    hey guys ,
    Seeing flamewars about samsung and apple makes me laugh....
    anyways,apple has created some good phones (i was a fanboy a while back).but when i realized that iphones were a bit too overpriced i was turned off.but then again,it depends on where you're comfortable
    Disappointed with the phone. Besides why do we have to jailbreak the phone every time apple decides not to include
    the feature why don't they just include all the main functions required into the phone like all other companies do. I feel for the 4s apple started to lose its way.
    A user needs some changes in the phone from the interface to the way the apps look to the phone shape etc etc which apple has not done.
    The IPhone has become extremely boring......
    Thank god for other competitors that are feeding that market and providing the consumers with what they want like Samsung
    the differences between the 4s and the 5.
    Firstly, it's the 4-inch screen, 0.5 inches bigger than te 4s. Then it's the quad-core 1.2 Ghz processor, witch is way better compared to the dual core 1 Ghzn on it's prOecessor. It has 4g and the camera must be really good at 8 Mpx.Simultaneous HD video and image recording, touch focus, geo-tagging, face detection, panorama, HDR
    Secondary- Yes, 1.2 MP, 720p@30fps,
    Maybe it's not a huge difference but neither is the one between samsung Gs2 and Gs3. My personal opinion is that -and i'm not an Apple fan- the Iphone 5 CAN BE one of the best 4 phones on the market, competing with the big 3 available today- Samsung Gs3, Htc One X and Lg Optimus 4x
    BUT IM STILL AN ANDROID (HTC) FAN...

      [deleted post]Standard Response from an Iphone 5 fan...They resort to "low blows and name calling"
      This is what happens when they can no longer defend their lies...yet they still cannot admit that Tim Cook's Apple failed with the Iphone 5

      Sir, I could report you for your offensive comments, but I'm not going to...that's because I understand how hard it must feel for you to "settle" for an extra row of icons.

      Hahaha Don't mind me sir...why don't you discuss your iphone 5 stuff? No one is stopping you?

      Respect other people's opinions and questions...
      You love Iphone 5 with the copied panorama and LTE...

      I Love iphone 4s...Steve Job's greatest creation!
      Respect that Sir, Thanks :D

        [deleted post]Is that what you call redesigned from ground up? Same old boring rows of static icons, same old rectangular brick with rounded corners, same old dual core that was copied from the Droids, no customizations, boring homescreens, same old restricted ecosystem.

          Not buying iphone5 anymore its worst fone ever going for Blacberry torch 9810.

          Iphone 5 does not have


          No NFC
          No Radio (non data)
          No Real Multi-Tasking (2 or 3 major apps running at the same time)
          No SD Card Slot
          No Burstshot (Camera feature)
          No Best Photo (Camera feature)
          No Concurrent Voice and data LTE support
          No water, dust, and scratch free exterior
          No Customizations
          No HD Screen
          No 3D Screen

          (apple fan says)
          other flagships already have it...but I don't care...iphone 5 has a 5th row of icons! lol

          I say: My iphone 4s is still the best...iphone 5 is so disappointing! :(

            [deleted post]Oh, dear it seems you are now the one whose repetitive...hahaha tsk tsk! might get yourself banned that way sir...

            And it seems you don't know the meaning of "projections" Steve Jobs may have left projections... (there is no proof of that he did, just humoring you)
            But "projections" can be changed the very next day to suit the company's profits. Tim Cook is CEO of Apple now not you...He was the one who made iphone 5 not you...what do you know about it? Are you the CEO?

            "projections" can be changed but the fact that iphone 5 is a failure can be plainly seen...
            Design 6.5
            Features 6.5
            Performance 6.6
            As of 10:25 pm est
            Beloved Steve Jobs! I love your iphone 4s!

                Another standard response of an iphone 5 fan...this time he resorts to "treats and insults"
                Be careful sir, you might get banned haha we are just posting opinions and questions here...I have one for you, a question no iphone 5 fans has been able to answer yet...

                Answer this if TIM COOK's Apple is so advanced...how come the iphone 5 has:
                No NFC
                No Radio (non data)
                No Real Multi-Tasking (2 or 3 major apps running at the same time)
                No SD Card Slot
                No Concurrent Voice and data LTE support
                No water, dust, and scratch free exterior
                No Customizations
                No HD Screen
                No 3D Screen
                No Wireless Charging

                Pls. don't change the topic...

                Iphone 4s is the best from Steve Jobs Apple
                Iphone 5 = Lackluster

                  Word coming in suggests benchmarks prove Iphone5 beats quadcore SGS3..These are preliminary results not yet fully confirmes..Altho only dual core the 1066MHz RAM in Iphone 5 is blisteringly fast.

                    iFujiko is right!

                    Here is proof that even Nokia is better than iPhone5..

                    http://blog.gsmarena.com/apple-against-the-world-iphone-5-vs-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-vs-nokia-lumia-920/

                    Worst specs of the bunch! NOT even HD and the front camera is what? 720p?? And this is what they call an upgrade? And no NFC?

                    LG 4x is way better than this.. I can even buy SG3 and LG 4x for the price of one iPhone5. That sucks! Deserves its 6.5 rating..

                          is it like apple is scared to try something new? thats why they keep on failing to make something really attractive and worthy to buy. best thing i can suggest apple to realease many phones at once.

                                  Lol this iFujiko is now a proven troll, so best to just report each of his comments, GSMArena will still decide and after a while will see that he is spamming and delete. He will get tired eventually, same thing happened last year. These guys are simply attention seekers to be ignored.
