apple Iphones is still the best, they dont lie on paper specs. They give you 1ghz dual core processor in iPhone 4S then you feel its smoothness, no laggy interface. Unlike Most android phones, great liar on Specs. Give you 1.5ghz quad-core processor but still gives you a lag. Retina Display doesnt lie, though it has lesser brightness the graphics is crispier and no pixels at all. Unlike androids w/ amoled, trick you w/ massive brightness but still pixelated.

    [deleted post]I inspect the specs.. I am an Apple user.

    If im not mistaken.. it smashed the SGS3 on nearly every benchmark.. doubling it on SunSpider.. and beating it on most others.. iT has plenty of ram, and apparently offers a Frame Per Second rate that no phone can match..

    It also has LTE, which blazes through the web, and my battery lasts for ever.. its not perfect and all the anbitches whine about chips and dings and scratches they dont have.. mine is good. Im happy. And I did my research first.

    Any problems, just take it back. Same with Samsung right?

    Or does that use older A9 technology, since we are doing research.

          The iPhone 5 is a real disaster, I already own an iPhone 4s and the construction quality is not comparable, the 4s wins in every aspect, I saved more than $1000 on a separate bank acc just to buy the iphone 5 but I won't and I'll wait till a fixed version is out, I know that it might take a whole year for apple to develop a new one, shame on those who already bought the iphone 5 and are not satisfied, they should be refunded until apple fix everything, but knowing apple they won't do it as will loose hundred millions of dollars

            "Quality" Gate now? Typical Apple noise marketing and reverse pyschology...
            Place holder for lame execuse for lower than expected sales. Much better than saying that the consumer demands are significantly lower than expected...

              Hello Apple !! SGS III(mini) is coming with 4 inch, so your iphone5 4inch is a mini(lower level)too. you are claiming expensive price for cheap product. If you want more money make better Quality!

                      iSJ5, 10 Oct 2012plastic is bad for heath dude! how many plastic toy refuse ... moreThat is really funny. Plastic is bad for health... How many toys got banned? Do you actually mean that? Toys for children made of a certain type of plastic, I repeat, a certain type of plastic, not plastic as a whole and for childs toys, because they tend to put things into their mouths and swallow it, but not because it is near them. If you want to play that game, look into the periodic table of elements and you will see, that there are almost only metals, which have radioaktivity in them, which is by far unhealthier.

                            What. The. F*ck? You do realise that the real world is governed by the laws of physics? I'm surprised you can operate a smartphone. Even a Fisher Price one like the iPhone.

                              Jabba, 10 Oct 2012How about the Galaxy Note II drop test instead? Still uses ... morenote2 obviously has better construction than the s3.so meaning its more intact but,, it alwys fall apart into 3 pcs :).. thats sad.. whether its plastic or metal,,it really depends on the construction itself.. and im not considering note2 as one of the cpmpetitor of iphone coz its not a normal size of a smartphone..too big to be a phone and too small to be tablet..just sayin buddy.. my personal choice.. :)

                                    Only then their total production cost will be half of what they sell it for.

And still, sgs3 has a bigger screen, made of the same gorilla glass and what broke was the glass, nothing else, the casing itself did not really scratch, just a bit. What I wanna say is, that if you would put a 4,8" screen in the iphone5, it wouldnt look so good. If the SGS3 had a small display, like SGS1 or iphone5 now, it wouldnt be the same. I do not try to bash anything here, I just want people to understand that it is not the plastics fault, if the glass on the sgs3 broke before the iphone 5.
