So... basically what apple did was update the iPhone so it doesn't look outdated comparing to current Android phones?

Apple went from a leader to a follower.

New connector was long time coming. Its going to provide so much ancilliary income to all the accesory makers its going to be insane.

i dont get why apple doesn't consider making this phone a little wider
i mean 2012 onwards HD screen has pretty much become the new standard

it's like they are so caught up in the 326ppi figure...i mean if you increase the screen size you can lower pixel density by a bit and still market it as Retina Display

Calling the new connector "Lightning" is probably the most brilliant marketing decision I've seen a company make. We'll have to wait and see what the reaction is... but wow... now I am convinced that Steve Jobs really was just the pitch man, and that Apple is actually collectively a brilliant marketing company

Personally I dont want a wider phone... I didnt really want a taller one either. I have to have this phone in my dress pants, I dont need it to look like I have an iPad in my pocket...

its not bad. 720p front camera, lighter thinner, 100mb lte, now if they would only tell us how fast the cpu is.

It's not gonna look like an ipad in your pocket because everyone's use to seeing big phones now. My wallet is bigger than my s3

Personally I think they have great upgrades and the screen size is perfect considering anything else bigger is annoying to carry I think the note is just way too big in the size and S3 is bigger I'd go and inbetween seems good.

Actually all it took to do that was change the screen technology. The touch screen is built into the display now, instead of requiring a separate layer.

So new screen notwithstanding, do you still think it's that amazing?

Oh and guess who designed the screen
