These are not imaginary man I dont post fantasies

This is not speculation its factual

A couple of things wrong with your "factual" hypothesis:
1) The iPhone 4/4S already packs the highest ppi screen (326 ppi) of any product on the market. I don't doubt that the resolution will go up a smidge along with a longer screen, but don't expect a noticeable change in density. It's as good as we're getting for now.
2) The A5X is a SoC that features the same dual-core processor found in the iPhone 4S's A5, with two additional cores for it's GPU component in order to power the iPad's Retina display. I'd imagine the next iPhone would be upgraded to a quad-core processor, probably what they'd call an A6.
3) Just because the product was planned out before Jobs passed away doesn't mean the tech is old. On the contrary, Apple often plans to use tech that doesn't even exist at the time of planning.

I never said at any portion that the ppi would go up an amazing amount retina works around 300 so there's no need to change a sound idea . The resolution will increase thou that's just factual however the base will be around 300 ppi. Other then dithering the point at which points am I soundly wrong? They plan far out however Steve jobs was the forerunner for the company which was my point respectively.

Well as far as displays are concerned, the transparent displays purported on the web would be real nice, but it'll have issues in dark light unless they use supplemental light sources. And they'd have to figure out some killer design tricks to fit the same hardware into the upper and lower cavities of the unit. This means dealing with a large battery as well.

I doubt it will be economically feasible for awhile off, but it'd be cool when it does surface.

You think it will be a NFC chip in the iPhone 5 ?

Hello everyone. iPhone 5 will be released on 12 September.

I can not wait !

Officially goes on sale in October as earlier posts say and pre-orders this month.

Well I'd say its time to list out the full specs of the iphone 5 from the information I have that was confirmed in development around October 2011 before the death of Steve Jobs.

Screen Size: 4.1 inch LCD
Resolution: 640 x 1136
Models: 16 GB / 32 GB / 64 GB
CPU: 1.2 - 2.0 Ghz Arm Cortex A9 Tegra 3.1 Apple A6 Quad Core
RAM: 1024 MB DDR2 (1 GB)
Camera: 8.0 MP rear / 1.3 MP Front
Video: Front 1080p / 720p Front
Network: 4G LTE
OS Version: IOS 6.0 (Development Finished August 2012)
Release Date: October 2012 (Unveiling September 2012)
Connector: 19 pin connector
Battery: 3.8 Volt battery (~1450 mah)

Now I think thats everything

The iStrech is out and looks like on the iPhone 5 newsblog.

He presented a new iPod touch and a useful bigger iPod Nano
The new EarPods headphones were alredy leaked like some iPhone 5 parts.

Let's see how you did:

Screen size: Wrong.
Resolution: Technically wrong - it's 1136 x 640, not 640 x 1136 - but I'll give it to you so you're not wrong on about everything.
PCU : Wrong. It's a dual core chip running at a yet unknown frequency.
RAM: As far as I know that hasn't been revealed yet, but I'd guess you're right here.
Camera: Half-wrong. Rear is 8MP, front is still VGA.
Video: Half wrong - front is 1080p, front is still VGA.
Network: Right.
OS: Right, though they didn't mention anything about development being completed in August.
Release Date: Wrong, September 21st - not October.
Connector: Wrong, 8-pin connector.
Battery: Wrongish, 1440 maH - though you did admit you weren't sure of the specific one yourself there.

Perhaps being a tech analyst is not in your future.

By definition the specs I had I knew were not going to be exactly correct as I got this from a source all the way back in 2011 so from my perspective its right on. I was hopping they would go with a quad core but o well can't get everything right concerning the performance. I'm disappointed either way though the Android Devices coming out in November will likely be quad core and not a dual core.

I'm not an analyst man I obtained these specs from a source lol. @ the Resolution well I always flip flop em for some strange reason. You can say I completely failed concerning the core amount and really thats about it. October Release is correct when the people will actually get it you will be lucky to get it in September haha.

I just hope these high resolution screens catch on with third party manufacturors. I would love to have a 300 dpi 24" display on my desktop. It seems like everything maxes out at 1080 lines of resolution these days, when I had 1200 lines of resolution 10 years ago. 7200x4050 would change everything.

Not to nitpick - because essentially this doesn't matter - but being wrong on 8 out of 11 of your points isn't exactly even remotely close...

Well man I'm throwing in the white flag cause I just don't care.

Apple’s next iPhone is official, and despite being the sixth
iPhone model (technically), we know it’s officially the iPhone
5.
Over the last year, we've heard a ton of rumors about what it
might deliver with LTE, a taller display, and a redesigned
connector being the most likely tidbits. Fortunately, we now
can put all that speculation to rest as Apple spilled the secrets.
Taller, thinner, and a metal back
As expected, the new iPhone is 18 percent thinner (0.30 inch
vs. 0.37 inch thick) than the iPhone 4S. Apple says it's the
thinnest handset around, but that's a race that changes often.
That means it's also 20 percent lighter for a total of 3.95
ounces. The Retina Display expands from 3.5 inches (its size
since the original iPhone) to 4 inches. The total resolution
remains the same, though, at 326 pixels per inch. The total
pixel count is 1,136x640, and we now have a 16:9 aspect
ratio.
To the user, that means a fifth row of icons on the home
screen. That's pretty nice since it will let you cut down on the
number of home screens. You'll also get a full five-day week
view in the calendar, the calendar will show more events,
and all iWork apps will take advantage of the bigger display.
Third-party apps that haven't been updated will continue to
work, but you'll see black borders on each side (so they
won't be stretched or scaled). Apple also promises that wide-
screen movies will look better, with 44 percent more color
saturation than on the iPhone 4S.
Touch sensors are now built into the display itself, which
makes it 30 percent thinner as a result and less prone to
glare.
The iPhone 5 also fixes a design flaw that we first saw in the
iPhone 4. Apple replaced the glass back with one that's
mostly metal. Too many people (us included) cracked an
iPhone 4 or 4S after dropping it accidentally. We don't think
the change negatively affects the iPhone's aesthetics. In fact,
many might see it as an improvement. A return to a metal
back reminds one of the original iPhone, and the crisp, clean-
cut back has a bit of the feel of other Apple devices like the
iPad.
All of the design changes result in a new iPhone that's
surprisingly light to hold. Think 20 percent lighter isn't a big
deal? Pick one of these up and you'll feel the difference: the
iPhone 4 may have been dense, but the iPhone 5 is a
featherweight.
The screen is big, bright, and crisp, too, not shockingly so,
but a subtly improved experience. It's akin to being the
extrawide comfy chair of iPhone screens. Stay tuned for
more, but this new iPhone has a good hand feel.
LTE and carriers
Not a shocker either, but the iPhone 5 will support 4G LTE
networks. That's in addition to the current support for GPRS,
EDGE, EV-DO, and HSPA data networks. LTE has a single chip
for voice and data, a single radio chip, and a "dynamic
antenna" that will switch connections between different
networks automatically.
So which carriers will support an LTE iPhone 5? Well, in the
United States that means AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon Wireless.
So again, T-Mobile loses out. In Canada it's Rogers, Bell,
Telus, Fido, Virgin, and Kudo. In Asia the providers will be
SoftBank, SmarTone, SingTel, and SK Telecom. For Australia
there's Telstra, Optus, and Virgin Mobile, and in Europe it will
go to Deutsche Telekom and EE. On carriers without LTE, the
iPhone 5 will run on dual-band 3.5G HDPA+.
A faster chip
The iPhone 5 will offer an A6 chip, which is two times faster
than the current A5 chip. Graphics will get faster speeds, as
well. Yet, despite the speedier performance, the new chip will
be 22 percent smaller than the A5. According to Apple's
specs, users will see Web pages load 2.1 times faster, and the
Music app with songs will load 1.9 times faster.
Battery life
LTE tends to be a power hog, but the iPhone 5 is set to
deliver respectable battery life even if it's not quite the
Motorola Droid Razr Maxx. Of course, the real story may
differ, but here's what Apple is promising for now. We're
supposed to get 8 hours of 3G talk time, 8 hours of 3G
browsing, 8 hours of LTE browsing, 10 hours of Wi-Fi
browsing, 10 hours of video playback, 40 hours of music
playback, and 225 hours of standby time. You can be sure
that CNET will put these promises to the test when we get a
device in our hands.
Camera
The main shooter, or the "iSight" camera, stays at 8
megapixels (with the best resolution being 3,264x2,448 pixels)
with a feature list that includes backside illumination, a hybrid
IR filter, a five-element lens, and a f2.4 aperture. A dynamic
light mode is new, and you should be able to launch
photography apps up to 2.1 times faster. Another addition is
an image signal processor in the A6 chip. That will bring
spatial noise reduction and a "smart filter" that produces
better low-light performance and captures photos faster.
Finally, there's a built-in panorama mode that stitches shots
together for one large 28-megapixel photo.
The secondary front camera now can shoot 720p HD video
and it gets a backside illuminated sensor. And as we heard at
the announcement of iOS 6 back in June, FaceTime will work
over 3G cellular networks. Some carriers like AT&T have
already announced restrictions for that feature, so be sure to
check with your provider first.
Video resolution remains at 1080p HD, though image
stabilization has been improved and face detection is now
available in clips for up to 10 people. And in a nice move, you
can take photos while you're shooting video.
Audio
The iPhone 5 gets an additional microphone for a total of
three. You'll find one on the bottom, one on the handset's
front face, and one on its rear side. What's more, the speaker
now has five magnets (so up from two), which is apparently
better and it's supposed to use 20 percent less space. The
noise-canceling feature should be improved, as well, and
there's a new wideband audio feature that promises more-
natural-sounding voices. Twenty percent of carriers will
support wideband audio, but so far we only know that
Orange in the United Kingdom will be among them.
Smaller dock connector, smaller SIM card
On the bottom of the iPhone 5, there's that new and long-
anticipated smaller dock connector. Called "Lightning," it has
an all-digital, eight-signal design and an "adaptive
interface" (we're not quite sure what that means yet). It's 80
percent smaller, and since it's reversible, both ends will be the
same (that's kind of nice).
By all means, it's bound to annoy owners of current speaker
docks, accessories, and charger/syncing cables since it will
render them obsolete. Apple will offer an adapter and adapter
cables (of course it will), which range from $19 to $39. We
imagine, though, that the adapter may be awkward to use
with some current accessories like a bedside alarm clock/
music player. For new accessories, Apple says that
manufacturers like Bose, JBL, and Bowers are working on
new products.
Though we welcome the idea of a smaller connector, we're
miffed that Apple couldn't just adopt the semi-industry
standard of Micro-USB. That would make things easier for
smartphone users across the globe. Yet, even so, the smaller
connector may be a smart move for the future. The 30-pin
connector has been around since 2003, long before the
iPhone even existed: frankly, it's a dust magnet. A smaller
connector helps shave extra space to achieve a smaller phone
with perhaps a bigger battery. The new connector cable will
mainly be used for syncing and charging by most people
who own an Apple TV or Bluetooth/AirPlay accessories.
iOS 6
Inside, the iPhone 5 will debut with iOS 6 already onboard.
Highlights include the new Apple Maps app, Passbook,
shared photo streams, Siri updates, and the aforementioned
FaceTime over 3G. For more on Apple's newest mobile OS
update, check out our iOS 6 First Take. iOS 6 will be available
for download next Wednesday, September 19.
Release date and pricing
The iPhone 5 will be available in three capacity models, all of
which will come in black and white versions. The 16GB is
$199, the 32GB $299, and the 64GB $399. On September 21,
it will go on sale in nine countries: the United States, Canada,
the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Australia, Japan,
Hong Kong, and Singapore. Anyone in that first batch of
countries can preorder starting September 14. More countries
will follow by the end of this month, and by the end of the
year, the iPhone 5 will land at 240 carriers in 100 countries.
As a reminder, the U.S. carriers are the Big Three: Verizon,
AT&T, and Sprint.
Is this the iPhone you've been looking for?
During very brief hands-on time with the iPhone 5, this
much is clear: it's the weight you'll remember more than its
thinner profile. The iPhone 4S is already a svelte device: most
people probably won't spot the difference if they see the new
iPhone from the side.
The screen size, also, is more of a subtle improvement. This
isn't a jaw-dropping leap from the iPhone 4S: it's a gradual
increase, done almost so cleverly that the front face of the
iPhone 5 might, with the screen turned off, look very much
like the iPhone 4S. The proof will be in the pudding for how
app developers and iOS 6 take full advantage of that extra
screen real estate, but the bottom line is this: more screen
size and more pixels are good things.
The real killer app on this phone -- no surprise -- might be
the iPhone's 4G LTE, as well as the promised battery life. If
data speeds and battery life can live up to the promises, those
alone will make many want to upgrade.
Basic Specs
Weight 3.95 oz
Width 2.31 in
Depth 0.3 in
Height 4.87 in

First week of sales, there are so many problems. Firstly, the new Maps app is way too inaccurate. When I searched for the City Square Mall in Farrer Park, it shows up at NorthPoint in Yishun(in Singapore)! Also, the Petronas towers is also terribly blurry. Some buildings were also misplaced. When you rub anything with it, it will have scratches. There are also cracks on the phone, fresh out of the box! And the WiFi kept glitched. So you are better off with iPhone 4/4S.

Anyway, to restore Google Maps, here is what you can do:

1. Using the internet browser, go to Google maps.
2. Tap the arrow icon.
3. Tap ‘Add to Home Screen’
4. And it is installed as a web app.

Overall rating: D-

Now take your finger and slide it on these scratches. Now they're gone.

But mark is still there.

Devices scratch. My Lumia 800 scratched. My original iPhone scratched. My iPhone 3GS scratched. My HP TouchPad scratches. My glasses scratch. My printer scratches. Almost everything in the world scratches.

Next.

Clearly Derf or Pawned, you don't know what the guy means.

Does your Brand new out of the box phone have a scratch on it? No.

Devices are expected to be in supremely good condition the guy is not buying a used phone but a brand new one. I fear that the Steve Jobs distortion field is continuing to affect people. People have expectations for a device. Would you yourself buy a phone which had scratches or damage out of the box?

I've yet to see anything but an incredibly small group of people say that they've had scratches right out of the box, and those that do clearly were either damaged in transit (likely considering the large quantities these things travel in) or are manufacturer defects.

Well thats the point Derf if its damaged in transit which this phone is shouldn't it be returnable?

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/43 ... 0&tstart=0
This giant thread is full of people claiming that Apple happily replaced their damaged iPhone 5's. So it appears that they... are?

Sounds good then lol
