      [deleted post]you don't have much friends do you..... probably not....
      maybe because you keep fighting with everyone, even when it's none of ur business. for exammple, you not owning an iphone5, you know nothing about it, you make things up to back yourself up, damn you live a sad life.
      funniest comment ever, (android is faster then the speed of light) Hows it fast, when the phone is rebooting and power cycling? Good job ron, keep up the good work trolling.

        You iphone haters are simply naive and ignorant. After the launch of Iphone 5 you ambushed this phone based on its map debacle. So now the Map issue was fixed, now you don't have anything concrete to hurl at iphone you use Bluetooth. Because of that I have bought Iphone's for my garden boy & domestic worker for its superiority. HTC the king of smartphones AND Iphone the queen of smartphones. Samsung the P. A of both the king and the queen. lol

          [deleted post]To uNVK....you have posted 6 times on here and your comments are SO boring! Zzzz.Zzzzz.Zzzz...so what's your point!!!??? I once enjoyed coming onto this forum where people had respect for one another and gave their opinions and experience however IF you hate Apple products so much why don't you vent it out on another site / forum where people might listen to you!!! You probably can't afford an iphone so shut up and be quiet!

              Gpu triple core graphics: facilitation Apple.
              Gpu on this has a subtle difference with Gpu on my MacBook 11. I'm studying inventory in camera and at school my lecture was imposed at what my IPhone 5 can do. he therefore, implored others to use iphone 5. well done apple..

Face it, the co... moreJust because Apple is slapping whoever it can in US,, doesn't mean that it can do the same everywhere,,, and this absurd company should produce a faster, more smarter and of course massive multitasking like android,,i should say all the phone isn't using android operating system shouldn't call their devices smartphones, because in this 21st century if we have to open every app one by one, then iphone is nothing more than an analog overpriced mediocre dilemma of some of the most immature and delusional peoples exaggeration who is too stubborn and stupid to admit their errors..So pathetic.

                  Anonymous, 17 Oct 2012"Exactly the same job" is where every Android fan makes the mistake, for they merely... moreWell , that theory is not quite right.

                  First of all , you cannot compare two different things , we can compare 2 android phones or 2 windows phones or 2 iPhones but not cross comparison.

                  Each OS is made for one kind of need , all have pros and cons.

                  For people saying , "iOS is having same looks and iPhone looks same from 2007 and bla bla"..........
                  Don't forget Windows PCs , they carried same layout for more than 15 years , i.e having a start button , and 3 buttons on top right for close,minimize,maximize.

                  "Key elements" remained same but they did change the looks of overall system with tweaks but didn't completely changed entire UI ..... right ? That is same approach used in OS X or iOS or even Windows Phone (having same metro UI since 2010).

                  As far as functionality is concerned , Apple products work too good , in my case.In my entire experience , i used apple products more than any devices i bought and i still have all 4 apple products i bought , in working condition (oldest one is nearly 8 years old).
                  I don't hate android or defend apple but i think Apple products are the best ones as far as my lifestyle and needs are concerned.

                    Tired of hearing all this nonsense about other phones being manufactured in a cheap manner by the Chinese. Do the iphone users have any idea where there phone and the components are manufactured? My guess is no. The iPhone still uses Samsung chips as we speak

On my iPad3 when I want to watch something on youtube it dosent go full screen. And iPhone5 camera is the worst among smartphones. I have already changed my iPhone5 but still the same. With flash photo comes darker and in dark its completely black. You cant delete any post from facebook. From apple genius they are keep saying sorry sorry and sorry. Man you should see the queue to change the phone or complain :(.

Apple is not going anywhere for years to come. Face it, the company is smart. They hire the ultimate best in the industry and are slowly taking over the business industry where RIM ended. Tell me a cmpany that is using Android phones as their business mobile? and don't say Google, not fair.

                                  Sadly I am using iPhone5 and iPad3. My honest rating for both product is 2/3. I have noticed one thing, when you are taking picture with flash it comes darker than without flash. And at night its all dark. I went to starford brach they said its the prob with iOS6. But hey why I need to suffer. If your OS is not compatible with the device why an earth you developed it and cheating with customers?! They told me to wait for next upgrade but dont know it will release. So dissapointed with Apple and its products.
