iPhone 5

[Max Paper]

I don't understand people that don't buy iPhones. Much like I don't understand people that don't buy German cars.

This is a fantastic quote and I agree entirely

BBC News - Viewpoint: Apples iPhone launches no longer excite

Was just about to post this.

I have an iphone, and agree with everything in this article.

Actually, I wasn't going to post any more about this, but for a more varied view - have a look at the comments page on the BBC News article (sort by highest rated):

I agree with some of it, while some of it is distorting facts to support an argument/view.

Like "The Galaxy S3 is outselling the iPhone in some countries."

SOME. Take that in. That's not impressive at all if you think about it. That would suggest that the iPhone is still comfortably outselling the S3 in most territories.

Which isn't bad for a phone that is going to be obsolete in about two hours time

To be realistic, anybody with at least a single drop of technology knowledge would know by how superior android is over the Iphone.

First of all, hardware. For the price of an iPhone 4G (Which has a processor piece that is really weak), you can get an S3 or One X, which offer around 6 times the power of the 4G.

Second, OS. I agree that iOS is far more stable than Android, but the great thing is that Android is YOUR very own unlocked device. Once you buy it, you are allowed to do whatever you want with it, with only the radical activities would break the warranty bond. This is great for people experienced with modifying system and such.

Also, iPhone is ridiculously bad for small time software developers. You have to pay 10 times more dollars (99,99) just to be able to get a license to develop your own stuff. On the Android, on the other hand, you can get one for 9,99.

This would be just some of the reasons why I think iPhone is really the worst solution. (Except for Nokia.)

I just wrote out a very lengthy reply to this post about how superior iOS was to android, but my HTC sensation decided that it would be a good time to restart my phone.

Can we watch the release live and if so on what site?

Heres a picture of it. I'll be ordering it that's for sure!

SOME.

The word some in this instance is neutral. Without knowing the data, neither you nor I nor anyone can say whether that is not impressive. Perhaps the Galaxy is outselling iPhone in 6 out of 10 countries. Perhaps 3 from 10. Who knows?

21st September release with pre-orders from Friday.
Looking good so far.
Very interested in what deals & tariffs 'EE' will have to offer. They may be able to sway me away from Giffgaff with the 4G capability.

OBVIOUSLY he'd put MOST if it was most. Come on. Come off it. Come everywhere.

spoken like a fanboi. nothing is obsolete just because a new model is out, or are you saying the 4S is obsolete too? that might come a surprise to those buying one in the coming months.

It seems that included in 'some' is the US. Then factor in that the S3 is just one of many Android phones, and it's quite significant.

Ive noticed here that the Asian population all seem to use Samsung rather than IPhone.

Following that announcement, Apple iPhone 5 could become obsolete before it's sold. What a disappointment. I've read twice already, but is there anything new that others have not done already?

Was my post of the day. actually laughed out loud..

The problem with Android is that its available in a number of flavours and on a number of devices, some good, some not so good. I had a HTC Wildfire and it was a bit limited so I bought something better. It was a toss up between an iPhone 4s or top range Android (price wan't an issue). In the end I settled on the 4s and I've only once issue with it, in that if I set it to silent when I'm asleep during the day, I have to remember to set it back to noisy. Other than that, I've never found something I wanted to do that it wouldn't. A colleague is a dedicated android fan with a top range phone and he says the same.
I really don't get the "apple/android is shit" mentality.

 

[bennibenj]

Im not an apple person, but seen the picture of the iphone 5 - isnt it the same as the other one? must be missing something/s

no one seems 'overwhelmed' by this launch, unlike when the first ones came out

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

There are some unbelievably weak posts on here from people justifying their need for an iPhone people who can't operate an android phone out of the box must be simple?! I don't really see the need for this big divide, people who want an iPhone have one, people who didn't want one don't

Loks good to me and I can't wait to order mine on friday.
