This actually fucks me off that kids these days won't buy this for the new feature(s), they'll just get it because "They have the new iPhone 5"
[QUOTE=Contag;32624360]For what reasons would you need 1GB of ram with a 1.2 ghz processor?[/QUOTE] specific's aren't reliable right now anyway.
I have an iPhone 4, and I've never understood this obsession with getting the newest phone... I mean, even when the white one came out! When this one breaks, I'll probably just buy whichever gen is one older than the newest one at a steep discount. Someone explain the iPhone obsession to me? Who can afford this?

They will look from the back of it without remembering.
[QUOTE=Contag;32624360]For what reasons would you need 1GB of ram with a 1.2 ghz processor?[/QUOTE] Samsung Galaxy S II. My guess is that it's pretty much a rebranded "Exynos" processor.
[QUOTE=Combine 177;32624452]Ask a person who owns iPhone how much GB does his/her own have. They will look from the back of it without remembering.[/QUOTE] I laughed, and then felt bad because it'll probably work most of the time.

[B]Tim Cook[/B]: 10:15AM - iPhone: “What’s amazing is that the iPhone 4 has sold over half of our total iPhones sold in the entire time we’ve been selling iPhones. It’s the number [B]one[/B] smartphone in the world. I say cut the shit.

[quote](Observation: his voice isn't as mellifluous as Jobs's; Cook's is more of a croak, with a Texan twang. Jobs's would range up and down the scale, but Cook's is more direct. It's less relaxing to listen to.)[/quote] Top-rate journalism. Truly informative and to-the-point.

[QUOTE]10:26AM - “We’ll affix Apple designed postage to the card.” Of course you will! $2.99 in the US, $4.99 anywhere else. Oct 12th. 10:25AM - “We’ll print it on high quality 100% cotton paper.” Nice! They’ll print it and mail it — push notification on mail delivery through USPS. “Very cool.” Applause. Hmm, paper.

It doesn't feel like an informative release of some new technology, showing new features or why it'll be better for x reasons. It just feels like an ad. One big ad.

any live stream from the event that isn't text or 12 year olds talking about the new iphone
[QUOTE=Dubious George;32624613]And Apple wants to appeal to the more dedicated market how?[/QUOTE] Dude, Apple users eat this shit up. They want to be "entertained," not bored with technical speech and in-depth demos. I don't necessarily agree with it, but it obviously works. [QUOTE=Jelly;32624623]Except their keynotes aren't for consumers.[/QUOTE] Just stock holders? I think it's safe to say that at least Apple's following probably pays more attention to this sort of thing.
