Time to upgrade! Get an iPhone 12 mini + Unlimited Data for $60/mo
Biggest disappointment RE: the next iPhone...
- People have gotten rude. Also, people want info on future devices and ect. But then when individuals talk about what they know, they get flamed. Never use to happen that way. Things always change with info. Most of the rude posts come from people who have registered in 2011. Its the stuff you deal with on a growing forum.
While I don't see everything that you as a moderator can see behind the scenes, I do think "most" of the people except for maybe a few in 2011 came to this forum because they want to help others as well as gain a little knowledge from this site.

"FACT" "Take it or leave it." "...but I know better."
Those are all discussion ending phrases. And when someone disagrees and provides valid counterpoints? Out come the mocking (dare I say disrespectful?) comments questioning people's "track record" or "sources".
I value reasoned discourse, not blanket statements of claimed "fact". Very few people know what Apple plans to do and fewer know the product schedule they are trying to meet. It's great to speculate and give our reasons for our guesses, but let's leave out the "I know better." attitude.
Point & counterpoint. Repeat as needed. Maybe the discussion ends with agreeing to disagree, but disagreement is not disrespect.Premium1 likes this.09-14-2011 05:37 PMLike 1 - Just wanted to point out that not everyone who registered in 2011 are rude.

Part of me wants to wait, but I've never used the same phone for more than 8 months... until the 3GS, and now the 4. I'm one of those guys that before I started using iPhones I only used unlocked phones. I usually ordered the European variants so I could get them w/o any carrier lockdown or bloatware. I'm kind of interested in checking out another platform. I might keep my 4, upgrade to another phone OS to try, then upgrade when the 6th gen is released. I've never been as loyal to a smartphone OS as iOS. Plus the fact that I've only used Apple computers since 99 doesn't hurt.09-14-2011 06:24 PMLike 0
- Hmmm. If you are right, maybe this is going to be more of a software/feature upgrade than a hardware upgrade. As in, new processor, new camera, maybe not much else.09-15-2011 04:36 PMLike 0

OK, I will go over this one final time for those of you who do not read every post. At the time of me posting things that I learn I can say with utmost certainty that they are indeed fact. Can and will things change from time to time? Of course they can and if I hear something I come back and report here what I learn. I told you all October before any website, people didn't want to believe that and look where we are now...
I understand many of you want that super iPhone, if Apple has it in the pits of despair trust me I'd be the first in line to get one.Last edited by Jeremy Sikora; 10-04-2011 at 02:06 PM.

They could have done so much more, that's what sucks.10-04-2011 02:16 PMLike 2

That's fine and all, but I need a new phone, my home button doesn't work, thankfully I use activator to make an up down press of the volume buttons mimic the home button. Gets old though.
Plus I'm an impatient sob..10-04-2011 02:22 PMLike 0 - JeremyRetired ModeratorSo you're saying the true iPhone 5 will come out next year, and it will be the one to get?

Come next year this will be competing with competitor's phones that will be far far more advanced.
The whole 4G thing is pretty lame too, I'm always near a charge port of some sort.
I bet the lines will not be as long as they were when the 4 came out last year.10-04-2011 02:44 PMLike 0 - I'm just totally amazed that all they announced was stuff we already knew, just the bare bones obvious stuff.
