Damn all this hate from Android users.. That's how you know Apple is the most adavnced efficient os yesterday, today and tomorrow and the figures don't lie.. Sit down and stay pressed. No one wants to use your 2nd rated os for shit. Developers know ios is the main stage to showcase their apps. Who the hell use NFC, no one but 0.1 percent of the Android population. Apple still manages to make a glass & aluminum beautiful slim, and litephone without using cheap plastic. Everything on android just screams 2nd rated. Gazllion over hyped features that hardly works. Apple is not going to invest in overhyped comic features that will lead to problems. That is why it did not jump on the lte bandwagon at 1st. Who in the hell gonna jump on something that is not even well establish. LTE is still growing; NFC, wireless charging are just a few. iPhone hands down has the best flawless os and polished apps. I see why Apple hasn't added anything particular new, it's because their phones and os has been always been solid especially since the iPhone 4. The iphone is the only phone to have the best camera in the mobile world today. IPhone 5 will be no exception. Android has to come out with updates every 3-6 months. Jellybean, yes is a great addition but it's still not solid. Keep on reaching! iPhone 5 is a great addition to the apple family. I love the fact that when you get an iPhone you have the latest and greatest phone for that whole year, then you have Android that constantly comes out with new better phones for their standards every month. Now u don't have the latest and greatest phone as you may think and may at times feel cheated with your 1 month old stall phone. So to end this, Samsung loses #1 spot after being the #1 smartphone for 1 month, while Apple reclaims it's throne for another full year. Enough said!

    Anonymous, 15 Sep 2012This is obvious with change. Developers are already aware and changing apps to fit the new scr... moreThere might be too many devices to consider in developing an app for Android. But at least developers had adapted to it. Unlike with IOS, there are some features that doesn't work in older iPhone devices just to make the latest version adapt to the older models.

        no bluetooth (with cydia a lot of steps) + no nfc (file transfer), no micro sd, no radio and no removable battery that means samsung galaxy s3 is better, i think so "technicaly" but i think that touch sensitivity in iphone it's better than sgs3 (sure after trying iphone 4S and SGS3)

                  AnonD-66172, 15 Sep 2012you are the one looking PATHETIC... i dont care about IOS or Android.. has it multitask or not... moreMulti-tasking is a part of life...you can walk and talk at the same time right? (not sure if you can think? lol) But my point is...SERIOUS MULTI-TASKING is an important feature on a smartphone...and since iphone 5 cannot do real multi tasking such as downloading files and watching video while you wait for it to finish...or browsing FB, twitter while watching your favorite MTV file...These are examples of REAL MULTITASKING already available in other phones but not with iphone 5...that's why I'm keeping my iphone 4s and maybe upgrade to a different brand this year until apple gets rid of CEO joke TIM COOK :P

                                personally i am not an apple fan and this could be tainted by that but i did always think they look great and are good products if what you need is what they have(because let's face it, they don't give you what you need, they give you what they want and it's your choice from there), but a i really do think this iPhone looks bad, it's too god damn long for it's width(at least that's what i think)
