Doubt the iPad mini will be unveiled tomorrow, I don't think Apple will want to take any focus away from the iPhone. I think it will be launched at the iTunes event.

When does it start?

Not hugely exciting on its own, but coupled with iOS6 should be good.
The dock adapters were a little dearer than I expected.
Contain your excitement Courty!
Rob will be happy, but she's using a 3gs so it's a big jump for her.
It looks like there will be a few old iPhones up for sale soon.
The apple experience is about giving you something you are familiar with isn't it. That's what rob likes about it. She hates it when I keep tweaking stuff with my phone, tablet or media center. She just wants things to work
You're not kidding, and a bit bigger than I expected. I'm wondering how this is gonna work with stuff like robs radio that has a dock, cause to me I wouldn't think that connector plugged into a phone would be very stable or supportive? I'm assuming we'll have to wait for 3rd party adapters that plug into the dock and support the phone at the same time.
Does the new touch use the new connector too? Keeping rewards points to get Jas one for her birthday next year.
Been waiting for another samsung fanboy to say that!
As a sammy fanboy myself, I've actually always been impressed with the iphone. It just doesn't do things the way I want, but rob and the kids love them. What I hate at the moment is all the law suites going backwards and forwards. I mean years ago I was using a windows phone with a launcher that resembled the way an iphone ended up working. Even my old palmtx had icons on the screen. We'll now have to see if sammy goes after apple for lte, which it's been reported they want to.
Watching the guy for sunrise who was at the launch, he said one reporter/it guy pulled out an android phone to compare it to the new iphone and was 'ushered' from the event.
your wife is going to buy an iPhone 5 goughy?

Has speed ever been an issue for iPhone users ?
I dont think speed or screen size needed fixing... on my 4S.
I dont see how in the current economic environment, how they are going to move 8-10 million units in the first month... which is what is priced into the stock.
IOS6 is what I want to see running....
many people appear to ignore their financial circumstances when buying expensive phones virge.

True dat - i am sure all the fashionable young things will have to have one, just cant see them moving 8-10 million units especially with people waiting for the new adapters and 3rd party bits.
The connector between the new and old adapters is $29 !!! so all your old docking stations and holders will need one.
i'm on an old 3G with a cracked screen, provided by work.
We're all getting the 5 in a few weeks.
I'm a bit annoyed about the adaptor, but no biggy.
because I'm on an old 3G with shitty battery life, it means all the strategically placed chargers around my house will be useless!

Wow - you are up for a change - the 4S has a much better battery and I am guessing the 5 will be even better.
But, I am going to put my money where my mouth is... I will be shorting Apple Stock. For those who know the stuff... going to sell a vertical spread.
Sell the OCT 620 CALL and buy the OCT 640 CALL... risk about $1000 to make $3000 on a close below $620. Breakeven about $635 or thereabouts.

I am sure I will help your cause Virge...guessing I'll need to get an iPhone5 if one is not already waiting for me. Will be interesting to compare the iPad/iPhone5 combo vs. the Galaxy Tab/Galaxy S3 combo.
Wonder if I'll end up being an iFanBoi
Who cares if the adapters are $29. They will be $5 on eBay.
It's not as if apple changes something like adapters very often.
Yeah, it's funny, the same people that are whinging about Apple changing the charging / docking port are the same ones whinging about battery life, and not good enough specs. If they didn't change the port you wouldn't have a better battery in the 5, or the A6 processor to run the 4 inch screen they've all been screaming for.
Numpties.
Muppet,
It is not the changing of the port that is the issue. It is the charging $30 for a 15 cent adapter that is pissing people off.
Yes - there will be versions on eBay in about a week - but that is not the point, where is the reward for loyalty for using a product ?
You could have had a box of them and said for $5 extra i will send you the adapter ... not $30 FFS.
They only have 120 billion in the bank . . . They are all dead set arseholes.
