But I think the Iphone idea had died with Steve and now there isn't anything new. The hype about purchasing the new Iphone 5 has nothing different. Same camera as the Iphone 4S. So in reality they have just made it lighter and have stretched it, added an extra row to the home screen and a panoramic feature to the camera. So I must as well have purchased a 4S which is cheaper. Well its up to how people want to spend their money and this new iphone is definitely too expensive for what its worth.

                    Apple will always be the leading company in innovations, samsung should accept that. No need of fighting over that.

                      People who have an iPhone will defiantly praise it, for nothing, truth is Sammy's Galaxy S3 is better than iPhone 4s, and it has all the hardware's already which new iPhone 5 has now.

                              Apple’s greed has caused all this suing/counter suing action.. To the Crapple of today, what did they think? Samsung would just roll over and die? Apples underlying cause for this is they want world dominance, and they are just plain threatened by Android and they hate them.
                              IDC’s latest Q3 numbers show, Android has 68% market share World wide. Apple’s iOS comes in at second place with a mere 17%, RIM’s BlackBerry comes in at 4.8%, Symbian at 4.4%, and Microsoft’s Windows Phone is in last place at 3.5%.
                              There is no doubt that Apple has infringed on Samsung's patents. They knew they were doing it as well - which is why the last iPhone wasn't LTE. Sadly for them - they will learn the hard way - that patent law works both ways. Look for Samsung to ban the iPhone and iPad from US and European sales. Then maybe they can come a mutual agreement and use each other's technology which they should have done from the get go.. Then everyone will win, especially the consumer who ultimately pays for every cent all the big cooperates in the word have in the first place.
                              Apple to Crapple in in a blink of a eye!! They are killing the fundamental spirit and culture that Steve Jobs built Apple on, one of which for example was.. “CREATIVITY LEADS TO INNOVATIVE IDEAS… LEADS TO BREAKTHROUGHS THAT OTHERS MAY HAVE MISSED. BROADENING YOUR EXPERIENCE ALSO MEANS SEEKING INSPIRATION FROM OTHER INDUSTRIES”..

                                    first teething problems for the Apple Iphone 5. The maps direct you to a different place and they have also wiped out historic places in the UK and replaced them with old fast food restaurants. lol. More complains to come.

                                      Anonymous, 21 Sep 2012I beg to differ. The 1st iphone was nothing. i had my p9... moreI too beg to differ with you.

                                      I had the se p900 back then and it was Symbian uiq that was already staring to be abandoned. I also remember thinking that apple hadn't invented the touchscreen too. But only a fool would think that the uiq experience was anywhere near the iPhone experience.. It was full of tiny menus that even the stylus struggled to select..

                                      Also I never said they invented anything. I said they revolutionised the market. Look at every phone before the iPhone then all the phones since..htc started to try and make windows look better with their touch flo interface on the diamond and touch hd. Samsung introduced touch wiz on the i900. Windows itself updated to 6.5 to try and regain lost market share and Nokia came up with the n97 to make an easy to use touchscreen. Sony Ericsson withdrew from uiq after the failed p990 and stuck with windows with their own tiled interface on top until the advent of android.

                                      Blackberry were always at that time serious business centric devices that didn't care a jot about the consumer market (their failed attempt at that came much later with the flopped storm)..

                                      Blind hatred of apple won't change the facts that the first iPhone took the smartphone market by storm and caused all the other players to sit up and take note and seriously up their games..

                                      I'm not saying anything about what they ripped off as the way it was implemented before was way off how the iPhone implemented it. They took the tech and made it infinitely better. This appealed to the mass public and the smartphone market burgeoned as a result.

                                      Half the android users today would never have gone near a winmo device of old. Smartphones would still be niche products for geeks only.. Nowadays it's harder to find a feature phone in a store than a smartphone.
