First time user of iPhone 5 after many years of being a Blackberry user. Wish I was a little more patient and waited for the BB Z10. Mechanically the iPhone is great but software wise it is well short of expectation. Battery lasts a day at best.No file manager for starters and the list goes on. A huge disappointment after all the media hype. Common Apple, give the consumer what they want instead of milking us at every opportunity , iTunes et al !!!! Disgusted

    iPhone is definitely the best phone in the market.It has a better app store than Android's Google Play.I tried using my cousin's Samsung Galaxy Ace Duos and when I tried to download Temple Run,a bunch of useless apps came with the Temple Run download.It really sucks.And also,when I tried surfing Facebook on it (My cousin didn't download the official Facebook app because she said it takes too much memory,which I understand so I decided to use the built-in Internet app instead.) And it lags like HELL! I'm not used to surf on lag devices so,I closed the app.What brags me the most is that my non-Android phone,Samsung Corby II (This is a budget phone) surfs smoother than her Android device although there's like 4 apps running in the background.I also tried my friend's iPhone 5 and it doesn't lag at all! :D

                  GG, 07 May 2013Please check the specification clearly its 4up(ultra pixel) not 4mp...you check the specification clearly not me:

                  http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4910&idPhone2=5313

                  your HTC ONE "ultra pixel" has only 2688x1520 pixels resolution, versus 8MP of iphone 5 with 3264x2448 pixels resolution(almost double the HTC one's RESOLUTION) clearly that the iphone 5 has a larger pixel resolution than your one (cant even beat the lumia 720 in low light which is mid range phone). so your HTC ONE's "ultra pixel" is just a marketing gimmick dude! i dough that you know how to count a pixel

                      The "iPhone 5" is the very best & & & the worst iPhone ever too! Its full of problems. Very first unite was defective with its aluminum unibody i.e. dent, broken sleep/wake button, purple tint on camera. Now first unit's issues has been gone & new issues has been introduced i.e. slow to respond or hangs home & sleep/wake button, camera not functioning randomly or permanently.

                      Here is my experiences with iPhone 5:
                      1. I have brought an iPhone 5 (most provably one of the first unite) immediately when its was released with some dents. After two or three months I got problem with sleep/wake button. It was broken due to very soft material used on it.
                      2. So, then Apple had changed my iPhone with new one. Surprisingly that one had not any dent & I noticed they have changed the sleep/wake, silent buttons & the volume rocker with different materials which is more dark (black) and hard. But I discovered a big issue that, the home and the sleep/wake buttons was not responding randomly. The screen went off & couldn't be turned on due to not responding buttons.
                      3. Again, Apple had replaced my iPhone with new one. That time camera didn't work. So, I have sent that to the Apple again.
                      4. Now I'm waiting for another new iPhone 5 provably with some new issues. to be continued...

                              Ok apple where is iphone money spent cause glass whether gorilla or not cost nothing,,that bit of stainless steel will cost you nothing per iphone..You are using a battery and chips everyone else is using so why so expensive??

                              Well you admitted it you overcharge your customers,,actually you rob them blind..I f you turn round and said our O/ is expensive to complete so we will overcharge for that its still wrong answer..

                              If your next iphone is not a big wow you are going to really see a dent in your robbing constomer profits..RANT OVER,FOR NOW.

                                AnonD-77892, 07 May 2013so sad that apple will never allow memory card slot.. they are forcing us to buy their product... moreRead huffington link and still really apple are overcharging else why would they have all that profit..Tim cook is lying saying he cant make cheaper products they could if they cut the crap and stopped charging double what it costs to build..


                                That pisses me off he was asked why his macs were not under 1000 and said they could not with out sacrificing quality,thats bull you mean SACRIFICING PROFIT YOU LIER.

                                Hey apple if all other manufacturers overcharged they would have billions in bank too.

                                      what i could say about apple/iphone. their phone are really great than android phones. even though its single core/dual core, it doesn't lag,not like android phones even though its quad core it's still lagging. but whats nice in android phone, is the home widgets.
