iPhone 5 poised for 10 million sales debut

Apple is poised for a record iPhone 5 debut and may not be able to keep up with demand as customers lined up in Sydney, Tokyo, Paris and New York to pick up the latest model of its topselling product. Apple is poised for a record iphone5  debut and may not be able to keep up with demand as customers lined up in Sydney, Tokyo, Paris and New York to pick up the latest model of its topselling product. Global sales started at the Apple Store in Sydney’s George Street at 8 am, as about 500 people waited to buy the device.

Sales also began in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Germany, France, Canada, the US and the UK. The crowds reinforce estimates from analysts that the iPhone 5 will be the largest consumerelectronics debut in history. Apple may sell as many as 10 million iPhones during the weekend sales rush, according to Gene Munster, an analyst at Piper Jaffray Cos.

iPhone 5: First impressions

As I played around with the iPhone 5 on Wednesday, I wondered what the late Steve Jobs would have thought about the latest twist on Apple’s best-selling device.

It didn’t take long to conclude Jobs would have been delighted with the iPhone 5′s blend of beauty, utility and versatility.

Add in the more advanced technology and new features that went into this iPhone, and it’s clear Apple has come up with another product that will compel hordes of people to line up outside its stores before its September 21 release in the US, Japan, Britain, Germany, France and four other countries. The mad dash to buy the iPhone 5 will be repeated again on September 28 when it goes on sale in 22 other countries. All the models of the iPhone 5 will sell for the same prices as its predecessor, starting at $199 with a two-year data and calling plan.

An important caveat about these impressions: I was only allotted about 15 minutes with the iPhone 5 at Wednesday’s launch event, not enough time to discover if it might have some technological bugs. I am sure in the coming days other reviewers will have the opportunity to give the phone a more thorough vetting.

For many people, the iPhone is going to be a case of love at first touch. It’s incredibly light and seems to be easier to hold. That means it might not be dropped as frequently as previous iPhones, reducing the chances of the glass on the display screen getting damaged.

One woman who also was testing out an iPhone 5 couldn’t stop raving about how ideal the new design was for people with smaller hands. “All the other iPhones were made with men in mind because they could easily slip from your grasp if you didn’t have big hands,” she said. “Now we finally have an iPhone for women.”

The new iPhone also is easy on the eyes, thanks to a larger screen and its “Retina Display,” the high-definition technology that Apple introduced in previous models. Video and photos look even more lush on the iPhone 5′s bigger and better screen.

Qaeda moving from AfPak to West Asia: UK spy chief

Though they still retain safe havens in Pakistan and Afghanistan, jihadists are now heading to the Middle East to seek terrorist training as parts of the Arab world have “once more become a permissive environment for al Qaeda”, British intelligence chief has warned. Terming this a “new

and worrying development” that “could get worse as events unfold,” MI5’s Director General Jonathan Evans said in a rare public speech here as his agency braces for an array of threats ahead of next month’s summer Olympics.

 

The MI chief said Iran was another source of potential concern, as the west and Israel put pressure on Tehran to abandon any nuclear weapon ambitions it may secretly harbour, The Guardian reported.

He said there had been a series of attempted plots against Israeli interests in India and Azerbaijan, as well as a plan by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to attack the Saudi ambassador in the US.

Instability in the Arab region had created “a permissive environment for al-Qaeda”, Evans said adding that there was evidence that Britain’s “would be jihadis” were travelling in search of training and opportunities for terror activity.

Al Qaeda, he said, was shifting away from Pakistan and Afghanistan towards Yemen, Somalia and the Sahel, the MI chief said. “We appear to be moving from a period of deep and focused threat to one where the threat is less monolithic but wider,” he added.

Though Evans did not say how many people from the UK had gone to the region, it is believed the agency has monitored more than 100 who have attempted to link up with extremists in countries such as Yemen, Egypt, Syria and Libya.

Evans said one byproduct of the Arab spring was giving al-Qaeda a chance to re-emerge in the countries where the network first won popular support.

In the long-term, more democracy should “ease some of the pressures that have spawned extremism in the region”, he said, but in the short-term, with the Arab world in radical transition, this “more immediate problem has emerged”.

“This is the completion of a cycle,” said Evans. “Al Qaeda first moved to Afghanistan in the 1990s due to pressure in their Arab countries of origin. They moved on to Pakistan after the fall of the Taliban. And now some are heading home to the Arab world again. And a small number of British would-be jihadis are also making their way to Arab countries to seek training and opportunities for militant activity.”
