Muthu, 18 Apr 2014I am an android fan and I would never buy an iphone for me.... moreYep, iphone from my opinion is for oldies, conventional people, those who want simplicity which is meant to be limidity, restriction, no customization.. n for those young peoples who want more features, function, customization, large screen with awesome display for videos n gaming now will get an android (apple's retina display now way behind samsung's amoled hd screen). So which one r u? ;)

      TheNeighbor, 18 Apr 2014Come off your metal phone ride! The power jacket or power b... moreWow. It must be rough being such a battery Nazi. I don't get it. If your phone needs to be charged, what is the problem with simply charging it? Having to schlep around batteries with you all the time for fear of running out?

      I think you forget that even though the iPhone only has a 1560 mAh, the screen is an inch+ smaller than the S5. Powering a big display is the biggest drain on batteries.

      Power sources are everywhere. In my car, at my office, my home, the mall...everywhere.

      I can get by for 2 days on a single charge, & another 1 day from the power case. Much more convenient than swapping batteries throughout the day. If you are on your mobile 8 hrs a day....you might need a hobby.

          This is blatant marketing fraud. No one on his right mind would swap a 700$ 5s for this.

We just care about what the device can do, not how it feels. And plastic has so many advantages over metal including weight,scratch resistance and it's radio invisible.

The power jacket or power bank must be more than the the internal battery. I assume that your power jacket is some 2000 to 2200 mAh. That can give you a 100% charge to your 1560 mAh smartphone battery. If the power jacket was only the same capacity as the internal, the power jacket will never give you a full charge.

                                Other iPhone power jackets with a 4200 mAh capacity, and claim they can charge twice the internal. Again, it can happen, because it's more than 30% more than the internal capacity intended to be transferred.

                                Can you say that your power jacket is giving you 100% as you believe with their advertisement? No heat? No loss?

                                Try this on your iPhone - a mix of browsing on LTE, while internet music is on, and also partly looking at your gallery. I got 8 hours of screen time on from a span of 9 hours on those rare occasion i had a 100% charge from my battery:

Apple did not invent the fingerprint for phones . Actually motorolla did , and just by putting it on the home button does not make you officially the inventor of new technology . And Like in football with barca . No One (company player etc ..) Can stay number one for ever . The time has come for the fruit company to fall behind . It's hard for you and i understand but it's for the best if you want your company to make usefull things they have to lose to understand where they were wrong .

                                      Anyway have fun with ios i certainly wish you the best friend
