[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.

                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.

                        Apple make Great Products.. But iPhone 5 is a total Waste of Money.
                        It's not a Sophisticated product because Apple needs to have Credit Card no. To create an Apple ID 'N' More of DownLoads are PAID.
                        Apple has Smooth UI But what's the Use to Pay First n then useit.

                        BY THE WAY WINDOWS PHONE 8 is a GREAT IDLE.
                        LIVE TILES USER INTERFACE. N COOL COLOURS.
                        LOVE IT.

                            The iphone 5 is a great phone, no doubt, but the price is too much for its features, its a phone for people who simply loves apps without having any lags..

                                So just shows people like him are the sort who actually enjoy Smartphones and like to make the most of them, because with Android and WP there's very few restrictions, so basically people might love iPhone but once you get to that stage you becoming a Smartphone power user you just have to realise that iPhone is perfect for casual users but anything more than that and the iPhone starts looking really bad, and a lot of people just refuse to accept when they've outgrown the iPhone and have to make massive compromises.

M a bit confused between iphone 5 ... moreYOur S3 becomes obsolete when s4 comes out, because new updates will no longer be available for the S3. Androids lifespam per phone is your phone will handle updates up to one year, as for iphones, its up to 3 years. Pretty much a bad choice right now, for S3. You might as well wait for the ip5.
