Even the leaks showed a longer battery than the iPhone 4S. On top of that they used battery saving chips as well a optimized software, so that now they have a phone that is LTE yet lasts LONGER than iPhone 4S. Simply amazing.

      Im happy with my 3GS, and forgot about what Apple is when Steve Jobs died.. The 3GS was the best thing he made.. the rest is just nothing.. and IP5 too..

        What most people do not realise about iPhone 5's improvements to the touch screen. The sensor and glass are now one layer instead of two separate layers.

        http://www.businessinsider.com/iphone-5-screen-2012-9

        From the article:

        "The integration of the touch sensors into the display itself provides a noticeable reduction in thickness. I wrote when I first saw the iPhone 4 in 2010 — Apple’s first retina display and the first time the company laminated the display to the glass surface, eliminating the thin layer of air between those components — that it looked like pixels on glass rather than pixels under glass. Now, after seeing the new iPhone 5 display, my iPhone 4S display seems as thick as a Coke bottle."

            Now if you want to be taken seriously here how about you prove you have an objective mind of your own and give any kind of honest criticism against Apple, and all you have to do is name 1 of the things that Apple deserves criticism for.

              [deleted post]Alright how about listening to music while browsing the net? Does that sound idiotic to you? Because that is the kind of multitasking people actually want to do.

                AnonD-71738, 15 Sep 2012hahahahaha .. iphone 5 dont have NFC ? 1 GB of Ram like note ii have .. cannot call while usin... moreApple were so obsessed with making it the thinnest Smartphone that they not interested in giving it a bigger battery so customers can have a better phone, and any normal person will accept an extra 0.5mm thickness if the phone becomes more practical but like always with Apple it's style over substance.

                  Useful article for the millions who will shift from Android to iOS, even Gizmodo (generally anti-Apple) is anticipating it:

                  http://gizmodo.com/5943175/how-to-make-the-switch-from-android-to-ios

                  They should also make an article for Android to WP8 for the Android users who will move to Lumia 920.

So you cant compare it to galaxy s3 just yet, which has a great cpu, and i doubt iphone's is bette

                          Anonymous, 15 Sep 2012Inspite of just being jealous and throwing such comments, u should actually do research on it.... moreObviously you did not understand my post...that's because you are too busy convincing yourself that iphone 5 is not crap! hahahaha...I did do research...I was at the apple convention in CA and tested it myself...no need to wait for the review because I tried to play a 3D game and play a video at the same time and iphone 5 closed the 1st app before it opened the second one! hahaha ...IPHONE 5 CANNOT DO REAL-MULTITASKING! it's just like my iphone 4s...with a longer ugly screen! boo!

                                It's not about the quantity of additional new function throw into the new phone, its about the quality of particle (traditional) function and innovation of add-on(s).

                                The camera obviously upgraded, CPU does, screen size is just fit, calling quality is improved by its new (bought) noisy cancellation technology, digital connector (lightning) once again will unify the accessory market in the next decade. Just put in mind, mobile phones are limited in size, their battery life is also limited, you wont be able to do that much of function on such handy device, if thats what you demand for, go for a tablet, the New iPad.
