Lol, I find every CSR have a different story and you never know what is actually true or not. I think it's best to keep checking the forums and blogs for updated info.

Of course raw benchmarks are really meaningless considering the Apple processor is probably super-optimized to iOS.



I already posted a link to the benchmark and commented it could be fake (at least it hasn't been confirmed yet).

If this benchmark is true, then the A6 is looking damn impressive. The GS3 is only 11% faster despite being clocked 40% higher. Not to mention it has 4 cores to the A6's 2 cores. It would be interesting to let both run wide open crunching numbers until the battery gives out to see how efficient they are.

If you buy it through Fido the phone will be locked with contract or not, you have to pay a fee to have it unlocked. Apple is the only one selling unlocked iPhones right now.

Apple online store is the only way to get an unlocked one right now.

On the Apple website it says:
"Buy iPhone 5 with a contract at your favourite Apple Retail Store beginning at 8:00 a.m. on September 21. We can help you choose the right rate plan and get you up and running. Or visit the Apple Online Store to buy an unlocked, no-contract iPhone 5.”

That was another thing I needed answered. I asked a few pages back but don't think it was answered. Does it mean they will only sell locked iphones in the store from now on, or just on launch day...? Was hoping not to buy one online and get it shipped but I guess thats the only way...

they did specify but for now it's only locked ones. My guess is that it'll be like that from now on.

You can always buy one from on launch day for a "fair" price

so with the samsung ad the was dissing apple I just want to say that....I would hate to be an android/S3 owner since Samsung is releasing the new S4 in March. This must suck big time for them S3 owners who just purchased their phone sucks to be u your phone is already out dated. I guess Samsung saw how well the Iphone5 was selling so they were like fuck we gotta do something to slow down Apple sales. Yeah I guess debuting another flagship phone not even a year later will sure make your current S3 owners very happy as well!

They tried to charge me that extra 790 dollars but my credit card maxed out. So when I changed to another credit card, do you think they charged me that extra 790 there?

if you change to another credit card they'll charge it. you should just be like me and call in.. it's a waste of time yes. but it'll resolve a lot faster and you won't get charge extra.. otherwise you'll authorize to pay another 790 and i don't know how you'll get that back =\

dude I guess u don't see the point of my post...I know manufactures release phones but to release a phone so close to their so called flagship phone will piss their customers right off. Where as apple releases a phone ONCE every year unlike Samsung and other manufactures release a phone let says every few weeks to a month...

Personally I'm not a fan of apple products generally speaking, I hate their computers and iPods piss me off

However, I have even less of a liking for Samsung products, and the one thing you can always count on with apple products is that they simply -work-

If Sony or another manufacturer had a iPhone competitor running android I might consider changing, until then nah, since the 3G iPhone has done everything and more than I've expected/meeded
