As always, details are sparse...

my iphone is due upgrade sept so nice timing for me! cant wait to see what the iwatch will be although looking more like a health accessory than phone at the mo.

iphone 6 specs look boring but might as well upgrade. all i want is a long lasting battery is it so hard

by "wish we could say more" i reckon the iwatch will be heavily reliant on siri

[djdestiny]

Mine has fallen perfectly too, I'm due an upgrade in November.
Hopefully by then the mad rush will of died down a bit and they've have some in stock!

Had my ancient iphone 4 for nearly 4 years now , maybe time to upgrade

The event is being held at the place where the original Mac was announced too. Much larger seating capacity than their campus at Cupertino or anywhere they normally use for the WWDC.

I'm looking forward to it..

They normally announce 1 week before, maybe they're just giving us a little more 'time' ?

What do you know that nobody else outside of apple does?

There are no specs.... only rumours and conjecture. I've heard everything from 8mp camera to 13mp sony lens, and the rest of the rumours are similaly wide. Infact they remind me of the sniff petrol "new supercar" spec sheet

tbh theres not a lot they could do to excite me bar a transparent or curvy one - difference of 8mp to 50mp to me is meh, they have a non scratch screen whoopiedo and tbf most of its parts have appeared on macrumours etc so it fairly certain what its gonna be. its the iwatch ( or whatever its called ) where theres room to excite.

All I hope for is a bit bigger screen (but not too stupid, I don't want to feel like I've got a TV in my pocket!) and better battery life

dont get this bigger screen thing like it as it is for my pockets! but oh for a decent battery..

[djdestiny]

Don't get me wrong, the 5 isn't a bad size and I do get on fine with it.
I'd say on the home screen, 1 icon wider and taller wouldn't do any harm.
I'm certainly not after the sort of thing that looks like an iPad!
Some of the sizes of phone I see people using at work are simply ridiculous, I don't know how they even fit in your pocket
