Regarding my daughter she has now got the 16Gb 4s on a £29.00 per month contract for 24 months giving her 600min talk 5000 text and unlimeted data. the phone cost just £29.00 none of the companies offered any student discount saying the prices were cut to the bone
Edit just a little fact. Apple sold more new iPads since its release than any PC manufacturer sold of their entire product range...! |
Still no reservations for collection in store - just SIM free unlocked pre-orders for delivery.
I think Apple did do reservations for collection with the 4S, but not at launch (unlike the 4).
The networks are all doing pre-orders... Even, surprisingly, O2! Last year O2 only sold it to existing customers at launch, with no new customers, no pre-orders, and no online orders. This time, O2 is actually selling it to new and existing customers, and doing online pre-orders.
I do wonder, though, how many current and potential customers will abandon O2 for Orange / T-Mobile due to the 4G situation...

Unless your mate works for Apple, has been told that by Apple, or has taken one apart himself, then that it *still* just speculation.
No one knows for sure, and Apple has said nothing.
As I said before, given that Apple claims the Apple A6 is "2x faster" etc. than the Apple A5 used in the iPhone 4S and iPad 2, it would suggest it has moved to quad-core. The A5X used in the iPad 3 already has a quad-core GPU. Adding a quad-core CPU and calling it the A6 would be a logical step. However... AnandTech claim the A6 is still using a dual-core CPU, but that it is the next gen ARM Cortex-A15 rather than the Cortex-A9. If true, then it's still a jump, even though it would be "still dual core".
As Apple generally doesn't care to give away much info on specs, we won't know until someone takes it apart and investigates.
The benchmarks will also be interesting, once it's out.
