It's iPhone 5 day. Sigh. The Internet is practically wetting itself over something we pretty much know all about already.
So, here's an open post. Comment your little hearts out. Try to keep it a tad respectful. But otherwise, have at it.
There are 548 comments. Add yours.
StuartV says:
New iPhone? *yawn*
Wake me up if it will do anything an ICS or JB Android phone can't do.
bawboh86 says:
Wake me up if it will do anything a GB phone can't do. Seriously, Apple, catch up.
Channan says:
I'd easily choose the iPhone 5 over any GB phone. However, pitting it against a JB phone is a lot harder for me. Apple knows what to focus on with hardware but their software sucks ass. I get 2-2.5 hours of screen on time with my Galaxy Nexus so the iPhone 5's 8 hours of LTE browsing has me wetting myself. Also, it'd be nice to have a top of the line camera again.
I think about the battery life, the camera, and all the apps I've invested in when I had my iPhone 3G, 3GS, and 4 and I really want the iPhone 5. But then I think about how much better JB is than iOS 6, how easy it is to get free tethering without even rooting, and how awesome Google's services are and it's really not an easy choice.
I'm going to at least wait for the next Nexus announcement before I make a decision. Hopefully Google puts their main focus on battery life and sticks a good camera in it too. If battery life still sucks and/or it doesn't come to Verizon, I'm going to buy an iPhone 5.
WhateverBlah says:
You know you can buy an extra battery on amazon for ten bucks right? A simple replaceable battery is a feature that truly gets over looked.
Channan says:
I have a spare battery that I rarely ever have with me because it's one more thing to carry around and charge. People like to brag about replaceable batteries with Android phones but I never needed to swap out the battery in any of my iPhones. They all lasted me all day and I never had to worry about it. It would be nice if my Nexus was the same way because that's the main thing I envy about the iPhone.
LiquidBreadMan says:
Well, my S3 doesn't have that kind of battery life issue. I'm perfectly happy with it's performance, and from Apple's point of view, with 20 million S3's sold so far, and an expectation of 30 million, that is the phone to beat.
Apple is playing catch-up here, and not doing a very good job at it.
still1 says:
and it has extra rows of icons. Most revolutionary 5th row with icons
mn1225 says:
Didn't you know they invented the 5th row? LauncherPro, ADW and GoLauncher had better lookout for the forthcoming lawsuit.
Joshmccullough says:
Beat me to the "I'll bet they try and claim that patent/sue everyone" comment!
amadeus.clowergen says:
Actually Apex, Nova and Google etc. as well.
bawboh86 says:
Z.O.M.G. I NEEDZ THIS NAO!
BrianT says:
I'll take the one with the geebees and wifis
jsmuli2 says:
Honestly though - I don't know why HTC Sense hasn't given us the option to make it 5 rows already. Srsly, I'd use their Launcher if it had that.
TenshiNo says:
Agreed. I run a custom ROM (MeanICS) on my 3vo that has this feature enabled, but if you're not willing to root and unlock it, you'll have to go with a 3rd party launcher like Nova.
mstraw9379 says:
they will patent the number '5' and the word 'row'.
If you ever use either one again expect a lawsuit.
still1 says:
One more item added to Apple copied from Android, panorama mode.
Ironzey says:
The first time I saw panorama on an Android device was way back on the Galaxy S. So I guess we could say that Apple copied it from Samsung. Great artists....
AlecKyle says:
Yeeehaaa because panorama mode NEVER existed before android! Go google!
BrianT says:
Which history has shown will in NO WAY stop Apple from suing somebody over it. Nice try at sarcasm though...
LiquidBreadMan says:
And rectangles with rounded corners never existed befor the iPod.
And the concept of pinching something to make it smaller
And a single search bar to search for everything
And...
joebob2000 says:
That depends on how well it works: if it is really an artifact-free, high-megapixel image file then no they didnt copy that from Android, they trumped that from android. The current state of panorama on android (up to and including the SGS3) is operational, but lackluster.
chrisbechicken says:
The panorama mode on my One S is awesome, and the one on my dad's SGS3 is pretty good too.
Incitatus says:
Panorama on my SGS3 is wonderful. I tried it while on my trip to Mt. Rainier and was highly impressed, and I am a photographer.
SooksVI says:
Panorama on my EvoLTE works great. It's detailed and convenient, but if I ever really wan't quality I'd just pull out my DSLR.
speculatrix says:
Install dmd pano
It rocks
clarksandholtz says:
The panorama feature on the ASUS Transformer Prime and Infinity Pad looks great!
Alex1x says:
Say that to an Apple sheep, lol.
So, 1 of my buddies posted on his FB page about the incredible iPhone5 he played with (his buddy is an apple engineer and we live in the heart of Silicon Valley "he didn't give source name or details and he's very credible" he doesn't bluff) and he was sooo excited... He kept saying wait til I see it... Well, all I can think about is a sheep... Seriously, wtf is going on? The ONLY good I can say about an iPhone has always been the camera... I put the hype of iPhone5 & Motorola in the disappointed category, although I consider moto a better phone.
iSheep says: WOOOHOOOO, WOOOW, DAMMNNN 5th row UI change crazy hot wetness.
I say: Old news and agree with the sheep, iPhone is the sickest "sh#t" EVER, stick with yours AND I'll stick with mine (believe me and try it, reverse psychology works lol).
Good stuff: When do you guesstimate Samsung LTE lawsuit? I say by October 1st.
theone33 says:
yes it's new.......... To them anyway...lol
amadeus.clowergen says:
I'm pretty sure Apple invented it. Well, Android and other code doesn't work on iPhones anyway, so there's no prior art.
Benny_Bumlum says:
Wake me up when it launch with JB
XavierMatt says:
EXACTLY. THIS.
frozencloud says:
"This is the biggest thing to happen to iPhone since the iPhone."
the screen's bigger =)
still1 says:
haha
AnnDroid says:
Finally. My 2-year old EVO has a larger display that this 'new' iphone.
Hand_O_Death says:
Hammer, meet head of nail. Well done.
Androidopensour... says:
Oh no! You just go Samsunged! Lol
Spazmonic says:
Its funny to go to the Apple sites and all the people that made comments that they wont get it if it looks like the leaked pix are all saying they cant wait to get it now.
hodedofome says:
It doesn't matter how nice they say the screen looks on the iPhone 5, or how thin and light it is, it will always look crappier and be larger than a Galaxy S3.
How you say? Take your phone and drop it. Accidents happen to everyone, and everyone had dropped their phone. Now that snazzy iPhone looks like junk with a shattered screen. S3? Apart from a few scratches on the bezel, looks just fine.
"But I use a case on my iPhone that protects the screen..." Great, now that "small, thin, light" iPhone is now a gigantic Zack Morris smartphone. Not pretty anymore.
IMO, an unshattered, caseless S3 is always going to look better than a shattered/ottercrap iPhone.
tfp says:
Since when is the S3 "unshatterable" as you claim it?
I can prove to you that is the exact opposite! Within a month of owning it, my nephew had dropped his from his lap when standing up, dropped maybe 3.5-4 feet max, guess what happened? The screen SHATTERED!!! Same thing happened to my nieces S2 the year before. So, please, before you claim something, get your facts straight.
BlackBerry By Choice!
Incitatus says:
Blackberry by choice = AMC Pacer by choice.
c4v3man says:
I got a Blackberry Playbook for free for porting my android app... was nice as long as you wanted to use the browser, for a while anyways before it crashed. Everything else sucked, including native apps. Got $140 for it, and applied it to a Nexus 7... money well spent.
Blackberry is great for people who want a feature phone, but are afraid of using a smartphone.
Ajmdve says:
i have dropped my samsung galaxy s1 many times and it only have some marks on corners... the screen is still great!
joebob2000 says:
It is interesting (like you point out) that of all the iPhone users I know (and I know a shit ton of them) probably only 1 in 20 actually uses the phone without some sort of super fugly rubber ring/shell/casing/armor around it. Wow, the iPhone 5 is 1.1 mm thinner? Great, because that means i can get 1.1 mm more ugly ass case crammed into my pocket!
Apple doesn't realize that only the "true" loyalists want a phone that is physically flawless but completely inept at surviving in the real world. All the rest of their customers just want something that won't shatter til they are done with their contract.
nsmith says:
I've always said that. I've been using Android since the OG Droid, and I love the durability, but I've finally decided to make the switch to the darkside, only because I'm tired of getting updates months later, and the awful battery life.
I don't plan to use a case on my iPhone 5, but I rarely drop my phone, so I hope that's good enough.
sting7k says:
I've seen a GSIII break dude, all phones with glass can break if it lands right. I've seen iPhones survive dozens of falls and be fine and at the same time I've seen them break the first drop. It's luck of draw.
MrStylz says:
I've seen broken S3's and broken GNexus...also plenty of dropped iPhones. In my experience, the difference is that the Samsung screens are still usable and quite readable with a few cracks from top to bottom. You drop an iPhone the wrong way and it's completely balls shattered, or if it's not, give it another week or another drop and it spiderwebs. Yea, luck of the draw, but odds are in your favor with non-Apple screens.
speculatrix says:
I sometimes referred to them as iOrnaments.
You wouldn't carry round a crystal glass jug of water with you everywhere eg jogging, you take a plastic bottles and leave the crystal jug home to be looked at unused as an ornament.
idaheckler says:
OMG yo!! OMG! Apple you really need a upgraded processor with that outdated single-tasking OS?? Really yo really!??
are your developers that lazy in lieu or tweeking the os they just stick in a faster processor as to sync iTune to your home computer....
Are we AMERICANS such idiots that some of us will be standing in line as to LEAVE NO OS BEHIND?? OMG OGM OMG OGM!!
Im dont thank you!
mitchstehlin says:
were you intoxicated at the time you posted this lol
bpro2000 says:
I liked the "Stevo Hologram" idea.
Pretty much a non-event. The FanBoys will spin it into the greatest advancement of smartphone technology EVER! 200 new features??? I bet rounded corners of icons is one of them - there now roundier!
VAVA Mk2 says:
+1 I LOL'd
Jamaicanbob says:
I think everybody here has missed the point. In my opinion, the iPhone 5 is not about beating Android on features and specs. It's about establishing the iPhone as the ONLY premium brand. We've all seen this phone design before! It's not new! So that naturally leads us to question if Apple has run out of ideas or if they are not innovative anymore? Hardly! They're still tops at innovating, but they are also very clever at marketing. I believe this design will define the look of the iPhone going forward. It will create distinction between it and the competition. It will strengthen the brand in consumer's minds and establish it as the ONLY premium brand. At that level, you don't compete on specs and features. You compete on mindset. People will see or hear about it and want it! Even more than they do now. Again, Apple is playing by their own rules.
robotaholic says:
It is illogical to not give consideration to the specs of the device. When the specs of your device aren't so great, your only option is to not focus on them.
Also, how is Apple innovating again? The newest iOS just now got search from address bar in Safari and the ability to attach files to the default email application. In fact, it appears that Apple's idea of innovation includes copying features from other operating systems..
theone33 says:
NO,NO,NO apple did it 1st in 1977, when cook woke from his dream...
JohnBPrice says:
To someone who does consider the specs, it seems illogical, but I think you missed Jamaicanbob's point there. Most people who buy iProducts don't understand or care about the actual specs. They buy what is "perceived" as the best, premium, leading product. Apple's innovation and Steve Job's genius was the marketing skill to take so-so technology and successfully convince the public it is the best, most popular, and coolest technology to have.
kjjb0204 says:

cashxx says:
Polished UI and no lag is enough for me!
BrianT says:
While reading this post, I couldn't help but hear that old jingle from Saturday Night Live...."Lowered Expectaaationnnns".
Thanks, but my Evo LTE's UI is smooth as butter (even without JB) and as polished as I choose it to be, and it will still do more than this already outdated piece of hardware.
VAVA Mk2 says:
Oh I see you are a fan of Jelly Bean too!
gowild00 says:
Last time I checked, iPhone = iTunes. is there a crappier, slower, worse written piece of software out there? It makes HP's printer and scanner software look absolutely brilliant and that's saying something!
mitchstehlin says:
well said. iTunes is purely unusable
elslunko says:
If you haven't already been disappointed, you probably won't be again.
VAVA Mk2 says:
If you haven't already been disappointed, you probably won't be ever.

LegalAmerican says:
I'm actually not anti iPhone. iPhones are good little devices that have a lot to offer. However, I am VERY anti Apple culture. I am so tired of the pompous apple disciples that think that the iPhone is innovating things that Android users have enjoyed for years. Today I read a thread over at iMore where some guy was asking if people want a wider iPhone. But he said: "Fan boys will say to just get Android, but I don't want it wide like THAT". And that illustrates perfectly the 'head in the sand' mentality that so many Apple Disciples have. I love seeing what Apple offers, and I am very excited to see it. However, I will then use my 4G LTE on my Android after the announcement while Apple lovers crap themselves waiting for it to be released and available. It's just so senseless to me. If you want something, go look for it. Android already offers what you are looking for, you just have to accept it and swallow that pompous Apple pride.
Mr. Wiggles says:
I agree with everything you just said. It's not that I hate the iPhone, it's that I hate that people think they're better than you because they own one. Not to say that everyone who owns an iPhone feels that way, but I've come across it way too many times to not be disgruntled.
deadpenguins says:
+1. I'd also like to add that it irritates me that people can be so naive about the technology that's all around them, which leads to the whole "Apple is revolutionary" concept.
LegalAmerican says:
Exactly. I mean if Apple was truly the company that people say it is, I would SERIOUSLY consider switching to them over Android. But the reason I stick to Android is because I have learned from EXPERIENCE that Android offers more, and it is more effective. I don't need a senseless conversation with my phone as it tells me it's opinions on global warming. I need a phone that actually helps make my work easier. I have friends. I don't need my phone to be my friend. My phone is a tool in my hand, and Android makes the best tools. By far. iPhone is great, but in my experience, it seems to fit high school girls way better than adults of either gender that have real responsibility.

TenshiNo says:
All of my internets for today to you, sir. Very well spoken, and I agree 100%.
I don't hate the iPhone (even though I don't care for it) but I do hate the mentality that Apple creates through their marketing. Their entire marketing engine revolves around "be special: buy an iPhone".
It's ridiculous to me, reading some of the coverage on the Apple event today when they say things like "a 4" retina display, providing even more pixels!" Well, of course, it's "more" pixels, there's "more" screen, but the actual resolution is exactly the same. The theme of deceptive "specs" preying on the technology illiterate is irritating to me. I get that the "non-tech-savvy" is their target market, but don't put up comparisons like this:
Galaxy S3 Battery: 1800mah
iPhone 5 Battery: 8 hours
I mean, if you don't *want* to tell us how big the battery is, don't just "invent" numbers, because those of us with 1/4 of a brain know that "8 hours" is meaningless in the real world. They make all these claims that it's the "most advanced phone on the planet" while making it literally impossible to prove this claim. You don't want to give us the actual specs on the CPU, graphics or battery? Fine. But you can't just pull numbers out of [you know where] and compare specs with other phones in an attempt to appear superior and expect those of us who know better to keep our mouths shut. Simple as that.
I did really love the line from the release about how they "pioneered" putting the LTE into the A6 SoC. Really? Don't tell that to Samsung or HTC because the S4 had that more than 6 months ago and nVidia has versions of the Tegra3 coming out now with LTE built in that they've been working on since the beginning of the year.
It's one thing to "up talk" your product. It's something else entirely to outright lie and play upon the ignorance of the market.
/RANT - Sorry for the length. Got carried away :)

THANK YOU +1,000,000,000
theone33 says:
+1000000000 and more
RoboWarrior says:
If the rumours are correct, then they did "pioneer" fitting the LTE chip on a A-15 architecture. Unless Apple is doing something special, they do have the only phone that has the same battery size as the 4S and increasing battery life with a new faster processor with LTE.
mitchstehlin says:
"iPhone is great, but in my experience, it seems to fit high school girls way better than adults of either gender that have real responsibility." <---- perfection.
sdchris says:
What? You don't like people who put apple stickers on the backs of their cars like they are in some cool hipster club? You don't say. ;)
Eric-VTX says:
It's just like people who ride Harley Davidsons...They won't give the time of day if you don't ride anything but Harley!!! Iphone people are the same, they don't even care to even look at what Android has to offer cause they feel nothing is better than Iphone...I can't say everyone is like that but allot of the majority feel that way!
just like the Harley Davidson guy would look at you and say I ride an American bike? But yet their daily vehicle is a Toyota Tundra??? LOL
jgrmsmith says:
I ride a Harley, drive a Chevy and use an Android.
Sorry to mess up your analogy.
CSI Guy says:
I rode Harleys for years, then got a Android and a Rice Burner. The world is round again. Long live Android.
BigTex says:
Your analogy is weak. I drive a VW, ride a Harley and use an HTC One X
reactortrip says:
Nothing says douche like a harley. Love that south park episode on them. BRAH BRAH BRAH BRAH! Get out of the way, you are holding real motorcyclists up....

For a split second, I thought you were making a joke. Then I remembered Kawasaki makes a sport bike called the Ninja :)
mitchstehlin says:
everyone was so quick to discredit his analogy haha I can see both sides
cashxx says:
I have to disagree....its having a phone with a polished UI that doesn't lag or to unfreeze it you have to pull the battery, etc. That is the difference, its not about thinking iPhone users are better than Android users, its not having the bugginess of open source solutions. Sure you have far more options, but some people just want a smartphone that works and is easy to use and offers you most options that you need with a simple choice of picking the phone for your needs. No one is better than the next person, I don't think that is what you are seeing is iPhone users thinking they are better than you are. I have seen it here with our IT Director, we all had Android phones and they all blew up about the same time. Others went Android and some of us went to the iPhone once it was released on Verizon and my boss loves it, no lockups, etc. iOS has some issues with my biggest grip of not being able to mount it on OS X like a removable drive, etc. But for the most part the UI is easy on they eyes, easy to use, no lockups and usually just works.
Tom S. says:
Doesn't lag? Huh? Try watching a video and hitting the home button and try to swipe to another screen. Chug..chug..chug. While playing a game, hit the home button and swipe a screen..chug..chug. This myth about iOS having no lag is nonsense. Every OS has lag. I know a developer for iOS, who says that it has just as many problems as Android.
VAVA Mk2 says:
Dude I have an iPod Touch 3rd gen which I got before my first Android and it too had software crashes and times I needed to reboot the damn thing. Apple is not perfect despite what they want people to think. As for lag, JB makes that no longer an issue.
cmandd says:
If you think the iPhone doesn't lock up, I will gladly take that bet. Say $1 for every customer I deal with that has had an iPhone either freeze or shut down and not power on? The only solution? A soft reset (ie: a simulated battery pull)
mitchstehlin says:
iOS lags and glitches just as much as the next OS. witnessed it on my iphone 3G and my friends 4s as seen in the picture.
JohnBPrice says:
You are all missing Cashxx's point. If you want a product that is "easy on they eyes, easy to use, no lockups and usually just works.", if you don't need any of the features in android, and have bucks to spare (or someone else is paying for it in this case), then the iPhone is great. It is polished (and shiny), it is popular, it feels good in your hand, its functionality is good enough. Those are the key decision points.
omgabunny says:
Thank you for an intelligent and respectful post. I feel ashamed at times reading the rants and anti-Apple comments I see. I sometimes wonder how people are so narrow minded and feign intelligence.
theone33 says:
well this is ANDROIDCENTRAL........ If you want apple fans go to apple.com
VAVA Mk2 says:
Actually read through all the comments and comparisons of devices. They are valid. Sorry if you disagree, but this iPhone really is playing catch up to a bunch of stuff Android has been doing for quite some time and not going beyond that. This announcement really brought nothing new to the table.
joebob2000 says:
I just love how the audience applauded the new "all digital connector" design... Much to Apple's delight, it's still proprietary and they will likely be charging $39 for a simple cable. Not sure how customers could be remotely excited about this proposition. Micro USB is "all digital" and accessories are cheap and plentiful. Guess you have to hand it to the Apple culture for embracing such a pompous decision.
toolman82 says:
it is reversible, which actually really nice. but otherwise it is pompous
TechGuy21 says:
And their new connector could be half the width if it wasn't reversible.
cashxx says:
I think they should have went standard and did the micro usb, but people are fools if they are paying Apple's prices. Can get the same cables on monoprice or watch slickdeals for a 4-pack or so for like $2.
And I really don't like the Micro USB either, its flimsy and doesn't plug in tightly. Looking at the new Apple plug it looks like its going to have the same issues. One nice thing it doesn't matter which way you plug it in, I hope it has a tight fit as well.
VAVA Mk2 says:
Freaking everything but Apple now uses Micro USB. What is not to like? It makes cables cheap and easy to get!
voiceonly says:
Some of the iPhone fan base is to the smartphone community, the same way that Harley fans are to the motorcycling community.
Some of them are stuck up ignoramus's that think their phone/ride don't stink and the rest are beneath them.
belfast_tmy says:
That's not accurate at all. "Some" people doesn't equate to an entire user-base being stuck-up or ignorant. With phones or bikes. Never met a rider I wouldn't talk to, regardless of build. Never met a phone I didn't like, either. Company culture? That's another story... ;)
cashxx says:
Well it sounds like you are anti apple so aren't you the same for sticking up for Android? Everyone has a favorite in something.
Fanderay says:
You are so right. Such people have ruined Apple products for the rest of us. At this point I don't think I could ever buy an Apple device without feeling like I was joining a cult.
Thankfully, I like the current non-Apple offerings better anyways :)
Cyber Akuma says:
I know the feeling. I once had a customer ask me "So, the iPhone is the best phone, right?" and was shocked when I told him there was no best phone and the best fit would depend on what you would use your phone for. He was even more shocked to the point of refusing to believe when I told him other phones have features the iPhone does not or are more advanced.
Another time someone wanted to buy several iPhones for himself and the employees of his company, and told me he didn't really care about the phone itself, but just wanted customers to see all his employees sporting iPhones.
Lots of people fall for all the marketing hype and never even stop to think the iPhone isn't the most advanced device on the planet. Or, they do but still want an iPhone just as a status symbol, because its an Apple product.
alaxsxaq says:
I have to agree. Apple makes nice software and the iOS stuff works well, but, after recently switching over to Android with a Galaxy Nexus (replaced a 3GS) and a Nexus 7 (replaced a first gen iPad), I feel like I gained a lot and lost nothing. Today's announcements nicely reinforce that feeling.
Apple's problem is that what has led to their success is a constraint on their ability to truly innovate - there is only so much change that your loyal customer base can tolerate. The Android market's success is that they can constantly seek innovation and invent new paradigms. The Nexus 7 is a great example - build a great 7" tablet and see what happens - sometimes great things do. Apple can't do this - if they had built a small iPad and it flopped, the stock price takes a dive and the existing customer base is irritated and panic sets in. Unfortunately, when that happens (Microsoft), often times, there is nowhere to go but down - sounds like a great short play.
VAVA Mk2 says:
The small iPad gets its own event in a few weeks. They are releasing one despite Steve Jobs comment that 7" is stupid (just like he said phones over 3.5" were stupid...I am sure before he died he had a major part in planning iPhone 5)
kerrins says:
I also agree. I like the iPhone , I still like my Galaxy S3 better but iPhone's are fine. What bothers me is how Apple has treated others in the market and the claim that all innovations begin with Apple. I wish they would stop with the whole patent war stuff, I wish they would stop with rounded corners, rectangles and the number 280.. Some things are just generic and everyone should be allowed to use it. That's why I like android. It's open to anyone.
VAVA Mk2 says:
I have the same view. I have respect for Apple's products and are great for some people (like my sisters and parents who are not as tech savvy), but it is their behavior which completely turns me off from their products, not the products themselves.
ugaco07 says:
At some point some people started to base their identities around their electronics. All of those folks, whether they use Apple products or otherwise, need to take a step back and unplug a bit.
And I say this as someone who has pretty much nothing but Apple hardware in our family, devices should be used based on their ease of use and utility. I'm not sure when it became perceived that phones are a status symbol...but they're not. The absurdity of that is only outmatched by the unabridged passion that some users have in defense of their product of choice. Probably just the inherent desire to justify the purchases made, but it is annoying nonetheless.
TenshiNo says:
Well said. You have a better sense of self-worth than many, but sadly there are a *lot* of iPhone owners who are proud of nothing other than the fact that they own an iPhone. That's not to say that there aren't people like that using non-iPhones, but it seems much more prevalent with iPhone owners. And, in all honesty, it's not all Apple's fault. They started out their marketing with this "it's hip" mentality and it's kind of snowballed from there.
Love your phone. That's cool. I love mine. But that doesn't mean that all other phones are crap.
sting7k says:
Is it any better here at Android Central? Look at the guy a few posts above claiming the GS3 is unbreakable and all iPhones break on the first drop. Come on...it goes both ways.
corkey723 says:
+1. This is my exact issue with the Apple brand as a whole. If everyone here hated the iPhone noone would have watched they keynote today. Im am happy to see them upgrade the phone but I just don't understand the logic some of them have. All my friends said the screen on their iPhone 4 was the perfect size that anything bigger was "too huge". But today, they all say they are so happy for a bigger screen. sigh, now ill have to listen all week about how much greater and innovative the iPhone 5 is than all other phones. Ill stick with my GNex. Thank you.
TenshiNo says:
I watch cause it's funny seeing Apple say they "invented" everything while touting tech that I'm like "Really? That wasn't in the iPhone already? That's been around since before the last phone launched." :)
Wireless N and LTE come to mind.
rikfu3000 says:
I love the way you express your opinions. On the flip side though, are you anti Android culture as well? Do you hate the pompous Android disciples that thinks that every iPhone user is dumb and believes that Apple created the world? Do you hate the pompous Android disciples that believe every single iPhone user is a iSheep that bowed down to Steve Jobs's every word and now worships Tim Cook?
That's the thing that people don't seem to understand. Your hate for people who like Apple products are turning you into a culture that is very similar to the Apple culture that you despise. Using terms like iFan and iSheep is over generalizing people who like Apple products. Think about it, we are participating in a discussion board that has the single purpose is to talk negative about iPhone lol.
So honestly, I think the anti Apple culture is just as bad as the Apple culture.
TenshiNo says:
I don't think his comments were intended to include "all" Apple users. Indeed, even the terms you mention "iFan" and "iSheep" were created specifically to refer to those people who act as he describes, not "all" iPhone users.
It's not an "anti-Apple" culture. It's an anti-Apple-fanatic culture :)
rikfu3000 says:
Yep. You are correct and see what you're saying :)
LegalAmerican says:
I dislike ANYONE who is pompous based on their possessions instead of who they are. I don't care if they are Apple, Android, RIM, or Windows fans. My point is, that from my experience, the Apple culture is the most severe. If that isn't your experience, that's great. I'm the one that typed the comment, so I'm the one voicing MY experiences.
I absolutely do not have hate for people who love Apple. My father in law, mother in law, 2 sisters in law, 2 brothers in law, ALL use iPhones. And I still love them. It isn't the phone or the person I hate. It's the mentality that they belong to some privileged group because of what they text with and make calls with. Again, I am not accusing all iPhone users of doing this. If you are not an Apple disciple in that sense, then I clearly am not accusing you. But maybe now is a good time for everyone to maintain that perspective and be a little more cautious how you come off when you blindly follow a company without doing research on what else is out there. Honestly, if this phone was released last year I probably would have gotten it. But now, I have seen that Android is leaps and bounds ahead of Apple in many ways.
You are also generalizing me, while accusing me of generalizing apple users. I never mentioned Tim Cook, iSheep, iFan, or anything like it. Don't try to guilt trip me for something I never did while you yourself are guilty.
rikfu3000 says:
Hey dude, no need to get emotional. You clarified your statements and I understand where you're coming from now. I didn't generalize you at all and never accused you of generalizing anyone. I didn't say that you were the one who said iSheep or iFan or any of those stupid cliches. I asked if you dislike those people they generalize iPhone users as well as people that blindly follow Apple. The first sentence in your second statement answers my questions so I understand your perspective now.
I just reread my previous post and I used the word's "you" and "your". So I now see how you thought I was targeting you, that wasn't my intentions at all.
JohnBPrice says:
@LegalAmerican, aw, go ahead and vent, it IS an Anti-iPhone thread, no need to be even and fair, for example
"What's the best kind of iPhone? A broken one! HA HA, Oh wait, then they are all the best."
@Rikfu3000 RE: "anyone remotely interested and truthful about mobile devices" shouldn't expect such truth in this thread.
corkey723 says:
Trust me, I cant stand Android followers that are like this too. Biggest difference is Android users dont necessarily worship the phone like the Iphone folks do, its more of a following on the OS since we have such a huge selection of phones with different sizes, shapes, colors, screens, hardware. I dont have a hate for people who like the iPhones, some of them have good reasons, they want a simple OS, they like the smaller screen and some have to have them for work purposes.
So in retrospect, its not the iSheep that I only hate, its the crazies who follow any product with no desire to learn the differences and similarities in the competing products, but instead have tunnel vision thinking their product is gods gift to the world.
PS: Ive been looking at that new Lumia 920 phone, love the phone, still unsure of the OS, but dont tell anyone. LONG LIVE ANDROID! :P
rikfu3000 says:
I see what you're saying and I agree with what you're saying. I used Android for about 2 years and gave the iPhone a try. The main reason why I'm staying with the iPhone for now is I'm addicted to productivity apps like Omnifocus and Due and I can't quite find equivalents in Google Play. In the ideal world (aka me having a lot of money), I would have an iPhone in my left hand, and an One X in the other lol.
PS: I think anyone remotely interested and truthful about mobile devices recognize that the Lumia 920 is an absolute beast of a phone. I think that's the one thing Android and iOs users can all agree on lol.

Dude... click on your name and go to your account page. Right at the top it says this:
"Member for 6 weeks 1 day"
So, either you're lying through your teeth about how long you've been on this site, or you've been banned and created a new account and you shouldn't be here at all.
Either way: most people here, their problem isn't with the iPhone or Apple. It's with Apple claiming to have "invented" technology that's been around for years and then suing all the companies that use that technology (even if they were using it first). And it's with the iSheep that run around claiming that "Android sux" when they've never even touched an Android-based phone and they just think that anyone who doesn't own an iPhone is a second-class citizen.
You might laugh at that, but there are a *lot* of iPhone users like that out there. And most of them are not afraid to tell you what they think of you. It gets tiring. My father has an iPhone, and he loves it. But he knows I love my Android phone. We don't preach to each other. We respect each other's preference.
Unfortunately, contempt often breeds contempt.

joebob2000 says:
Apparently, enough to do with it to distract you from Macrumor.com to come troll over here... Seriously, the thing that's funny about Apple launches is how thick they lay on the complete bull**** marketing speak, with a straight face. Seriously, ten minutes talking about how "it's the best phone we have ever made, so beautiful, so perfect, so engineered, and so... just... splendiferous!" Gag me. Give the specs, show some live demos, and then GTFO. The fact that apple drones eat this stuff up so heartily is what we all chuckle to ourselves about. It's not an inside joke, it's just a joke you don't get.

The only people who are really all that excited about it are the tech bloggers. It gives them something to speculate wildly about for months before the fact, something to gush over at release time, something to compare like apples and oranges (should you buy an iPhone 5 or a manual typewriter? Our experts help you decide!) and something to sneeringly deride for months after. Then the cycle repeats. It's called job security.

I'm not anti-iPhone, but I AM against Apple culture. I hate it when Apple people go out of their way to come up to ME and tell me my Galaxy Note is too big and looks funny when talking on it, then I show them something cool on it and they get jealous, kind of like when you beat a guy at the traffic light and he zips past you because you were faster to get to the speed limit.
iPhone has its place, and I can't say I'm Android for life either, but I love OPEN SOURCE.
Apple Fanboys have an argument that being the first isn't always best, and that's fine, but:
1. Apple takes TOO long to catch up
2. When they do implement these things they act like THEY invented it
I can't support that. I mean come on, iOS6 finally has the ability to natively decline a phone call and reply with a text. I was doing this on my Sidekick in the mid-2000s.
That's my beef with Apple. If they leave me alone then I'm fine. I left my iPhone for an inferior Motorola Cliq, and even then I was happier. Open Source is what I love. I am OPEN SOURCE for life.

There is a Fujitsu phone that was released in January 2012, it is 6.7 mm and it is waterproof and has a TV tuner. It is also a 4" LCD, although it is only an entry Android phone.

yungfreshg20 says:
Dude seriously I've owned both phones droid and apple. I can honestly say I jail broke my phone like crazy because I wanted freedom to do whatever I wanted with my cell phone apple has yet to embrace that simple concept since the first iPhone which is why the best phone is one that comes with awesome hardware a software platform that allows you to let the phone be truly yours. When you buy a droid no two phones ever have to look alike however every iPhone u open up looks exactly alike. Plus as others have stated the iPhone Really doesn't have amazing new features outside of its processor and display everything else is just something I've had on my droid since as far as I can remember. If you want the truth apples real reason for success is its market and the 3rd party Dev support. If the same devs backed Google as much as they do apple we wouldn't be having this convo today. And the devs keep producing more items for the apple market because most apple users are gull able and will but useless apps for no reason.. I can't count how many times I've been shown a useless app that got tons of purchases all because its on the iPhone. Wake up buddy apple is playing catch-up and they only have the 3rd party devs to thank for their continued growth

Since they are gonna steal more Android ideas and innovations, about a real back button and a menu button?

However in Apple's defense, they DO engineer nice hardware, though you have to be willing to pay.. pay.. pay and then pay some more. And the iP5 is going to need to be pretty spectacular to one up the GS3 and other Android phones, not to mention iOS 6 will also need to be amazing when compared to Jelly Bean with Google Now.
