      But do not buy if possible, wait for 5s.

      Apple developers are forced to submit 4 inch apps now, so soon there will be no more recent apps for iphone 4s/4.

          Sold my 4s for 200GBP Saturday and got a second hand sgs3..Its so boring to look at and screen is not as bright as my sgs2..There is so much stuff on it and pretty complex and i keep getting "memo stopped working" even after reset..It took me ages to get it set up again unlike iphone where you just restore..The trouble with titanium back up is if you get a bad app titanium will redownload all the problems making a reset and restore useless..

          Anyhow Android has its good bits but after 2 days i want an iphone back..Yes i wish it had micro sd slot for cheap memory upgrade and bluetooth transfer but ios just works and consistantly smooth even with 84 apps open(thats the maximun i have).

          I dont know what to do as new iphone due soon,,will look around second hand shops today for cheap 4 or 4s to put me on..I do this all the time i get feeling for Android buy one and stick my 64gb card in get it set up then struggle with it..I then want iphone back.

          Android phones are too big but all top of range Androids are big,4.3 inch screen with thin bezel is my maximum size..

                I am extremely disappointed in iOS 7. Like always, it just copies features from Android, gives them a new name and calls them innovations... I mean come on! What's revolutionary about Auto-updates, Unified Browser Bar and THE INNOVATIVE CONTROL CENTER??? At least stop suing the brands you steal from, show a LITTLE class...

                            Ok, the sound output volume via bluetooth of the Iphone 5 is quite low when you compare that to other phones... I am talking about when you stream music from your phone to the docking station... Why is that and is there anything I can download to help that?

                              To those who are planning to get this phone, guys Galaxy S4 is much better than iPhone 5. Try to review their specs. You can see that S4 has much more to offer for your lifestyle and entertainment interest.

                              S4 is better:
                              Quadcore CPU
                              Larger Screen size
                              Greater Graphic capability
                              Better camera than i5

                              ty to review their specs.
                              iPhone has become popular because of Jobs.
                              But now? God.. try to look at the iOS 7 which is the latest iOS, it looks like Android of something like Picassa theme.. Steve Job's unique style is missing..
                              just a comment..

                                        Oh, but they did say having "the latest version of Android". Which means the previous version is always crap and worse.

                                        iOS is fully functional, even if they stop supporting the current devices, end users still use them fine! Too bad for android users.. always go for the rooting and bricking their devices with microSD slots.
