New phone is taller but not wider, according to what I just read.
Yep true. Not much of an improvement over the 4S overall  :-\

Just evolution, faster chip, better screen, thinner, better battery

If you want a phone predominantly, don't buy an iPhone, the phone as an application is crap IMO. Although it works obviously.

Smartphones stopped being just phones a good 15 years ago, if not more. A multimedia device you might say...? :)

I think of the iPhone as a "swiss army knife"  ;)

People keep mentioning the stable word......cant say I have had to re-boot any of the competitor options for a long time in fact the last one I did was the wifes older symbian based one.

For me the iphone is crap at calls and to pricey plus its not to rugged hence not an option.  :y

I've just watched a report on Bloomberg about the unveiling of this device - it seemed more akin to a preacher imploring the disciples of technology to fall and worship before the altar of this must have device than anything else. ;D ;D

Yes i tend agree Den, it's what turns my stomach a bit about Apple. Over the top enfasis on the greatness, even for Americans surely?

Although as said before, they know how to promote a product. If Nokia had a fraction of the same approach they wouldn't be in the shite they are in now, in fact Apple wouldn't be as predominant as they are now. I can see Jobs looking at the smartphone market In the early days and rubbing his hands the glee. Eeeeeasy pickings.

The iPhone is not crap at making calls btw, it has a crap phone application, specifically, the number keys disappearing onto another page when the call starts, so toggling back and forth between, say, selecting speaker phone, and selecting number keys when selecting number options on automated systems. Just strikes me as a pita and an unnecessary complication, but probably to do with being a touchscreen device maybe? I haven't given it much thought as to why except that it's irritating IMO.

Oh, and I ove the clumsy ninja too. ;D
