                            i knew there couldn't be a low budget iphone, since the iphone 5 is already outdated in terms of software and specs and i'm not talking about the fact that it has been released for some time, it was outdated since its release, so considering the low specs and poor software of the iphone 5 , and the price that's so high that i can't imagine who would buy something like this if they knew a thing or two about phones. considering all this try to imagine a weaker version but still with a high price, weaker than the curent iphones it should be a feature phone sold for 350 euros, can't imagine the people who would've bought them, i like to believe that i don't know such people, actually my friends don't have iphones, and it's not a thing of money, it's about being a moron or not

                                No lag and very smooth you have to be kidding right ?
                                There's lag in your LCD screen that lags the whole device down, there's lag in accessing the memory, lag in processing the data since your phone has only 2 cores it takes more to process information than a 4 core device, lag in touchscreen responsiveness, and so on.

                                    Instead smartphones with AMOLED screens have no response time lag issues since they are very very responsive.

                                      As I have mentioned before iPhone's have LCD screens with response time lag around 16 ms that no software can fix it. :)
