Good eye, that wasn't there last night

No big surprise prices are the same as the 4S.

If you're gung-ho on upgrading to the iPhone 5 and have a mountain of old accessories from previous generations of the iPhone and iPod, this is the ugly adapter you'll need to buy for all of your deprecated gear. The iPhone 5 introduces a new, and considerably smaller, Lightning connector that's incompatible with every single Dock Connector accessory ever released.

It's officially called the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter and is available for pre-order for $29 starting today, while it ships in October. Wait, what? If you were hoping to use your new iPhone 5 with your old accessories next week, that's apparently not going to happen for at least a few more weeks.

Nano-SIM
iPhone 5 is not compatible with existing micro-SIM cards.

[Aaron 2NR]

digicel is not going to provide the sim since the iphone is not a brand they carry....sux

Apple announced US pricing for the unlocked iPhone 5.

16GB - $649
32GB - $749
64GB - $849

Same as the iPhone 4S, unlike the $50 CAD increase in Canada.

But a report from TheVerge states that it may not be available in the US for several weeks. I am not sure what exactly is the status of the factory unlocked in the US at this point. I'd like to think the US of all places would have all options available from the get go.

Question:
you think that iOS6 would allow Siri (on the 4S) to do what Siri (on the 5) does?

I saw a post before about iOS6 allowing the 4S to take panoramas & that question of Siri came to mind.

I'm not sure if it was discussed before.

Yup.

[GTcruzer]

Then I see no need for me to upgrade to a 5 now... Especially with my 4S in a lifeproof case & headache over nanosim.

*Decision made*

[pete]

Will the iPhone 4 get iOS6?

[mojosodope]

Will the iPhone 4 get iOS6?

Yup no panorama feature tho

http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/

Scroll to the bottom.

[kurpal_v2]

I think down to the 3GS gets ios6

[SRASC]

iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, 5
iPad 2, 3
iPod touch 4G, 5G

all get iOS 6

[pete]

Weird that they didn't allow the 4 to get the panorama.. Should be more than capable of doing it..

It was a hidden project in iOS 5.0.x termed firebreak. If one was jailbroken it could have been enabled. For some reason or the other they didn't enable it in final ios6 for i4. In any case 360 Panorama does an ok job.

I believe it's probably because of the processor capabilities of the i4? According to apple the maximum resolution for one of those panoramas is 28mp.

Then again Siri can run (although a bit slow) on an i4 yet it wasn't enabled too.

*Decision made*

the advantage of the 5 would really be speed since the processor is supposed to be twice as fast as the 4S

[SRASC]

US unlocked no option confirmed

Canada unlocked option confirmed

[Sully]

US unlocked no option confirmed

Canada unlocked option confirmed

Damn. And I was just about to go pre-order a couple.

Yea. I know this. But that speed isn't really a demand for me. The speed on my 4S is good right now. Even the lack of LTE isn't bothering me.

[firstchoicett]

Hmmm hope I get mines by early next month.

Does anyone know if an Ipad 3 can be tethered to a blackberry curve 9300 on Digicel's 4G network? I am contemplating on taking out a 4G plan with digicel (LINK), but only if I can tether the phone to my Ipad (I don't really like surfing the net on a phone). I would be grateful for some assistance on how to tether it (if it can be tethered that is).

[Bezman]

just spoke to apple - as of now they don't know the date they will release the unlocked phones - the ones being released are with a 2 yr contract

had a friend call apple yesterday, no confirmed date... dunno where you would get a Nano Sim from anyway.. i have looked for reader/writers but didnt find any that burn nano sims in the new standard

Operating System v7.1 is required for mobile hotspot, and the 9300 model is not supported for OS7.1

So, in short, no

[mojosodope]

If a power seller found a way to transfer a sims info onto a nano sim hmm... I sorry for digicel users tho, bmobile will eventually get it since they're official carriers but I doubt digicel even looking into it until other phones adapt the nano standard.

[casper]

see why it sucks that apple do what they do???...apple wanting to be different = pressure for 3rd world countries

Digicel carries the Blackberry Curve 9320 (which runs Blackberry OS v7.1). If I purchase this phone, theoretically I should be able to tether my Ipad through Blackberry's mobile hotspot. Correct?

Nano-SIM
iPhone 5 is not compatible with existing micro-SIM cards.

The Android phones will be going nano-sim as well. Free license from Apple.
You can't fight progress.

relax ya batty, the nano sim will be standard in a year or so, just like the micro sim is now
