It feels like years since i went to the apple store to get myself a new goody. Cant wait!!
Shut up and take my money, already! I need my goldfinger phone!
Seems like they are leaving the announcement later this time. May even go for immediate availability.
Order at Apple.com, pickup up a black 5S at Apple Store and leave them my 4S which has been a great device.
Vacations are sacred. Fire Tim Cook!
Lets hope it don’t look like the 5 and worth upgrading to,if its not I won’t bother.
The last time I was in an Apple store was last October when they announced the upgraded iPhone. It will be ONE YEAR that I haven’t felt compelled or even curious to venture into a store. I hope the upgraded iPhone is worth the wait but the 5 was not enough of a leap to switch from the 4S. One year of no new products on the back of a marginal upgrade to Apple’s main product has left me unexcited about things to come. They need to do more and do it more often.
Also: the old 20th Century secrecy game of not commenting on anything at all ever has grown stale as every time Cook opens his mouth it sounds like empty promises. “Just wait.” is a sad catch phrase with none of the power of “Think Different.”.
And your point is????
But or don’t buy but don’t bitch about. That smacks of trolling.
And the bitch about not bragging about parts that one is not shipping, well that reals of trolling
Microsoft extolled the Courior that it never intended on shipping. Is that better??
Just saying.
My body is ready, Apple.
