The Official iPhone 5 Thread (Liveblog links inside!)

[Oyeve]

is the iphone event streaming live anywhere?

This. I came in to ask the same.

 

[vshah]

as far as i can tell apple isn't officially streaming it.

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

they did that once for the 4. Never again. Not sure why? Maybe the internets crashed. Companies ran out of bandwidth cuz everyone was streaming at work...

I've not watched an Apple product launch live before, do they always do the "This is what we've done aren't we wonderful" stuff?

Pretty much, yeah.

 

[vshah]

Yeah it's annoying, I wish they'd spend less time cheerleading and just get on to showing what people actually care about.

 

[WelshBloke]

Pretty much, yeah.

Is it likely to on for a long time before they get to the actual new product stuff?

Think I'll go get a beer and check back later.

You know the Google OS keynotes are the exact same:

- Number of activations/month
- # of apps
- # of downloads

in fact they show off the same numbers as Apple does. I had a thread where I screenshotted the iOS4 launch and the Froyo launch and they look identical in the beginning lol

 

[vshah]

ew, black bars on non-updated apps.

 

[Oyeve]

I wanna know about the camera.

 

[vshah]

44% more saturation = most accurate display?

I don't normally watch product launches live, this ones just on at a convenient time in the UK.

LTE confirmed

Depends if they were 44% undersaturated before. :biggrin:

 

[jpeyton]

The leaks were right. The iPhone has become the Toyota Camry of the smartphone world: safe, reliable, and a bit boring. Like the Camry, it will be a bestseller.

or 44% more over saturation.

 

[Dominato3r]

A-15 A6SoC

Bet yah.

 

[Super56K]

Oh damn, it's got the A6 chip.
