      those who never had hands on apple products, please think before posting. you cant take apple products lightly, their design made samsung copying it. iphone5 brought 4inch display, 7.7mm thickness, dual core. apple is innovation in itself. apple is quality among quantity. I agree they keep high price on yheir product.

            Apple wait and watch existing tech (eg: Panorama, Voice Recognition), let it mature, gauge the demand, pick what they can find a way to take ownership of (buy the company or the patents) then make it simple to use and that works seamlessly.

            So they improve on other peoples innovations, though rarely innovatge themselves. Oh, hold on.... don't I recall some recent lawsuits about others doing the same?

            TIme to put the what did Apple innovate argument to rest. Have a look lio_drake...I mean everyone :-)

              iphone 5 looks good and should work well, but the camera is inferior to my htc one x!

                Android Fanboys are correct. They have been enjoying the panorama for 2 years now. And yet apple just introduce it to iphone 5.

                But it's the level of perfection. that's why apple brought it up because android have this for years and yet unknowledgeable on how to do it right.

                Apple is always thinking something in level of perfection to bring delight to the users. Unlike Android handsets, nothing but big screen. Pathetic!

                  That is fanboyism extension to another level. All over the internet there is an outcry how dissapoining iphone is.

                                  So many haters here. And so many so called Samsung supporters, yet they prefer to be here than commenting on the Samsung article currently at the top of the front page. Guess you guys are actually secret lovers of iPhone

                                        How can you hail a feature like that which has been on other smartphones long time ago? Creating 28MP panorama is not very useful every time you take photo, unless, it oversample like Nokia 808 do.
