    Not a chance. First off for Apple being an arse second for extorted cost.

    I've a 4S, so really don't see the need until a 5S comes out. I'm not really missing out on any features other than a row of icons. TheRegister got it right with iOS6 though, more like iOS 5.5.

    I've got a 3GS and and HD7, and I'm considering jumping both ships and going back to Android maybe the S4 in Jan. No doubt this is a great phone, but not so great that it's got my wallet itching to drop 530 quid on one

    It's not revolutionary enough for me, I think Apple could take on more risk here...

    Nope, me neither. I have my trusty old (nearly 2 years now) HTC Trophy (windows 7.5 phone). I am thinking of upping to a windows 8 phone of some sort when I renew my contract.

    Not on your nelly. If I was offered one free I would sell it to one of the cretinous iSheep, or just see if it will blend for fun.

    Their products hold absolutely NO attraction to me whatsoever.

    Why would anyone on a tech site want an iPhone?

    Went to Covent Garden store today , nipping out from work. Store opened at 8. I went at 11.
    Queues were mahoosive! About 200 ppl!
    And, when I reached the end of the line, the Apple guy told me we arent letting anyone else queue up for today.

    I went just to sell off on eBay and make a tasty profit
