    Wow looks revolutionary lol. Looks the same just a 1/2 inch longer. Should sell like hot cakes lol. Stupid. Very happy with my Galaxy Note they can keep the 5.

    When I saw 11 year olds carrying an iphone last year I knew it was time to give mine up.

    I like the look better than the others rehashes. But because it's apple, I'll pass again. That annoying company has given me no reason to respect them and give them my hard earned money.

    Their products (including the iphone) are of average quality, not the best quality. But they try to convince everyone that it's the best and then sell it for a premium + apple tax (I think the ipad is the ONLY one where they cannot get away with that).
    So sure, it might be decent software and hardware. But for that price, it sucks.

    So, what "new" features are we going to see in this one then...? No doubt it'll be something that android/wp7 phones have been doing since day 1 but Apple will think up a catchy name for it and everyone will think that they invented it...

    Bored of apple's products, angered by their appalling human rights, sick of itunes (best thing about ditching my iPhone 3 years ago was uninstalling that crap).

    Personally very happily using WP7 & looking forward to WP8.

    Oh, and a message to all those vocal iPhone users, you bought it, you didn't ****ing invent it!

    I love seeing the ibabies cry. To get that worked up about someone else personal choice is funny.

    All of the people complaining have never had an Apple product or are too Windows/Android fanboi to look at the situation objectively.

    Anecdote:

    I had an HP Envy (First Gen i7) Beats Edition with a 3 year warranty. HP wouldn't replace it after 18months (The Video Card and mobo melted -- sweet engineering HP).

    I just bought the brand new MacBook Pro (Retina). It's a lemon. Apple is shipping me a new one and I get to KEEP the lemon -- No questions asked. I also got free priority shipping (My new machine will be here by the end of the week). That's why you get Apple. Customer service and products that WORK.

    Comment:

    Can't wait to see this iPhone 5. There's a reason the iPhone and the iPad are dominating the market. They are powerful, easy to use and brilliantly engineered. I wish I could say the same for every Android but it's just not the case.

    I would also like to say I picked up the Galaxy SIII and that is a fantastic device. I would recommend if you're looking for a cool gadget in the interim.

    You sound bitter...

    I agree with rippleman. I know lots of people, all have cell phones, at least 50% are iphones. (although at least 25% of iphone users I know break them in the first year!) :eek:
    oh, and I DO know an isheep...but only one.
  10. Love the non-iphone fan replies. fact is, there will be lines around the corner to get a hold of one of these and they will be sold out in days if not hours, unlike any crap droid phone that comes out every 2 weeks with crap battery life and bloated software installed. nothing will beat this phone. period. not even the samsung tablet.. oops I meant phone. (sorry, its just so big I thought it was a table) LMAO - OWNED!
  11. No. This phone is much cooler! Samsung crap is just that, CRAP.
  12. Yet another Apple PDA that they will of course queue up for just to get robbed, serves them right for wanting yet another Personal Display of Affluence (or should that be effulgence) just like the last one. Has to be the new one right or your not cool.

    Either Apple are great at marketing or taking advantage of the weak minded. Oh and I don't have an Apple or an Samsung, I'm just taking advantage as well and crying all the way to the bank.
  13. Iphone Innovations level: crap

    Android is far easier to just use out of the box than iOs. Everything is much more intuitive on Android.

    No... Android does not slow down over time unless you are filling it full of retarded apps. iOS does the same thing. Updates, one of the major complaints is due to Android receiving more updates than iOS. If my android phone updated any more frequently I would give it back.

    Android is far superior to iOs in both of those areas... Gps is laughable that you think iOS works better, and voice recognition proves that you have never used an android phone beyond first gen.


    This is another lie, congrats.

    the iPhones are actually the easiest to break phones on the market. I do like the weight of it though.


    Yes I was able to resell a free iPhone I received for about retail due to apple fans being retarded. Android fans on the other hand are not as stupid with their money. This is also proven in the app markets.


    Google hangout > facetime. Android wins again.

    You own an iPhone, and have never used android.
