I personally don't think they need that much more improvement on it.

What do you want it to do?

Just woke up did they change the micro sim card to the nano sim?

doesn't seem like it

not announced yet but if you want to follow :

That's true, in this day and age most major improvements have already been made.

I think the backlash is due to the inevitable hype it receives. They basically 'caught up' (if that) yet we'll have to hear from obnoxious apple users about how it's "designed for the hand" and "nobody needs NFC anyway" and "thinner is better (despite putting it in a thick ugly case) and stupid shit like that.

whats with iphones pricing
$199 for 16gb, $399 for 64gb

i bought the fastest 64GB sd card for $55 for my s3, apple wants $200 for 48GB.

these prices are circa 2007

oops i havent updated yet haha

your comparing a phone to an sd card...briliant. it's a business...they didn't become the valued company they are today selling stuff cheap

:ahwow:

Yup that is true, I am a big Apple fan but I do play with all Android phones as well.

I won't go and argue just because it doesn't have NFC it's useless. I look at it this way... This phone is suitable for me because it has features I am interested in. I will determine if this phone is suitable even though it does not have NFC. Since my BB9900 had NFC it never got used and my galaxy I only used it twice in my life. Other than that I am good.

It seems that iPhone 5 is suitable for me and it works but to other people it could be another case, there is no point comparing about whose is better, in the end it's just what is suitable for the owner.

Apple picks their words right, can make this "mid-range" wondermachine sound like the worlds greatest
but fact is, they market the phone for the end user. not for tech followers

if you want to compare strictly apples to apples then samsungs memory is still twice as cheap for built in.

then again some people will pay anything for apple, even when memory goes down in price over 5 years you're still willing the pay the exact same pricing.

And that;s the bottom line. I wish more people were sensible like you.

If the screen were bigger and I was able to install apps and tools my way, and/or the phone wasn't so damn expensive, I would consider one myself. That doesn't mean I'd get it, but I would at least consider it.

As it is, I don't want a narrow long screen. And I like to tinker with my phone, especially when it gets old. I think being able to root and tweak a phone adds at least a year to its life.

THat's me, that's you. We have different preferences, let's get along still :fullofwin:

Actually, comparison matters because without another phone to compare to, you won't know how good or bad the iphone 5 is. Without comparison, you won't know if it's worth upgrading with the money you pay. Without comparison, you won't know which phone suits you more.

Nano looks pretty cool eh, I miss using my old one haha.

no i totally agree that apple's products are priced higher...but hey, they're doing something right to make them able to price everything at that price AND have people buy their products.



I kinda like the nano though...

Nano looks great except no clip :(

That makes it totally a no-sell for me personally

Comparison for the OWNER matters not for friends and families to bitch about at a dinner table every time.

Remember you are getting a product for yourself to use and not to showoff and have arguments at EVERY DINNER.

I personally think if you're happy that matters the most... who cares about the specs as long as you are happy with it.

People will always choose a device and make sacrifices between which one to get to get the one more suitable. There is no product that is "The Perfect Device"

shit...your right

anyone see anything about the connection they using for "Lightning" ? Is it USB 3.0?

Bottom line is, I would not pay another $500 - $600 to upgrade from 4s to iphone 5. The improvements is just not THAT much.

Lots of improvements, but I would like my money to pay for features, features, features.

I wonder what the prices will be with a 3yr contract.

i wouldn't upgrade for that price either...but i sold my 4s for 450, so i'd only have to add a few bit to get a 32gb lets say?

Then don't?

Seems like to me it's not a suitable product for you since you don't see the Cost/Benefit and that is fine and nothing wrong with that.

probably same as they are currently

What you say is very true and I totally agree.

But in reality, it is human nature to look for the cheapest price for the best product. It is human nature to get their money's worth.

How would you feel if you paid $50k for a honda civic, when someone paid $50k for a acura tsx.
