Where's the banking chip?

NFC. No NFC apparently. 


Damn...no Bluetooth 4.0 or micro-USB comparability either

What? The iPhone 4S already had Bluetooth 4.0.

Micro-USB? Apple has always been using their own connector. They had an adapter for the 30pin connector so they will probably have one for the new connector.

What do you guys think about the screen size, btw? I'm glad they didn't go for a 4.5" screen to be honest. We are now at a point where screen sizes are overshooting the market I think. From what I experienced some people are actually going for smaller screens because 4.5" is too big for them (especially females). I hope the screen is not too tall to touch the first row of apps while holding the phone in one hand.


i think 4.5'' is perfect size for me, 4.8'' is also acceptable (i have not really a big hand) but i prefer something like 4.5''. everything below that is too small for me now, my first smartphone was a galaxy s with 4'' and i already felt like it was too small few weeks after the purchase.

I think....32 gb is what I'll get o.O?


Depends on your habbits really. For me 16GB is just enough (that's with lots of photos and some big games). The thing is you are really getting ripped off with the 32GB version. An additional 16GB for $100 more? That's insane  


Actually you have a point lol. I think I'll get 16gb. Not planning to put photos and maybe put a few games ;p


16GB should be good enough unless you put a lot of stuff on there (games like GTA 3 are quite big but others are really small). It gets more ridiculous when you consider the iPad: You can play full 1080p movies on that thing (which Apple even advertises on their website) but if you go for the 16GB version you'll have trouble putting just a single 1080p movie on there. So if you want to watch high quality movies iPads really start at $599 haha

So true regarding the space. Apple is just never going to go allow micro sd cards. Also 4 inches is pretty good for a mobile phone screen. At most around 4.3". Some of the android phones are just too big.

Oh no, a mint green ipod...

they hit my weakspot..

Ah. Nah, I'll mostly use my iphone for calls/text/messaging/checking on websites/email/etc. Little to no gaming as well, the games I plan to get are like less than a gig each or so and not really planning to go hardcore gaming on the iphone, I'll be getting a iPad later on for that, maybe a year or two ;p. 

Also rather watch movies on my PC/PS3 xD

sounds like a phone from 2009 or so would be perfect for you
