Who's staying up to preorder the new iPhone?

They didn't have a battery for an iPhone in stock at the Apple store????

Ummm. ??????

That's what they told me and they checked other stores in the area and the same thing. Maybe they ran out or they didn't have one for my particular phone (iPhone 5).

Beats me. I was just responding to the seemingly erroneous assertion that the "5s was made because the iphone 5 had huge flaws."
FWIW my 4 is running fine on ios7. I just ordered a 32gb 5c since they dropped in price after the announcement of the 6. (we ain't exactly on the bleeding edge in our house)

Seemingly erroneous because you refuse to believe your beloved Apple could have issues. Google iphone 5 mic problems. Enjoy.

I've had my iPhone 5 for about 2 years and recently I was having troubles with the battery, it just wouldn't last very long and it would die on me all of sudden when it wasn't plugged in. I called Apple to find out about how much it would cost to replace my battery. The guy told me that my phone had a serial number that was known to have issues with the battery and that it could be replaced for free even though it was out of warranty.

He set up an appointment for me at an Apple store nearby to have it replaced. I went on the day of my appointment and they didn't have the battery in stock. The store called me a couple of days later to say they had the battery in stock. It took about an hour for them to replace it.

It's better to call Apple and set up an appointment at an Apple store and then call the store to make sure they have the battery in stock.

I backed up the contents of my phone on iTunes before I went but the replacement worked without a hitch. When I picked up the phone everything was working fine as if nothing happened. Phone works like normal again.

You get the battery free because Apple had an official battery recall for the iphone 5.

I think I want the 6 plus! I'm going to have to check it out in person though.. i do want to be able to fit it in my pocket.. lol

I gave my daughter my Samsung SIII, ordered her a new battery off of Ebay $2.36, took me all of 5 seconds to change it.

I'm going to wait and try it out in store to get a nice feel for the phone. I currently have a jailbroken IP5. I love the quality of product that Apple puts out. It's metal unlike the "superior" cheaply made android devices that are made of plastic. The OS is very streamlined and simple. Don't have to go through windows to perform a simple task. Absolutely zero lag and doesn't freeze up, again unlike its android counterpart. The freezing got old very quickly when I had an android device. Constantly taking out the battery to reset the phone. With the jailbreak I installed into the phone. I do agree it's OS is a bit restrictive, I like many iPhone users chose to jailbreak my phone. It has completely freed up the phone and allows me to use it to its full capability. Listening to pandora and hit that 5 song skip limit? I go to Cydia and download Pandora Downloader which allows me to not only skip all the songs I want, but also download them into my phone. It's things like this that will keep me on apple. It's products are fantastic and paired with a jailbreak it's an amazing device to have, the larger screen is just going to make it an even better combo for me.

No. Seemingly erroneous because the iphone 5s was released consistent with the timing of previous iphone releases and followed the established naming nomenclature. Had nothing to do with problems with the iphone 5, which by the way I never denied.
I did google iphone 5 mic problems and got 1.5 million hits. I then googled Galaxy s5 mic problems and got 2.1 million hits. Neither means all that much, people post problems no surprise there. Kind of like how airline crashes get reported, but the thousands of planes that land safely everyday do not. Kind of skews peoples perception.

Still waiting to hear why you think Apple will release a 6s in a few months.

It would be nice if you could do that with the iPhone. I must admit I've been looking at other phones lately, mainly Samsung. I've had the iPhone since they first came out with them and I suppose the reason I haven't switched over is that I'm so used to how it works and where all the settings are.

Probably because his beloved android phone will be replaced by a larger version in a few months. That's also why they don't hold value very well. Typical fanboy.

Im the fanboy??? Do you own a mirror? I havent said anything that isnt true. I also didnt say Android didnt have issues. Im happy with my LG G3. My previous phone, the Droid Bionic, sucked. Enjoy your phone.

Its almost sad how defensive Apple loyalists get when something negative is said. Relax, its a phone!

When you see a chance to get to bash a competitor's product, and take it? And fail to mention problems with your beloved product in your argument. Yea.... Fanboy

Uhhh...you dont make any sense. Any chance I get? I made one comment. You are the one coming across as the fanboy, so defensive. It would be funny if it wasnt so sad. Youre not worth my timw anymore as you clearly dont properly read posta here, and take things perso9, which is evident by you resorting to name calling, which by the way, is in violation of the forum rules...

Yeah and that micro sd 32 gb upgrade I put it in my S4 cost me less than $20.00 on sale at best buy. Our new puppy grabbed my daughters iphone 4 off the kitchen counter when it was charging, it hit the floor and shattered the front, that would never happen with the SIII or S4. That's why she's got my SIII now. I just like the android system and the fact that you have the flexibility to change the battery and the memory at will. And oh yeah, I forgot to mention I'm typing on my Macbook Pro right now and I have a Ipad 2, but when it comes to my phone, android and samsung is the way I'll pretty much always go.

What are/were the issues with the 5?

I'm thinking about picking up one,
that are trade-ins on the 6.

You get the battery free because Apple had an official battery recall for the iphone 5.

•I'll just look for a:
-Traded-in-iPhone5 to buy: one that was originally manufactured to be sold after February 1, 2013.
-That's when the iPhone5 battery recall officially ended.

Love this about android, expandable memory is one thing apple needs to adopt. Although they do make it easy to transition to another iPhone with iCloud back ups and what not, more memory on the fly would be nice

Bob, You dont need to focus on the build date, youre covered on the battery recall if you have a prerecall model. So, look for the best deal and enjoy!

Once you make the leap you'll be shocked at the capability you have in your hands. The first time I went on a business trip with my first smart phone and could look up directions to the hotel, find a place to eat, upload all my travel receipts for reimbursement, and follow live updates to the event I was attending, I was hooked.

I'm not a power user by any measure, but having professional tools, maps, internet access, maps, and streaming music to link via Bluetooth has made life a little easier. Of course time wasters like Angry Birds just makes it even better!
