iPhone 5 - (Now turned hate thread by android fanbois)

The mistic ball is mine and mine only

Im going on previous cases i.e the iPhone 4. You don't see many people with the S3 now do we. It's cheaply made and you can tell this.

i wouldnt say its cheaply made. if it were more solid then we would have to hear how heavy it is. its much slimmer that the iphone, has a larger screen, is cheaper...

I come into contact with around 30-40 customers a day. I got mine the first week it came out and nearly everyone has commented on how good it looks after having a play. Only those that recently splashed out on a 4s were the ones to dismiss it.  the other are ready to make the switch

Yes, lots.  Maybe you need to get out more.  Samsung is smashing it out the park at the moment.

should this just be renamed the 'iPhone 5 hate thread' then all of you who despise the fruit based products can slate to your hearts content?

I think it's simply representative of the overall consumer response to the iPhone 4.75

Let's face it, if Shady's on the turn they're really going wrong!

And we all know how Mr. Apple I am!

I have been reading into it more and I just don't get it. Larger screen was needed but I'm not sold on just making it taller. 4G was needed to keep up with other smartphones, but there is nothing special about this iPhone. Especially the fact you have to pay £25 for a bulky adaptor to allow it to work with existing accessories. That's just plain stupid.

I would take one or free, but I'm not selling my 4 and investing an additional £300 odd. I will wait until next year and enjoy what I've got. Which isn't actually all that different to the 5.

i think the reason for making it taller was to get 16:9 ratio... which would make it ideal for Air Play mirroring

i'm keeping this phone until something revolutionary happens. it does pics, vid, net, apps, video call, voice command, sat nav, it even has the pay with your phone by swiping it thing (iphone doesn't?!?!)

That's the wonderful NFC (Sign my goddamned petition!) oh and don't use it for payments yet, not until it's matured.

So what you're saying is that they're copying Samsung? 



Next year Apple with bring out an NFC or wireless charging phone, which will be revolutionary because "It's the first smartphone that can charge wirelessly" or in the case of NFC "It's the first smartphone that has contactless payment" - stocks will go through the roof, we'll all b!tch about it being the worst / coolest iPhone yet, this cycle will continue until something gives. The loop is not infinite, it's finite.

It's great if you want to muck around with turning wifi/BT/3G on/off etc (useful for getting in your car and connecting to the BT handsfree and disabling wifi stopping it sucking up your battery)
