Go to your local Apple store and try one. Hold it's sheer beauty. As the GSM Arena review said, "The black one looks magnificent".

apple wont make cheap phones , i agree with that , but what exactly does the people see in the iphone5? it scratches easily, u even get it scratched, and now its body bends ... so what if its 4 inches, and the biggest thing that ever happened to iphone or apple whatever they said, sounds more like the biggest problem and the price does not seem like your paying for what u want, this iphone5 should be cheap, my iphone 4s is better

Fine. You like small screens. We have no care if you like something that needs another device to transfer media, has only mono audio recording for HD viideo, can't change to fresh batteries, and has Safari as a default browser for any link click.
We just don't get on how iUsers keep bragging about a REGRESSED innovative and limited ecosystem. Thank goodness we other users have other choices.

Thats why i believe there should be a size gauge for the various sized phones.
Put ip5 aside for a while.. we can already see ppl screaming at a low spec'ed sgs2 plus vs note 2 or sony's z phone.. Its not a proper comparison!

There's an easier auto win for Apple. Here's a free advice from an Android user:-
~Better and bigger capacity batt.
Yup...That's all and that's it. No need for a cheaper model and most definitely minimal R&D to further add like what mere millimeters to the current iPhone 5 chassis.
Not to mention when it comes the time to move up from the A6X SoC to an A7 w/ PowerVR 6 series GPU, better power efficiencies or not excuses will run out.
This laughable thin and light arrogant ethos gets in the way of meaningful value addition; case in this point something that a typical power iPhone user would really really appreciate, a better batt life.

The trend before was to make smaller screens since we hardly used mobile networks for smartphones. We hve increased screens now yet you still can put it in your shirt pockets, like the Note.
iPhone users were defending how convenient their 3.5" screens, and how their single core processor and 512mb RAM were able to be enough. Well, how about now? Apple has abandoned support to the 2nd gen iPod Touch where you can't even installed your paid apps because the hardware can't handle the updated software!

If you compare size of ip5 to any similar sized device.. you actually can see its specs is very good.
In the laptop realm.. you see people comparing 13 inchers with 15 inchers in terms of specs ?? You get laugh at.

don't know who rumored this kind of silly news.
Why would apple make a cheap iPhone with low specs while with the launch of new iPhone, last year iPhone automatically become low spec and cheap and every and one can buy that at low price even apple also sold his last year iPhone at low price.

Carol, 11 Jan 2013Note is not a phone. Note is a toy for kids... And for some... moreLet's see what you said:
"Note is not a phone." - the Note (I have one for 14 months now) connects to 3G, has microphones, has speakers and you can talk to someone using it exactly with like whatever you deem as a "phone".
"Note is a toy for kids... And for some, is a tablet with some low quality phone functions." - Let's see, it further has VOIP functions, a Wacom stylus system to really take advantage of the Sketchbook app to create art, has more pixel count, has a Super HD AMOLED screen - better to see things with, can record in full HD with full stereo audio recording, iP5 only records mono, the Note can now do slit-screen REAL multi-tasking functions, and everything else a standard modern smartphone has - GPS, bluetooth & wifi file transfers (iP5 can't do this), memory card expansion (iP5 can't do this), the most powerful xenon flash, and best of all - removable battery.
"I really appreciate Apple didn't go nuts with useless stuff and they are keeping it real." - Yeah, because that's what the current limited & restrictive iOS needs.
"Even though i don't like Ios quite at all, also i don't like apple's way of marketing." - So, you only like the iPhone's hardware?
"Typical American" - I think Americans have more sense than this.

As for the iPhone... Do i sound like a crrapple guy to you? Read one more time what i've said. Maybe you'll figure it out!So, as i was saying: note is not a phone!!! Is a big screen crapp! From the point of a technician view. And i don't think i'm alone in this;). But, you people can buy it, who cares?.
