    I realised no matter how haters say iphone is overrated it still rules the marketshare. Just like ipod back in the days. People might hate it so much but it is the only mp3 player u see 99% of time when on bus or train

            [deleted post]Then suddenly it's all about "apple controlling peoples lives?" are you like even thinking before saying what you actually said?


            Why do you even care if majority of earth's population is in favor of apple. Live your life, don't mind other people's decision and make your own.


            Some people don't like iphone because they don't know how to use it to full extent. Well, all i can say is when you buy a phone what you see is what you get. Never ask for something that was never there because your just making a fool out of yourself.


            **cheers to apple fans out there. Don't let haters ruin your entusiasm. :))

              If it wasn't for the mainstream following marketing ploys then this phone wouldn't exist. This isn't what the mainstream want, it's what they think they want!!!

              Wheres all the exciting new features that we have never seen before???? Oh wait... It's lousy old Apple.

              They havn't designed any new features for a long long time. The mainstream only want it, because the mainstream want it. They dont care about specs!!

              The true Techies know the specs though: Unreliable, Shocking, Tasteless, Boring Imitation. Apple are weak.

                [deleted post]"With other more advanced smartphones on the market, why would you choose apple unless you were a sheep following the crowd?"

                maybe, but it's not about phones itself anymore.

                I think with appstore/all the gadgets for iPhone is most advanced phone out there by far, no doubt about that, what you can do with iPhone android users or others only can dream about.

                Thats real deal when you use PHONE like you would never think to use, that's advanced! And there's plenty of samekind of things for iPhone/iPad in many category it's not only for musical stuff.

                You know smartphone real potential is inside apps when devs are going to searh possibilities of smartphone. Not in phone itself, they really arent that different ;) or much more advanced.

                there's something more...

                  It is also incorrect. Iphone is a device that caters to the needs and wants (mostly 'wants') of a specific group of people. And a surprisingly large group, too.

                  The mainstream user.

                      [deleted post]Again these sheep talks, try hard, can't you really think any reason why people might want iPhone over something else? Even if the phone itself doesn't have better paper specs.

                      It's the same reason why iPad sells and other tablets dont!

                              The most common Android user is, and more so becomes the mainstream mobile phone user, not the techy.

                              Techies are a very, very small margin of the world's population, and 'we' only represent a very small percentage of the marketplace. What 'we' do is pave the way for new tech and push the envelope by demanding it; and last I heard, techies are in every branch, segment, and phone brand. Not just Android :)

                                maybe quadcore? single core @ 2Ghz?
                                otherwise the new iphone is old news on release.."

                                Most of apple users doesn't buy paper specs, even apple doesnt show these ghz etc. on their web site, it tells everything. Apple users buy things what they can do with that extra power. Android users are into paper specs even they hardly can benefit it (dual core), apple users don't do that :)

                                All what most iPhone usrs see is that everything works fast and smooth they don't need to know what ghz is or how much memory it has. They like that everything runs smooth, everything what they buy (appstore) runs smooth etc.

                                So if iphone 5 is samekind of update than galaxy s vs galaxy s2 it's enough. They really don't need to put anything extra to table because clearly even those new specs monsters phones can't beat iPhone 4 sells and for sure iPhone 5 is going better than iPhone 4.

                                  Unfortunately I am obliged to stick to my original source from Bloomberg, I cannot reveal internal sources at T-mobile or Deutsche Telekom. I also report this here because since today this information is public through a newssite and was not reported here yet, which I find odd.

                                  No need to keep guessing, I can safely confirm this to you and everyone else - first or second week of October.
