alexendra, 23 Sep 2012wow iphone 5 has built in dents ? i dropped my sgs3 10 time... moreYeah can you imagine how it gonna looks like after couple of months of usage. Dent and paint scrapes on a unibody design(you either have to change the whole chassis or buy new one esp dent issue), from which you paid a hefty premium, man its not the best feeling ever.

The sad thing is people will buy this phone, get a marker pen and spend their time coloring it in. How is this a quality product? Nwever had a phone in 10 years that needs a paint job out of the box

Fast, beautiful, small screen, clean but borring ui, with some strange limitations. aaaa, and don't touch it anywhere besides the screen. Edges are not touch proff! too expensive for what it offers. Don't say SGSIII is better, but in 2 months there will be much better offering on the market and apple will come with just a minor update in 11-13 months. And that's the craziest part!

them drop tests suck ..a proper test the 2 phone would be falling at the same angle height a fluke that the samsung went first ..nokia has the worlds best test facilty for testing not some random person dropping a phone ..its like tossing a coin..

Anonymous, 23 Sep 2012Apple launched capacitive screen????On what universe?ok it was LG probably.. but still its not Apple but its Nokia who are taking thins to next level.. see not much of difference between iphone 4 and iphone 5.. could have been iphone 4.2 easily.. but look at Nokia Lumia 920.. huge jump and its really looking towards next gen tech..

Anodising should be hard wearing. Apple have probably specced some exotic alloy without thinking through the process to conclusion. As always, Apple mobile comes out looking half arsed. One day.

This is the reason and evidence for out of box damages.
Apple not equal quality anymore...

If sgs3 had these issues everyone would say crap plastic product. As iphone has this issue it's a feature not a defect.
This is how brainwashed mobile users have become.
This reflects apple desire for $ over qc....a sign of corporate capitalistic greed.
Apple users need to look long and hard in the mirror at themselves every morning.

becose of poor perception (anodised+glass+hardware location/radiation) during prototape testing they decide to paint, after produktion of aluminium case start they know it will happend but they were in loose way becose IP5 in that case will be delay more than 3month and lose nearly 23mil USD to reproduce alu case. Im so crazy becose my best friend was killed - this was not selfkilling. They are very bad people. Goudan.
