My order status is still processing.. damn and i heard other people already got their status as preparing for shipment. If mine doesnt get delivered on the 21st, ill have to wait the extra 2 days until monday :okay:

Here's some info about the new CPU/GPU..

"Apple’s new A6 chip runs two ARM Cortex A15 cores, quad-core GPU"

"the previous-generation A5 chip that powers the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 is manufactured on Samsung’s 45-nanometer process, as is the A5X chip found inside the iPad 3. Both chips use ARM’s Cortex-A9 CPU core (the A4 chip from the original iPad and the iPhone 5 is based on ARM’s Cortex-A8 CPU blueprints).

ARM says that the Cortex A15 core is 40 percent faster than its Cortex-A9 counterpart.

Switching to Samsung’s 32-nanometer process and other optimizations have made possible low-power performance and a 22 percent smaller package. A good example of optimizations would be the FastCore technology that Cupertino got hold of by acquiring chip experts Intrinsity."

"Regarding the GPU, Ananad speculates that the 2x gains “could be had through a move to 4 PowerVR SGX543 cores, up from 2 in the iPhone 4S”."

*Edit*: Nevermind.. seems like some people are sanding down the SIM card with sandpaper to make it thinner... and it works :ahwow:

Bad news for ChatR/Speak Out users

Nano SIM card is 15% thinner than Micro SIM.. therefore cutting down the size doesn't work.

yeah mine still says its processing fuuuurrrk!

Tried to login to Fido ...

:fuuuuu:

lol all my orders were cancelled except 8 black 16gigs LOL SHIT.

oh well. i tried.

"Except 8 black 16GB".... how many in total did you order then? :ahwow:

i ordered 29,000 dollars worth of iphones. LOL.

but only 6000 bux went through.

sneaky bastards. they rejected 2 of my orders formally by emailing me. then the rest just... magically "vanished" lol.

still says I'm processing...hopefully at least by monday it says its being shipped...

Is the iPhone 5 on display at apple stores yet?

got no clue should be I would think since the debut was on weds...but who knows they could have it on display next friday when its released to the public..

it's alright i'm still at "Processing items" too.. :badpokerface:

^^haha yeah I wonder if any RS members have theres being ready to be shipped yet? :suspicious:

fucking fido bitch lied to me. good thing i reserved early for a white 32g #131:awwyeah:

is this rogers site???

^^no for me its on the apple.ca website

2 weeks, which means probably 3-4. Can't wait.

Yeah, tried logging in a couple times and finally gave up. Went on last night and reserved 2 phones right away. I'm so far down the list I'll probably get mine on Halloween. ;)


If it is an A15 then Apple would have beat everyone to market. Samsung, Nvidia and TI are only sampling A15's and won't be shipping until late 2012 or early 2013. And no, the Qualcomm Krait isn't an A15 for the people who think the Snapdragon S4 is actually the first A15 to market.

We'll have to wait until someone gets their hands on a phone to get benchmarks and see what cores are actually inside. The A15 seems plausible but I'm wondering about the graphics cores. I'm not so sure it's the same quad core as in the iPad 3 considering Apple's claims of a smaller die and reduced battery consumption. The PowerVR 6 Series isn't supposed to be available yet, but then again, if Apple beat everyone with an A15 then it's not much of a stretch for them to also be first with a 6 Series.



For people interested in manufacturing techniques, watch this video. Skip to 4:40 to get past all the "fluff".

Johhny Ive on iPhone 5

I find the matching part the most interesting (warning, technical geek content ahead).

Ley's say you have part 'A' coming down an assembly line. It's supposed to be 50mm long, but due to manufacturing tolerances they can be anywhere from 49-51mm. We also have part 'B' coming down another assembly line. It's supposed to be 25mm long, but they can also vary from 24-26mm. These two parts fit into a housing 'C'. Housing 'C' is made to a very high tolerance and is exactly 75.00mm long.

The problem occurs when we try to take parts 'A' and 'B' and fit them into the housing 'C'. If part 'A' was 49mm and part 'B' was 24mm then their total length is 73mm. If we put these parts into our 75mm housing there's going to be a noticeable gap. If part 'A' was 51mm and part 'B' was 26mm, then their length is now 77mm, and they won't fit our 75mm housing.

The solution is to match the parts. Part 'A' is measured as it comes down the assembly line and turns out to be 49.87mm long. In order to get an overall length of 75mm to fit our housing, we need to find a part 'B' that's 25.13mm long (49.87 + 25.13 = 75.00). So we measure all the 'A' and 'B' parts and start to find matching pairs that add up to 75mm. In this way you can take a bunch of parts that aren't very exact in size and get them to fit perfectly.

This is what's happening in the video when they talk about the camera taking pictures of the housing and finding the best inlay (out of 725 choices) to use.

This technique has been done for ages in various forms of manufacturing. What's interesting is that modern manufacturing techniques are very precise. You don't have parts that vary significantly in size from one to the next making parts matching unnecessary in most products. The fact they are doing it (and Ive's mentioning of microns when measuring parts) shows the precision going into making the iPhone 5. It will interesting to handle one in person and see if this comes across in how it feels.

Yayyy moved from 3767 yesterday morning to 2850

^^^yeah I wanna know how many cores the new iphon5 is running with the new A6 chip...plus in the keynote they didnt say anything about how much RAM it was running..I would assume at least 1gb but who knows...

Did they precision match parts with the 30 pin adapter too or is it 30 bucks cause Apple really needs the money that bad...seriously something that should have came packaged with the iPhone 5 is being charged at a ridiculous price just to bend the people over that much more with their 700 dollar phone. Guess they want to milk it as much as they can till the knockoffs from china show up for 50 cents a piece

^^yeah I thought that was pretty greasy for apple to not include the adapter...but I guess u have to look at from a buisness perspective in that Apple is a biz and are tying to make money...from a consumer perspective if people dont by Apple products then Apple is out of buisness. I guess the key here is try to keep your customers happy i guess haha

Yeah I get that but even at 10 bucks a pop they'd make a killing, this is just downright gouging when they know everyone is going to need them for their docks and cars and whatnot.

I thought each iPhone includes an adapter. :suspicious:
