AnonD-78671, 21 Mar 2013Why on earth would they want to downgrade to a crappy OS li... moreAs a ex-iphone user (3gs & 4s) I disagree. My S3 running cm10.1 makes the iphone seem obsolete in every area. Not tried the iphone 5 but I'm sure not much has changed in iOS apart from the the drop down notification bar (which was copied from android btw).

        This is the main fact with Apple without Steve Jobs.The all Apple company was run depends upon only one mind of innovation. Now in present day Apple have nothing to do or make some new creature. Now Apple only can do one thing just little re-modify the old product and then release in market with a new box pack and with higher price tag. LOL...

              it makes sense to suspect that apple will only slightly update this model, with a complete redesign for iPhone 6, i would imagine that this model would only get a processor upgrade, also the camera would be boosted to around 12mp with some new features, the IOS will be updated to address bug fixes and tweaks but no doubt will still look the same as every other iPhone UI.
              They would possibly update the retina display but cant really see them increasing the screen size till number 6

                Apple is slowly but certainly losing a war...

                    AnonD-78671, 21 Mar 2013Why on earth would they want to downgrade to a crappy OS li... morethe only advantage of the IOS is that is perfectly customizet and tuned up for the iPhone hardware , a thing that often doesnt happend with android's official roms easily achivable with custom roms on the net. with an infinite variety of apps closed and open sources. i see nothing else better on ios than on android. on the wp8 look you mention there is no chance android would devolve like that and even in the case you can always easily downgrade you os to something of more lovely looking.

                      Plastic?

                      And you were ripping on Samsung? lol

                          Expect the next version of Android to be EXACTLY like WP8! hahaahaha!!!

                            knowing apple, they will only give small update to iphones, followed by aggressive lawsuit in following months. :D

                            be ready guys, apple is busy with lawsuit, don't expect them to busy with research on improving iphone, lol.
