I recently got back into vinyl after taking about 25 years off, and have built up a nice little collection so far (probably about 300 records now, give or take). I just upgraded my turntable and cartridge to a VPI Traveler with a Grado Sonata cartridge. My digital source is a Bolder-modded Logitech Squeezebox Touch feeding into the DAC of my Marantz SA-8004 SACD player. I use a Dared MC-7P with NOS tubes as my phono/pre, a Krell KAV-2250 amp, and my modded 4.1TL's, with Signal Cables all the way through the chain. My CD rips are all lossless, done with EAC in secure mode, with Accurate Rip.
I've got a friend in the office who doesn't hesitate to give me flac about my audio expenditures. But he especially gets on me about vinyl. He loves to make comments like "So do you go to the bathroom in an outhouse as well?" He's a purely digital kind of guy. I always brush him off by telling him that any time he'd like to come hear vinyl destroy cd sound, I'd be happy to demonstrate for him. Yesterday, we did just that. I live quite close to my office, so at lunch time we took a drive to my house and we did a little demo....
Before we even started, he had to make a wisecrack. I've got my turntable sitting on top of a 3.5" maple cutting board for vibration isolation. The wise-guy asked if this was an "audiophile" cutting board. Ha ha.....
First up, Fleetwood Mac Rumors. I have the original cd, the HDTracks 24-bit version, and then the 45RPM reissue vinyl. I played the cd first. We listened to Don't Stop and Songbird. It sounded very thin, totally unimpressive. The 24-bit was a huge improvement. But when the vinyl came on, my friend reluctantly admitted that there was just more to the sound of the vinyl. Reverb was more realistic. Bass was fuller with better punch. Cymbols extended to a slow fade much nicer than the digital versions. And Christie McVie's voice on Songbird... it can give you goosebumps. At this point he admitted that this one instance sounded better, but he needed more examples before he could admit defeat.
Second, we listened to Stiletto, on Billy Joel's 52nd Street. We started with the 24K gold Sony Mastersound version of the cd, and then the vintage vinyl, not the recent reissue. The cd version sounded very good, not suffering any of the thin-sound that we heard on the Fleetwood Mac cd. But when I played the vinyl, he again reluctantly admitted that the vinyl sounded better. Same as before - more full and realistic. Warmer. Deeper bass and better extension of the highs. It just sounded "richer" than the digital version.
Next up, China Cat Sunflower from the Grateful Dead Europe '72. Started out with the original cd, then the 180g vinyl reissue. Same observations about the differences. One comment that my friend made at this point was that he was hearing a lot of reverb in my system. I told him that this is because he's really hearing the reverb that's in the recording, my hi-fi isn't adding any artificial reverb. He was not convinced.
So I busted out the Foo Fighters Colour & The Shape on 180g vinyl, and we played the intro track and then Monkey Wrench. Monkey Wrench has some very tight stops and starts, so if my hi-fi was adding any reverb it would be noticeable in that track. There was nothing resembling reverb here. The music was tight, full of punch, and went from loud to black instantly, with no sound bleeding into the quiet break. He was starting to become very impressed.
Then we went in a completely opposite direction, and I put on Baby I'm A Fool, from the 180g vinyl version of Melody Gardot's My One And Only Thrill. Spectacular.
Finished up with Ah'w Baby/Everything Gonna Be Alright from the 180g vinyl version of Drinkin TNT Smokin Dynamite by Buddy Guy and Junior Wells. This album is outstanding, the sound quality is just fantastic. I was keen to play it for him because I'm seeing Buddy Guy live in a bit over a week from now. He loved it.
We finished up at that point since we had to get back to work. But he reluctantly admitted defeat, agreeing that the vinyl beat digital hands down in every comparison we did, including 24-bit. He knew the Foo Fighters track well, and it was as good as he'd ever heard it. He told me that I had definitely opened his eyes, not that he's racing off to build an audiophile hi-fi by any means.
I wish we had a bit more time, I would have done two comparisons versus SACD for him. I've got two albums on both SACD on vinyl, and I prefer the vinyl in both cases. The first is Eat A Peach by the Allman Brothers, where I've got the original gatefold Capricorn vinyl. The second is Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here, where I have the 180g vinyl reissue. The Pink Floyd is the better example, since the SACD and the vinyl reissue came out together, so presumably the source version is identical.
And that's without touching any classical music. To be honest, I've never loved listening to classical on my SDA's. I've always had a lot on cd, but always thought it sounded rather sterile on my SDA's. But then I inherited a bunch of vintage classical vinyl from my father, who was happy to give it to me since he doesn't play vinyl any more. I was blown away by how great it sounds through my SDA's compared to cd.
Plenty of people will disagree, I know that's coming, but in my little demo with my friend..... VINYL WINS!!!!!

Thread: Flashlight
As a reserve I am given the equipment that is pretty used and the stuff the full time officers don't want to use. (I completely understand why and am not saying it should be any other way).
As such the flashlight I am issued is pretty much junk and I do not feel comfortable using it all night long. So what suggestions do you have for which flashlight I should go with?
. . . or check out one of our site sponsors at:
They have over 200 choices of flashlights to pick from.
I've carried a Surefire 6R light for years - works great - good charge life (with the LED module installed) - compact and light on the belt.
My department recently issued us the Streamlight Stinger LED. I've been carrying it since we got them.
More light then the Surefire I own (love the "strobe" function), just a little bit larger, but still OK on your belt.
I keep the Surefire in the car as a backup.
Suggestion - get the best light you can afford. The really good ones aren't exactly cheap (they're in the $90-150 range - give or take a little). But how much is your life worth? Don't scrimp on your light.
I'm sure others will be along shortly with other suggestions.
.The Swamp Mafia -"Heaven doesn't want us,and Hell's afraid we'll take over!!".
I've been using one of the new 511 lights I got from baumshoe. Recharges in 90 seconds. It's great. I also use a Pelican 7060 on my belt as a back up / day use light. It also works great. I also happened to get that from baumshoe.'Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a

Disclaimer: The opinions given in my signatures DO NOT reflect the opinions, views, policies, and/or procedures of my employing agency. They are MY PERSONAL OPINIONS and I accept sole responsibility as such.
There are a few factors which will determine which light will work best for you.
1) As a reserve officer which shifts do you predominantly work? A better way to phrase that would be what hours or how many hours of darkness are you working, per day/week/etc?
2) What is your primary function as a reserve? Traffic control, assist civilians, tactical entry with SWAT team, go on routine patrol with a full-time officer...?
3) Where will you store the light while working but not using it? Are you a footpost and need it to go on your belt, will you stick it in the door of the car, etc?
4) Where and how are you going to use the light? Are you conducting traffic stops, doing traffic control, room searches, looking for a suspect hiding 100 yards away etc? On a lit city street or in the woods?
I work straight nights. My patrol area varies from urban to rural with lit and unlit streets. The majority of my flashlight use is for conducting traffic stops and SFST's on the road. I also use it during calls for service for everything ranging from a domestic (why don't people turn the lights on until I ask?) to searching for a fugitive in the woods. I've used both an "under arm" primary light for getting people's info and a "back up" light on my belt. I was using a 3D MagLite for a while, but it just wasn't bright enough for me. At some point I ended up using my Stinger XT as my only light.
One thing you'll have to decide upon is rechargeable vs batteries. The thing I like about my Stinger XT is that it's rechargeable. I have a few lights that use batteries. They're certainly bright enough for my purposes, but I go through batteries like crazy. I can be issued standard size batteries (D cell for example), but the brighter more high speed lights use the 3 volt CR123A type of batteries. With a burn time of only 2-3 hours I go through expensive batteries every few shifts. The Stinger XT doesn't have a better burn time, and the rechargeable battery will drain down if not used. I won't BS you. There were a few times when the light started to die out on me during a traffic stop. One of the cons is that the rechargeables usually start fading for a short period of time and then go out completely. I still keep at least one spare flashlight in my car for such an occassion. The pro of a non-rechargeable light (in my experience) is that they usually fade for a longer period, giving you an opportunity to change the batteries. You can bring extras with you and not need a secondary light.
If Terminator was still here he'd tell you that size matters. The Stinger XT is about 8" long and it is at about the maximum I can comfortably carry on my belt. I would have gotten something smaller, but I'm already carrying a huge brick (old school radio) on my belt. The light can stick into chairs and restrict your movement if it's too big/long. The 3D MagLite on my belt made me feel like a security guard. It was bouncing around and slamming against my leg. Not the most comfortable and definitely not something I'd keep on my belt during the day. I know a few guys with Mini MagLite's on their belts as a backup light. I think it's pointless though. It's nice and small but clearly not bright enough to serve much of a purpose. If you're working days it must be bright enough to perform in lieu of a larger light. You may still end up doing searches in large dark buildings, etc.
As far as brightness goes you can read the lights' advertisements. Sometimes it's hard to compare brightness of different lights though. They'll show specs of lumens, candlepower, etc... and you can't really compare the numbers directly against each other. If you do some research you'll see the differences between the terms. If you look at beamshots you'll see how they truely perform at different distances. My co-workers all use different lights and all of the mainstream lights I've seen marketed toward police are sufficient for IDing people at night, trying to see through window tint, etc. Some are better than others obviously.
If you're using your flashlight more intermittently I would recommend getting something with 3 volt batteries. If you use it non-stop I'd say get a rechargeable. A lot of flashlights are mid-size and can be used well for police work. You'll probably want something that can go right on your duty belt. I know that is not a real "recommendation" but hopefully it will point you in the right direction to make your own choice.
I just received a 5.11 Tactical Light For Life in the mail today. This will be my new under-arm light. It's a bit large (compareable to a 3D MagLite) so I'll just throw it in the door of the car. Due to the 90-second recharge time I hope I'll have to rely less on my belt & backup lights. In the next few days I'll try to take some pictures of size and beamshots comparing the Light For Life to other flashlights like the MagLite, Stinger and Pelican 7060."never bring paws to a gunfight" - Jenna
While you didn't give me a specific recommendation you have helped me greatly. I have a better understanding of what I need to look for and how to choose the one that will suit me best.
I use the Pelican 7060 as my all around light. I keep it in the front pocket of my duty bag on the front seat and grab it when I get out of the car. Great light and awesome customer service.
On my belt is the Streamlight Stinger LED. Zero problems in the year and a couple months since I replaced my normal run of the mill Stinger with it. Nice bright LED. Not the best for large areas (which is where the Pelican is awesome to have), but for building searches it's great.The world would be much cleaner if blind people carried brooms instead of sticks.

They've got us surrounded? Good. Now we can fire in any direction. Those bastards won't get away this time.
I am also issued a Stinger DS (Dual Switch) LED. Great light I carry mine in a Bianchi nylon open baton pouch. I had my own Stinger DS LED before we were given the issued one so I carry it in my patrol bag as a extra or to loan to another officer should they need it. I also carry my Stinger quick charger (2 hour charger) with the cigarette lighter plug. I also carry a Surefire Z2 or C3 with rechargeable batteries on my belt as well.JamesDept of the Army Civilian Police"Loyalty above all else, except Honor"Never forget those who fell on 9/11/01S&W beats 4 Aces every time
Fenix ta20. Uses CR123 or the rechargeacle version, has 3 light levels and strobe. Love it.Never forget Cst Brian King - RCMP
See Brian's ODMP page HERE
I have a bunch of flashlights. I am a flashlightOholic.
The one I carry on my duty belt is the Streamlight Poly Tac LED-DEL.
It is light, bright and inexpensive. I think I paid $39.99 for it. It uses two CR123 batteries.
I too am a flashlight geek, and have many to choose from.
On my belt I have the Night Ops Gladius. Liked the holder for quick extraction. It also is LED which is all I use on and off duty now. It has an ergonomic fit for use with a firearm. The strobe selection is great for messing with drunks
For patrol functions I also use the Pelican 7060. Extremely bright, not too big, and rechargeable.
I also mix in some of my Surefires as well.
My personal opinion is that you can never have enough flashlights. Redundancy in our business is a must because you don't want to get caught out at night without light. I am known as the "flashlight guy" in my dept. and there have been times when guys didn't have a light, or their batteries died and they came to me to borrow a light. Keep one on your belt at all times, have a patrol one, maybe keep one in your duty bag....and have extra batteries. I prefer LED over incandescant because they are generally brighter, the batteries last longer, and they are more durable if dropped.
Hope this helps

This is part of what I send out to other LEO / PO:
MLEES (Military, Law Enforcement and Emergency Services) Agency members should:
- carry at least two flashlights with them (1+1 rule);
- use rechargeable cells that use an external charger (so the flashlight is still useable while the cells charge);
- carry a spare set of fresh cells in non-metallic cell carriers (so they do not short-circuit);
- carry their charger and DC cord, or AC cord and DC converter, with them (to use while away from the office);
- carry the smallest, lightest, brightest flashlight, with the features and switch type they prefer and can afford.

Have you discussed your 'episode' with a Neurologist? So, Question for Hubby??? Did you activity Pause, say seconds, minutes, & restart. Or was it All one LOOONG Episode? 15 minute LOOONG, w/ no pause is called status epilepticus & requires Medical Assistance & ER ASAP!
After an Episode that long, yes, you would hurt for months. Hot Packs or Heat Pad does wonders along w/ 2-3 Ibupropen. And try an Epsom Salt Bath. SUPERVISED!
There are a Lot of things that can trigger seizures. Chemical odors may be listed on Phylis epilepsytalk.com site. No need to join to read article. Just type 'weird triggers' in the Search box. Her URL is in Tips &/or Resources.
Warning, some people can have 1 seizure & never have another. But, considering how long yours lasted, I would be Cautious. No Driving, No bathing. Showering Only. Preferably w/ a video/sound baby monitor. Seizures do not discriminate! They can occur minutes, days, months, yrs apart. Any Age. Your next test should be an EEG. Then a 24-72 hr Portable EEG. If seizures Do re-occur find a Specialist (Epileptologist)
Another suggestion: Have a Cam corder Handy & Charged. And Please Read our Journal Info located in Tips.
Keep us up to date. Know we care. Know Seizure Disorder Education is Vital!
HUGS Love Candi
I am in process of finding a neurologist but it looks like I'll have to go about 4 hours from home to see one.
I wonder if I have been having them longer than I thought. Before the tumor I had periods of what I thought were day dreams. One night driving 30 miles home I went into "day dream mode" and after pulling into the drive I came out of it and wondered how I got home. I remember being in the car behind the wheel but do not remember driving or landmarks. Its happened before then and after. Now that I've been researching a little it scares me to death.
Could my "day dreams" be partial seizures?
Hope you had a Great Day. Hugs Love Candi
I live in HI now, but when I was in PHX my mom was using some latex paint to paint something on the house and I had a Complex Partial sz in the garage wehre she was mixing up the paint. minutes later I had another one.
She can not use tha t ype of paint whenever I am around.
Neither can my husband, Jasyn.
When I went with my mom when I was on the mainland to her hairdreser I could smell the nails being done along with the permanent hair solution and dveloped a NASTY Migraine, which later threw me into a sz, but not in there thank God!
So I guess you can be bothered by strong smells.
I am.
Perfume is another one that does damage.
I ahve broken bones having szs weither they are partial or T/Cs. I have to have Jasyn sitting on the toilet seat while I am in the shower or my 17 year old daughter who has epilepsy herself.
No it is not thta common to have one szs after another or one long one, but I have been known to do that. I will have 3 back-to-back szs with in minutes apart and then to the ER after that. i hate going to the ER and never call the medics unless I need them.
I lost a daughter at 13 to epilepsy. She had a rare form of JME that was totally out of control and no one cold get a grip on it to stop it in anyway. JME is Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy. Starts in puberty but hers was early on-set.
My 17 yr old daughter has Full Tonic-Clonics (Grand Mals).
I have TLE in the left Temporal lobe with 3 lesions near vialt places in that lobe so surgery was not an option for me and now i have a VNS.
I am not going to run on about that. That you can google.
www.efa.org has some VERY good material about all the types of szs and syndromes associated with epilepsy. IT also talks about alternative treatments rather than surgery. like certain diets and the VNS.
I wet the bed from a little baby until I was 16. neuro now thinks I have had it all my life but never really showed that much and was never picked up on by any doctor until 2003 when I had 2 EEGs 2 weeks apart that were sleep deprived and aactivity showed up on the EEGs.
I take 3 mgs of Konopin, 600 mgs of Lamictal and 300 mgs of Vimpat (just got the dose cut in two so now I have from 600 mgs to 300 mgs.) When I fly back to the mainland a few days before my appt he will take it away and phase something else in with it called titration and then will try something else.
I wich you luck in getting everything under some control and take care. Keep talking to Candi she had a very lot of knowledge on all this.
I live on O'ahu in the Waikiki district of downtown Hoholulu.
As for Neuros: How close are you to Salt Lake City? I'm not sure, but, there should be an Epilepsy Foundation affiliate in Salt Lake that can help you w/ locating a DR. Also at the Very bottom of this page you will see some more Info in Blue. There is a Physician Directory there that may be useful in assisting you.
Hugs! Love Candi
http://www.epilepsytalk.com/ has a list of Neuros/specialists recommended by others w/ Ep. Maybe a Dr on the list in your area. Use her Search tool to learn about More Seizure triggers. Plus, chek out some of her other articles for even More Info.
I am the one that Candi was talking about. I am legally blind & have some info for you of different agencies that can help.
They should also be able to help with a player for them too. They may also be able to help with computer software. I will do some checking into downloadable programs too for you & let you know what I find. Hope that helps.
Love Candi
Keep up the great work!
Hope your 'solution' works. OK, Stress Reliever! Sit Down! Take a deep breath thru your nose. Hold 5-10 secs, Release thru Pursed Lips (it's Ok to Whistle. ) longer than inhale. Try this Several times. Walk off & go to another room when 'agitated'. This could be a side effect of your med. But, 'bugs under skin' could be a simple partial seizure. Keep track of These!
Your Neurosurgeon probably knows as Much, if not more than a Neuro. And Over the Phone is OK, too. I wish My DRS would be that accommodating. Save me some Money!
Glad to hear you are Lurking & Learning! Yes, keep writing those Questions down. Although we do have 'Questions for Doctors' in our Resources, too.
HUGS Hope you had a Great Valentine Day. Did you know St. Valentine is our Epilepsy Patron, too?

Black Table Sun Lamp- Model #: CD-026BLACK
Even during a storm you can enjoy clear, glare-free, bright "sunlight" everyday! Solarex lamps reproduce the clear, full spectrum, flicker-free light of the sun for indoor lighting that's easy on the eyes and can help improve your mood! This lamp features a special 27W bulb that provides as much light as a typical 150W incandescent bulb and lasts up to 5 times longer using less energy too! This lamp outputs a clear, bright white light that makes colors more vivid, increasing the contrast and reducing glare that can cause headaches and eye strain. Also has a flexible neck so you can position the light where you need it most. In black. Table lamp is 18-26'' tall. Extra bulbs available.

excellent quality. great price. I like to read and these lights are great for my eyes, text looks so much clearer with these lights when compaired to regular bulbs. Could not be happier with my purchase...
2/13/2011 - SW - philadelphia, PA
i am so pleased with my lamp. I am visually challenged but when I am in sunlight I do not need glasses to read. With the Sun Lamp I do not need glasses to read inside. And I do not suffer from eye strain when reading, My eyeballs are tickled. I can't wait to tell my Ophamologist.

As a reading lamp, this is the best one I have ever had. I have been using mine for about 2 1/2 years and still using the original bulb. Considering I read a few books every week, I am surprised the bulb has lasted this long.

iMore is my first web stop of the day, and the last, with plenty in between. It's my go to place for Apple news and I love all the apps and products they showcase. Thank you guys for an amazing job, and keep it up!
Apple and iMore are pretty much the best things in the history of ever!
Apple is an echelon of its own; it's the citadel of mobile technology . . . Hi.
I'll tell you a story why i am in love with apple and imore.
When I was in 9th grade I had a friend who bought an iPod Touch 3g which was the very 1st product of apple i had used and it impressed me a lot. My birthday was right around the corner and I had decided to demand for an iPod touch. So i went to my parents and i asked for it and the said a clear NO. I was very sad and decided not celebrate my birthday. Just a day before my birthday my parents gave me a surprise and bought me an ipod touch for my birthday. And since that very day I had become one of the biggest fan of apple. The whole day I used to search for different sites and i got across this site (imore). I really loved it and decided to follow this site. Every day first thing in the morning was that i open this site to see the latest stuff happening in the world of apple. Even my brother was irritated me getting addicted to your site. My brothers used to watch movies and i used to watch apple keynotes. I always used to feel apple is my own company. If it failed i used to thinki have failed and if it passed i used to feel i have passed. Today i hav and iPod touch and iPad 2 and would surely like to get an iPhone dumping my old stupid blackberry Torch which i hate like hell (And i couldn't buy an iPhone because my parents just dont buy me one as the thinkk i'll get distracted from my studies). So hope you give me one .And love your site.
I love apple because of the exquisite desing of all of their products, the way os x look's and feel when I use it. i love the old "Hi i'm a mac" ads! and i love the reliability of all of the products that they've sell
sorry for the misspelling (if there is any)
I just love apple so much!!! i want the iphone 5s! :D iMore is the best site for staying updated about apple news ;) !!!
I like things that are well executed. That's why I like Apple products and services and that's why I like the Debug Podcast.
This is the first time I'm on iMore so I don't know it yet, but I've put it pretty high on my iPhone Bookmark list (right below marco.org).
I love apple because of the great quality that they put into their devices, computers and operating systems, and I love Imore because it is by far, the best place to find Apple news on the internet.
I like turtles
Pick me please!
I love imore and Apple more than than ben and jerrys red velvet cake ice cream. And that's a whole freaking lot!
I really love Apple! How can I explain it... that's all I use at work, for personal stuff... I always LOVED the designs, how MUCH the battery on their laptops last... the quality is absolutely amazing. Also, thanks iMore for always writing so many news. I check your website on a daily basis :) - Would love to win!
Ignacio from New York :)
Can't wait for fingerprint scanner. Please pick me!!!
I love Apple because their iPhones are so well integrated with, well, basically everything. And I love iMore because they have awesome giveaways like this one!
i'm not sure which i'm checking up on more often, Apple products or iMore!! i've owned every generation of iPhone and iPad!! thanks for all the updates and keeping me informed!!
I love Apple, they make the best tech, and I love iMore because they tell me about it. I would love them both more if i had a new iPhone 5s in my hand...
imore rocks! what more i can i say?! you guys provide the most up to date information for all apple products. I been a huge fan for years and follow up on all the articles that are posted! Apple has lead the way for innovations and companies to know the true meaning of competition when it comes to phones, tablets and computers. I been to the android side earlier this year for a few months, but decided to return back to apple. Apple has it down packed when it comes to apps, product, accessibility, and of course customer service. Keep doing what you do best imore!
I love imore because of all the information I get and the website is so easy to navigate. I love the how to's those have definitely helped me out in the past. I love apple products because they give me a peace of mind, I haven't had a problem with any of my apple products.
I love Apple products because they are so simple and yet so elegant :)
And iMore, I mean, where else would I get the latest news about Apple products?
Can't wait for the iPhone 5S, going to retire my Z10. As for iMore, no other site compares.
Great info Interesting. Thanks for your work!
I love Apple because they keep me connected with relative ease. I love iMore because they keep me in the know about Apple!
I love imore because they recently made the switch from blackberry to a used iPhone 4 painless. If I knew apple made the phones this well I would have switched a long time ago.
The iPhone is the only device for me! Imore is the ONLY blog for me! Can you dig it
Sent from the iMore App
I check iMore everyday to see what is new and innovative in the Apple world. Best place to keep up on all the great Apple products
I love iMore because I love all things Mobile Nations up to and including the Apple coverage. :-). I don't love Apple so much but I certainly want to be involved in the ecosystem as a developer and, since Apple requires it, that means I need development devices! :-D
I love apple because they thought so much how the their product could be very simple and efficient to use and imore is the best place to get news and updates about apple
iMore is the best news site for the best smartphone company in the world. They both deliver excellent products to their costumers.
It's really hard to say which of the three I love (i) more: my wife, Apple, iMore (although I met Apple way before my wife ;))
What could be better than winning a new iPhone - the only piece of tech that I truly adore - from the site that consistently has the most substantive commentary and analysis?
I sure do love Apple and Imore. I migrated over from crackberry to TiPB and still check it every day.
I love Apple because they make sure to produce intuitive, elegant, extremely functionnal products at a decent price! I love iMore because you guys provide tons of information to your followers! Thank you so much!

I am definitely seeing how great iMore is for bringing great info and tutorials! I am an Apple convert- I was always a PC girl but my husband was always pro Mac. When mine would be crashing big time, he would always say...You can always switch over! I finally did a couple of years ago and I haven't looked back! I have a 27"iMac, 2 apple tv's, iPad2 and iPhone 4s but it is time to upgrade so the next thing will be the 5S or whatever they call this one. Thanks again! I hope I am chosen to get the $500!
I love Apple because they make products that just work, whether it be an iPhone or a MacBook. I love iMore because you guys bring all the latest Apple news right to my screen without me having to go around the internet finding all the info from various places.
Thank you, iMore. My source for iOS news and reviews.

Most of all, I love the contests! It shows us that you really appreciate us members!
I would love a new iPhone 5S! Who wouldn't? If awarded this AMAZING prize I would be glad to give any user reviews or share my experiences with iMore. It's the least I could do for all the hard work iMore puts in. You guys are awesome! Thanks for the daily updates, needed distractions and tips. So, pick me please!

I love iMore. They keep me up to date with all the latest Apple information, news, and rumors. I love Apple for their innovation.
Love Apple. Love iMore more.
I love iMore it's where I learn all things apple.
My favorite place to find news for my favorite company, Apple. :) Thanks guys, like you a lot better than a lot of link bait sites out there. You rock. Your articles rock, keep up the good work.
Have had every version of the iPhone since the first one..and the chance to get one for free...count me in.
Thanks to iMore and Rene Ritchie for putting together an amazing resource for us Mac & Technology Degenerates.
I love Apple for the simplicity. I tried to be an Android guy and found that rooting my phone just to get it to work close to properly wasn't the way to go. Became an Apple guy last fall with the iPhone 5, and then the iPad mini. Been in love every since! Got 2 Apple TVs and got an AirPort Extreme and Airport express. I love imore because you guys keep me in the know of everything apple! I've gotten some great app and accessory recommendations. It is a daily visit for me. This is a great opportunity and props to you guys for giving back to the readers. Good luck to whomever wins and I hope it's me :) thank you for the opportunity.
iMore is the best place around for Apple news and Apple is just the best. I have a 3GS so it's time to update with this contest! Otherwise no iOS 7 and that would be a shame! ;) gonna follow the event today hoping to get lucky in this contest! :)
Good job for all the things you share with us and all these contests! Thank you!
I love Apple because they're machines carry thee most user friendly OS out there. Even from my first Mac back in 2000. I like that Apple thinks different while perfecting at the same time. iMore is great because they are all about Apple, all the time.
I(need) more great content about Apple and this is my first stop every morning!
My iPhone 4 is on it's last leg
Apple products have changed the way i use technology!!
Simple, Apple means "Love" and iMore (amour) is Spanish for "Love". Match made in heaven.
I love Apple because it just works. I love iMore because you have the best site to get info.
Imore you are the apple of my eye!
I love Apple as there products just keep getting better. Imore is my go to site for info on what is up and coming in technology.
I LOVE APPLE THEY BROUGHT US TO A BRIGHTER & BETTER DAY!!!!! & I LOVE "iMORE" BECAUSE THEY'RE THE BEST SOURCE FOR ME TO BE UPDATED WITH ALL NEWS TO BRING US A BETTER DAY!!!
Can't wait to get my hands on iOS 7, if it's on an iPhone 5S, better still. On the other hand, if the specs on the "cheaper" iPhone are good, I would love to have a plastic phone that I didn't have to cover and protect as much. The aluminium (as Jony says) fells great, but it scuffs and bends. I already have dropped mine twice, once with no case, and now it has two dents.
As cool as iOS 7 looks, it begs the question of what developers are going to do with it. it will be interesting.
Here is to the greatest company and to the best app on the planet! iLove because simply put "iDo"

Apple definitely makes a great product! I can't wait to have hearing aids that connect directly to the phone. That can't get here soon enough. Thank you Apple for considering those of us in (hearing aid connectivity) need!
iMore is the one stop shop, for everything that rocks!
Reading imore helped my decision to jump over to iPhone. I've been hooked on both since.

like apple and imore for the give aways :)
Well i have so much love for both of you. Only an iPhone 5S would make you repay me all that love!
Need a new iPhone because I just cracked my screen :-/
Apple produces some of the most polished products, and imore is the source for all the latest information. Iphone 5s!
I love iMore for providing me with up to date and informative articles on the Apple products that I love. However, I would love Apple and iMore considerably more if I won this contest though!
iMore, thanks for the outstanding coverage leading up to today's announcement. I'm looking forward to arming my 3 kids with 5c's and hoping that Apple comes through with the goods in terms of price. Can't wait and thanks again.
Apple and the iPhone has absolutely changed my life!! Just finishing grad school, all my books, notes, homework were done with the iPhone, iPad, and Apple computers. I couldn't possibly imagine my life any simpler without Apple technology. (And not with them over-saturating the market !) I'm constantly looking for the latest and the greatest. I rely on iMore to give me the inside scoop on all Apple news!
Keep up the great work!
Apple has what other devices don't: class and elegance, and that's why I've always loved their products! And I've loved this site from the moment I started reading it. I always check for news here on my fave apple products :D
I have been one of the first 10-20 people on line on release day every year since the very first iPhone was released and plan to be again!
By the Way, please Rene, go as often as you can to Macbreak Weekly. Leo has jumped ship and we need some balance on that show.
iLove Apple and iMore so much iCant stand iT.
I love iMore because its my source for everything Apple related , even though I haven't used iOS since iOS 3 .
I truly appreciate all the hard work you guys do & all the effort you guys do to make iMore the best website/news site in everything Apple related....
From IOS to OSX Apple just makes life easier from personal to business EASIER!!! It's the way to go!
I love Apple because it's a fruit which gave with one "bite" human kind some knowledge about world and I love iMore because gave knowledge about Apple.
I could really use a new IPhone!!!!!! Pick Me, Pick Me!!
In my opinion Apple has the overall best ecosystem at the moment...and iMore is one of the best sources for news regarding this ecosystem.
Yes, Please and Thank you!
I very much enjoy reading the thoughtful articles on imore, and I love reading the opinions of many of the regulars in the forums. Apple makes an outstanding hardware and software combo, and I would be very grateful to give a new 5s a loving home ;-)
Count me in please!
So many things in life can be complicated. Taking more effort to make happen than really necessary. Apple products are some of the things in my life that work as they are supposed to with minimal effort. Love that!
iMore has become my go-to place to get Apple news. Mainly because iMore doesn't take itself too seriously and always backs up opinion with fact. Love that!
I will be missing the event at its scheduled time, so I'll be back later to see what news you guys have for me.
I switched from Blackberry to the iPhone 4S two year ago and was afraid I would miss the keyboard, but I have learned that I love the iPhone and Apple. I enjoy all the useful information I get from iMore and its seems that iMore is the best place for all information Apple. Looking forward to the new products.
Hope its not too late. But then to hope is the best thing you can do. Apple and iMore usually dont disappoint.
For Innovation I turn to Apple.
For Innovation news I turn to imore.com
Will not be able to watch the event today but will keep my iPhone posted on imore.com for all the updates!
I love using the Apple products. My iPhone 4s was the first one that I owned and I am so glad that I have had iMore to teach me everything that I needed to know to use it.
Apple makes pretty darn awesome products. (I still have and use my 20Gig dinosaur iPod (CLICKWHEEL!) I just recently joined the iPhone family with a iPhone 4 (Free is for me!)
I love iMore because they keep us in the loop with iOS/new handsets news as well as app recommendations!
The only thing I need to say it's an iPhone, designed by apple in california.
It's simply the best on the world, great, fantastic...
Hope you read my comment and choose me.
I love and respect apple for there innovation. There products make the world jealous and yet respected.
I love imore for there comprehensive and informitable articles. I can always count on imore to keep me up to date on everything apple( and more). They are my CNN.
Switched from android to iphone because of slow updates. Apple is on top of it all so much better. Imore had the best information on anything iphone which is a perfect match.

I had no money through out my entire university, due to my obsession with apple, using all my funds to by a mac and later iPhone and I have just rendered myself in the same predicament by buying an iPad.
My love is unconditional.
I am hungry, as I can't afford to eat (lol) but I'd feel a lot less so if I won!
I'm stuck with my 4S until June, 2014 thanks to Verizon's new upgrade policy so I'd love to win this. iMore is my favorite site for tips, news, and rumors!
I have gone back and forth between Android and Apple but in the end, it is always Apple. I am definitely going to be getting a 5s.
My daily feed of Apple information comes from none other than iMore.com!! And I check for daily information because I obviously love Apple! Now bring on the finger print scanner!
With Apple's intense focus on end user experience with their devices, It's no surprise that the iPhone has been the only smartphone I've ever used. It has changed the concept of what a smartphone should do and I depend on it for almost all my day-to-day activities
iMore on their part do not disappoint either. The content-rich website always keeps me engaged when I've got time to burn. Another plus for iMore is their customer relations. I had an issue some weeks back with an iPad case from P&Q. Michelle (@_Miche11e_ ) made sure it was all sorted without me doing much.
I'd really really love to win the iPhone 5s, Goodluck to the rest of you guys. Now let's see what Apple has for us in today's event, can't wait! #fan
Ive used Windows Phone, Android and everyone is trying to convert me to iOS... I would like to see if iOS7 does make me convert.. but I can only see that if I get an iPhone 5s! So are you going to convert me?!
Apple is amazing they continue to impress me and keep designing amazing products. Unfortunately I have not been blessed with the money to buy all the latest phones. I'm still using the 3GS but I'm still happy with my iPhone!!!
I enjoy reading about my favorite Apple products on iMore! I'm interested in high quality, informative articles; and you guys deliver! Thanks so much! I would love to have the new iPhone!
Apple products are amazing. Connecting the world in new and exciting ways. The designs are easy on the eyes as well!
Why do I love iMore? Because it's my number one source for my iPhone and it's on my bookmark bar too! Simple as that. I made a switch from Apple to WP but then I made another switch(back) to Apple, because I couldn't resist the awesomeness of Apple.
Apple + iMore = OVER 9000+
My wife doesn't like a lot of tech podcasts, and will sometimes ask me to turn them down or off. But when she hears Rene Richie, she will say, "Well, he's alright. You can leave him on." You guys are great! As for Apple, If it didn't exist, how many of you (us) would even be writing or interested in computer tech news at all? They truly did put the "personal" in computers and continue to generate inspiration in most of us here!

I am only 15 yet I follow every press event from apple through your website. I read your articles every day and I love apple so much. I live in Australia, so I wake up early in the mornings just for the press events. Apple is a company which I love and iMore helps me become updated about the newest technologies. And for that, I thank and love you.
I love Apple! Love using all the apple gadgets during college! I check up on imore everyday to here news about new technology!
Feel in love with Apple and the way they do stuff since my first iPod. From then on I can't buy into the whole "old specs & overpriced products" criticism - Apple is simply making premium products, that are reliable, work and stand out due to their design.
Since I'm not an iPhone or iPad user (yet!), I check various Apple related sites just to keep up to date. iMore (as well as fellow sites on Mobile Nations) is my primary source, especially for the rumours part of the news :) Keep it up, guys!
I love apple because they make products that work! I love imore because they show me how to make the products work better!
iMore is the greatest and if I won this I would be the greatest in my Wife's eyes because she loves the iPhone
I love Apple and iMore is the best Apple News source out there :) Greetings from Slovakia :D
I love apple so much that I look forward to this day more than Christmas!!!!!!!
I love Apple because it is the best company in the world that sells the best products and I love iMore because it is the very best way to get your Apple News :)
Been a fan of Apple since I bought my first Mac Plus and I love your podcasts.
This would be a great gift! Always wanted to try out an iPhone and see if it's as good as all my friends say it is.
I love Apple because they're more concerned about quality and customer care & satisfaction more than any others. They just do it right, and then they continue until they perfect it. I'm a part if the Apple Eco-system, and it just works.
And I love iMore because they're relentless in their pursuit to keep you involved in all things Apple. It's a daily reading requirement for myself.
I grew up building PC's and hated Macs. 20 years ago, you could walk into any software store and see which platform had the advantage. In 2009 I broke down and bought my first iPod because it was the only model (The Classic) that came with the storage I desired. A few months later I bought myself and my mother iPhone 3GS's, and working in cell phone sales at that time, I started exclusively offering iPhones. Up until last summer, I had the opportunity to really play with and know the different devices and my recommendation in sales always came to the simple reliability of the iPhone. Today, I have replaced my desktop, my mothers desktop, and a close friends laptop with two iMacs and a Mac Mini, and put my 90 y/o grandmother on an iPad, too!
iMore is a great source of news and their senior editor is an attractive ginger, what's not to love? Lol :)
iMore allows me to stay up to date with latest Aplle news and gadgets! My wife introduced me to Apple & the iPhone several years ago and now I rely on it everyday. In desperate need of a new iphone and this contest would be awesome!
pick me
Apple creates the best hardware. Their OSs are the best available. iMore is the best site for all things Apple info. Great articles
I love Apple because they make insanely great products. I love iMore because they provide insanely great coverage of insanely great products.
I've love Apple since my father brought home the Macintosh II SI
I love that the iOS is a stable and solid interface!
iMORE is 2nd to none in keeping me up to date in all the latest news in the mobile industry!
This keynote can't start soon enough! Lets Go!
Designed By Apple In California
I Love Apple and iMore because they are both simply the BEST at what they do. Looking forward to today's coverage.
I love how reliable I phones are. And, what better place to get Apple news than I more!!
Apple build quality is insane! They always have clean lines and use materials that don't make the phone feel like a Fisher-Price toy. If it wasn't for iMore, I would probably be using a dumb phone. So many goodies here, it's awesome!
Awesome! Hope I win!
iMore is awesome. Thanks for the contest.
I love apple because they have a unique user experience and that is what differentiate them from other companies. Apple doesn't look for quantity but for quality. They try to perfect a service/product before releasing it unlike any other company. And that is why I think Apple is the best company in the world!
iMore is the #1 site I check every day for reading new about Apple. I think the team at iMore is working very hard to cover the hottest news about apple.
I'm really excited for the new iPhone and I love iMore -- your podcast is way more fun than other weekly mac podcasts, even when you are a guest on that show. :)
I drank the Apple Koolade, I admit it! iMore is like one of my suppliers keeping my addiction going!
Me and Apple been in love for about 7 years now with iMore as our lovechild. Looking forward to our 10 year anniversary and eternity.
I love Apple mostly because of their ecosystem. And I love iMore for the news and the forums. The forums have saved my butt too many times!

I have had a long standing love affair with everything Apple for awhile now. It all started with my first MacBook Pro. Before that I had been a Windows junkie then I was introduced to Mac OS and I loved everything about it. I have an iPhone, AirPort Extreme and have had iPads and Apple TVs in the past. I dream of the new ultra thin iMac but it is still out of reach for me *sigh*. When I got my first gen iPhone I searched far and wide for information on what I could do with it. I found iMore, then TiPb, and it was actually the first podcasts I had ever listened to. Ever since 2007 I have not missed a show, been to a couple live and have gotten the audio versions. The forums are great I've met so many people, made a few friends and hopefully helped a few Jailbreakers. I still haven't met another iMoreite in person but there is still time perhaps one day.
I love Apple because of the streamlined quality of their products. I love iMore because of the detailed coverage that they provide.
Apple and iPhone have been the best thing for me since sliced bread! And imore has been the friendliest and most helpful site. Thank you for the contest.
Drool drool drool...
I love Apple. Keynote announcements are so very exciting. I love how innovative Apple is and how they put so much effort into the details of every single product they make. You can just tell that Apple products are high quality.
Thanks iMore for providing such great articles and information regarding Apple news and tips that help us all with our Apple experiences.
I do love apple from the original Mac all the up to my macbook pro retina.
I love imore for all the content they provide and how-to tips. Great site.
Telling you how much I love the iPhone to win a free one, is a much better idea than donating a kidney. Now, if you will excuse me, I have a surgery to cancel.
I'll take one please, I'm a big Apple fan and love iphone!!!
I love Apple and iMore for the same reason. You'd both rather do something meaningful and great over something popular. It turns out you're all three.
I love Apple, but with iMore - it's i-more-e!
I love Apple because of the products they make. And they seem to really care. I think they have the best commercials out there. I love imore because of the great news they bring us. imore give reasons behind their product reviews not just the standard "I am a professional, I know what is best for little people.
I love apple insanely because im using their product. Of course Imore because it keeps me updated all the time! You both are awesome!!!!
I love Apple products, no better craftsmanship in the market, inside and out. I love iMore because it keeps me busy at work, HA!
I love Apple's ability to see the world as it should be, throwing aside all regard for their competitive landscape... iMore is simply the impassioned technologist watching over their shoulder step by step.
I love iMore because it perpetuates my love for Apple.
I love apple, everything just works!! can't wait till the iphone is released!!
iLove Apple for its great devices and their awesome design and quality. And iLove iMore for its instructive articles about tech and stuff that interests me. :)
Looking to get back on the iPhone train. This would be sweet to win
I'm a huge Apple fan and have been for quite some time. They've always been one of the most unique companies I've seen. Their products are top of the line devices that positively ooze with style. iMore is the only place I go for Apple news.
I want an iPhone so much! I am going through a 9 month army training and I could use a nice device like this.
Hook me up!
Wow! Nice contest... Hope I win...
This is the best place I've found to find Apple news, and I love the guides on how to replace parts of the phone, it seems intimidating at first, but iMore's guides are really easy to follow!

I love Apple for making the best products in the world. I very often come to their defense, my pocket app, flipboard and zite apps are full of apple articles. The best articles come from iMore.com. The writing is incite full and accurate.
I love Apple because they have the best products that never let you down.

Love Apple and iMore!
Apple and iMore
Looking forward for today's event. Thank you IMore for keeping us up to date on the latest happenings with IOS7, IPhone 5s and 5c, (and other surprises that may be announced today).
After reading the users perspective over iPad in the iMore forums here, I bought an iPad and I absolutely love it. And now I'm ready to make the iPhone my daily driver with my current wp as backup. Love you iMore, WPCentral and mobile nations; you guys have helped me discover way too many great apps and tricks.
I've always loved iMore and Apple but now that I actually have an iPhone? Everything is actually better!!!

Apple products make my life easier and iMore makes me happy.
I never had an Apple product. I want to give it a try this time...
I used to hate Apple, it seemed like the most horrible company in the world! They were extremely proprietary, nothing worked with their devices except THEIR devices, THEIR software, everything. But I one day decided to purchase a Macbook Pro back in 2011. I took it home, and began to play with it, and the more i did the deeper in love I fell. A year later I was upgrading my phone to an iPhone, and now I promote Apple in every way possible. When you finally get it and understand, you begin to see Apple is Premium Quality, with customer needs and desires in mind. Apple literally changed my life. I realize that without Apple changing the game, the world would still be on the flip phone.
Now iMore is an excellent place to come and find out everything you want and or need to know about Apple. They execute the highest level of quality information, in a timely manner. iMore is excellent at providing insight to the unseen and unheard info from Apple. I thank them for always being on top of the game. iMore you help extend my LOVE for Apple, Thank You!!!
I love apple SOOO much....flames...FLAMES! On the side of my face....
Really wish I win this contest! Been looking to upgrade from my older iPhone for sometime now! Please please please let me win!
Love my iPhone 5, would probably love my 5S more!!
Why I love Apple and iMore....? Because I just do! Why shouldn't I?
I've owned every new iPhone the day it came out, stood in lines for hours, and just enjoy the beauty and simplicity of the product. I like the way Apple just shows their products in commercials and doesn't stoop to making fun of the other brands. It's just a classy company. I would just like to win something, just once in ths lifetime, from a contest like this and what better thing to win than the new iPhone 5s. Good luck to everyone who comments.
I love Apple because they make devices that last, and are not disposable. I love iMore for reliable news & rumors!
I love apple because their products are refined and of high quality.
I love imore because the coverage is honest, detailed and accurate! No link bait and no blind loyalty!

If how often I check iMore for Apple news is a measure of how much I love Apple products, I may be their biggest fan.
I love Apple because of their commitment to accessibility as a blind user I can take full advantage of their products out of the box. I love iMore as my daily source of all things Apple...and Rene simply is the best.
I enjoy all that iMore has to offer. I've followed iMore from it's beginnings and enjoy all the viewpoints (opposing or not) concerning all things apple and other tech giants. The forums are filled with useful information and tons of support which I am very grateful for.
It's my first source I go for news, opinions and all things Apple.

I love Apple as much as I love iMore!
So excited for the Apple event today! I love how iMore covers the events! So exciting. I already know I am getting the phone, so I'm excited to see what is going to be available!
I'll take one please.
EDIT: I guess it would have helped if I read the contest requirements thoroughly before commenting. I can't say I really love Apple, so I won't even start that lie. However, iMore is a different story. These guys went a long way bringing me up to speed on everything I needed to know when I purchased my iP4. In fact, the Mobile Nations community has been my go to source since I started out on crackberry with my curve and subsequent Bolds, to my iP4 and the joys of Jailbreaking, and even now that I have ventured into the realm of Google and all things Android. Thank you iMore and everyone else.
i love my phone but it's time for an update!! Today i'm gonna see the keynote listen to Bob Dylan in honor of Steve!!!!
iMore rocks and the new iPhone will hopefully be the best iPhone yet! Keep up the great coverage of the event!
As a designer I am used to the Apple Universe since the last centenary (1997). I really enjoy the design and the user experience. I love iMore as well... but not quite as long as I love the fruit company. ;-)
You guys (iMore folks) are awesome with all your free give-aways. And i do love apple and its products. The entire package of devices, services, ecosystem is really the perfect blend for everyday folks and tech addicts.
Been an apple fan forever, and imore is my source for everything iPhone and apple in general! Would love a new iPhone!
I want an iPhone 5s to replace my Galaxy Nexus since I am sick of Android not working as well as iOS on my iPad. My Nexus has constant problems with Bluetooth in the car. iOS just works. I also hate that Sprint/Samsung won't update the phone, I'm stuck on 4.2.1, there's no hope for 4.3.
I love Apple, they don't make no crapple!! I love iMore, couldn't love them more!!
But for reals, you guys rock
I dont know, 'love' is a pretty strong word, I like Apple and iMore a lot,
I love seeing Georgia's picture in the post, now that I love!

Love my iPhone! Love imore
Can't wait 2 see new iPhone 2day!!
Apple makes great products. iMore is a great site with solid information about Apple and isn't biased.
Love Apple because they always pull a trick out of their hat which moves the tech industry forward. Also they make quality products that last and make their owners happy for long. I love iMore because of they extensive coverage of anything Apple and the great amount of thinking and vision of what users can achieve with new Apple tech.
I love Apple products because they consistently work and do so in a much more intuitive way than most other products. iMore, I don't know what I would have done with myself if it wasn't for all of your posts/articles. They've carried me all the way to today. Thanks for all you guys/gals do.
I love Apple for being creative,designs sleek-looking gadgets with top-notch technology & qualities. And iMore makes me more Tech-update-geek, for its latest articles with some lil bit of funny twist sometime :) . Getting updated never been this fun! Thanks guys!
I am a big fan of apple products from the beginning and I'm use the 5S will be an amazing product to own. Using it for school and everything else. It's just good.
Best phone company on earth. Imore best articles best coverage best writers . Keep up the awesome work. I recommend you guys to all my friends who are apple fanatics just like you and I !!
Apple news is something I check every few minutes on iMore!
Apple is my favorite because of the quality products. I like iMore because of the professional and helpful staff, and the community of Apple owners that are more than ready to assist with any problem.
Apple rules baby!! iMore rules even more!!!
I love apple for two reasons. One, everything works. And works well. When I need a piece of hardware to be dependable without crashing its software, apple is where it's at. Second, the hardware is not only incredibly well built and solid, but they're pieces of art they're so beautiful.
I love imore, also for two reasons. One, I can count on them for the latest news, not just about apple, but also for anything that might affect apple. I don't have to read imore and another blog, I can depend on imore for all my news. Two, imore is also incredibly reliable for being accurate. Rarely ever do they post something they know to be fake, or if they do, they state that they find the source questionable or unreliable. So you still get the news, but know to take it with a grain of salt.
Please, please let me win!!
I love Apple because they're not Google: they're only after my money, not my identity. iMore is simply the best place to keep up with iOS news.
Apple has quality products and I have enjoyed the information that I get from iMore. Up to date and unique perspectives along with a little wit at times.
iMore: Awesome information source for all things Apple
Apple: Technological leaders and innovators... Products are second to none...
It would be awesome to win an imore contest. I've submitted to quite a few to no avail.
Anyway, I'd give the iPhone to my wife since she's still rocking the iPhone 4.
One can go on and on blah blah blah about anything in order to win a contest. Hands down the best tablet that I have used and is my daily use is the Apple iPad 2. Suits what I do on a tablet and I know the iPhone is in that league. So having an iPhone to mate with my iPad should be great. As for iMore check my browser history for the last 2 years. Nuff said. (that where I get all my tip, tricks and news about Apple products, which are a part of my daily life)
I love Apple! I love it so much cos it's super easy to use and I love iMore because the more i read it, the more i lpve it!
Looking forward to seeing what new great things Apple is coming out with. I'll peek in from time to time during the day. I don't think the boss would like me just watching all day. :)
I would love to be the proud new owner of an iPhone 5s. I really hope today is my lucky day!
I've been waiting for this for a year and a half. My iPhone 4 is starting to show its age and not hold a charge. Love the site and have followed all your news about this the way through...
I really need to get my bf off his Android! We need to be able to use iMessage! We have both grown fond of the company and iMore the last six months are having a little party this afternoon for the launch. Thanks for all the great work iMore!!!
I love Apple cause it always "just works" and imore because of their tremendous knowledge
I love iMore and apple so much!!! iMore b/c you provide amazing coverage of all things apple. and apple b/c even though the pure hardware specs aren't ever the greatest. The combo of OS and hardware meshed together with the elegance of apple design is amazing!
Apple ah day keeps the Dr away!!
I love Apple because of the great product innovations and love iMore for keeping me informed of these products. Thank you both!
iMore gives me bites and bytes of Apple. That is why I love it.
I love my iPad and would love to be able to try out an iPhone as I currently use an Android device. Even if I didn't feel the love for the device I could pass it on to my daughter who could really use an upgrade to her iPhone 4. Regardless I do love following iMore for the latest in Apple news, apps and tips!
Apple products have always been consistently top quality which is why I'll probably never buy a different phone. I love Imore cause since I found this site they offer alot more than just news visiting this site is a part of my everyday routine now. Thank you all to the imore crew for all your hard work. :).
I love Apple and joined their ecosystem a few years ago after buying my first iPad... then it started.. Iphone, IMac, Airport, Apple TV's... can't wait to see what they will finally release today.
I love iMore and I'm following your RSS feeds daily for the past few years (started then it was TIPB). I really enjoy reading your blog.. keep up the good work.
Winning an Iphone 5S would allow me to upgrade without resigning a contract!!
