What's your iPhone 5S release date prediction?

i too think the release date would be Sept 20th....bad thing for me is i am out of town from 18-22.. I am going to pre-order and have it shipped to AT&T Store and go pick it up on the 23rd....

atleast that is my plan

 

If history is any indicator, yes, it looks like the 20th will be the release date.

The only issue I have with that is the pre-order date obviously being the 13th. AT&T has given me a partial subsidy once again but as of the info I see on my account, I can't take advantage of my partial subsidy until September 15th! That blows! By the time I order my iPhone 5S on the 15th it will have been sold out for delivery on Launch day and I have to wait until I don't know when to get it.

I'm hoping AT&T changes my date before the announcement so I can pre-order on the 13th. If not, I'll call and see if I can get a bump up. Doesn't hurt to ask.

Nevertheless, I'm Excited for this new iPhone 5S!

 

@chris Yes, selling the iPhone 5 is definitely the thing to do in order to recoup costs. I do not want to pay retail at all. My husband has a full subsidy because he didn't get the iPhone 5 but he is getting the iPhone 5S. I would love to order ours together and get them on release day, but we shall see.

Also a 16GB iPhone wouldn't cut the mustard for me or my husband so I need some kind of subsidy. If they go 128GB this time around that's what we're getting so yeah, a subsidy is in order AT&T. Partial is appreciated but full would ROCK! Thanks? LOL!

I'm just excited about getting a new iPhone every year! It was like Christmas in July, now it's just like the end of the year blitz of goodies from Apple. Next up the iPad 5! YAY!

 

Not going for the 'gold'? Of course referencing the gold 128Gb model.

 

i have 2 phones eligible for upgrade right now...I will be getting 2 128G models 1 white and 1 black...

sucks that i am out of town until the 23rd.....will pick them up from store...I will pre-order them...

i hope they go with A7 Chip and 2 Gig of RAM....

 

@chris LOL @Marianne's advice. I agree! LOL! I run into trouble with photos, videos and Apps also. Right now I've gotten my space up to 7GB out of 64GB. I had 664 Apps on my iPhone. Yeah, Waaaaay out of control, but I got it down to 588. I slowly take them off. I'm going to dump a lot of them this weekend also. I want to get it down to a manageable 175 Apps. LOL! I blame Apps gone Free! Yup! They are the reason for my sharp climb in Apps on my Phone.

I have photos on my iPhone from 2008. That's bad. I have over 8,716 photos. I keep saying I'm gonig to delete them but I can't seem to part with them for one reason or another. I've got my videos down to 21, only 287 songs, that were downloaded by mistake and some purchases that are on my iPhone although they are in the cloud too. I have to figure out how to get them off the iPhone and access them from the iCloud only.

So let’s see, Apps, Pics/video and that's about it. I aim to get it together before I get the new iPhone. The new iPhone5S I get will be 128 if offered and I have to train myself not to fill it. {I'm snickering here} I'll try my best! LOL

Who says you have to "part" with them? Sync them to your computer!

So are we playing the "waiting for the UPS guy" game this year too? That was awesome. Stressful, but awesome!

 

You don't even really need to do that. Once you have downloaded them onto your account, you're always eligible to download them again. God, I feel like a piker with only 257 apps on my iP5! I vote for a September 20 release date.

Sorry, I wasn't clear... I was referring to her photo collection. But you're totally right about the apps, songs, and videos!

 

The T-Mobile employee scheduling department may be voting for a September 20th release date.

 

Hey {{{{RAFAGON}}}}! I have synced them to my computer, they are there. I am just anal when it comes to making sure they are actally there. I have synced my phone to iPhoto on my iMac and sometimes all the pictures don't transfer over. It really baffles me. Then I resync and get duplicates and i end up spending hours sifting through pics to make sure they're there. It has been a nightmare, so a lot of pics that I wasn't sure of were synced I kept on my iPhone but as I take time to look through iPhoto I have seen them on there so then I go ahead and delete them off the iPhone.

It's a long task and extremely time consuming. LOL! I have so very many more pics on iPhoto, last check was something in the neighborhood of 25,000 I'm sure it's more now.

I really hope I can play the "waiting for the UPS guy" game this year. Last year I lost and played again in the afternoon. Well, this year since it's up to AT&T I might not be able to get my iPhone 5S on launch day delivered to my house. They have me down as being able to buy my iPhone 5, which I think will change over to buying the iPhone 5S, on Setember 15 not September 13, which is the date I believe the pre-orders will be.

I figured I'd call AT&T and ask them if they can move the date for me. Meanwhile my husband can buy his anytime with full subsidy. So I do hope to be a contestant in the UPS Waiting game on Apple iPhone 5S Launch Day!

 

Thanks for the help on the App re downloading solution. I do know about that. My photos are a personal struggle for me. Nah, not really, I'm about to clean house this weekend with the pics and Apps. I'm just going to delete Photo albums I made and photos in my Photo Library I know I don't need and just get rid of apps I haven't used in eons. Basically just turn my phone upside down and shake out all the crap. It'll be fun.

LOL @ you feel like a piker with only 257 apps on your iP5! I'd kill for that number right now!

I believe the iP5S will be released on the 20th. If it's a week later with a later preorder date, I won't be angry at that!

 

My guess is the same as you guys. I am thinking the 20th as well. I think this year I will bump up from the usual 16gig that I always go with. I always stuck with that size because I don't really keep a lot of music on my phone (having 2 iPods) but I have my phone almost entirely full right now with pictures. The bump up will be nice for a change! Counting down the days.. I remember last year benny and myself were some of the only ones up all night and having issues with online orders.. hopefully this year everything goes smooooooth!
