Apple has done it again!! It has introduced another revolutionary product that will be industry-leading the day it comes out. I am very happy with all the upgrades and improvements of the iPhone 5 over the 4S.
* The iPhone 5 includes a revolutionary A6 processor. Dual-core. Simply incredible. Now you'll be able to open up and navigate to Settings to disable 4G/Data even faster than ever. The Samsung Galaxy S3 has dual-core, a direct blatant copy of Apple. Get a life, Samsung!
* iPhone 5 has free voice navigation. Android has had this for quite some time, a blatant copy of iPhone 5's features. Android is such a bad copy of Apple.
* The iPhone 5 has 4G LTE connectivity. Simply ingenious!! All Android phones now have 4G LTE, a blatant copy of Apple. Android and Google need to stop copying Apple and develop their own ideas.
* The iPhone 5 has the revolutionary Panorama camera feature. The Samsung Galaxy S3 also does this, a blatant copy of Apple. This will make taking pictures a snap. The ability to save near-infinite photos on 16GB (no microsd slot) will be amazing. Thank you, Apple!
* The iPhone 5 comes with a revolutionary new connector - Lightning! It's another sure-fire way for Apple and product-manufacturers to get more money from selling new products that support Lightning. Lightning is the name of the main character of Final Fantasy XIII, a blatant copy of iPhone 5's connector. Square Enix, get a life! Apple should also sue God for patent-infringement - Apple created Lightning.
* The iPhone 5 has a revolutionary 4" screen, but the phone is still the same width as the 4S. Simply breathtaking to look at. The LG G2X also has a 4" screen, a blatant copy of Apple. Get a life, LG. Stop copying Apple!!
* The iPhone 5 has 640x1136 resolution, slightly less than Samsung's Galaxy S3 1280x720, but Apple is still better because, let's face it - they're Apple.
These reasons and more, my friends, are the reasons why Apple is #1 and is the reason why the iPhone 5 will sell in record quantities. Long live Apple!! In the name of Steve Jobs, Amen!
OMG A NEW PANORAMIC CAMERA?
HOLY BALLS, SO AMAZE.
HOW MANY ARE YOU GOING TO BUY?!
I'm going to get 4 of them.
So is it USB3 or USB2 ?
before the announcement I was considering upgrading my 4S to a 5 ... now I don't really see the point ..
Nothing too special features wise, but does look to be of exceptional build quality [url]http://www.apple.com/iphone/design/[/url]
This is one thing I hate about other phones, that cheap plastic feel.
I'll probably buy one.
The point would be that your cool friends who do with look at your old phone, point & laugh... it's a fashion accessory, and you are stuck in 2005.
Mine's quite functional as the app I developed for it controls most of my house
Mine's quite functional as the app I developed for it controls most of my house (with siri integration so you can tell things to turn on/off or open/shut if you are too lazy to press a button).. so that still makes my 4S cooler than theirs

Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork and professional software. Apple leads the digital music revolution with its iPods and iTunes online store. Apple has reinvented the mobile phone with its revolutionary iPhone and App Store, and is defining the future of mobile media and computing devices with iPad.
Do iphones have themes or are you stuck with the same ui for good?
I'm about to flash a jelly bean rom this weekend, looking forward to seeing if it is buttery.
Just fits better in your arse
Definitely getting one, Apple has done it again. I don't mind about changing the ports etc its only like 30 bucks for the adapter.Did that just happen?

Conned you out of another bunch of cash?

The screen will still be god like along with the selection of apps an build quality.
God this is tiring. Every single year.

That is just another example of their agenda. Suckering money out of naive consumers through good marketing.
Making geeky tech products somehow cool to people who want to feel they are superior. While people who have a clue about tech products use better cheaper more flexible, versatile alternatives.
The reaction to the popularity of APPL is starting to show, like all big trends there is a reaction to the mainstream and what was cool, will soon be the opposite.
The release of the iPhone5 has been so carefully crafted to sucker fans into parting with money, it's amazing. Much like the Cod series.

I'm no fanboy of anything, but this is a pretty stupid ad.
According to this poster, the only benefit the S3 has specs-wise is 2GB Ram, which would be unnoticeable in normal usage due to iOS being less resource hogging. I dont believe the listed battery standby time, my 4S eats my brothers S3's battery life.
It then goes on to list a whole lot of Samsung software features, without listing any from iOS.
I'm not gonna debate which phone is 'better', but its a pretty brainless poster.
I like the iPhone becase it's black.Same reason I like you.

I'm no fanboy of anything..
I'm not adamant everyone needs an iPad. I dont even have an iPad.
Need I remind you that I'm the one that constantly leaves Apple to give Android and WP7 a good chance. Nothing stacks up, IMO.
Nothing will truly impress me til they stick in a gpu powerful enough to play a current title in 1080p via a nano hdmi cable (patent pending).
Horse's for courses, is what you boys need to understand.
Elephant dung is selling like hot cake
But Toyota makes nothing close to the power of a Lamborghini.
A better comparison might be between Rolls-Royce & Mercedes-Benz the first only makes luxury cars while the other makes a wider range including direct competitors to the first.
I will agree that Swindles point is a bit shit.
The S3 has good features. Its just so big!

Even if next years crop of phones dispense cocaine/soma and can turn into masturbators I wouldn't see the need to ditch my current phone.
Anyone here recently ditched theirs or planning on doing so this year?
I don't understand the need to buy a new one.
I have an S2 and plan on taking it to the grave (ie waiting for it to become uneconomic to maintain).

2,000 in staff riot at iPhone's Chinese 'sweatshop' factory after 'guard beats up worker'
A riot involving 2,000 workers broke out at an Apple factory in China, leaving 40 people injured.
More than 5,000 police were reportedly sent to bring the riot at the Foxconn factory in the northern city of Taiyuan in the Shanxi province of China until control after trouble erupted in workers' sleeping quarters yesterday.
Comments on Chinese internet bulletin boards said the trouble may have been sparked by a security guard hitting an employee and not related to the recent anti-Japan protests.
In a statement, the Taiwanese-owned company said: 'A personal dispute between several employees escalated into an incident involving some 2,000 workers at approximately 11pm last night in a privately-managed dormitory.'

2degrees is ok but lack of locations is a deal breaker.
And I have heard coverage isn't as good. Telecom seem to have the best coverage, even within Auckland I have had areas with very little to no vodafone coverage, while others have had full 3G on Telecom.Conversely Telecom coverage at my parents old place was non-existant but VF/2d was perfect, subsequently they both switched to VF. My bedroom gets full signal whilst my toilet 1 bar, very disappointing.

so probably mentioned in the previous pages but I do find it retarded that Vodafone has the distribution rights to the iphone 5 in NZ and wont let you buy one with signing up to a 2 year plan

The Lumia 920 is looking pretty good.
Thats the one I am waiting for to replace my 8+ year old brick.
Fuck me sideways.

^ Not sure if this is troll or just wtf...
Really makes me wonder who they design the iPhone for...
Simpler people...
The Iphone still has a far better app store than the android, but in saying that the Android OS is better..... I still like the size of the iphone better than the s3, s3 too big to hold, iphone 5 you can still hold it nicely with one hand, fits well in pockets etc and the size of the screen is all you need.
Think I'd still go for the Iphone over Android only because of the App store and the size of the phone. If this phone was running Android with the Iphone App store it would be a match made in heaven
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

That is some terrible logic. Its all around the wrong way.
The iOS is far superior to Android in terms of stability and responsiveness. The Google play store is far larger then the app store.
The iPhone 5 looks retarded however. No denying that. The screen aspect ratio is $#@!ed.
Plus, she's the kind of person, who will probaly stick with the same phone for 5 years.
Didn't she say she had an Apple phone 4?

In other news JB on s3 is epic
You have a 4.1.1 vanilla working ROM? Official release or leak?
I have mine - am enjoying it so far

Hey fuckers, I come into this thread to read your views on how shit iPhone 5 is, not what shitty ROMS you're using.
Is that stock JB?

Wouldnt say fitting.
iOS, while not the most feature rich, has got to be the most stable OS.

You know that iOS apps have a higher crash rate than android right?Sauce?
Sauce?
Never had an iOS app crash on me, some Cydia apps have though

Splitting hairs at even 'their' results 0.69% being the difference.
lol, is it really?
Did you just see a small number and therefore completely dismiss it? Some good Fox News logic there.
That number represents the increased chance of an app failing between andriod and apple per run.
The fail rate at worst is only %3.6 so %0.69 is actually a significant proportional difference.
Put into proportional terms.... A 3rd quartile IOS app is %20 more likely to fail on startup compared to an Andriod App
And how about looking at the 1st quartile, the top tier IOS apps are 3.4 times more likely to crash compared to their Andriod counterparts.
Which I don't think is splitting hairs and if true is very good rebuttal to what Berg said.
You can go on your figures all you want but.....
I personally prefer not having to muck around to get this working
What in the fuck are you even talking about?
Buy Android phone. Turn on said phone. Use said phone.
Tell me at what stage you need to "fuck around to make things work"?. Its not like they send you a phone that is unformatted with no OS and no apps, that you then have to finish coding and flash via odin.
I think you are,
A) An Apple fanboi (i said it, come at me bro)
B) To short sighted to see that the Android growth will only result in better OS's and better phones
Considering that, you know, Android is outselling iOS 6 to 1...
I'm assuming fair as in 6 people that just want cheap android phones will buy a $99 phone compared to one person that will buy a $599 Iphone for it's features (cheapest iphone on the market currently).This.
I agree, you can't compare how many Android phones sold vs Iphone because there is about 20 different manufacturers selling phones with Android on them ranging from $80 to $1000.....
Personally Android has a better OS but Iphone has better apps. For now....

I doubt the cheaper Android phones will be able to cope with any serious processing loads. They are normally made with outdated hardware so they normally need to be replaced every year or less to keep up with the latest apps. I know someone who purchased a cheap Android Sony phone for around $500 and temple run lags enough to be unplayable.

Playing games isn't important.
Having an affordable device that can deliver mobile access to the internet, video, GPS, twitter etc to the masses is pretty powerful stuff.
Xpertz, perhaps in the Republic of Georgia where Bell is the 858 is how we say 'the best thing since sliced bread'?

Wait what. You consider a cheap android to be $500?
So you're talking about Apple then?
5 years and 6 phone. You fucking tell me bro.
Android phones with fucking old school Gingerbread are still be made and used, on hold hardware, and run really well.
That is a lot cheaper compared to the phones at the 1000$ mark. Android phones cheaper than that and you might as well get a cheap Nokia phone because the screen is too small or it is too far out of date. At the $500 dollar mark one can pick up the slightly outdated but still pretty good Galaxy Nexus.
U8815
Also this looks awesome for the price: [url]http://huaweimobile.co.nz/ascend-g600[/url]
$400
Android v4.0
4.5" qHD Touch Screen
8Megapixel Camera w/ Dual LED flash
1.2GHz Dual Core Processor
I just blew your $500 theory out of the dick-flavoured water.
It's probably best you take another look at what Android offers at certain price brackets.
I have a $250 Huawei. 1GHz, 4" screen, Adreno GPU, 5MP camera. Runs amazingly well with ICS.

$400.
Not to mention, if you are willing to directly buy it from china yourself, you can pick up above spec phones even cheaper (sub-$300). Androids are by far superior for the middle market.
Link? The last time I looked at the 300$ bracket was when the P500 was 200$
The Galaxy Nexus is 468$ish so I rounded up, would still rather pay the extra 70$ for a flagship device to get a greater amount of support from Google, CFW devs and app devs.
It's so thin and so light, yet iPhone 5 features a larger display, a faster chip, the
latest wireless technology, an 8MP iSight camera, and everyone would try to have an iphone 5.

Apple's Biggest Rival In China Sold Out Its New Phone In Just 3 Minutes
ROB PRICE YESTERDAY AT 8:30 AM
The launch of the rising Chinese technology giant Xiaomi’s latest mobile phone has been a resounding success, Android Central reports, with the Mi Note selling out just three minutes after it went on sale on Tuesday morning.
We don’t know how many devices were sold, but Xiaomi has received more than 220 million reservations for the mobile device (though these won’t all translate into sales). The company is aiming to sell 100 million devices in 2015 — a substantial jump from the 61.1 million sold in 2014.
Xiaomi is sometimes described as the “Apple of China,” and it has been criticised for producing devices that bear remarkable similarities to those of the Cupertino company. Apple design boss Jony Ive has labelled the designs of Xiaomi’s phones as “theft.” But for the Mi Note, Xiaomi eschewed Apple’s aesthetic, instead opting for a simple, elegant glass design. (CEO Lei Jun even mocked Apple’s designs during the Mi Note’s unveiling.)
The Mi Note also boasts impressive specs, packing more RAM, a bigger battery and a more powerful camera into the Mi Note than is in the iPhone 6 — at a significantly cheaper cost. The Mi Note starts at $US370, while the iPhone is $US749 for the lowest-spec option. Early reviews of the Mi Note are also highly positive.
