Too long have I suffered the indignity of using a 4S.

THIS ENDS NOW!

I will own a 5x(S?) before the leaves turn.

i like the look, size, and feel of the 4S more than the 5.  i don't think i'd notice a difference in performance w/ the exception of the 4G on the 5.

The new iPhone is the first 64-bit smartphone, which means I can finally play GoldenEye on it

Finger print scanner for security

Finger print scanner for security 

Interested to see how this works.  Was told last year by a security contractor that the reason these aren't everywhere is that they test super poorly.  Said that they work 30% of the time when a person 24-50(or so) uses them and drops below 10% above that range. 

Can you imagine 7 out of 10 times your phone doesn't work because it isn't reading your print right?

The guy told me that it was mostly due to inconsistency when presenting your print, and that is with building mounted scanners that don't move or rock in your hand when pressing your thumb.

I have to put in an 8 digit security key every time I want to use my work phone so if they allow the fingerprint deal instead I am going to be super excited.

used to have some IBM Thinkpads with fingerprint scanners, as stated, very hit and miss.

Mine is 4 digit, but it is all 9s so not that bad. Would prefer fingerprint tho.

Guys...It's time for a Blumperz shame moment.  I don't have a smart phone.  I've been in the stone age with my keyboard LG cosmos (http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-VN250-cosmos) from like 5-6 years ago.  It is time I upgrade to an iphone 5c. 

Phillies be warned: watch out for the stud wearing sunglasses at night with a hot pink iphone 5c.  Though this stallion is currently off the market, I'll take your digits "just in case."

Yet somehow Apple still can't hit that coveted Johnny Wichita market.
