Dont be at yourself

Is it an up or an up24? I was aware or huge reliability issues with the up but everything I've read about the up24 has been great.

It's a second generation Up (not 24), but from reading forums and comments, it seems that the Up24 is similarly unreliable.

Why keep buying them then? I'm serious. I genuinely don't get it as it's like rewarding companies for producing shít quality products. If the customer base stopped buying they'd be forced to either up their quality and address the production issues or bow out.

One previous poster mentioned he's on his 4th device since Christmas! That's insane!

An up24 has been on my radar too. I'll wait until after the event and buy one if there's no I watch announced.

Can't wait to be in Cupertino on the 9th .

I ended up giving in, and got a BNIB on Adverts for half RRP.

I'm not buying them; they're sending me replacement bands!

I think if I never look at the back of the phone I'll be happy. Looks very very nice otherwise

Was just about to post this, from the video it looks a lot better than I expected fully assembled. However the video was very dark and I'd imagine the back doesn't look as good under bright lights. The antannae breaks look better in darker lighting.

Being honest this is one of my least favourite designs of the iPhone since the original. That being said the design doesn't bother me too much, the overall build quality and the front of the device will still look great. I always slap a case on mine anyway so it'll do fine for me.

Hmm. I thought it looked great.

I've always loved the iPod touch design.

Stripes on the back look terrible but the front looks amazing. Kinda want one quite a lot now...

You'll all change your minds when you hold it. One thing video can't show you.

Got the 5s last April and the battery is a serous issue for me now, wouldn't be on it all the time but am charging at least twice a day, closing apps, screen almost completely dark and still can't keep the battery. It's a lot of work carrying a charger around. Battery improvement should be number 1.

Anyone else have the same problem or should I maybe take it to the shop and see what they say.

I read somewhere that there is a battery recall for some iPgone 5 models. Sounds like you could be one of those.

Not an iPhone 5s

So folks, do you think that video shows the actual IP6 ? The finished article ?

I'd say it's 95%+ accurate (stat pulled from my ass). Have yet to see Apple able to pull off a surprise iPhone shape in all the years of watching the leaks v releases.

This is the shape I hoped the iPhone 5 would be. Been waiting two years for it now. I just hope the slave/drone factories have been working at capacity so that I can bloody get one.

Looking at this latest video. I like what I'm looking at. Having colour coded the band makes a big difference.

The bands were always colour matched to the device. There's another video from a few days ago and again the design looks a bit different under light. The breaks are coloured to the device but don't look as good because they're brighter in the different lighting.

As you say. I'm still buying it

Probably the same here, but it's iOS that keeps me using it. Just have to see what features this will have before I decide whether to upgrade. The bigger screen would be nice as long as the phone isn't too big.

its all about the battery for me if the rumours of a 2915 mAh for the 5.5" then thats the one for me

I'm waiting for the details on the 5.5" and the Note 4 (announced tomorrow) before making a decision.

A lot of the extra battery will be needed for the larger screen although the new A8 chip is supposed to be more power efficient so you'll definitely see some sort of difference. A two day battery would be nice though.

I'm annoyed that it looks like the 5.5" is gonna be the flagship phone, while the 4.7" lags behind in the screen resultion, camera and sapphire -allegedly.

I hope they do it like the iPad Air and mini where they're both exactly the same (more or less), just in two different sizes.

agreed. 4.7" would be perfect IMO if fully loaded. 5.5" is a monster.

For a company that kept going on about having a phone that is useable in one hand I find it hard to see them making a phone as big as 5.5inch their flagship phone and leave the 4.7inch lacking. It just seems like awful business to me.

Zcott

The 4.7” will hardly be lacking. The rumours suggest that both phones will have an upgraded camera but the 5.5" might have optical image stabilisation. And the 5.5" might have Sapphire, but only maybe. There's still a chance both models will have it.

Either way, the 4.7" will be a good upgrade from the 5S.

Vanessa2003

Supposed to be more expensive as well comparing to IPhone 5s ?
Paying 800 € for 16 Gb , 12 Mp 4.7 phone is redicilus

That was just marketing ****e and nothing to do with usability.

I'm really interested in the larger phone, but I'm bracing myself for a price that's astronomical.

Sonics2k

Apple as a company annoys me, but I do love the feel of iPhones and the 6 is looking great so far, but not to be that guy, does no one else notice it looks an awful lot like the HTC One, specially the M8 Mini?

That or a stretched out iPhone 3G. Either way it looks a damn site better than the 5 series.

Jofspring

It looks like a crossover of an HTC and Smasung Galaxy from first look at that video.

If the prices are scandalous it may be what tips more over the edge toward one of the androids, something I most definitely would prefer not to have to do. I want a minimum 64gb iPhone. If you are talking more than the €899 it cost the last time they are taking the piss.

I know the one hand thing was mainly marketing but a lot of iPhone users themselves have also stated the singlehanded usability as a major plus. Making the smaller of the two phones the poorer phone would be silly and you may as well wait and see if a cheaper 6c comes out next year if the 4.7 is anyway lacking.

If anything it resembles the Samsung Ativ S.

DubDJ

I think it resembles the latest iPod Touch, I don't see the HTC influence. I'd more see a Samsung S5 influence but again I'm pretty sure it's based on iPod Touch.
