Who else bought the iPhone 5 already?

We bought ours today. Hubby and I have both been waiting for them to come out for a while, so we were able to use our upgrade for them! I LOVE this phone so far!

Would it still work as a wifi hot spot for my laptop? I use my 4 like that now, I was going to get a galaxy but I googled iPhone 5 & now since I love my current iPhone I might stick with it... If you don't mind my asking... How much was it? The only thing I don't like I'd that you have to have an apple ID Account to buy any games or ringtones or anything... Which requires a credit card that I don't have :(

Really? It's such an improvement over the last, and soooo fast. It's gotten really good reviews.
Yah, I'm not sure on specifics, she just thinks for her there wasn't that many improvements, and they took away what she liked for other things.


I have an appleID account without a credit card (for my iPod)

Hahaha me too or (god for I'd because I love it) something happens to it or a really good upgrade offer comes along ... My weakness has always been electronics, tech, gadgets & entertainment lol.

Like I said I was goin to get a galaxy but I love my iPhone so much that I might just stick with them... How's the battery life on the 5? For me (I surf on my phone a lot) that's a biggie.

Lots of friends had issues with their 5's and the related iOS 6 upgrade. Primarily with the email app, by the sounds of things? Apple controls a lot of the software you have to use for file extensions.

All too familiar to me. I'm sticking with Android.

(Nothing against folks who use Apple products. Seriously. I just have a big beef with their ongoing limitations on accessibility that are masked by a nice interface and functional, but not extensive features.)

I have a 4S right now, but I doubt I'll get the 5. I don't like them at all, but I need to actually physically play with one before I make a decision. The only reason I got the 4S was for the camera. (And because it was free.) I had originally wanted the Galaxy Nexus. Apple makes everything they do sound so revolutionary. It drives me crazy.

I still have a 3G iPhone LOL, not even the 3GS! I'm probably going to upgrade to a 4 (free) or 4S ($100) and get a Lifeproof case for it vs spending the money on a 5.

I'll wait a couple months until it costs $200 on Craigslist. Then I will get it. Lol.

I had a 3GS, so I was more than ready to upgrade. If I had a 4 or 4S, I wouldn't have bothered. It was $200 with my upgrade ($650 without a contract).

Android is waaaay more clunky & complicated to me then apple's IOS.

Does anyone have the galaxy S 2 or 3? (the comparable device to the iPhone) do you like it? Would you recomend it? I know at some point I wil need to upgrade but as long as it ain't broke who fix it, I can pass up my upgrade for now & always take it later if I have to.

I didn't get thr 4 S because apt of ppl were saying they had probs with the battery life & such. I love my 4 tho... It always works great, it's easy to use & thr IOS is solo much faster then android. I have always liked apple products... I had an apple computer back in thr day when they still called them Mac's lol would love to have another one but they are so darn expensive since that guy died.

How did you set up your apple id account without a debit or credit card? Every time I try it asks me for one.

On the way and so excited but I'm a geek like that. :)

I pre-ordered but it won't be here til this Thursday. Weeeee!

I have the 4, never upgraded to the 4S because I didn't feel the need. But I was due for an upgrade, and my back of my current phone is completely shattered, otherwise I probably would've just waited. But I'm excited nonetheless. I always like getting new techy things.

I'm an Apple fan ALL the way though. My whole fam ditched their androids for iphones... to me, they're just much more complicated and not as user friendly (for a family full of non-computer people).

I'm honestly not even sure HOW I did it, I just know i have one without it, as do my mom and brother LOL

I have friends with the S2 and S3 and they loooove it. My dad just has the Galaxy S and even he can use it no problem (and he is electronic-stupid).

Android *is* "more complicated" than the Apple iOS I guess, but, well, that's kind of why people like it :lol-sign: Way more customizable than Apple.

No - because I do not have any d@mn money but do have a working iPhone 4 lol. It's just over a year old now and still going strong; IOS 6 is wonky (at least on my 4). Will wait a while for the 5 - maybe around New Year's or so.

I just got the 4S a couple weeks ago since my 4 shattered in the wreck, so no. Not getting the 5 any time soon.

Nope. I got a 4G LG Revolution last year, and it's still working wonderfully for me. Although I really don't use it for anything except entertaining myself for when DH is making me wait in a car.
