    Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence.

    Yet it gets its own thread on here which will be read by the search bots and used as stats by Apple.

    ...and that's what they're relying on. Of course it's all stage managed.

    Stupid really, as the [s:2j9tpjse]fanboys[/s:2j9tpjse] loyal customers who get excited about it will be excited because it's coming out soon with or without the transparent theatrics.

    The Apple marketing machine has started, what will they claim to have invented on this one.

    My friend's son, who is a freelance Android developer, lost a bag with five pre-launch, development phones in it. He had them to test in pubs &
    clubs etc. So it does happen.

    For some of us the acid test will be if Dawson2k5 posts it in Sales Corner.

    :shock:

    They have to field test phones. Just like everything else.

    Would you buy a car that had never been tested on a real road?

    I've had mine for a few weeks and have to give them regular feedback on how it is operating etc. :lol:
    It's just a matter of time...

    I got mine 3 years ago. The iPhone 7 I just got is the bollocks at the side of it. It has a special mode which when shown to strangers makes them kneel and worship the handset, one offered to cut his liver out and give it to me as an offering which was a bit weird.

    lol.

    I'd be more enthusiastic about my lolling, but this latest orchestration is as predictable as breathing. Anyway, for the bots: Apple, iPhone 5, iOS. iThere ya go. Not that it's needed, there are several tens of millions of twenty-something male bloggers, reporters and journos talking about it exclusively and breathlessly on the internet, from America - which perhaps partly explains the industrial slowdown there...?

    Nobody is suggesting they shouldn't field test?

    My post was because it seems too much of a coincidence - almost viral marketing :wink:

    I'd love to be the first to discover one of Apple's "lost" iPhones. I'd smash it under my heel, stick it in an old plastic bag, and throw it in a bin.

    In certain quarters you'd be burned at the stake as an unbeliever. At the very least you'd be on the ducking stool :D
