Hi guys! There are a lot of rumors that the Iphone 5 will be released late this year. ARe you excited for it? Are you planning to buy it once it goes out of the market? I purchased the Iphone 4S last year so I do not think I will buy the Iphone 5. Since I already have an Iphone, I do not think I need another one. There are some people though that buy too many Iphones. When I was buying my Iphone, there was a woman who bought 4 phones and a man who bought six! I was surprised that the Iphone was so in demand. The Iphone was even sold out in most of the stores. How about you? Do you want to get one? Do you think it is worth the price?

Hi there,
I would love to get one of those iPhone 5... but I need to save up some money for me to be able to buy one =) I've also read about its release on September 12 and some says its gonna be release on the 21st.
Some people have so much money so they were able to buy for the whole family =)

It's funny how consumers would react to this. There are a lot of iphone fanatics out there who would throw away their iphone 4s for the latest iphone 5 which i think will come out this fall together with the iOS 6. I've been a user of different smartphones and i don't stick to just one phone. I have a blackberry, htc, galaxy s2, iPhone 4, etc. I don't like comparing them and saying which is the best among those smartphones in the market. It all depends on your needs and preferences.
I don't think you need an iphone 5 unless you're one those fanatics of apple products. But then again it's all up to you because you know how tempting these gadgets are.

There are a lot of fanatics. Like the ones I mentioned in the my discussion above, there are people who bought like 5 or 6 iphone 4s when I bought mine. Yep! I will sticking to my 4s for now. I might wait for the iphone 6 :) Once I tried apple, I do not think I am ever using a different brand again.

Seeing as I got an Asus Nexus 7, I will have to say no.
I also want to say that their prices are too high.. people who tend to buy more than one of the newest item typically sell them elsewhere for a drastically higher price
Though I suppose if they want the cosmetic effects to look better for a "mere" 300+ dollars, why not? I'm not trying to bash Apple, it simply seems that the things they release are too overpriced.

Yes I'm very excited on Iphone 5, and I'm planning to buy one hopefully when I get to work in abroad by this november. My sister have an iPhone 4s too and its has a good quality, so I'm expecting that the iPhone 5 is more better than the old model. And I like the slim phones. I have known some friends that they sell their old Iphone and then purchase the new release model. You can also do that but if your already satisfied on your current iPhone that is also fine.

I want to see the Iphone 5 too! But I just bought my Iphone 4s recently so I think it would be a waste if I buy a the Iphone 5. I think I will wait for the Iphone 6 LOL. Happy mylotting!

Yes you heard right. It is expected to release by the end of this year. I've reasons to believe so because of a friend's discussion: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2690338.aspx
As for me, I use an Android and I'm pretty much happy with it. Unusual demand, hype and Giffen good phenomenon inflates the prices of iPhones. Whereas you can get same features at cheaper rates. Of course the OS will be different. But it matters very little, as Androids are at par, sometimes even better. Good day!

Hi,
I am happy to know that you are already a proud owner of an I phone. I have bought a Samsung Galaxy Ace a few months back and it is my first Android device. I am quite happy with this cell phone of mine and would not consider buying an I phone5 soon after it launches. However, I do change phones every two years and if I can afford this at that time, I would consider buying it.

hi there savagecabbage,
honestly speaking, i really love to have that gadget, iphone5. however, due to some reason, i cannot have it. as my budget is not capable of buying one for me. though i have the money but i need to think the practical side of life. perhaps, i will just avail of the thing which has a much lesser price.

Not for me. Those who keep changing phones to newer versions are just running after the wind. They can never catch up. They must be rich.
I am not.

Hi Savage, Yeah I am very interested on Iphone but I didn't busy and I won't until I am getting some good amount of salary but my cousine brothers using iphones and some of my friends also using iphones, So I used to take that for some days so I experienced iphone and very excited on that but I am sure I will buy the next version of iphone after iphone 5. I hope that will be a 3d mobile.

dear
I am in a market for a new phone. I have a iphone 4 when it was first released which was 2 years ago. I am looking for a simplier phone with a qwerty keyboard and everything but if the iphone 5 comes out and i really like it i would consider buying it. 4 iphones? why in the world would someone need that many!!

I don't buy iphone no matter how much is it. It is strange to see that all the people on the street are using iphone. I don't want to be one of them.

I will be honest- Unless the new iPhone gives you superpowers and/or the ability to teleport, I probably won't really think it's worth the price. I don't even have an iPhone, though I've been intending to maybe get one- More for the way the apps can help kill time during travel than anything else. Probably just a cheaper, older version. I probably wouldn't need any added functionality the iPhone 5 gives.

Although iPhone is quite popular, but I am not an Apple fan anyway. I think iPhone 5 will be released this year. I am just curious what the improvements for it. I will not buy it since it is quite expensive. And sometimes it is even out of stock. I like to buy an Android smartphone because it has the similar Apps like Apple. And these smartphones are cool and the price is worthy.
I love China
