably other stuff

[Occlusion2018]

New connector sounds good, why do hardly any connectors work both ways?

[icemaz]

Does "reversible" mean I can use the connector both rotations?

This is change I can get behind, so many times trying to put a USB in the wrong way round.

I hope the taller screen doesn't mean taller portrait videos with the camera

[person12]

Sometimes I get the impression that Apple is run by three or four people

USB is polarised, I suspect that you'd burn out your device if you managed to plug it in incorrectly.

They said 1080p. 1080p is 1920x1080.

Cool fact: Google has a [url=http://www.google.com/patents/US20090249247?printsec=drawing#v=onepage&q&f=false]patent pending[/url] on Android's notification system. If it goes through, Apple are in big trouble

I tend to ignore any claims made about a phones camera anymore. They always get that foggy effect from being in your pocket anyway.

[The Baconator]

so according to the New York times the iPhone 5 screen has 40% more color saturation, making it's colors the most accurate of any screen on the market

[Lordofdafood]

Is there any livestreams of the event? much prefer watching an event live then just seeing people write / post a few pictures about it.

[QUOTE=acds;37643239]Problem with games is, do people really care about phone games that aren't simple, light time wasters?[/QUOTE]

I played NFS HP on an iPad, and I asked myself "Why would anyone want to play anything on a tablet?"
Controlling the car with the screen positioning thing is awful. It WOULD be bearable if it had a virtual control pad.

[smurfy]

Looks like they're wrapping up the iPhone 5 part. What now?

[QUOTE=smurfy;37643358]Wait

Did Apple just claim to have invented [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wideband_audio]wideband audio[/url]

I am pretty sure that just happened[/QUOTE]

I haven't been paying too much attention, but it's most certainly some bullshit that only works between iPhone users.

[smurfy]

Propaganda video now being shown. The word "OBEY" is being flashed repeatedly between shots

jrpg's and other japanese games with lots of menus (Phoenix Wright) are a dream on smartphones and tablets

There are already phones out there with wideband audio, there have been for a few years but it hasn't been massive. Most likely it will take off now and everyone will think Apple invented it

Ipad with gamepad support and a better stand.

[Lord_Schrotty]

Where is the headphone jack?

Carrier-specific bullshit, then.

Fucking killed me.

[person12]

Now someone figure out of the A6 is quad core or dual core. Actually, does it make a difference?

[smurfy]

Still no NFC huh

[person12]

Also, I love the snarky attitude of The Verge when they do these events

[QUOTE=person11;37643624]Now someone figure out of the A6 is quad core or dual core. Actually, does it make a difference?[/QUOTE]

They said 2x the speed so I assume quad.

[smurfy]

Now they're just having another wank, this time over the design

I wouldn't have nearly as much of an issue with Apple were it not for the PHENOMENAL amount of pretentiousness that flows from them. Ooo, a bigger display. As though other phones haven't been doing that for years.

[Egonny]

So basically, only hardware upgrades to catch up with current smartphones? Meh.

Kinda surprised by this.
