What's new

***OFFICIAL*** Received your new iphone 5? tell us about it here!

Do you use Verizon? If so yes Do you have 4G in your area and your phone could use more speed, if so yes? Is screen size a issue, If so yes? If none of these things matter, No. I'm very happy with my i5 because on Verizon my i4S could not do data and voice simultaneously, it was a pain because im a HVAC tech and need to surf the web and talk or send pictures/Emails/weblinks and talk but couldn't, so it was a no brainier for me.

So how did you do voice and data together? Everything I've read says that you can't on Verizon.

Mine was in perfect condition when I opened the box.
 
I agree w/ the above comment... why expect or desire something different when what we're using is completely up to snuff!

I'm not saying that they should flip over everything, I'm just saying, that there could be some new innovative things concidering the iOS design or the composition of thinks u know?

You are right, it is totally working and everything. Thinking of younger users and those who want to have fun with there funs and not just a working phone...the first think comming to my mind is the "live Wallpapers" of android for eg. not a big thing, but it's fun:)

Since activating my iPhone 5 yesterday, I have had no problems with it at all. App downloads are much faster with iOS 6. An app that took 10 minutes to download now takes seconds.
The new, larger display lets me notice which apps haven't yet been updated to take full advantage of the new display size. The iPhone forums app, for example, has black bars at the top and bottom or sides, depending on how you hold the phone.
Here is a screenshot to illustrate the issue.

Ok, i got my Iphone 5 now my problem is i can't connect my phone with my Itunes ,the first thing the system said i need the iTunes 10.7 ,i try to install it but the system again refuse and said the i need the version Ma OS X 10.6.8 ,i download it ,now the system again refuse and said i need the version before which is 10.6 before i update my Mac with 10.6.8 ,i'm looking for this version all over ,can't found it ...my Iphone is fine ,but i need to sync with iTunes in order to got all my information back in my new IPhone ....
 
Well, first let me say I finally got my iPhone5 on Friday (10/5/12). It was worth the wait! Aside from the bigger screen, the slimmer design and noticing the faster speed when on LTE, the one thing I have been absolutely blown away by is the iPhone's ability to handle wi-fi and the speed when connected to wi-fi. I always skip a generation on my phones, so I had the iPhone4 and skipped the 4s. My 4 when connected to wi-fi could only handle roughly 21 mbps download speed and 4.2 mbps upload speed. One of the first things I did after getting home and connecting to itunes and syncing my phone was running a speed test while connected to wi-fi. I didn't believe the results I saw, 40.92 Mbps!!!!! So I ran another, 39 Mbps!! And then a third, 40.6 Mbps. :D Speed Speed Speed is what I want when dealing with my computers and cell phones, I pay for a fast internet service but that service is useless if your computer and/or cell phone can't handle the speed, well this phone CAN!!!! THIS PHONE IS A MUST HAVE, if you are an "Apple" person and have not had the chance to get your hands on one, be patient, it is well worth the wait. GREAT JOB APPLE!

I noticed this on the plastic screen smudge protector but when I removed that the screen was pristine. That plastic is not meant to be there during use.
 
I should be getting an iPhone 5 soon. I'll let you know when I do and what I think about it :)
 
I have a tracking number for mine, but can't track it, soooooo annoying. Suppose to arrive on or before 12th. Wish UPS would get their act together a tracking number should mean it can be tracked !!
