    Rex, 14 Sep 2012Looks like apple trying to make a fool of the customers aga... morewhy do you need details? don't you belive them when they tell you it's twice as fast as the one from iPhone 4S?
    Yea me neither :))

    Look at the bright side, you can sue them if you don't like it for false advertising, like the australians did

      Looks like apple trying to make a fool of the customers again. Not releasing the full specs (eg CPU details, etc) before the pre-orders.
      Already covering the shortfalls??

        why every1 here think that iphone is used by the best matrials and best looking
        well its not
        like the rest of the phones that u say Plastic
        the design has flaws and there are much more phones with better design
        but in the end it whats inside that count..
        cause from the outside it should be made of gold but inside its just plain iron

              iPhone 5 has better design than Galaxy S3 despite has 4 inch screen.

              The body of iPhone 5 made of high quality metal and glass but Galaxy S3 made of cheap plastic.

              For sure iPhone 5 is my choice.

                Anonymous, 14 Sep 2012for me it hardly matters..because apple is like playstation... moreTrue i can't argue that Android and Windows Phones are very fragmented and have vast amounts of versions, hardware, resolutions and so on and from that reason having a very common phone like the iPhone can mean the apps will be better optimised for you phone.
                On the other hand take a look at the latest Android phones you will see that Google started to fix that problem, the flagship phones from Google, Samsung, HTC, Motorola, LG, Sony are starting to use the same HD resolution.
                After all, phones are a very personal product you carry around every day, so the choise is very personal if you like a phone that represents you go ahead and buy it, just open your eyes and don't let yourself be influenced by media, marketing or the fanboys.

                  samsung is just fooling people by pushing out numbers. and releasing a new phone every 2 months with better specs..and then dropping the support on it's previous models very soon.
                  they are just selling their products. not creating an environment.
                  like wave failed which was a great success when launched but due to lack of support on samsung it is dying and BADA has recieved no updates from atleast an year.

                    for me it hardly matters..because apple is like playstation 3 while the samsung is like pc hardware..no wonder how better u get .every game released for the console would run much better and issue free.
                    on the other hand pc version would always have to deal with fragmentation to support low hardware to highest available ones.

                        "It took less than two hours for Apple to run dry of its initial batch of iPhone 5s, with the company now quoting a two-week wait time for the new handset.

                        While a sellout was expected from analysts and pundits alike, many didn't foresee it happening so soon. It is unclear whether Apple actually sold more units than the previous iPhone 4S launch, which took nearly 24 hours to run through stock, or if the company had less stock on hand."

                          like the HTC and other companies mention their processors used as qualcom ..etc.

                            Anonymous, 14 Sep 2012for all those people who complain about apple using samsung... moreSoC(System on Chip) is A6 the processor is Samsung 100%.
                            If the rummors are true, it's the same one from the new iPad only instead of 4 video cores it has 2 to prevent overheating and that means it's the same processor Samsung used in Samsung Galaxy SII.

At least between the $500 to $1000 USD range anyway. (Please don't comment back and tell me to "go buy a Vertu for $5 grand then" if money is not an issue, that's unrealistic and a really silly investment even if I can afford it :P). Alot of people own iPhones they aren't that expensive, if we choose to stick to the 4S you should respect that and stop being a jerk
