The iPhone 5S Hasn't Been Officially Announced, Already Has Line

Daniel_Stuckey writes "The iPhone 5S line has already begun, despite Apple not even having made its announcement yet. From the looks of the invite to the unveiling in San Francisco on Sept. 10 (and another event the following day in Beijing, where iPhones are all the rage), the company will not only be announcing a next generation iPhone, the 5S, but also the lower-priced 5C model, in a variety of cheaper-looking colors."

    Sure it is. All you can win on line at Apple is an iPhone. And by "win" I mean pay the same amount as anybody else.

    Actually, per TFA the first two people in line have been "bought out" by a third-party Apple reseller, and now sport the company's logo on their shirts, and, in exchange, will now have their phones (plural, two each) paid for by the company.

    So... yeah, they won the advertising game and now get their phones for free.

    Funny, how their were no mic issues before, when it was a third party app.

    Not to mention that some jail-breakers were able to figure out exactly how Siri was disabled on the iPhone 4 and re-enable it and - surprise surprise, Siri works just fine on the 3GS and 4.
