    The next generation iPhone 5, which Apple Inc. plans to release this week, could not only boost the tech giant’s bottom line — but could give a significant boost to the overall U.S. economy.
    Sales of the new iPhone could add between a quarter and a half percentage point to fourth quarter annualized growth in the U.S., according to J.P. Morgan’s chief economist, Michael Feroli in a note to clients on Monday.
    Such an impact would be significant.
    “Calculated using the so-called retail control method, sales of iPhone 5 could boost annualized GDP growth by $3.2 billion, or $12.8 billion at an annual rate,” Feroli wrote. That 0.33 percentage-point boost, he added, “would limit the downside risk to our Q4 GDP growth protection, which remains 2.0 percent.”

    Apple and the iPhone saving the US Economy. iPhones stay winning.

    Apple should have pull a power move and loan the government some money and be the new JP Morgan

    Apple could become the new government if it wanted. Buy an iPhone and save the United States.

    Sgs 3 ? on anything Iphone will come out with.

    Finger print to lock......wack

    Just now getting LTE......lame

    Just now getting bigger screen......lame

    Fingerprint to unlock.......gimmick

    Unremovable battery......lame

    The iPhone will never have something so idiotic as this...slap yourself. LMFAO @ removable battery...dudes running around like "REMOVABLE BATTERY FTMFW!! ? !! HAX0RS RULZ! LULZ AT THE IPHONE FOR NOT HAZING that!!"

    Tho I like the idea of the no removable battery what happens when your phone stop keeping charge???

    Phone stops keeping a charge?? I have the ORIGINAL iPhone the 2007 model kicking around somewhere that still holds a charge. Removable battery? The reality is the SG3 has a 2100mAh battery...95% of its users will never need a "replacement battery". These things hold 20+ hours of stand by time, we have chargers EVERYWHERE, cars, computers, etc. A replacement battery is outdated and shows a regression. Samsung should have just gone the route of HTC, Motorola, Nokia is going and ditching these ridiculous redundant features just so they can win some spec sheet fight with Apple.

    Microsoft and Nokia really have done a great job with truly being innovative when it comes to a touchscreen OS. Their Windows Phone8 is a fantastic OS (though they did have to licence patents from Apple) that LOOKS nothing like iOS and takes a very different approach. The Lumina 920 is a BEAST as well. Very good looking phone.

    ? I had to replace my first iPhone because the battery stop keeping charge. I understand you like apple but JAH!!

    So ? what?? Stop acting like your personal anecdotal evidence means a got damn thing. Just because some ? happened to YOU doesnt mean its systematic for everybody with an iPhone.

    First the iPhone battery don't loose charge, when i said it happened to me then it's so what.....You sounding like a real lame right now....

    Oh so because you "SAID" it loses a charge that automatically means ALL iPhones lose charges? GTFOH you lying ass ? . Any ? can come on here and claim all kinds of ? ...doesnt make it true.

    BWAHAHAHHAH @ customizing and tweaking your phone preferences. You right ? iPhone users dont have time to swap in the latest Yu-gi-hoe theme on their phones.

    SMH I've heard everything now..."customize and tweaks". You nerds will never get it.

    one thing i've noticed about people who like iphones...it was their first real "smartphone"...they came straight from flip phones to iphones...so they like the relative ease of operating it...

    Wrong again, I've had numerous BBs, had Palm Treo and a Sony P900i before the iPhone. Those phones were jokes in comparison to the iPhone.
    but its funny that every court outside the US basically told apple ? you and your patents but the court in california said that apple should be compensated...home field advantage?

    Yeah this isnt true at all....

    Has no way to beat Samsung? All Apple does is beat Samsung....in every single way. iPhone's sales will crush whatever Galaxy S14 or whatever is out. iPad dominates the tablet market, iPod owns the MP3 market, the Mac line outsells whatever Samsung computers are out...so again in what way does Samsung beat Apple??

    ? outta here...

    http://allthingsd.com/20120806/iphone-caused-crisis-of-design-at-samsung-memo/

    At the end of Monday in week two of the Apple versus Samsung case, a damning internal Samsung email was admitted into evidence — an email containing charged language from JK Shin, Samsung’s head of mobile communications. In the email, Shin described the difference in user experience between Samsung and Apple smartphones as “a difference between Heaven and Earth.”

    Here’s Shin again, on what Samsung could do to catch up from behind:
    “I hear things like this: Let’s make something like the iPhone.”
    And again:
    “When everybody (both consumers and the industry) talk about UX, they weigh it against the iPhone. The iPhone has become the standard. That’s how things are already.”
    And yet again:
    “Do you know how difficult the Omnia is to use? When you compare the 2007 version of the iPhone with our current Omnia, can you honestly say the Omnia is better? If you compare the UX with the iPhone, it’s a difference between Heaven and Earth.”

    It’s not pretty. Samsung declined my request for comment.


    Samsung's are nothing but bootleg iPhones...you have no ? clue what "snake ? " is.

    Samsung been providing apple with all their hardware for years dunny. Samsung just needs better software teams to edge out Apple and then they will fall behind. That's why they got hit with that lame copyright fee, their OS is lacking. As far as hardware though Samsung is on the come up near the top and if Apple does not succeed in trying to squash them, which as we can see now they are desperate as ? to do it because they keep trying to do it, then Apple will be playing catch up to Samsung.

    I hope it happens cause Korea deserves this. They've made some crazy progress and it has been paying off. Word to coming up from nothing and not relying on a Bill Gates hand out to stay afloat.

    Yeah and? Samsung used to make more manufacturing Apple parts than they were with their own damn phones. Samsung was just the manufacturer they didnt design ? . Thats why they had to get cross patents and licenses from Apple for their hardware as well. As far as hardware...the Retina Display is JUST NOW being beaten in ppi, the A4 and A5s were boding all the dual core intel chips when the iPhone4 came out. All everybody every heard was "Oh yeah just wait till the Tegra3s come out"....whose playing catch up then??

    Its says a lot about you fandroids if your whole ? argument is

    1) Our brand new phone is better than the one you released a year ago

    2) Our phone is better because its bigger and faster....no ? its a year later...it better be.

    1. Take Apple's ? out of your mouth - i have an iphone and never owned an android.
    2. Spec wise Samsung is more capable as far as hardware goes.
    3. If Samsung isn't such a threat why are they fighting so valiantly to get rid of them?


    Samsung is gunning for top spot

    With the big event only a few hours away Apple has already taken its shop offline. It's become standard practice for the Cupertino crew, so it's hardly a surprise. Still, it's a good sign that some new products will be available, at least for pre-order, starting today. Interestingly, the store isn't the only Apple property out of commission currently -- reports have been trickling in since yesterday that iCloud is out for some customers as well. The down time could just be a bug that needs fixing, but perhaps iCloud will also get some significant updates this morning to accompany the launch of the iPhone 5 and iOS 6.
