BBC NEWS said:
Apple has unveiled a taller, 4G-enabled iPhone at an event in San Francisco.

The device's new size allows it to display an extra row of app icons on its home screen.

The firm said it was 18% thinner and 20% lighter than the iPhone 4S. The screen measures 4in (10.2cm) which is still smaller than rival devices from Samsung, Nokia, Motorola and HTC.

It said it would be available on 4G via Everything Everywhere (EE) in the UK.

The news is likely to give the network operator - which runs the local Orange and T-Mobile services - an advantage against its rivals which will not launch the higher-speed data service until 2013.

After the recent events where the name Apple has been involved, I highly doubt the sales will go sky high.

That and one more thing: When 4S was released, battery issues were visible straight away. Hope Apple learnt from the 4S launch fiasco, despite sales going sky high on first few days of 4S launch.

No point in sales going high if there are visible problems.

Problems = unhappy customers
Unhappy customers = losses

Oh and theres not much visual difference from 4/4S.

I rather stick to an older Sony Xperia Arc S or even Motorolla than paying an overpriced price for a phone that never drops price and has customization limited. That and their famous iOS games which are on a PAY to Play model.... Pass.

Still using Samsung products in their devices (retina display)? That is really confusing me. :huh:

Maybe it is only limited to chip orders.

Um.... really apple? Bigger screen and more room for icons? That all you can change?

Yeah....I'll stick with the Samsung Galaxy SIII or the Samsung ATIV S when it comes out.

You forgot one things : Most Apple customers (Iphone/Ipad users) are just "Fashion Sheeps" , they will buy it just to show off it to their friends so they can say " i have the new Iphone, im so cool"

I remember when i bought a fake Iphone 4, some people just become friendlier to me until i tell them it was a fake :lolz:

I guess that Apple didn't went for a radical change......From my point of view the iPhone 5 ,is basically just a face lift for the 4S and I wouldn't buy this over priced phone even if it were the last on Earth!:)
The guys who will buy an iPhone are here: http://thedroidguy.com/2012/09/iphone-5-and-iphone-4s-consumers-dont-know-the-difference-according-to-jimmy-kimmel/ . For the rest of us a Nokia Lumia 920 or HTC One X are a better choice.

That would have to be the next phone that I'm going to get, well it's either that or a HTC One S.
