That's not actual size... it's just projected on a large screen :P Lol

Oh and for the people that say all these phones are just too big etc - don't forget the HTC One S which has a 4.3" screen and is incredibly thin and light - really nice phone.

The HTC One and S3 are far too big to be phones, they are almost tabs ffs.

Don't really understand what people were expecting?

This is still probably the greatest phone ever made. What do people want their phone to do?

Walk the dog, take a sh*t for them. Make dinner?

What ground breaking features were people expecting. Its 2 times faster than the 4s, better battery life. Bigger screen.

I cannot wait to get one.

All phones have peaked.

Minor upgrades here and there mean sfa and aren't worth the money imo.

They should have kept the thing thicker and boosted battery size - that would have been a killer feature

I agree, flagship Android, WP7/8 and iPhone are all thin enough, better battery would be thinness better spent for all parties.

I also don't get this LTE crap, the US has worse data plans than we do, who wants 100mb data, all it means is you can use you 1Gb allowance in less than 2 minutes? I only want spped like that when downloading or streaming big files.

Definitely the worst iPhone launch yet.

The two bulky blocks of wasted space is not ugly to you? Well it's something I find unattractive and wasteful on my iPhone 4 when I could have a bigger screen in its place while keeping the size of the phone the same.

I have no problems with the bezels at all.

I like the screen size, width as it is and this enlargement is fine. Any bigger and you'll be carrying a TV around with you.

Well tell me this, if the S3 doesn't do anything "revolutionary", what does the new iPhone do?

And if it doesn't do anything "revolutionary" either, why would you ever throw down on it when it's a superior product? It's a bit hypocritical.

Not hypocritical.
I'm not expecting anything revoltionary at this stage. That was iPhone 1,

Rest is evolution.

Software is the important thing and I prefer iOS to Android.

I am sold. Seen enough to upgrade from the Iphone 4 I've had for two years.

Did anyone see memory options? Still 16/32/64??

The One X & S3 - yes I agree with you

The One S is a nice size

This would have to be the most useless screen size increase ever. What practical use can you get out of it?

I text/web surf and sent emails. I rarely call people by comparison. I wanted a scaled 4" screen! 3.5" is too small nowadays and that's practically what you have with this.

I'm pretty sure I want this phone.

Feck it, I'm buying one...now, black or white?

pilot1087

any mention of nano-sims yet?

Blazer

Disappointed to be honest...
I wanted quad-core and NFC at least to future proof it for the next 2-3 years.
Currently have the IP4 and while the 5 would be a speedier upgrade for me I'm starting to lean towards the HTC One X which is a really nice phone and has impressed me more than the S3 which I find flimsy compared to the iphone and HTC.
Android sucks though...I was hoping the Nokia 920 would be quad-core but it's only dual-core.
Means nothing at the moment but in another year it would make a big difference.

How do they get away with the lightning connector in Europe?

13 pin - before law was brought in, but they never adapted. How come they can ignore micro usb standard?

Just curious..

DubDJ

Same prices as the 4S for people who said they'd be going up.
