Will You Be Upgrading to the New iPhone 5?

Apple is getting ready to release the next generation of iPhone. Will you be upgrading?

It is almost time for Apple to release the newest version of its iPhone. The iPhone 5 is set for release in the coming weeks. According to Huffington Post sources, the phone could be in stores Sept. 21.

Apple is set to hold an unveiling today, Sept. 12, the Huffington Post reports.

Sources tell the Huffington Post that employees in local AT&T and Verizon stores are being denied vacation requests for late September in anticipation of large crowds seeking the new iPhone. Apple is reportedly expecting sales of almost $10 million, and that's just in the first week.

So will you be one of those waiting in long lines for the next generation of the iPhone? Tell us in comments.

Nope...I have a nice Android Smartphone. It was 4g way before any Iphone. Even though it was released last winter, it has since received the latest operating system (Ice Cream Sandwich) and will soon be upgraded to Jellybean 4.1.
I can understand upgrading from 3g to 4g...but upgrading every few years is a joke. (Iphone 4s was out when...last October?) Apple plans on selling 10 million? Wow..in this economy? Guess everyone is not as broke as the news tells us.

I think some folks upgrade phones instead of paying their other bills, just to say they have the latest. I'll keep the refurbed iPhone4 I have until it doesn't work anymore.

Time to upgrade my iPhone4 anyway. Its about worn out after two years and doesn't work as well as it used to. It was my first iPhone (I used Blackberry before) and I didn't expect to love it as much as I do. So, yes, I most likely will be upgrading to the new 5.

My first iPhone was the 4s and, according to the Huffington Post, there are only seven things the 5 has that the 4s doesn't. I looked through the slide show and I'm not interested in upgrading.

Have you called the local vet clinics to see if they know her or maybe they will scan her for aRead More microchip? and, if you have not already, let animal control know you have her in case her family calls them looking for her. I posted on FB! Good Luck!
