    Ooops! What's happening?
    The daily interest for this phone is going down.
    Now it is on the 7th slot of the GSMArena current rankings by daily interest. Maybe people are not that much interested in this unit.

          India user review:-
          Its light, slim and handy. If you have iPhone4s you may not need iPhone5. But if you have earliers models then definitely a reason to buy.Even dealers are offering EMIS.

          Maps: Apple is improving maps as per TUAW. Also for India MapMyIndia in tie up with sygic offers best map experience with door2door navigation, real time traffic updates. Google Reportedly Readies Maps App For iOS.

          Don't worry about software glitches. They will be fixed any time through upgrades. Still its more better quality than Android.

          Additional features: iMessage, Camera Panorama view, Face-Time....

          IPhone5 is bit high priced but not too high if you consider the quality and services like iCloud. iCloud will give better experience than free drop box.

          Galaxy S3 is available cheaper than iPhone but with bulky size, heavy weight and a cheap plastic back cover. Sorry to say but this reminds my school days geometric box.Quad core processor? You need or your OS need? Optimizing OS is more important than increasing processor.
          From my view iOS gives better usabilty experience than Android. To use Android fully, One either need to be a techie or need to have prior android experience. iOS is still the easiest OS then comes Windows and finally Android the toughest.

            Real fans are concerned about problems on their own platform, not on others. Android Police has called Android 4.2 the most bug infested launch ever:

                [deleted post]And I just said the other day that iPhone really needs expandable memory so you always have everything with you incase your chosen cloud service has problems.
                And look at this... It's like I made a premonition or something and Apple's cloud services can't be accessed by some people, while all of us with external memory can just stick everything on the card and you can completely lose access to the internet and still always have your music with you, and anyone with more than 2 brain cells can tell you more memory is better than less and it's better to mostly rely on yourself instead of completely relying on services Apple provides.

                      Apple's Biggest Mistakes Since Steve Jobs Saved the Company

                      Ping was Apple's failed attempt at a social network
                      Apple trusted Eric Schmidt for way too long
                      Apple stuck with AT&T for too long
                      Small iPhone!
                      Charging $499 for the iPhone
                      Hiring Mark Papermaster
                      Steve Jobs' initial response to Antennagate was awful
                      Siri needed to be better
                      The iPhone 4S*
                      Just whiffing on the Internet in general
                      The hockey puck mouse
                      Hiring John Browett
                      Apple maps are worse than Google maps

                        I like reading comments about particular product "flaws" especially coming those who experienced them. This gives more points to consider before buying. But i think its a waste of time to point out everytime the things that most or all of us know already. We all read phone specifications coming from this site.

                            In any case, if I have offended or said the wrong thing I apologise.

                            My intention truly isn't to hurt, and I myself dislike conflict. I prefer if we can show mutual respect.

                            Lastly, these are just phones at the end of the day. Life is too short to be arguing about them, while there are much bigger issues happening in the world right now. Choose the phone that serves you best, and enjoy.

                                [deleted post]Your link also spectacularly shows how you fail to understand my message. I pointed out that if you hunt for weaknesses you will definitely find it, as no phone is perfect, including the iPhone.

                                Just repeating the weaknesses will not deter one from buying an iPhone, as he/she is going do the good points not the bad.

                                Otherwise why would people buy fragmented/malware infested Android for example? It s due to some good points that they deemed preferable than on iOS. Doesn't mean Android is perfect right? That's why I prefer not to waste my time on Andpid articles or Android weaknesses.

                                  So do you agree now that iPads are better? I don't think so right? That's why I say negative commenting doesn't work loser. Why not concentrate on the positives once in a while.
