Is this new "innovation" by apple?

    iPhone 5s specs:

    The main feature will be the return of "resistive screen technology"

    Since that is the only way that a stylus will work for Apple as they won't be able to licence the Wacom digitizer ...

    And to think my good old LG KU990 with Resistive Screen also used a stylus and that was a feature phone from 2007 ...

    Just another reason why if you buy apple then you are buying old and out dated technology they claim they innovate more like "damn we have have run out if ideas" ... next thing you will see is Apple making a paten of the humble "wheel" claiming they have rejuvinated and innovated.

But android users are intelligent enough to use what technology is more applicable. Because android has many options to do a task. Ios users can only do what they are told to do. And your god tells you to use itunes. Hahahaha

            Oh, sure it will!
            Like the iPhone 5 had NFC as they rumors were sure of, like every iPhone since 3g had a larger screen, like the iPhone has a projector, laser projected keyboard...
            And the top reason why I am so sure this "will" happen? The OVERWHELMING "changes" and "improvements" implemented in the iPhone 4s over the iPhone 4 that came out a year and a half before! Following the same pattern, the iPhone 5s will be so advanced it would seem as if its alien technology.

            In a more serious note, if I learned 1 thing over the years is that apple works really hard to NOT listen to its fans, and to make as little changes as possible to their products.
            Expect the next iPhone to be exactly like this one... maybe with an extra megapixel on its camera...

                      Wait, are they actually going to patent it and prepare law suits for the Galaxy Note? Is this a joke or is Apple really this idiotic?

It's doesn't allow content piracy hence it lacks those features. And no iOS users shares a file or software via Bluetooth since we have money to buy our contents and iCloud to sync across all other iDevices.

                            The Android lag is a stereotype made by fanboys. It's just like saying blonde girls are idiots, women can't drive etc.

                                Yeah, this sounds very Apple-ish. Take someone else's technology, improve it and sell as a new, revolutionary solution. Maybe they even issue a patent?
