ShadowHearth

Not sure if I like that album expansion in the new iTunes

opinion guy

Seems like they managed to find ways to make iTunes worse ?

Does anybody actually use iTunes?

WolfForager

Interested to see what they do with the Ipod touch. Seems to be losing alot of ground lately to smartphones.

Wow, Americans get ripped off. The 64gb 4S and I assume 5 was €99 on a two year contract with Meteor.

Initial comparison of the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S here

Not quite as many differences as I'd like to warrant a purchase if I'm honest.

Maybe for the SIII, but have you actually held a One X? It's a premium polycarbon shell, definitely feels solid in my hand.

No haven't held a One X.
Bit like a Lumia 800 then?
That does feel solid for a plastic phone.

Simply Red

Still in work here so trying to keep up with things, when they say Sep 28th, is that for taking pre-orders or is that when they start shipping?

Last iphone I had was a 3gs. They seem to be 6 months behind the best android phone with those specs.

Bit silly to compare Football to Technology....

Very silly... I like Bush TV's.. Not Nordmende....

It's the trolling of the threads I'm comparing, not Technology or Football.

eg Posting a comment belittling Apple in an Apple Iphone forum :

"Apple are playing catch up to SIII"... wait for response from loyal apple user.

Posting a comment belittling Man Utd's achievements in Europe in the Man Utd thread:

"Liverpool have won 5 European cups"... wait for response from Man Utd supporter.

Hope that clears up you're confusion Sir.

I mean why come in here. I see one person saying Apple iphone 5 - I'm sold. And someone responding by laughing at them.

I had a Zune MP3 player (yep, I was the guy that bought one) and the Zune software of four years ago was infinitely better than iTunes is today. I've considered buying a Windows Phone in the past just for that reason before coming to my senses because, you know, it's a fcuking Windows Phone.

My 3gs is slowing down and the screen is cracked so I think I will upgrade.

One X feels kind of ceramic, very solid. S3 is not just "plastic" either, it's some sort of solid poly shell. It's lighter than metal, but feels very sturdy. Actually One S has the sturdiest case of them all IMO. One X and S3 feel smaller than you would think from their screen size though, especially S3 as it's thin and curved at the back, so it's surprisingly easy to hold, and I'm a woman with small hands. iPhone 5 should actually be an improvement if it's thinner, 4S felt very angular.

dloob

So ipod then.
Could be a good way to keep all the great iOS apps etc. and try a different phone.

Which was? The last one I had was the 4 which I think I paid 599 for off the apple site.

Allyall

Apple do that.. (Change everything)

I guarantee it'll be as loved as the current versions..

Except by anyone on a 2011 Laptop or Older, and some 2012's - as iTunes will do what it does best... Suck the life out of them.

One thing you can't deny about Apple.. When they launch something, it has the World talking, good or bad, It shows how important they are..

Ugh they borked the nano. Yuck

Little square one was much prettier

I always find it odd when companies call additional colours for products "fun"

New Nano looks amazing.

dloob

Well no more nano watches then.
