And the loose battery is just a sales gimmick! Most people won't do that. And widgets running etc etc?? People don't even know what the widgets are for! What on earth are you doing with your phone when going out? Sounds more like an outing to play on the phone! Then I rather stay at home and play with my phone at home. And while you carry an extra battery, then I will get myself an extra charger and carry it with...

I also tested and used both, iphone and note 2 AND, I forgot, GS3! Iphone is totally the best!! It's like cars...all cars can be driven, but a Rolls Royce just got that little extra that you can't really eaxplain....just that edge that makes it special! Same with iphone....use it and then talk again. That's why we used them both, and iphone just got the edge! In the end its so much better!! And for anybody that want to put a cover on....Qdos Smoothie!

                    Yeah I totally agree! Iphone 5 is way better than S3 or Note 2... Simply because an iphone is an iphone...

                    I knew someone who was scammed and had bought a clone s3... The phone really looked like s3 and performed like s3... The bad thing about androids is that it is an open system... If u have the same hardware then u can install android on it unlike apple which is a closed system.. Yah, there are iphone 5 clones but you can never see an exact copy! And those clones run android!

                    Apple is all quality, from its hardware to its software.. I have used an s3 before, yeah its quadcore but it is pretty crappy and hangs a lot more than the iphone 5...

There are things you can do on android devices in order to prolong battery life. But any way, all I know is, my note 2 out last my friend and colleague's iphone 5s. They need to recharge much sooner than I do. They even try to keep from using them too extensively while out and about.

                        Another good point is that if the situation ever arises, I can just keep an extra battery on hand and swap it out. Another why I'd never buy a phone without a removable batter, ios or android.

                        And by the way, you are right to say that the note 2's battery is twice the size of the iphone 5, but the note 2 is also twice the size of the iphone 5 and has more running on it. Such as, widgets as well as that huge screen!

                                  being that I work for a cell operator MVNO, generally we are pretty psyched about new apple kit as it gives us an opportunity to swag more custom as we already have an edge on pricing. however the issues we have experienced with the iphone 5 and ios 6 are pretty criminal. in terms of hardware there appears to be a known(by apple) fault on sim contacts which they immediately swap handsets out for without commenting, plus the software keeps resetting the APNs to carrier default which is pretty rubbish if you are an MVNO. as ever apple demonstrate a lack of build quality on important components and a cavalier attitude towards smaller networks. nice one!

If you look at battery tests and battery endurance, note2 totals 69 hours compared to iphone5's 51 hours. That just shows one thing, the usage of iphone 5 on battery is a lot more productive/sensible than note2. And that is to do with the processor that's given roughly the same speeds etc. But, I still think screen is too small to really enjoy web browsing..even on the note2.

My friend on the other hand, who has an iphone 5 as well as one colleague, can't go out without their charger if they plan on using their phones extensively. If I don't do anything heavy one my Note 2, I can have it last for 2 days on one charge.
