            [deleted post]just like how you guys hate them for whatever they do? It's almost the same logic, the difference is right now, you are trolling. I am not. You will probably slam the iphone5 for something else if it did have a sd card slot. Way ta go compare the iphone 5 to a media player also dude. I think you need to read, as I already said, apple focused around the areas of the phone itself, making phone calls, checking emails, fast browsing, (siri is just unbelievable awesome sometimes). Using the internet. They have the best facebook app. Want a sd card slot? Email apple yourself. Not that you care anwyays, your complaining about an apple flaw for the sake of slamming the product. We don't except everything apple makes, but the reason is understandable.

            No micro sd card? Buy the f in s3 then. We don't care!

              my iphone5's battery really sucks, with LTE on, the battery drops roughly 15-18% with a few data based msgs and light usasge of web surfing in 1 hour, the battery drop 12% with the same usage under 3G. even just 3G standby with almost no usage wont last a full day, what happened? anyone has this problem, i did have my phone changed,but the problem remains.

Unless you actually take 10000 hd photos, without backing em up, a 64gb will suffice for someone that needs that space. If you are really taking 10000 photos.

                    I suggest you go buy a f in camera instead of actually using a smart phone.

                    if you need it then get the S3. No one is here to stop you. You wouldn't want me to go into the s3 forum and complain about how bad jelly bean is right? How the phone is built like crap, right? It's trolling.

                    multitasking = battery kill. But really, if you want, get the S3. apple users don't give a crap like you apple haters.

                      I would rather have the choice of expansive memory than not. If you keep a lot of pictures and videos/movies on your device, you are going to want that extra memory. It's also nice that you can hook up an external drive to an android device. Something that can't be done (As far as I know) on an Apple device. So even if your android doesn't support micro sd cards, you still have that option.

                      Let's face it, android is the real multi-purpose platform.

                        You can troll on all you want. No matter what apple does, you guys will dislike. You are disrespectful and currently bringing down the reputation of this site in general by your trolling. You guys troll everywhere including Lumia 920' and 620 sites. I don't get it. You guys accuse apple users as
                        stupid
                        dumb
                        child
                        old people
                        blind.

                        apple users are fully aware of whats available whats not. Apple has made their best decisions in whats important and whats not. Multi tasking is something they will consider, but once again, the average person is doing one thing on their phone anyways, its not a computer. Multi tasking also kills battery life. expandable memory is useless as most applications cannot load off the memory card. Lumia 920 htc droid, asus padfone 2. What do these phones have in common? no sd slot. I guess your entitled to your opinion, but you don't even have this phone, or even used it, yet you complain and whine about a phone you have no intentions it's confusing why you guys do this.

                          http://applenapps.com/apple_news/survey-says-apple-maps-are-no-problem-at-all-for-90.html

                          Cause there are no reported issued of your kind.

                          That being said, due to inaccuracies and apple haters posing as iphone users, making false claims as in, this is wrong that is wrong, used for 5 minutes got a refund bull crap, what you just said, is unbelievable. I'm sorry to say. Thank the trolls for doing this. I honestly won't take your comment seriously around here. If your case did really happen, contact your local apple store and get it serviced. I had a friend, who had their entire iphone replaced for defective battery on his 4s.

And yes there is no denying or at least no denying from anyone who has their own opinion that external memory can only make iPhone better, and it's just lazy and dumb to blindly accept whatever Apple gives you and not say you want more.

                              For starters, if "user experience" is paramount then it should be tested as such Simply because I didn't need my IP5 to overheat and shut down when I needed the GPS feature while driving in Alberta for work. I also didn't need my IP5 to crash the one time I needed to make an emergency call by pressing the "emerg call" button to report a drunk driver... oh, and this procedure to open phone.app/contacts/scroll to make a call is outdated. Did anyone mention battery life?
                              Now you have 3 new examples from an actual IP5 user that says for what you get it's overpriced.
