Brah, you're one of the types of consumers Apple is targeting with the 5.5 joint lol. The "gotta have the best" crowd. You're gonna be *****ing and moaning walking out of the store with it. Annnnnnnd Apple wins again.
well im not shelling out $700 for a product that isnt even the best being released. thats my point
$700 is a lot of money, you would think that that price point it would be top of the line, am i right?

thats if your phone is the VERY small quantity of phones that are affected
- 63,609

It's not a small quantity
It's the iphone 5's sold from sept 2013 - January 2013
I got mine in dec 2012
i plan to get my battery replaced

check the link posted or theres anothr one somewhere
apple said themselves VERY small amount of affected phones. and they have a serial checker to tell you if your phone is eligible or not.

Yeah I checked my serial number yesterday I'm eligible
But I'm a wait a couple more months to replace it
Soon as the 6 drops my 5 will be an iPod just like my other iPhones

Yup, just walk in and make an appointment. I got mine within 20 minutes but it depends on how busy they are. Could be sooner. They will test your phone to see if all the functions work (flash, vibrate, camera, etc) You will probably have to pay to get your volume buttons fixed since it's not part of the repair program.

And that is exactly my point. Apple wins, because now you're going to shell out more than $700 to have the best, right?well im not shelling out $700 for a product that isnt even the best being released. thats my pointBrah, you're one of the types of consumers Apple is targeting with the 5.5 joint lol.

What's "best" though? Screen size? Is bigger always better?
A super retina screen? Because how much more retina can it really get at this point? It's all marketing now.
A bigger battery (to accommodate a bigger screen, thus somewhat evening out battery life between the 2 different models)?
A slightly faster processor (to accommodate that bigger screen) that the average user won't even notice?
A few more megapixels for the camera to use?
A sapphire display to replace the already pretty damn strong screen?
The point is that all these things are incremental upgrades and some are there simply to accommodate the larger screen. Apple isn't going to eat their own by making the 5.5 joint some uber-beast of a phone and crippling the 4.7. If all those minor things = best to you, it's all good man. I just don't see it though. Besides the handset size, the rest of that **** is just marketing hype to get folks to pay more for a phone b/c my guess is that they'll essentially be the same phones and provide almost identical end-user experiences.

Wow thats sad, you need to charge like 5 times or more a day lol. Heres mine and im still rocking te 4

As far as pricing goes they have to be competitive so I think the most expensive phone they'll offer (with a 2 yr upgrade) will be $499 which will presumably be the 5.5 in. I don't think the 5.5 will come with different gigs either, it'll just come in 64 gig only. The 4.7 will be the model with different gig options starting at 16 then 32 then 64 at $199, $299 and $399.
I also don't think they'll be an S model this time around

alright guys quick question:
My dad upgraded to the 5s at the end of May/early June.
he just told me he put it in the washer cuz he left it in his pocket.
My question is, can we go back to ATT and get a new one since it hasn't been 90 days yet or can Apple replace it at all?
Any info is appreciated.

The battery life on my old 4 was better, but it didn't have LTE either. For me LTE is the culprit, the building I work in has weak LTE signal strength so my phone is constantly looking for it. Since I've been turning LTE off when I'm not on the internet, I make it through the workday with 25% percent remaining where normally I'd be charging at my desk. Apple needs a setting option for this, because unless I'm browsing or streaming I don't need LTE on.
