      Anonymous, 16 Dec 2012If Apple users had high specs they would be boasting about it as well.Boasting is one thing, but condemning others is the key issue. I do not like fanboyism of any sort, even if it is iOS fanboyism. The companies don't give a hoot about us, yet all these trolls down here are going to war with each other. Meanwhile, Steve Wozniak is enjoying iPhone and Android, and Samsung's Chief Strategy Officer uses iPhone, ipad and iMac at home. Ironic no? The trolls below give their money as defend to death, while the big shots above enjoy life and use whatever they like. Think about that.

      Just buy what you like and enjoy, and let others enjoy their choices. It won't kill you.

        Anonymous, 16 Dec 2012If Apple users had high specs they would be boasting about it as well.Very true, a lot of features on Windows Phone and Android might end up on iPhone in a few years so obviously Android users would want to brag about it and let iPhone users know about the amazing new features they can expect to get. But some of the regulars here act like if a feature isn't on iPhone then it's pointless having it and think no one should ever point out the problems and just accept whatever Apple gives them, and now after making that constructive comment one of them is getting ready to attack me.

            I used to like this site, came here before I brought my first smart phone 3 years ago, now up for a new phone & came back to see what was good, but now GSMArena seems to be full of 'Android Trolls' that shoot down anything not Android. Its a shame that these small children do this but I now associate Android phones with Trolls, which wasn't the case before I came here 3 years ago, & because of this I brought my first iphone5 last week & the phone is a work of art & does everything I need. Thanks Trolls

What are you talking about? A few threads below a ip5 user was complaining, but in the end he still satisfied with the product. Whats your point? oh right, you want to justify being able to complain about it, even though you don't use it. YOu just want to troll right?

                        Truth is, there are plenty of choices, and now with Google Maps, iPhone users get the best of both worlds anyway. Funny how Android users laugh at the people who actually get more stuff. Oh and by the way, Google says its iOS maps is better than on Android lol.

                          [deleted post]When screen stays the same, you criticise. Now the screen is thinner, fused in one layer, new unibody, different material that beat SGS3 in drop test, A6 chip with phenomenal performance and one of the highest rated GSMArena battery endurance ratings, and its for kids? Lol that's playa hater talk right there haha.

                          Android fanboys totally frustrated they simply don't know what hit them haha.

                                  Just brought a iPhone5 64GB last week, so thin & light, looks like a piece of jewellery, the Retina display is clear & so easy to read, copied some 720p HDTV shows to it & played them perfectly. Connected to my WiFi in seconds without any problems, scrolling thru the menus is fast & smooth, IOS 6 took me a little time to get my head around the closed OS, but am getting to terms with it quickly. Most of my friends have android phones, LG Optimus Black, Samsung Galaxy S3, Sony Xperia neo, compared to the iphone5 these phones have a plastic toy feel to them, not saying these roid phones a rubbish, but the finishing of the iphone5 is A++. Some people have had chipping paint problems with their iphone5's but my white one is still in perfect condition. The phone was quite expensive but am very happy with my purchase.

                                      He's left apple in 1986..... He liking android actually doesn't mean a damn thing.

                                        dcntdude, 14 Dec 2012Hello, Apple make Great Products.. But iPhone 5 is a total Waste of Money. It's not a Sop... moreYeah apart from the lack of Apps on WP8 it does look really nice and some time in the future I might consider buying one.
                                        And you right that while the iPhone is very good if you just want the most basic features but for low end use it's not that much better than some WP8 & Android phones but you still paying a lot more for the phone and with all the Apps and features you get free on other platforms you can easily spending hundreds of Dollars extra and you really not getting your money's worth for it, and if people with iPhone just admit they paying more than it's actually worth then I can fully respect those people because they going in with their eyes open knowing fully what to expect.
