I'm actually a bit excited to see ios7, but not excited enough to watch the stream, but if 7 turns out ok I might actually get an iPhone next, as I do think the phones themselves look and feel nice, but ios has always been a turnoff for me.

I'm curious how iOS 7 feels.  I'll probably upgrade eventually.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

The iPhone 5S (if such exists) is likely to be little different, the 5C is supposed to be the cheaper version.

Most people would have seen iOS 7 somewhere - using it yourself will give a different impression to watching someone else use it.

I am wondering whether there will be any new Macs.

I've been an iPhone user since the 4 and my 5 has aged like ****. The home and lock buttons are either broken or half broken, iOS6 is horrible and so I've had to jailbreak it just so it's on par with android phones....

That said I'm too invested now to be able to afford to change platform...


But yeah interested to see if they have fixed messaging in iOS (because it sucks, bring fb chat heads please!) and generally made it eaiser to use generally, otherwise I might just stick it out with my broken iPhone 5....

I am invested as well into the platform and I didn't regret it. Don't think I want to try Android and re-purchase all the apps that was in iOS - also not sure if Android has all the iOS app I am using.

Having said that, I won't upgrade my current 4S unless they have a bigger screen iPhone! It's about time, come on Tim Cook!!

also not sure if Android has all the iOS app I am using.

A year ago I might have been worried about this but as it stands today you'd be hard pressed not to find most the major apps on both platforms or at least a better alternative. When I made the switch I was worried but I'm 100% converted now, Android is just a much more advanced application eco-system overall.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

I don't, but a little more width would make the keyboard alot easier to use... But I'm assuming you quoted the wrong person :P

I find it amusing that people are getting excited over features that us Android users have been using for years now. iOS7 is now getting a quick settings panel, WOW. Mind=blown.

Apple is such a joke of a company. They've been smoked by Samsung and will probably never be able to catch up again, because they were lazy and spent way too much time resting on their laurels and trying to sue other companies. Now there's going to be an iPhone 5C for the Chinese.. and at $400, most of them still won't be able to afford it. It's kind of like saying, "This is the iPhone for you poor people out there", and honestly, who would want that? Because most people who buy iPhone's buy it as a status symbol, not because it's a good phone. Not saying that it's a bad phone, but there are so many other better phones out there. For like 1/3 the price.

They've been smoked by Samsung and will probably never be able to catch up again, because they were lazy and spent way too much time resting on their laurels and trying to sue other companies. Now there's going to be an iPhone 5C for the Chinese.. and at $400, most of them still won't be able to afford it. It's kind of like saying, "This is the iPhone for you poor people out there", and honestly, who would want that? Because most people who buy iPhone's buy it as a status symbol, not because it's a good phone. Not saying that it's a bad phone, but there are so many other better phones out there. For like 1/3 the price.

1/3 the price?
Most phones go for $500-$700 off contract, even Android phones.
The only exception is the Nexus 4, which is $200-300 off contract.

Your argument is bad.

Most of what I said wasn't an argument, it was a fact.

1. Android users have had that technology for years.
2. Apple has spent way too much time and money in lawsuits than in R&D.
3. Most Chinese people still won't be able to afford a $400 phone.
4. The Nexus 4 was $300 at launch, and it's even cheaper now. And it has a better CPU and better screen.

Those aren't arguments. Those are facts.

The 16GB N4 is $250. That's $400 less than the iPhone 5.

i r bad driver, in that i only drive with gps, one day driving with about to leave i couldn't get a gps signal, and had a 2 hour trip home, so i pulled out her iphone 4s (work phone). I'm like wtf... i can't see the screen! i'm so used to driving with my galaxy s3 vs. her iphone4s (she was playing a game on her iphone5, wouldn't hand it over).

at this point in life after using the galaxy3 for a year, i'm ready for the 5in screen, i don't know how ppl deal with the puny screens. Heck i have an old ipod touch and an old iphone 4 around the house (as music players, general clocks, etc) and i'm amazed when i pick them up and go, whoa so tiny!
