If Apple launches a true new phone (not just an upgraded 4) then it will have been the best job at keeping a company secret, that they have had in a while. I just haven't seen anything reported that is leaning towards a re-designed phone. I hope I am wrong though cause I am out of contract and would really like something new.

Mark7588 2011-10-04 07:53:55

I think there will be just upgraded iphione4 because there has been many reports but there were no information about re-designed Iphone but I still want to have entirely new Iphone.

SMELTN 2011-10-04 09:47:59

So question Ryan. I see it says manual update press F5, but there will not be an auto refresh on the liveblog?

yousufer 2011-10-04 12:24:10

kineticartist 2011-10-04 12:51:42

EBone 2011-10-04 12:58:37

Happy to see gdgt is back to covering live events. You always did a good job of it.

kineticartist 2011-10-04 13:00:51

oh cmon 40+K users will melt a rackspace server? I doubt it well maybe if your ops team doesnt have it balanced and rackspace chokes you for daily bandwidth overage

kineticartist 2011-10-04 13:06:32

MSNBC is copying you and went with a live blog GDGT innovates MSNBC copies lolol

serjoka 2011-10-04 13:23:43

Even Better than a live streaming! Really awesome Job Ryan!!!

EBone 2011-10-04 13:24:46

250 million iPads *sold* in 18 months. That's an incredible figure for a new product.

beau 2011-10-04 13:27:30

Should have called it "Instapapergram"

roberto 2011-10-04 13:31:47

30 minutes in, still nothing new.

bobdesign 2011-10-04 13:38:44

Excelent coverage about the keynote!!! AWESOME WORK GUYS of gdgt!!!!!!

groovechicken 2011-10-04 13:40:07

Almost 40 minutes in and nothing of note to talk about that isn't old news... this doesn't bode well for the Apple disciples. ;)

logic 2011-10-04 13:44:10

ryan, the best live coverage of an event (without video) for the Year 2011

Juehua 2011-10-04 13:50:46

jr77 2011-10-04 14:03:35

who is going to buy a ipod touch for 200 when you can get the fire for the same price

nmpike 2011-10-04 14:07:08

people who dont want a contract :)

groovechicken 2011-10-04 14:18:23

FYI, there's no contract on the Fire, Amazon's new tablet... you must be thinking of another product.

RichieW13 2011-10-04 14:10:51

Apple devotees

ssstraub 2011-10-04 15:11:29

People who mainly want a music/game player and something that fits in their pocket.
Kinder Fire comes with one storage size: 8 GB and is huge in every dimension compared to an iPod Touch.
iPod touch goes to 64 GB and fits in any pocket easily.

zakkforchilli 2011-10-04 14:14:48

Well shit, the 4S has everything I could imagine being in the 5... Except the new design. It seems almost unlikely now that we MIGHT not see the 5..

We've gotten proof of it in the Case-Mate deal.. But nothing solid on any sites like the "N94" we all saw on Inventory Lists..

RichieW13 2011-10-04 14:19:06

Am I the only one who has no interest in talking to my phone?

ffcsquall24 2011-10-04 14:24:04

sick of siri talk, if there is going to be iPhone 5 talk, get to it, i am already late for class by 30 minutes.

Blitzkrieg1138 2011-10-04 14:24:14

Ok so is the Siri specific to the 4S or will it function the same on the 4?

dnlpalestina 2011-10-04 14:24:32

Siri? What kind of name is that? I would prefer to call it HAL!

heyitsday 2011-10-04 14:25:00

i feel like there's no iPhone 5 being announced... sadly

zakkforchilli 2011-10-04 14:28:34

I'm right there with you..

I really really really hope it does... The new design is all I've been looking forward to. I knew all these awesome new features were way too obvious.. We need the 5!!! PRAY!

jdrichardstech 2011-10-04 14:26:30

i don't think there will be a 5 announcement

beau 2011-10-04 14:29:33

Can't imagine how difficult it is to do multi-language support on Siri.

nmpike 2011-10-04 14:29:39

If a 5 is announced Steve Jobs will do it at the very end I bet.

zakkforchilli 2011-10-04 14:30:44

I'd love that. I hope!!!

LILIS 2011-10-04 14:34:37

That would turn things around.
At least, their stock price should.

osokik 2011-10-04 14:30:35

Ow to pronounce Siri?

AstralWalker 2011-10-04 14:32:31

What about a good deli in LA?

LILIS 2011-10-04 14:33:37

"Siri, how's Greece?"
"It's bankrupt."

osokik 2011-10-04 14:34:03

Ever tried telling your BMW to present the map facing north? You have to use that 'stupid' voice, the faux calm voice.....like how you'd talk to the cops if you're high.
