You can get your hands on the Gold Master (final build) tonight.

You just need to look for it

If anyone comes across the GM will you stick the link here or if not allowed send it via PM. Will stick it on the iPad to see what it is like before the official version launches. The first time I want to play around with IOS6 on a phone is on my iPhone 5.

Will we have 1,000 posts on the thread before the conference even kicks off?

Technically it is piracy so people can PM me if they want links.

It will be the exact same as the official version though, so you won't have to worry about it.

What are you expecting? What's so special about the galaxy s3? We've already seen that specs mean fcuk all when compared on benchmark tests

I think people just need to cool down a small bit here. I've posted before about how the S3 is a good phone spec wise and I gave reasons, so I'm not going to do it again. Specs mean a lot, if they didn't, why would you even bother upgrading from the first iPhone?

The iPhone 5 probably won't be quad-core. By that fact alone it'll be much weaker in specs and benchmarks. That's how it is with the iPad 3 and the transformer prime CPU wise.

I don't think it's fair that we can't even discuss other phones coming from the point of current iPhone users, which I am. It doesn't do any good to be blind to Apple and throw down on the rest and not be aware of what's actually on the market from other manufactures.

If specs are so important how does the 4s beat the gsii so much in benchmarks with only half the ram and a CPU nearly %17 slower

The Irish Apple store is down. Good sign for inclusion in initial launch ?

I think there is a lot of updates coming so its not just the iPhone.

The more i think about it I think I'll be sticking to the iPhone 4s. I think the 2 year cycle is good enough for me.

As for the android debate I've a Google Nexus (work) and iPhone 4s (personal) and the iPhone gets used 99.99999999999% of the time. Its just easier to use. The Nexus is diverted to the iPhone. God bless unlimited plans

thats my thinking.

Bought my iPhone 4 from Apple in Belfast on launch day.
Sold it this week.
Got upgrade of S3 and sold it.
Cash earned pays for iPhone 5

Will do the same in 2 years time.

Going to sell my 4 to part finance the 5, but can't be without it for a month while waiting on the 5!

I have 4S too, but I didn't pay for it so would be tempted to fund an iPhone 5.

However having looked at what's coming might stick with 4S, go for the 4inch screen iPod predicted with gps, camera etc and an iPad mini rather than the 5.
If it wasn't for the stupid rattles of the 4S probably wouldn't even be considering a change.

Although what you would do with all the gadgets I'm not sure!

If only you knew the half of it mate

Bought 2 S3's from Meteor for €280 all in, sold them for €430 (Blue) & €450 (white), also got an IP4 from eMobile for €149 12 months ago (the GF's) and sold that last week for €310, and getting €350 for my IP4 (32gb) so with all of that, we may be an IP5 x 2 household

This months mortgage, now thats another story

I have a feeling it wont be that long.
I have a Nokia 6300 as a back up phone, and just exported all my contacts last night as VCF's and put them on it through Nokia PC Suite, that was my main concern, not having contact numbers.

I will keep a close eye on release dates, and if the UK get it considerably earlier, i'll order through the Belfast Store again.

Anyone know any decent Twitter accounts for live updates via Twitter Timeline?

If there was a few that do it I'd prefer to just swipe and refresh on the iPad and see everything in one place on my Timeline than switching between windows following a few blogs on the laptop. Ta...

As of today I have a year left on my iPhone contract. It will finish just in time for the iPhone 5s/6. I'll be starting a new thread on that around 8:00 this evening

Probably not as they'll release it on the new iPhone 5 first and in a week or 2 the rest of us will get it .

lee_baby_simms

iOS 6 is free.
