Apple announcement 12/09/12 - iPhone 5?

Moley said:
Well, Apple's decision to ditch Google Maps in iOS6 is going well...

It's really bizarre. Nowhere near as good as Google Maps, especially having removed street view, and replaced it with a rather bizarre 3D building mode that is a novelty at best.

What's worse with iOS6 is that it's completely removed YouTube functionality. The app has gone, and visiting the site requires you to have Flash, something Apple doesn't give you. This is kinda stupid. I'm aware there is a new YouTube app but its for the iPhone, and an iPad one isn't out yet. From the sounds of things, it's rubbish.
 
I can use YouTube through safari on my iPad so I'm not sure of the need for an urgent app for the iPad, though apple are clearly hell bent on not giving google a free-ride through their platforms which is stupid.
 
Before the app is out surely you can just pin the YouTube site to your home screen?

I was thinking the same, but I think the best way of doing it would be to wait about a year for the next one and buy that because their are no new stand out features on the 5 apart from that it's bigger, thinner and a bit faster. At the moment everything useful that the 5 can do can be done on the 4s. :)
 
It's a shame that it's the users who are getting caught in the crossfire between two large corporations, really.
 
I will hopefully be upgrading to the iPhone 5, I have the iPhone 4 currently. However my phone is kinda buggered - can't make calls as I can't hear people, all I get is some crackly sound and when people phone me I get the same thing lol. So it's perfect timing, contract ends next month :p
 
Look what the postman delivered!

Must be at least £2k's worth of stuff there - very impressive. I'm looking to get a MacBook Pro very soon, don't think I'll be buying from the Apple website though, ridiculously expensive compared to other retailers.

I purchase through Apple as it is easier to do, & less hassle in my opinion. It may seem like a lot of money to spend, but it's genuinely beautiful stuff. My iMac 21" & 27" isn't in the photo, however they are easily the best devices I have ever had the pleasure to handle.

Like, ever.

When you can get the exact same stuff for £200 cheaper elsewhere though I'd rather order from elsewhere. Even the student discounts don't compensate for the premium you pay on apple.com

I do agree though, the Apple OS is the best ever designed, it is almost an insult to even compare it to Windows. Going from using Mountain Lion to using Windows Vista/7 is like moving from the 21st century to Primeval times.

So advanced that users can only be trusted with one mouse button?

Simplicity is the key to success ;)
 
I got an iPhone 5 today (white 16gb). It's a lovely device, So much better than my HTC (which I traded in for £70).
