Oh good, you can use Siri to update your Facebook status. Note to self: avoid Siri after 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.

Edit: Bahahah CNet agrees
 
Phone looks great.. It's thinner, has a bigger screen, better camera, better wifi. What more do we want? I'll stick with my iphone 4 one more year I think. Why replace something that's still working great?

You'll get the cord with the phone so don't really know why you would need the adaptor unless you just wanted it to use with your old cords.

Two issues that cause uproar.
1. Many people built the iPhone connector into their home audio and other areas.
2. Making the adapter proprietary is brutal.

It wreaks of no other reason than to profit on early adopters and supporters and estimates say well over 100 million in revenue from that alone. This is the reason proprietary is garbage in electronics and only this company could get away with it like this.

Couldn't you say the exact same thing about USB to Micro USB? That wasn't exactly a fun little change.
 
The new iphone is as thin as the current iphones silver band around the outside. Thats pretty dang thin.

You could in a sense, but it was not company proprietary, so many companies were available to make it at launch keeping costs low.

Looks like they went with the lighter/smaller/thinner route instead of making the battery life longer. I'm ok with that.

True. How long you think till the knockoff components come out? I'm thinking Christmas.
 
I wonder when pre-order starts?
 
Looks like lots of good little improvements were made. I may get one when my contract expires.
 
Yup, I'm a lemming and I'll have one.

Plus, I've already bought so many damn apps its hard to NOT stay apple.
