Can't we just put up a disambiguation page for now? Marcus Qwertyus 06:16, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
I agree with Ashwin18, it should be redirected to iPhone 4S. I also thought about poeple who actually calls it 5 and not 4S so it should be that way. TheChampionMan1234 ( talk) 02:44, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
I noticed that my edits were removed based on supposed crystal balling but based on precedent, iPhone articles were always created subsequently after the announcement of a press conference and in some cases before that, given that correct sources have been provided. The image that was issued earlier today by Apple earlier today also seems evident that it is in relations to the iPhone 5 as there is an obvious shade produced in it. The liklihood of the event centering on other issues or products is extremely unlikely given the time and month it was issued. For the reasons above, I have decided to restore the information and noted very clearly that any other information that has yet to be verified by Apple is not to be included.

This has been done in the past particularly in the 3rd generation iPad article where several paragraphs on the lack of LTE functionality outside of North America are located in the "reception" section.

I would like to add a section to this article in the 'Reception' subheading. The following text is what I would recommend adding:
iPhone 5 Queues
The iPhone 5, like its predecessors, attracted a lot of attention on the day of it's release. People showed up globally to queue outside numerous Apple stores in the initial 9 countries open to public sale: US, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and the UK ( http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2012/09/12Apple-Introduces-iPhone-5.html).
United States: At the New York Apple store on 5th Avenue, Hazem Sayed was first in line to promote his start-up social media app Vibe ( http://vibearound.com/). Also in line were Gazelle sponsored Jessica Mellow and Keenen Thomspon who blogged about the experience ( http://iphonewhatever.com/) ( http://www.latinospost.com/articles/4188/20120916/iphone-5-line-begins-new-york-city.htm).
United Kingdom: Over 1200 ( http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2012/sep/21/iphone-5-apple-maps-queues) people lined up outside the Regent Street Apple store before the big opening. Front in line were Ryan Williams and Peter King who camped out for 7 days to use the publicity to promote Cancer Research UK Initiative 'Just Giving'( http://www.justgiving.com/iphone5cancerresearch) - their iPhone 5 was sold as a charity auction on eBay and went for £1,070.00 with 34 bids ( http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/iPhone-5-Charity-Auction-Im-first-line-London-/271059404660?pt=UK_Mobile_Phones&hash=item3f1c664774#ht_500wt_1160).
Among the front-runners at the Regent Street Apple store were Richard Wheatcroft and George Horne ( http://www.macworld.com.au/news/iphone-queue-fund-raisers-charity-begins-outside-the-apple-store-73419/). The duo were camped out in order to promote another charity, CrowdFuelledCauses ( http://crowdfuelledcauses.com/) Hope Boutique Bakery initiative aimed at helping women who were involved in trafficking, prostitution or who were abused ( http://www.macworld.com.au/news/iphone-queue-fund-raisers-charity-begins-outside-the-apple-store-73419/).
Australia: 600 people queued up outside Apple's flagship store in the Sydney CBD ( http://afr.com/p/technology/iphone_stocks_run_low_as_aussies_Q6TqOefGblo7W03iclpQHI) on George Street, the head of the line occupied by 'Aussie Todd' ( http://www.news.com.au/technology/smartphones/aussie-todd-foot-the-first-in-line-to-get-the-worlds-first-iphone5/story-fn6vihic-1226476971406) who works for MobilePhoneFinder.com.au ( http://www.mobilephonefinder.com.au), an Australian mobile phone plan comparison website who planned to giveaway the very 'First iPhone 5 in the World' ( http://www.mobilephonefinder.com.au/apple/iphone/iphone-5/the-very-first-iphone-5-is-up-for-grabs/). However, Apple have been accused of engineering the sale of the first iPhone 5 ( http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2012/09/iphone-5-launch-scandal-apple-accused-of-ignoring-queue-to-find-its-own-first-owners/) to go to two teenagers, James and Tamsyn, instead.
In Brisbane's Chermside Apple store, Apple Computers co-founder Steve Wozniak ( http://www.news.com.au/national/australia-goes-nuts-for-the-iphone-5-as-apple-founder-steve-wozniak-joins-our-queue/story-fncynjr2-1226478600390) showed up to sign autographs and get an iPhone 5 before his hometown California did.
Japan: Lines at the Tokyo Apple store stretched several blocks, despite rainy weather ( http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/long-queues-greet-apples-iphone-5-in-sydney-tokyo-270207). Some of the first people in the queue even ran live streams of the event. The Ginza district store even had some people sporting costumes for the event ( http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/iphone-5-unleashed-long-queues-greet-apple-latest-model-asia-australia-expected-frenzy-europe-u-s-article-1.1164349).
Singapore & Hong Kong: These two Asian countries used a prearranged booking system ( http://au.news.yahoo.com/world/a/-/world/14916838/apple-fans-across-asia-queue-for-iphone5/) for customers to pick up their iPhone 5 at a certain time. In Hong Kong, student Kevin Wong hoped to buy the iPhone 5 and sell it in mainland China for a profit - Hong Kong having no sales tax, coupled with a strong Yuan, meant that Wong could hope for a profit of over US$100 ( http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/iphone-5-unleashed-long-queues-greet-apple-latest-model-asia-australia-expected-frenzy-europe-u-s-article-1.1164349).
France: France's launch was met with the strike of their Apple employees ( http://www.thelocal.fr/page/view/striking-french-workers-threaten-iphone-5-launch).

Linkipedia ( talk) 02:27, 28 September 2012 (UTC) The second last paragraph should be corrected since the given reference [60] does not directly mention anything about Denmark. Furthermore, as stated here TeliaSonera has an LTE network in the Band 3, frequency 1800 MHz (supported by the iPhone 5) in the country. But all that is theoretically speaking anyways, real prove about actual support for the iPhone 5's 4G LTE on danish networks can be found on Telia's danish homepage. There's also another carrier, 3, that just rolled out a 4G LTE network in the biggest cities and will be fully compatible with the iPhone 5. Although both carries are not expecting the new iPhone to work on their LTE networks until November (with an iOS update, according to Telia).

We need to mention that Apple improved the build quality by further minimizing seams and replacing the shatter-prone glass with either a more shatter-resistant glass or polymer or ceramic (needs more clarification/detail), as well as the change to using aluminum for its case, which may scratch easily as a result since its anodized coating seems thin, but allows the phone to resist shattering a lot better. We should mention the drop test against the Samsung Galaxy SIII, since the iPhone didn't shatter at all compared to the major screen cracks in the SGS3. Apple emphasized the better build quality in this iPhone version in its press event/keynotes, so the differences/changes should probably be addressed in this article.

Outstanding issue - Will be considered stale after no reply in a month YuMa NuMa Contrib
I found this link and opinion from wiki editors based on this. It is basically a write up detailing the author's experience. Since Wiki isn't for sharing personal experience or anecdotes, I don't think such sources/contents should clutter up the article here. Does anyone have input, based on application of WP:RS and WP:OR ?? I also edited out duplicate references leading to commercial sites offering author's opinions. Please comment.

Outstanding issue - Will be considered stale after no reply in a month YuMa NuMa Contrib
The infobox was awfully long as another editor suggested. I moved it to a new section "specifications". Are phone pages supposed to be written with all of that in infobox or do you all find this an ok change?
Cantaloupe2 ( talk) 13:18, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
Ok then here are the proposed changes so far:
Updated. - M0rphzone ( talk) 08:18, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
Rectified - Paragraph in question was removed YuMa NuMa Contrib
I took out a substantial portion. This was based on one person's experimental result based on one product sample. It is akin to saying "I'd buy this car, because a guy I know wrecked it bad and he walked out with scratches". You wouldn't add something like that or anecdotes on safety section of a car model. Why would you write this in iPhone page? I don't think the finding is conclusive enough to be representative for the product as whole. He "threw it" rather than "dropped it" but that does not quantify the impact speed or the impact angle. The conditions are just not controlled well enough. Cantaloupe2 ( talk) 15:04, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
Cantaloupe, you removed major parts of the reception section, claiming that "dubious anecdotal claims from review sites. duplicate citations leading to commercial sites driven by ads."
Are you serious? All commercial sites are driven by ads. That is not a reason for deleting it. - M0rphzone ( talk) 04:14, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
I'm restoring it to before the pruning because we should discuss how to go about cleaning up the article or which sources are "reliable". - M0rphzone ( talk) 04:14, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
I noticed the iPhone 5 supports 5 GHz Wi-Fi, in addition to the older 2.4 GHz. I'd like to see a brief section under Hardware to list the Wi-Fi protocols or modes supported. -- Rfinchdavis ( talk) 01:56, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
Rectified - The word allegedly was removed and 9to5Mac was cited YuMa NuMa Contrib
"Apple allegedly stated it's normal."
This sentence has a problem. By adding "allegedly" into the sentence, you're flipping the bias towards the other side. It's just as bad, Cantaloupe. - M0rphzone ( talk) 06:23, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
YuMaNuMa many times deleted my content on this talk page and on Talk:IPhone 5/GA1, GoneIn60 once. Just to inform others about the aggression and tone of these users. Possibly they deleted others comments they didn't like here too. Have other users noticed that? Tagremover ( talk) 16:19, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

United Kingdom: Over 1200 ( http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2012/sep/21/iphone-5-apple-maps-queues) people lined up outside the Regent Street Apple store before the big opening. Front in line were Ryan Williams and Peter King who camped out for 7 days to use the publicity to promote Cancer Research UK Initiative 'Just Giving'( http://www.justgiving.com/iphone5cancerresearch) - their iPhone 5 was sold as a charity auction on eBay and went for £1,070.00 with 34 bids ( http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/iPhone-5-Charity-Auction-Im-first-line-London-/271059404660?pt=UK_Mobile_Phones&hash=item3f1c664774#ht_500wt_1160).
Among the front-runners at the Regent Street Apple store were Richard Wheatcroft and George Horne ( http://www.macworld.com.au/news/iphone-queue-fund-raisers-charity-begins-outside-the-apple-store-73419/). The duo were camped out in order to promote another charity, CrowdFuelledCauses ( http://crowdfuelledcauses.com/) Hope Boutique Bakery initiative aimed at helping women who were involved in trafficking, prostitution or who were abused ( http://www.macworld.com.au/news/iphone-queue-fund-raisers-charity-begins-outside-the-apple-store-73419/).
Australia: 600 people queued up outside Apple's flagship store in the Sydney CBD ( http://afr.com/p/technology/iphone_stocks_run_low_as_aussies_Q6TqOefGblo7W03iclpQHI) on George Street, the head of the line occupied by 'Aussie Todd' ( http://www.news.com.au/technology/smartphones/aussie-todd-foot-the-first-in-line-to-get-the-worlds-first-iphone5/story-fn6vihic-1226476971406) who works for MobilePhoneFinder.com.au ( http://www.mobilephonefinder.com.au), an Australian mobile phone plan comparison website who planned to giveaway the very 'First iPhone 5 in the World' ( http://www.mobilephonefinder.com.au/apple/iphone/iphone-5/the-very-first-iphone-5-is-up-for-grabs/). However, Apple have been accused of engineering the sale of the first iPhone 5 ( http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2012/09/iphone-5-launch-scandal-apple-accused-of-ignoring-queue-to-find-its-own-first-owners/) to go to two teenagers, James and Tamsyn, instead.
In Brisbane's Chermside Apple store, Apple Computers co-founder Steve Wozniak ( http://www.news.com.au/national/australia-goes-nuts-for-the-iphone-5-as-apple-founder-steve-wozniak-joins-our-queue/story-fncynjr2-1226478600390) showed up to sign autographs and get an iPhone 5 before his hometown California did.
Japan: Lines at the Tokyo Apple store stretched several blocks, despite rainy weather ( http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/long-queues-greet-apples-iphone-5-in-sydney-tokyo-270207). Some of the first people in the queue even ran live streams of the event. The Ginza district store even had some people sporting costumes for the event ( http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/iphone-5-unleashed-long-queues-greet-apple-latest-model-asia-australia-expected-frenzy-europe-u-s-article-1.1164349).
Singapore & Hong Kong: These two Asian countries used a prearranged booking system ( http://au.news.yahoo.com/world/a/-/world/14916838/apple-fans-across-asia-queue-for-iphone5/) for customers to pick up their iPhone 5 at a certain time. In Hong Kong, student Kevin Wong hoped to buy the iPhone 5 and sell it in mainland China for a profit - Hong Kong having no sales tax, coupled with a strong Yuan, meant that Wong could hope for a profit of over US$100 ( http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/iphone-5-unleashed-long-queues-greet-apple-latest-model-asia-australia-expected-frenzy-europe-u-s-article-1.1164349).
France: France's launch was met with the strike of their Apple employees ( http://www.thelocal.fr/page/view/striking-french-workers-threaten-iphone-5-launch).

Linkipedia ( talk) 02:27, 28 September 2012 (UTC) The second last paragraph should be corrected since the given reference [60] does not directly mention anything about Denmark. Furthermore, as stated here TeliaSonera has an LTE network in the Band 3, frequency 1800 MHz (supported by the iPhone 5) in the country. But all that is theoretically speaking anyways, real prove about actual support for the iPhone 5's 4G LTE on danish networks can be found on Telia's danish homepage. There's also another carrier, 3, that just rolled out a 4G LTE network in the biggest cities and will be fully compatible with the iPhone 5. Although both carries are not expecting the new iPhone to work on their LTE networks until November (with an iOS update, according to Telia).

We need to mention that Apple improved the build quality by further minimizing seams and replacing the shatter-prone glass with either a more shatter-resistant glass or polymer or ceramic (needs more clarification/detail), as well as the change to using aluminum for its case, which may scratch easily as a result since its anodized coating seems thin, but allows the phone to resist shattering a lot better. We should mention the drop test against the Samsung Galaxy SIII, since the iPhone didn't shatter at all compared to the major screen cracks in the SGS3. Apple emphasized the better build quality in this iPhone version in its press event/keynotes, so the differences/changes should probably be addressed in this article.

Outstanding issue - Will be considered stale after no reply in a month YuMa NuMa Contrib
I found this link and opinion from wiki editors based on this. It is basically a write up detailing the author's experience. Since Wiki isn't for sharing personal experience or anecdotes, I don't think such sources/contents should clutter up the article here. Does anyone have input, based on application of WP:RS and WP:OR ?? I also edited out duplicate references leading to commercial sites offering author's opinions. Please comment.

The infobox was awfully long as another editor suggested. I moved it to a new section "specifications". Are phone pages supposed to be written with all of that in infobox or do you all find this an ok change?
Cantaloupe2 ( talk) 13:18, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
Ok then here are the proposed changes so far:
Updated. - M0rphzone ( talk) 08:18, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
Rectified - Paragraph in question was removed YuMa NuMa Contrib
I took out a substantial portion. This was based on one person's experimental result based on one product sample. It is akin to saying "I'd buy this car, because a guy I know wrecked it bad and he walked out with scratches". You wouldn't add something like that or anecdotes on safety section of a car model. Why would you write this in iPhone page? I don't think the finding is conclusive enough to be representative for the product as whole. He "threw it" rather than "dropped it" but that does not quantify the impact speed or the impact angle. The conditions are just not controlled well enough. Cantaloupe2 ( talk) 15:04, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
Cantaloupe, you removed major parts of the reception section, claiming that "dubious anecdotal claims from review sites. duplicate citations leading to commercial sites driven by ads."
Are you serious? All commercial sites are driven by ads. That is not a reason for deleting it. - M0rphzone ( talk) 04:14, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
I'm restoring it to before the pruning because we should discuss how to go about cleaning up the article or which sources are "reliable". - M0rphzone ( talk) 04:14, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
I noticed the iPhone 5 supports 5 GHz Wi-Fi, in addition to the older 2.4 GHz. I'd like to see a brief section under Hardware to list the Wi-Fi protocols or modes supported. -- Rfinchdavis ( talk) 01:56, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
Rectified - The word allegedly was removed and 9to5Mac was cited YuMa NuMa Contrib
"Apple allegedly stated it's normal."
This sentence has a problem. By adding "allegedly" into the sentence, you're flipping the bias towards the other side. It's just as bad, Cantaloupe. - M0rphzone ( talk) 06:23, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
YuMaNuMa many times deleted my content on this talk page and on Talk:IPhone 5/GA1, GoneIn60 once. Just to inform others about the aggression and tone of these users. Possibly they deleted others comments they didn't like here too. Have other users noticed that? Tagremover ( talk) 16:19, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
