I don't see why the youtube app is such a concern? Personally I prefer the browser version, because I can actually watch things in HD.

browser version's quality, even in HD doesn't look as nice as the app quality

Pro tip:

Try "Jasmine" as a youtube client. From the makers of Alien Blue. I think it's a sick, sick app, and it's my go-to youtube app.

My coworker today showed me Map+

it's a 3rd party app that uses Google Maps data, so you can upgrade to iOS6 and basically still keep google maps.

Just saw this on my fb: The iPhone 5 Really Costs You $1800

Do data plans in the states really cost that much? I always thought they were way cheaper than us!

Cheapest is $60/mo but only 300MB data and pay as you go text message? That's ridiculous!

I pay $30 a month for true unlimited (and I mean true - I use about 200-300GB a month). But that's only because I bought my phone separately. If I were to get a 64GB iPhone 5, I would be paying $50-60 a month for a capped plan

So yeah, you guys are paying a LOT more than retail for these "$200" phones. A LOT.

HK. the prices are good if you own your phone, but subsidized or "free" plans are just as expensive as US and Canada. In fact they usually make you buy the phone outright, and you only get your discount paid back in monthly discounts to your bill.

Actually it's because my 3G connection is faster than my land line (true 10 mbps compared to anywhere between 4-7 mbps). So when I need to get something quicker, it's from my phone

So your tethering your phone then obviously?

The most I ever used on my 6gb plan was 4.5 and that was streaming a tonne of music and stuff through apps

I've managed to use over 7 gb in a month from streaming tv shows.
But now that mega uploader is gone, not much left to watch except for youtube.

does anyone know if there's any apple stores that have 32gb black iphone 5 in stock? i got a 16gb white only to realize i prefer the black one. and from previous iphone 4/4s experiences, 16gb is not enough for me.
so in other words, i just want to do an exchange.

Personally I think they shouldn't include the month fees for it since many people would be having and using some sort of monthly plans that are similar or the same if they use other smartphones

Unless the people who are using iPhone 5 now with contract did not plan to sign up contract or use other phones if they did not get the iPhone 5.

You pay for data/cell coverage, regardless of phone. That data/cell actually subsidizes the phone, so instead of costing $2300, it only costs $1800 because you save $500 through the subsidies.

Through the article's logic, a $15000 car financed over 5 years (a contract) actually costs $30000 because there is an additional $15000 in insurance and gas. Which clearly doesn't make sense.
