Apparently it is/has:
-bigger
-faster
-4G wireless
-other stuff

This guy could not care any less than he does right now. I guess now instead of loading a webpage in 5 seconds, it takes about 2? ......yaaaaaay.... Because those extra 3 seconds are just KILLER! And that bigger screen is cool I guess if you like having less pocket space and like having an easier-to-scratch screen.

What does everyone else think?

No point in getting it considering the Iphone 6 will come out a year after.

Nah, it'll be the iPhone 5s with a newer version of siri that still doesn't work as well as they say it does. It'll come with a literal Airplane Mode where it sprouts wings and engines and shoots you into the atmosphere.

That's it? bigger and "faster"? Totally worth my money. This is in every way what steve would've done. ¬_¬

Yeah you're right they'll just rehash it over and over again.

I'm pretty sure a lot of people have stopped giving a s***. Of course, there's that group who will buy it just because it has the apple logo on it and its "the new thing". And I'm pretty sure this was already in development when Steve Jobs died, so in my eyes it's just another company selling a mediocre product because they know people will buy it for the brand.

Actually, I DO have an iPhone. And yeah, they've gotten better. What I'm saying is that the iPhone 5 has so far completely disappointed me. I don't want faster/larger, I want new software mostly. The current model size and speed is fine enough. The iPhone 5, from what I've read, is $199 ($299 if you want the 32GB, $399 for 64GB) for very little improvement.

Oh and they changed the size of the port on the bottom, so you'll need to spend an extra $30 on an adapter for your old Apple things that used an iPhone like boomboxes, etc. I guess that's not that big a deal, but I don't see why I should have to do it in the first place when they probably could have kept the port the same size.

Honestly, I wonder how many of the sales are from people going "WOO! MY OLD PHONE WORKS PERFECTLY, BUT THIS NEW ONE IS SHINEH!", and how many are from people going, "Hmm.. Well, I don't have a phone, this looks nice."

I didn't even know until yesterday, that's how "revolutionary" it is, and that is to say, not very.
