                  Anonymous, 13 Sep 2012typical Samsung fanboy! if you say iPhone 5 is slow, the... moreI'm kind of sick of people talking about 1ghz+ processors on their phones being slow. Any dual core or more core processor on the mobile prhone is fast, like any of us is capeable of noticing the difference if a page loads in 1.3004 sec or 1.3203 sec, who cares.
                  I'm also sick of apple's marketing. When iPhone had inferior processor and smaller screen than other same-priced phones on the market they said that it doesn't matter what processor you have if it works good, and that we don't live in benchmark test world, and I agree. But whats the point now in saying that it is the fastest mobile processor ever? Others not good enough? To be honest iPhone is very good but for todays standards just an average expencive smartphone.

                        Why am I not surprised to see Apple’s complacency ? i5 is Just another pin in its coffin ! They are proudly behaving like Nokia used to few years back, playing it safe is not a safe game in these innovative times dude. I’m more than sure that somebody in South Korea is having a big party right now J. I am glad that I betted my money on the right best thing.

                        Apple Fans, try to see the world outside your iwindow !

                          At least we know what the iPhone 5S is going to look like. I look forward to Apple's future incremental designs. Better camera and NFC for the next round. Note 2 is what I'm holding out for.

                              [deleted post]typical Samsung fanboy!

                              if you say iPhone 5 is slow, then you are insulting Samsung as iPhone 5 is using Samsung chip. LOL


                              While Apple hasn't revealed much technical detail of the specifications behind iPhone 5 and its components, its new A6 processor is reportedly using next generation ARM Cortex A15 cores, making it the first to market with the technology.

                              According to a report by Anand Lal Shimpi of Anandtech, the performance gains Apple reported for the new A6 chip and other factors means that "it looks like Apple has integrated two ARM Cortex A15 cores on Samsung's 32nm LP HK+MG process."

                              The site added, "This is a huge deal because it means Apple beat both TI and Samsung on bringing A15s to market."

                              Previous generations of the Apple-designed chips used in iOS devices used ARM Cortex-A8 (the iPad / iPhone 4 A4) and Cortex-A9 (iPad 2 / iPhone 4S A5) processor cores. The Cortex-A15 is the next major jump for the ARM architecture, which calls the core "the highest-performance licensable processor the industry has ever seen."

                                  Not so impressed.I am not a fan of any brand.I just want the best smartphone in all aspects.I started using smartphone few years back and Nokia N95 was my first experience,replaced it with Nokia N96 but I was disappointed cos of recurrent lags in Symbian OS,later on I bought iPhone 3GS and fell in love with its user interface and I decided to stick to apple,then iPhone 4 came but I was not so much impressed by it and skipped that and waited for new iPhone,when iPhone 4S was launched,I bought it immediately and I felt it was a better upgrade from my previous iPhone 3 GS
                                  Currently I am using iPhone 4S and I was keenly waiting for iPhone 5 launch but today I am disappointed again cos there is hardly any innovation and I think iPhone 4S users like me wont be impressed so much until and unless they r really fond of buying every new apple product.
                                  I have seen fall of Nokia in smartphone market in last few years and I think apple is repeating the same mistakes which Nokia did,I mean may be they are thinking themselves as the most popular brand and not so keen on inventing new things but they should realize that in today's times competition is very tough and if they want to stay ahead of all they should come up with some really innovative features never seen before.
                                  Last week Nokia announced windows 8 phone Lumia 920 and considering its cool features I think Nokia has learned from past mistakes and they will catch up soon and will be big players in smartphone segment again
                                  Similarly Samsung with its Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 are one of the best smartphones with innovative features and other companies like Sony and LG are also coming up with cool phones like Experia V and Optimus G respectively and who knows Next Galaxy Nexus by Google may come up with mind blowing features.
                                  I think better to wait for another couple of months and let's see which one will be the best smartphone.Currently Nokia Lumia 920 is on top of my list for my next smartphone and I think I should skip iPhone 5 this year cos light weight and a bit increase in length with some more speed are not so impressive features to consider upgrading from iPhone 4S to iPhone 5
                                  In Next year I feel there will be more excitement in smartphone industry when Samsung will come up with Galaxy S4 and Nokia will extend its Lumia line up and Sony and LG further solidifying their positions and if Apple wants to beat them all they have to invent something extra ordinary on urgent basis in the form of iPhone 5S or iPhone 6 otherwise they will end up loosing market share in smartphone business.
                                  Currently I think Apple is the best in tablet PC that is iPad and no other brand has come close to iPad so far but who knows for how long they will rule tablet market?
