Ale, 12 Sep 2012Anybody know any specs on the A6 by the way? Such as: Nu... moreprobably 1.5 Dualcore. As far as I've seen in the past years Apple prefaced the new iPhone specs with the iPad and the new iPad still has dualcore.

          Anonymous, 12 Sep 2012This is going to be huge hit, so thin and so light. Theres ... moreYou see, the whole point of non-apple phones (windows mobile, android, blackberry) is the posibility to make your own choice. You like not-so-big screen with firepower and ultra slom? Razr M got your back, want gigantic screen? Galaxy note, one x, sgs3. Want ultra small phone with smartphone functions? Galaxy mini, galaxy Y.

          What apple fan boys fail to get is that apple has you buying what THEY think is right for you. You dont have a choice, at least if you want to stay in iOS. So apple is like a dictatorship, and if the latest movie from sacha baron cohen has taught us something, is that most people dont like dictators.

            Well, I like the idea of orientation-independent connectors. And that's it. Yawn. Same camera, same interface, a little different design. If Steve Jobs was alive at least he would make something that I could actually talk about, love it or hate it. This is just another phone. Strange, there's a new iPhone and still "by daily interest" it's number 4 while Lumia 920 holds number one.

                all i need is too wait for the hands-on reviews of the iPhone5 and Lumia 920 before i decide which will be my next phone. let's check their capabilities. too bad Lumias will be out around late October/early November this year. i bet the Lumia has a slight edge over the iPhone, i really hope so.

                        How about the battery? The phone is much thinner than its predecessor, I wonder how fast the battery drains given the new specs.

                                    a bitter disappointment. nothing impressive if you're not a fanboy. if you just compare the new phone with all the other latest phones available in the market without siding with anyone, it is clear that apple is not anymore a trend setter, nobody can deny that. The camera is not impressive(no increment in MP). same retina display. processor cannot even be compared to the other android phones which costs less than the new iphone. screen size got an increment to 4". the main upgrades to 4g LTE is not exciting as much as inevitable. weight and thickness has been reduced, this i gotta give to apple.but, not convincing enough to buy the iphone. final verdict: its a same old sH*t in a 4" inch package and a hefty price tag on it. not compelling enough to buy.

                                      This is a degradation of Apple.
                                      Only Apple fans will buy iPhone5. No new attracted buyers. No innovations to attract new customers.
