    The iPhone 5S will have the revolutionary fingerprint scanner called "Touch ID sensor." It's confirmed already. Watch Samsung copy that feature.

      Thing is...most apple users don't know what they are buying...they just think that newer is better. I'm saying most, not all. And i'm threading carefully here cause i don't wanna start another war. I'm just speaking based on experience as a phone salesperson that most people who buy an iphone. Just expects it to work out of the box and couldn't care less about other things. So specs isn't something that's gonna draw in the crowd.

        Apple is greedy, people! They are getting so much profit from their iphones sales compare
        to other companies that sale more phones because their
        profit to cost margin on each of their product is so big. It is
        because their r&d department isn't working that hard to
        come up with something totally new especially in design
        and camera. They don't add too much on hardware improvement either, it's their greedy strategy. The screen is
        exactly the same, resolution, type, size, and even the
        battery capacity would be the exact same. No extra added
        value. They even made accessories that must be bought
        seperately. Not to mention, itunes. They really are good at
        making money business. Samsung on the other hand, has done a massive reconstruction and developement on their
        products. The latest one is the Note 3, they have improved
        every aspect and every part of the phone. The screen got
        bigger; resolution got alot higher (hd to full hd), battery
        capacity is bigger, too, but they managed to make the
        physical size of the phone thinner, slimmer and even lighter than the Note 2. The phone material and style is
        improved. The internals (cpu-gpu) are made top notch, and
        now, there isn't even a 16GB model, it's 32 and 64 now
        baby! Yet still expandable ;) The camera is also improved to
        13MP with 4K UHD recording at 30fps. And of course, the
        most important thing is the capabilities of the phone, the features, they made them alot richer with even more
        (gimmicks of not) features, alot more simpler and alot
        more useful (s-pen, multiwindow-multitasking and more)
        and now it even has usb 3.0 support! Of course all of that
        comes with the freedom and evolution of Android. Hmm.. I
        just hope this writting of mine helps to inform alot of people to decide what company is really offering what's
        best for them. Peace out.

          What my opinion says that iphones doesn't worth to be that costliest regardless of what they are doing on improving it..... No doubt they work a lot to improve it but they hardly made any changes to its features and overall.I Must say that Droids consumes a huge space in Indian market as compares to Apple devices. Even I've replaced my iphone 5 and bought a new Samsung Galaxy Note II. Although I am quite happy and satisfied. Iphone is a "traditional device with a new look only"

But I do agree that the new iPhone will be an ifail because of its lack of features and small screen. Why pay more for an iPhone and get less features? It doesn't make sense unless you're in love with Apple or itunes

                Why are people criticizing the iPhone for not having octacore or 7-inch screen? Ever since the released of the first iPhone in 2007 it is always not about the specs. The iPhone is all about unparalleled user experience.

                The joy of owning an iPhone >>>> Octacore/7" Droid

                  even apple's board of directors is pissed off by tim cook.. read this..

                          it's face images , why ?

                          1. see the calendar icon ! on 5 & 5S same date (10th) & on 4&4s it's (30th) and on apple site all photos on iOS7 pages on specific date (10th)
                          2. the clock on both 5 &5S come with AM like other apple pages and 4&4s (24hrs) time without AM
                          3. Face time record on iphone 5 is 120 frame !!!!????
                          4.why A7 chip photo like A6 photo & A5 with A4 are same ?
                          5. why (S) font & style & height is same as 4S ? & apple change the font with iOS7 on every thing !
