But re... moreYou are just afraid to see the list of shortcomings of TIM Cook's Apple because it speaks the truth...and when blind Apple fanboys are confronted with a true flaw with their poor iphone 5...you cry: "foul" haha...take a look at all the comments...there are atleast 5 more offensive opinions than mine, yet you did not mind them? Why mind my post then? haha...the truth is Apple fanboys divert the topic when cornered...

            btw I'm an apple fanboy too, my phone is a 4s...I love Steve Jobs Apple Products...so I have every right to express what I think about this disappointing iphone 5 Thank you

                Rukkie, 16 Sep 2012Hi Guys , are we paying only for Apple name??? just simple question i have ,if we compare Ipho... moreDear Rukkie, YES you are paying for Apple's name because of quality. When a certain brand is known for quality, the name rises. Apple makes products of very high quality that's why it's name is sought out.

                Ferrari have made a good name for their sports cars, because of quality and user experience. Same with Audi. Ferrari does not make the fastest car by the way, Bugatti does, yet a Ferrari remains a very desirable thing.

                So yes, you are paying for the Apple name, but it is because the LTE, the 28 megapixel panoramic, the unibody aluminium is made with such quality and precision it takes your breath away.

                Of course the beauty is we have choice. There are many other good phones out there too. Sony and Nokia have the Xperia T and Lumia 920.

But repeatedly posting a huge list of have/have not lists is annoying as it constantly takes up space and is disrespectful in general. Have a good discussion, hate Apple all you want, but do it in a respectful manner to the comment section.

                      Kongkea, 16 Sep 2012why don't show speed and number of core?just Apple A6Apple emphasizes the user experience over tech specs. The philosophy is called 'invisible technology' meaning hardware takes a back seat to the user experience.

                      Anandtech has discovered that the CPU inside is not a modified A15, but a powerful version of created by Apple:

                      http://www.anandtech.com/show/6292/iphone-5-a6-not-a15-custom-core

                      From the article:

                      "However, just prior to the announcement I received some information pointing to a move away from the ARM Cortex A9 used in the A5. Given Apple's reliance on fully licensed ARM cores in the past, the expected performance gains and unpublishable information that started all of this I concluded Apple's A6 SoC likely featured two ARM Cortex A15 cores. 
                       
                      It turns out I was wrong. But pleasantly surprised.
                       
                      The A6 is the first Apple SoC to use its own ARMv7 based processor design. The CPU core(s) aren't based on a vanilla A9 or A15 design from ARM IP, but instead are something of Apple's own creation."

                          Anonymous, 16 Sep 2012No spamming. Keep the conversation decent.You say that because what I posted is true! ...each and every time an applefan gets cornered and confronted with the truth they: 1. change the subject, 2. keep silent (silence is admittance of guilt), 3. say your a troll, spammer, whatever, etc...

                          I'll repost so you can see why a lot of applefans are disappointed

                          Applefans! Brethren! Watcha say about this...
                          Features/Specs Iphone 5 doesn't have that other handsets already offer:
                          Iphone 5 has...
                          No NFC
                          No Radio (non data)

                          No Burstshot (Camera feature)
                          No Best Photo (Camera feature)

                          No water, dust, and scratch resistant exterior
                          No Customizations
                          No HD Screen
                          No 3D Screen

                          Features/Specs that iphone 5 has that they copied from other phones that had it first
                          Panorama (Camera feature)
                          Simultaenous HD image and video recording

                          Video Call over Network
                          Notifications

                          Now look at all of these technologies that iphone 5 lacks and copied from other flagships...
                          Tim Cook's Apple is a hypocrite...they claim to innovate but as you can see Apple now is the one behind in technology...

                          Apple points fingers at others and shout: "They copied us"! Hey Tim Cook and Applefans! Take a look at all the tech you COPIED...
                          Before you acuse... take a look at yourself!

                          My iphone 4s is an iphone...the best one there is...
                          Iphone 5 is not an iphone...it is a NO phone It is an utter disappointment! :(
