iPhone 5 vs iPhone 4S - First Look
If this is what 0.3-0.6% of US GDP (according to JPMorgan) looks like, then the US is truly in desperate need of not only QE3, but 4, 4S and 5. Also, since it is not on the front, we can only assume the "Samsung Inside!" sticker is on the back.

that 5th row of icons increases our national productivity by 25% alone!
When in the big meeting making a big deal go down, I need to know that angry birds is available at a moments notice.
Our Modern World:
Bread, circuses and electronic crap
Electronic bread and circuses.
Bullish on longer pockets.
Looks like nominal growth to me.
AAPL is struggling to close green today. That's not too good on a big announcement day.
This is what was important at the top of Google Finance this morning..

0.3-0.6% of which countries' GDP will this boost??? Coz with the Chinese writing on it, it looks China already ramping productions of the knock-off.
Somebody needs to tell Apple that bigger is not better in consumer electronics...
owner of the phone on the left hasnt checked his/her email since 1998
This is a highly symbolic tangible product that represents the rapidly declining nature of the state AND trend of your economy and society (interwoven), Amerika.
Kim Kardashian, Snooky & the new iPhone are the dominant topics of the day. Brain rot has reached an all-time high.
This is not an Apple-specific criticism, as it can be made of any popular product that is the "latest & greatest" must have accessory for Amerikans (which Apple just so happens to produce currently), even if it's of little to no additional utility, productivity or meaningfulness compared to its predecessor (or competitors, or in general):
A cell phone, used to talk, text, surf and download "apps," mostly of the hollow and devoid-of-real-value kind, designed by a relatively small cadre of U.S. employees in California, built by a large cadre of Chinese employees at Foxconn (for low wages even by emerging market standards), and with future versions to be built by automated equipment, is now the literal core center of any real standard bearer representating the ability of the U.S. economy as a whole to produce (even though production takes place in China) a tangible, halo product, that's of marginal real benefit to society, whether measured against competing smart phones, or in isolation.
Is it any wonder why the crises beseiging the American economy, social order, political system & culture are highly unlikely to be addressed before it's too late (if it's already not too late)?
The high number of emails symbolizes your lost right to privacy.
It's all the spam emails you get because every advertiser knows all your desires!
It depends on the technology.
Smaller is not necessarily always better either.
A hand-held phone can be too small and hard to use.
Plus, the screen is enlarged for a better viewing aspect ratio.
It's a superb design.
$1000 for another half inch? Not even sure the women will ante up for that...
Bearish on short arms.
Bearish on alligator arms.
There I fixed it for ya!
Bullish on bear arms
This is an Apple product. I think you mean deeper pockets.
Theres an app for that
Breadboard and circuits.
.
iPhone 555
It's a TOY company. Same as Hasbro.
Which gets top billing in the future:
World War 3 starts
Apple introduces new phone
Birth, Growth, Maturation, Decline, Death!
or in the case of GOOnbubble, as you decline jump into the arms of the CIA and become a State Zombie Corpse
...GM showed the flightpath 3 times now
YOU FOOLS!!!! THE FUTURE DEPENDSON THIS PRODUCT!
HOW DARE YOU RAG ON THE HOPES OF OUR CHRILDREN!?

After Faceplant, I expect picket lines any moment now.
There isn't a third world incompetent alive today that would trade a lock of hair for this thing let alone duplicate the iPad = kidney story.
Remember all the talk of national ids after 9/11 and RFID chips in passports or drivers licenses. What if TPTB realized they could get the masses not only to accept something that had the same properties as a national id, but they could even get them to want it and feel they couldn’t live without it, and just for fun even get them to pay monthly for the privilege of having it? What if they packaged that something with all kinds of useful tools and must have applications? What if it made your life easier, you had the internet at the tip of your fingers at all times where you could access vital (and not so vital) information. What if it was tied into your bank account and you could make purchases with it, text your friends, access your email, entertain you, take a photo, record a video, keep you connected to social media where you were encouraged to expose every inane detail of your life to your “friends”? What if all those perks made the something so valuable to you and so ingrained in your psyche that if you ever left home without it, you would feel like something was missing, you would feel disconnected? What if you thought everything you did on this something was private but in reality the makers of these somethings and the servicers of these somethings were cooperating with TPTB to make all of the data stored on them accessible to the authorities? What if that something tracks everything fucking thing you do, not just where you are and where you’ve been? What if that was the real purpose of the something, buried under all those perks? What if all that information being gathered was used for purposes of control and prosecution? What if it gets worse?
Umm.. sure, but, hey, did you read about the NEW and even BETTER integration of Facebook? Man, that is so cool, now I can really keep up with my 812 friends in the Social Network, man!
Uh, you were saying .. ?
This post, and its use of the "What if?" rhetorical, reminded me of some of the best of Andrew Napolitano.
"What if democracy is bunk?"
http://lewrockwell.com/napolitano/napolitano42.1.html
MOG, what if ievi IS Napolitano? O.o
Ding ding ding ding! That's why you never hear about that National ID Card thing anymore! We'll PAY to have our slave collars affixed around our necks, they come with such pretty accessories and apps!
Yes, think of the increase in GDP and jobs(in china)
You mean the new 6th row right...???
1...2...3...4....5...6...
6th row will come in handy for managing all those E-Foodstamp vouchers
For the more seasoned, it is simply another display I cannot read without my damn reading glasses. Or even remember where the phone or the glasses are located.
How seasoned...???
80 years old seasoned....???
Older...???
90, maybe...???
Stop thinking in terms of your IQ...
Although 90 may be generous.
Give him a break, he only has so many (5) fingers.
Five rows per screen. The bottom row is static, and appears on every screen.
yes indeed, well spotted Eagle Eye
now discounting the static bottom line of Apps, count how many are above?
Another row means more apps which = + 0.5% GDP and Nasdaq +5%.
Timmy to come out with the "Donate to reduce the national debt" app, with the tag line "Pay me now or pay me later!"
Is it my imagination, or have Apple copied Samsung's offering now?
Yes, indeed, looks almost identical to an S2.
Maybe Samsung will sue Apple now.
Poor people in 2020 with the futur iphone 10... similar to a control TV or a
rear-view mirror !! but a little more expensive in spite of having "samsung inside" and "made in China".They borrowed the idea from disposable razor manufacturers. One step away from having a screen on the back for extra precision.
This is the "big improvement" people have been waiting for?
I have over 3x's the number icons on my Android (and can modify how much, or little, widgets I want) lol
Not it isn't the icons that increase productivity, it is the app that shows vacant parking spaces
I see post-Jobs Apple is really pushing forward with the innovation. 5 lines of icons really makes a big difference.
The lack of innovation will do nothing to soften the geekboners
The new one is on the right, correct?
pods
It's quite counter-intuitive as electronic devices should be getting smaller with each generation
Just wait. Once the Boomers get old enough, the iPhone will look like the Jitterbug.
No Apple is heading toward the Iron Man heads up electronic audio-visual display
by which time GOOn will look like the suit Stark made in a desert cave and Microshite will look like the clapped out car they used in Animal House to ram the VIP stand with
You're sounding hysterical.
I already heard a Slayer tune as elevator muzak the other day....fuck...
SDO,
I just want you to know I gave you ONE of your many up arrows for that comment.
Freaking awesome comment.
I hope it was Angel of Death and you were in a Goldman elevator.
Yes, but it's not necessarily the case with toys.
Pardon me Sir, but us real geeks tend to stay away from i<Insert whichever the hell product from apple you desire> stuff. Not that the devices are not good, quote the contrary; it's their idiotic application and ownership policy that's the deterrent.
Indeed.
iIndeed.
iPeaked
I second the motion.
but the new pin will soften their pockets.
Tell me they didn't fuck with the connector PIN!!!! Say It isn't so ... programmed obselecence. What will I do with all the chargers, Clock radios. car kits and computer connections .... Have I got to Junks the Lots Man?
I FuckedXApple
In ancient times people got burried with tools they'd require in the afterlife. By the look of it, Steve Jobs got burried with an iPhone.
iBet you're just jealous.
<To the moon Ben Alice.>
I still have my NEC n908, rectangular phones with nothing more than an LCD touchscreen on one side have definitely changed in seven or so years.
Apple is a PR & marketing shop. Secondarily a design shop. Their "innovation" is hyped myth by Marketing, even going all the way back to the original Apple GUI (which Xerox didn`t have much use for at the time, and couldn`t figure out how to effectively monetize).
a Sure QE tomorrow
big WRONG.
something something something... bitchez!
There's an app for that: iBitchez!
WTF is with 1610 e-mails?
1610 Un-read emails.. thats productivity for you..
"Dear Sir
I am Nick HeavyWithDollarz and I require many assistances on transferring my enromous wealth abroad so I decided to reach out to a stranger on the internet for help.
Many thanks and blessings.
Nick HeavyWithDollarz, CEO, PMP, CIO, President, Hombre el Wapo."
That's what 1600 emails says to me.
I wouldnt read them either if they were all in Chinese
Well the new iPhone comes with a complimentary email explaining to the owner that there is email on the phone. Like a new voice mail box comes with a complimentary voice mail explaining that you have voice mail on a meridian system.
Fucking value plus plus plus.
It is the Zeitgeist:
Info overload. How to carry the bane of your existence, in your pocket.
The new one reads the emails for you.
The new one looks too big to me.
'Cause it's a turn on...
That device on the left looks like it is owned by someone with the shittiest kind of life i can imagine...egads...
is it Ella ? or is it Memorex?
Which one is which? (If that's not too unpatriotic a question to ask.)
iCarumba!
iFail
this is the gay-est, weakest most pathetic excuse for a launch i have EVER seen. What a farcical uninsipired, mundane re-HASH. This is no Steve Jobs revolution. This is an MBA running the design team.
You just summed up how the world operates now. MBA's running the show.
Haaavad MBA's.
There's a difference.
The guys from Haaavad read all them cases abouts Larry Summers and Mohamed El-Ariane.
(I always wonder why that special name has pork in it... Mo-ham-id... must be a Zionist recipe)
I call it Bumblefuck management. All those poor hedge funds...I'm sure there is an app for dumping shares before the next guy.
Uhh, yeah kind of underwhelming...
http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/12/iphone-5-whats-changed/
What a f**king joke.
you've summed up GOOnbubbles desperate strategy to dump Android onto the phone market very succinctly
Time to sit back and watch the idiots throw away the phones they got 6 months ago to pick up this latest piece of shit.
In HK theyll go to Mongkok and sell them to a second hand dealer who will then either resell it locally or send it to a handler in Chung King Mansion for forwarding to some other third world market in Africa etc.
HK is a major staging point for second hand phone redistribution. Of course all the phones are unlocked, unlike in the US.
oooh, great point. we're 'probably' going to get more gazelle.com girl comercials.
Might have been a good idea to fill that fifth row full of icons to show the necessity.
New sales slogan: It's got Samsung inside!
not 4 long
iJumped a shark
But.....but.....but it has 4G for crying out loud.
And it's NEW.
Now we only need a 4G service provider here in Europe and it will make sense to buy one!
where is the Facebook app ????
Look for a "Sell" icon.
how many years of salary would it take for one of those children at Foxconn to save enough to buy one of these?
iGuess iDontcare, iSthereanappforthat?
Where did you get the idea that children work there? Also without Apple these people would already be dead. Apple saved their lives, believe it or not.
.
So Apple bought the anti-suicide nets for FoxConn?
new hires at foxconn make $245/month,so it takes 24 days to buy one
after 3 months salary goes to $285/month, so it takes 21.5 days to earn that phone
salary goes up to $550/month after bonus and overtime, so it would take
10.9 days to get that phone
US MacDonald cashier makes $7.22/hour
That $550 is worth 3480 yuan, a good salary in China.
remember millions of people in China have left poverty in recent years as opposed to the US
really???
Isick of hearing bout fucking Apple...
we need a Steve Jobs hologram !!!!!
How about tranny porn and a Hand Job hologram?
The iPhone already has Facetime. Might work for the Rainbow people.
Kinda reminds your of the evolution of Windows.
btw... what is MICROSOFT doing?? Anybody here remember the time when Apple was something for a few graphics designers and EVERYTHING was about MICROSOFT?
Microshite are lying low
...so low you'd not be mistaken thinking they're buried
You havent heard all the hype about Windows Phone 8?
http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/20/live-microsoft-windows-phone-event/
Yes, i've heard it's all hype
Microsoft? Busy chasing away the corporate crowd from the M$ desktop OS using the metrosexual interface in 8. They decided what the desktop needed was a low res low color 8 bit imitation / retro look. Also they felt not enough workers needed training to use the OS, so they moved everything around and made it as difficult as possible to find anything.
Can't say I really understand why corporations embraced Microsoft, apart from herd behavior. They make the very worst crash-prone OSes, they're consistently behind when it comes to including device drivers and updates, their OSes are very prone to viruses (with anti-virus programs which are in-themselves viruses), and are completely opaque with respect to source code. Oh, and they have a built-in NSA back-door. (Here is the official denial) Their one accomplishment does seem to be in moving things around needlessly, exemplified by the introduction of the "ribbon" in their office 2007 applications. This is in contradistinction with Apple, which has long dictated "look and feel" though proprietary hardware, patents, and trademarks, managing to maintain consistency wrt the user interface.
Samsung Galaxy clone.
yes what about the Samsung Galaxy clone of the iPhone and iPad?
i pressed "Follow Samsung" on my twitter account
Correct Samsung Galaxy is a clone.
iPhone5 on right
iPhone5 on left
Thanks, I got confused there for a second.
It's all about keeping the NASDAQ from going down. 618 billion dollar market cap. Looks like a short to me as soon as Bernanke decides how crazy he's going to be tomorrow.
if you cant make it better, make it bigger.........
Something the wife said?
-
I knew we will end up with sex...
The WiFi you mean? /s/ I might need a divorce from mine.
Where the fuck is Corzine?
Now THERE'S an app.
Has it been jailbroken yet?
they would sell alot more if it was shaped like a PENIS and VIBRATED !!! Maybe iPhone Sex will have that.
It is fucking assinine. I saw an old money guy lose his house, he's in a rental, he can hardly make ends meet...and he just singed a 2 year ccontract for over $4,500 so he and his kid can have.....iPhones with unlimited data and voice.
If the kids are teenagers and are pestering the crap out of him - food and shelter are nice, but peace and quiet...
LOL!
Looks like the innovation took the dead end route to me.
wonder if Greenlight's a seller or buyer today
What's the melt value on that sucker?
iPhone(y)...
iYawn

hey thanks man I am going to watch and spread this doc.. looking to get my first fluoride filter... any recommendations?
No, not yet - looking into the same thing myself - Rockwell's site had some recommendations a while back. I'll start there and then check reviews. Thanks for spreading.
No thanks to the iPhone clod who downvoted me.
