What are the benefits of quad core? IPhone 5 is already fastest phone out there. Its superfast, i dont see that much sense to add 4 cores. More important is adding better and better GPU, and thats apple has been doing.
"And no brand name at the front like local manufacturers(micromax, karbonn)"
Theres good reason for this, its distracting element, for apple devices its all about screen. Smooth black or white bezel without anything more. So you only see the screen and not annoying texts like samsung or nokia etc. I dont understand why they put that name on front of their devices. Well maybe i do, apple already already have iconic homescreen button so everyone knows what phone is iPhone and what tablet is IPad.

The board should have done this a year ago. Still appy has only 4 inch screen. Pity. And only dual core. Very pity. And no brand name at the front like local manufacturers(micromax, karbonn). Very very pity. Overall when you look at a iphone, it looks like a local toy. Good work by Apple Board. Should have done this before.

Android lags not cause what manufacturer puts on there skin but the weak CPU they use that can't even push what they use. So blame the S600 Crap dragon not Android OEMS. ™
The first iPhone was a feat of innovation, a well achieved combination of tech, that was as far as innovation took them, the rest that followed was a "cool" design (not without setbacks) and software mainly, and now the brand is losing its shine, they are gambling with cheap versions to increase or try to maintain their margins. Although cheap, this version will probably have the best reception of all models compared to their milled aluminum enclosure ones.
Its a mixed message, "now we have a cheaper one" buy it, but would other snobs look down on you for being cheap??? Apple came to be (wrongly) associated to an important part of its customer base as a status brand, they are lowering the bar.

Come on apple
Its time for a bigger display
At least 4.7
Guys, stop arguing!
Apple and Samsung are just as big as each other.
They are just as popular as each other.
They are 2 different companys making different phones for different types of people.
Apple phones dont cost more, there flagship is the same cost of an S4, why do people not understand this?
iPhones have a small range but they focus on the few select phones they have. Smaller screen, nice materials and simple user interface.
Samsung appeal to the masses, HUGE selection of phones, large screens, more personalised options to choose from.
Neither are better, personal preferance!
Pressure on CEO...?!?! What for?
Apple perform well on smartpjone market.
One single product against Androkid army and with excellent result.
Tim is between board and Steve legacy.
I'm sure IOS7 will be a succes.
iPhone is a sinking ship, so much so to the point where its actually funny :)

http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/tech-myths/5-myths-about-apple5.htm
Even then it has been modified again once it has been cracked.
With apple you get all the apple bloat, syncing, dupicating files per each application etc... so you double up on space.
People are most definitely not in denial, its all Apple that to this deliberately to piss tech users off, it then gets blogged about and trickles down to the mainstream.. people catch on eventually and apple wanted to milk it while they could. Plain and simple.

But like Blackberry, you can plug in an Android to any computer and just browse it without the need of any software.
The Android lag is mostly the crap the manufacturers put on top.
Go use a Nexus 4 and you'll see, pure Android 4.2 is buttery smooth. And battery life is pretty much the same as any other phone.

This hatred of iTunes it way overblown.
I hardly ever use iTunes.
The only 1 thing I can say is ridiculous and something that Apple hasn't changed is custom ringtones.
Now THAT you guys can criticize and ill back you up. Other than that, iTunes isn't an issue at all. I can't even remember the last time I plugged in this phone to my computer. And if I want to get pictures out I don't need iTunes. The iPhone loads up the pictures in "My Computer" and you can get them from there.
TheNeighbor, 12 Aug 2013Uh, you haven't heard of downloading? How about connecting directly to a portable hard disk? ... moreBoth iOS and Android can work with or without PC/Mac OR Syncing
Both iOS and Android support drag and drop on PC/Mac, via DiskAid, Android Transfer, MTP, etc etc
Both iOS and Android have cloud services.
People who say each other do not have the features DID not use both platforms long enough or is in denial.
I use both platforms, and i know both are equally capable. Only downside is .. android lags and drain unnecessary battery, thats why iOS is more desirable in the mobile world for me.
TheNeighbor, 12 Aug 2013Uh, you haven't heard of downloading? How about connecting directly to a portable hard disk? ... moreUh no.
If you know how to read, when I posted (the one you replied to), I said "if you have thousands of songs on playlists how will you put them into your android phone"
I never said anything about downloading music.
I still can't see how any of your methods are easier than someone plugging a phone and clicking a Sync button and waiting a minute.
Why is that so hard for you?
