    iPhone 5 is not only look good and feel good in your hand, it works like a magic.

    The body is so thin and light, make you feel good.

    The 4 inch screen is very nice and you can operate with just one hand. You dont feel fatigue in your hand.

    The super high quality retina display, audio speaker and camera further enhance your user experience like never before.

    Combine with the optimized iOS 6 makes iPhone 5 operate with buttery smooth.

    iPhone 5 is the best phone ever created by Apple after post Steve Jobs era.

    For sure Sammy will reenginnering the less superior S3 to be more competitive with iPhone 5.

      AnonD-9023, 17 Sep 20121.They won't buy an android because , it is inefficient and... moreBefore starting the response, I think we agree in some points:

      1. Shocker, they do. People do buy phones other than iPhones because they like or prefer them. GS3 figures are there too.
      2. iOS is a good OS. It's just not "above" any other like the comment i answered to stated.
      3. I don't care what people have. The guy said most Android users never got to use an iPhone in their whole live, which I find pretty unrealistic.
      4. iPhone's camera is overwhelmingly ubiquitous as the iPhone itself is, but it doesn't make it better. I wouldn't buy a 808 or a 920, but their cameras are cetainly better.
      5. I always add a pinch of salt to Apple's and everybody else's figures. The "we ran outta stock" moniker only urges brand loyalists to qeue outside their stores.

        i know one thing , once nokia comes out with promising phones, it's fans will automatically kill the copy cat (sammy). i was a nokia fan to be honest but i had to buy sammy because nokia did not gave any choice to us but as far as iphone is concerned i will still say it's a nice phone ....sorry can't live in a blind world where i can only see android nothing else :)

            AnonD-55045, 17 Sep 20121. Anyone who buys a Glaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2, HTC One X, Xp... more1.They won't buy an android because , it is inefficient and sluggish even with Quad Cores and Dual Cores (Google demonstrated project butter on Dual core G-nexus and clearly showed stuttering them)

            I have seen lot of people praising Lumia which has almost same design as N9 or 800 , while same ones criticize iPhone for iterative design , That shows trolling clearly.

            2.I think Notifications was the only thing where android is great , apart from that , i really don't see iOS as behind.

            3.Nobody cares what others own , even if it is true , its purely personal preference.

            4.But unfortunately , most Lumias and PVs are ending up in shelves , if u look at flickr ,iPhone 4S and 4 are number one and two , Lot of people are using cameras of the phone , which is way better than devices ending up unused.

            5.Its worldwide my dear and iPhone pre-orders are counted only in 4-5 countries.

              Haha so many haters yet so many buyers.
              as my name says “i hate apple” yet i just switched from gs3 to iphone 5. Why?
              because it is just a smart phone where as gs3 and most android phones try to be computers, big hans monitors etc. I always end up coding something. So now i have no excuses to be distracted =)

              i will miss you android!

                    you're comparing what samsung got on pre-order prior to the phone being released. This iphone only went on pre-order like a few days ago... this will reach over 3 million before the phone releases. no body would wait 8days outside of a store for a SG3.. why? cause its a piece of junk.
                    and android aint got $hit on iOS, WP8, or meego/maemo

                        I'd never buy a Samsung fridge or washer, but their lcd tv's are the best you can get, their phones and laptops are likewise good along with some other items.
                        Apple is soon to launch Apple TVs, and will no doubt get into other tech later. So they won't be much different in a few years.

                        Anyway...it's 9 million SGS3 phones they had pre ordered.
                        And though Apple will exceed that (you can't keep an apple fan from frothing at the mouth) what's really bad is Apple know this, yet are stopping some pre orders claiming product shortages.

                        Like really? That's a bad taste move to make more hype at the expense of it's loyal customers.

                                iPhone 5 has already proven to be the most popular smartphone in the world with a record breaking for selling 2 millions units within 24hrs or 23 units for 1 second.

                                Why people choose iPhone 5 because other phones are not good enough in many ways. They either look ugly, look cheap with plastic, poor camera, too big screen, poor OS, bad user experience ..etc

                                    I used an iPhone 4 for the weekend to play Some facebook games. iOS is good but not for heavy users. Android actually makes things so much easier to use. i thought it was the other way around. iOS is simple OS though, anybody can use it. I would get an iPhone 5 to use for certain occasions if it didn't use a nano sim but not to replace my Android
