Just looked at news and seems the release is being reported now as it happens.

However, take a look at the apple web site and all the spec and photos etc is already there lol

Must have put it on before the launch.
 
Just reading about on sky interesting move them releasing a budget option not sure steve would have approved.
Seems a smart move though they were being outdone by the flexibility of android and there was some evidence that cheaper Microsoft handsets were gaining traction in developing markets
 
Ahh didn't see the contract bit hardly budget at all then thought that sounded to good to be true for apple
 
I'm not feeling the love on Samsung. Just bought a galaxy S4, total heap of proverbial, as I walked out the shop I just knew it was a mistake and should have carried on with my old nokia N98 - it held a charge for 3.5 days :rolleyes:

What I am quite interested in trying out is the Samsung Galaxy Note III.
 
It comes in different colours just like f&*ing skittles!!

classic! lol
 
I've gone off Apple and going to get an S4 or HTC next. I'm not one to change my phone that often and what really pee's me off with Apple is that you can't change the battery. It's easier to perform heart surgery than do it yourself. I have an iphone 3 which there is nothing wrong with. I still use as an ipod but holds charge for about 3 hours. I have an ipad2 which is starting to run down quicker and take longer to charge up, and a ipad mini which will no doubt go the same way eventually. Why should I have to upgrade?

Loving the HTC ad with Robert Downey Jr too. keeping humming the rabba rabba tune.
 
I've got a £15 samsung phone, no idea which model. Now I think about it, I couldn't even tell you when I seen it last. I don't think I've touched it in a couple of weeks.

ipad mini for me - small enough to fit in jeans pockets so I can carry it around day to day. I'd rather have better internet access than the ability to make calls. And it really makes sense for anyone building websites to just go with whatever model currently has the biggest marketshare, for website testing purposes. The Apple ones are clear winners there so its an easy choice.

The difference between Androis and iOS is one of fragmentation: because a lot of Android tablets are sold at the budget and ultra-cheap end of the market, they're stuck running old/antique versions of Android because they don't have the capacity to be upgraded.

That means that while Android may have a much larger raw device count (number of devices out there running the OS) developers can count on a much larger number of people having the latest version of iOS.

This is true of iOS7 as well - when it comes out in a couple of weeks, all iPhone models 4 or higher will be upgradeable (i.e. the 4, 4s and 5 - and of course most of the iPads as well)

So until Android really starts grabbing big chunks of marketshare at the top end i.e. on high-power, future-resistant devices, this will always be an issue.
