iPhone 5 is not so innovative but it still rocks. I consider it as successor to iPhone4S. It should have been named as iPhone 4S E ("E"xtended version).

        What a surprise, Apple block Samsung (biggest rivals) just weeks before they release their new overrated and overpriced ipad and iPhone. What a surprise that they release only a few units (much less than demand) so that we get the impression they are sold out everywhere. What a surprise that the USA control the global media and have used this to their advantage to publise their own products - Apple. Other phones never get such publicity when they are released and believe me, they are several other better handsets. People open your eyes, don't believe the hype and save your money. This phone has serious restrictions - no SD card, no blue tooth, no flash, itunes only on 3 PCs and much more. Do research before buying. Ignore the American controlled media for an American product.

          AnonD-71959, 17 Sep 2012I don't know why guys from Apple won't reveal more details about the CPU? Number of cores? Meg... morehye i have no doubt the performance of the iphone5 will be great but as every expert suggests it will be merely bringing the phone on par with current flagships.
          but its really not the issue.. i mean surely apple knew the specs of the final retail version of the iphone5 before the launch of the 12th..
          yet they let you think it was going to be sporting the A15 cpu, also announced almost a week later there would be no voice calls/ simultaneous lte data.. 'worlds thinnest phone' again false..
          why wait nearly a full week after its launch and however many pre sale orders down to announce these short comings????
          and why is there no voice calls/ simultaneous lte data? other phones do it.. wouldnt have made a difference to the size of the phone... someone say profit margin???
          again apple slaps fans in the face, yet they stand fast... mind boggling

            I don't know why guys from Apple won't reveal more details about the CPU? Number of cores? Megahertz? I'll tell you this: it's a dual core "customized" version of ARMv7 architecture, and it's a crappy one compared to Galaxy S3 or HTC One X because they all support quad-core chips, they feature 720p displays. So it's another piece of crap for Apple "fanbois", an outdated device just for blind lovers of their brand.

                                Apple is just another bully in the neighbourhood.Its fighting dirty with samsung because it can't win a fair corporate fight with technology against samsung.Dear Apple users, use your brain and compare I phone 5 with galaxy note 2.In any way the mighty Apple cant beat the awesomeness of the note.Apple user can deny this truth, but in their heart they know its the fact that Apple is becoming Histor

                                      Let TRUTHs guide People's Knowledge to the right way :
                                      1. 4G/LTE and Wide Screen is based on Samsung's Patent Tech and Design
                                      2. IPS Display had been developed by Hitachi
                                      3. Panoramic View Cam had been firstly introduced by HTC
                                      # So... What Apple did not steal or copy from its better Rivals such as Samsung and HTC, also Google Tech???
                                      # Congratulation for Asian Tech.!
                                      # BTW, Samsung Galaxy S3 & Note 2 are much better techs than the new dissapointing iPhone 5.
                                      # My long waiting for new great tech of Apple's iPhone is just in vain now.. :-/
