iPhone 5

If you're anything like us, then you've grown seriously tired of all the buzz and relentless hype surrounding the launch of the iPhone 5. And you'll probably laugh as hard as we did at this video of people in Amsterdam vainly trying to pick up an iPhone that's been glued to the ground.

People sure do love their iPhones, but they also can't seem to stop dropping them—good news for the booming iPhone-repair business. In fact, a recent accident survey by SquareTrade found that the American population has spent nearly $5.9 billion fixing their damaged phones since the first device hit the market in 2007.

Here goes the start to another season of iPhone chaos. The iPhone 5 will begin shipping next Friday, September 21, and with it will be millions of people crazy about the new device.

An unplugged version of the Foo Fighters hit the stage of San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts yesterday afternoon (Sept. 12) to close out Apple's iPhone 5 launch event, during which the computer company unveiled the latest version of its popular smartphone.

So Apple is releasing a new iPhone (again). It's thinner, lighter, bigger and faster. It comes with headphones that might actually fit your ears. It fits in your hand. It also possesses the ability to explode the Twitterverse. Here's what people are saying.

In a replay from an incident last year, another Apple employee lost another iPhone prototype in yet another Bay Area bar. If this keeps up, they’re going to start surgically implanting new phones into developers’ arms.
