Overall iPhone5 is a bit dissapointed as compare the current market mobile devices that available. However, we must also appreciate Apple team to create this new iPhone 5 with detail cincern to the user. Such like the handy issue so the iPhone to be taller rather than maintain 4:3 ratio which would cause problem for certain stage of ppl like ladies.Tmprovement from 3.5" to 4" screen size is another breakthrough with 7.6mm thickness. The overall phone design material is really high quality as compare most of the phone out side which still majority uses plastic case which looks less in durability. New in cell touch screen make the phone thinner with aluminium metal body also make the phone lighther for convenient carry for every user. However, son't all of us notice that iPhone still maintain better graphic density wuth 326ppi at the screen size of 4" because most of the market phone is apply less ppi with bigger screen size means less detail when the screen is being zoom in?
iPhone 5 is without NFC function which is one of the surprise that as we compare with the rumor but believe there is reasons behind. May be one of the issue is the e-Wallet is not yet common in market and this function may appear in the coming iPhone.
With al the specs reveal in the iPhone 5, I truely believe Apple is making a phone that is sincerely design for all user but not sertain group of people and everything design is base on Quality, Productivity, and performance.
Credit to iPhone 5 and apple team.

    people r crazy to buy iphone 5 and before launching long lines created outside apple store is it possible for any android set definitely No.And iphone share is 16% in the world then u also know that with limited sale apple get maximum revenue thats mean its sale on premium.and apple is the richest company in the world while samsung has huge variety products but can not come near the apple.

                                Also if anyone still thinks phones don't need NFC then just imagine this...
                                You buy NFC tags for about $2 each and on S3 etc you can install Apps to make the phone do anything you want when you just wave the phone past a tag.
                                So maybe have a tag on your car keys so you just wave phone over them and it activates Bluetooth and connects to car.
                                Or you wave past another tag and it opens your music player or calendar or basically have tags all over so your phone automatically does whatever you like just by being in a certain place.
                                Now I'm sure some of you iPhone owners would really like that but Apple decided no...
                                But I'm just waiting for my NFC tags to arrive for my S3 and I'll tell you all then what you missing out on.

                                  At the end of the day I have a galaxy s3, galaxy note and have pre ordered the iPhone 5 and it's not about the specs of the phone that makes it it's the interface and quality build of it

                                  The galaxy s3 is an awesome phone and I won't be getting rid of it when the iPhone 5 comes out but I won't be getting rid of the iPhone either

                                  As It comes down to user opinions and what it represents to u

                                  So stop squabbling about which is better and bit the one you want I like them all so got them

                                  Arguing about it isn't going to make apple do anything so give it a rest....god

                                    iphone 5 is an epic fail today it does not wowed many of us coz it has nothing to offer except for a little changes like 4 inch screen and 4G LTE only. Apple dismayed majority of people this iphone 5 is not an innovation but a little upgrade of 4S only. Iphone 5 suckss

                                      You know incase anyone hasn't realised yet that even though it has a 4 inch screen most of the time you still only gonna be able to use 3.5 inches.
                                      Because they just made it slightly longer for an extra row of icons but if you play any games or Apps it'll have a black border down the edge so will be exactly the same size as all the older iPhones, so essentially it is just a bit faster with pretty much everything else being the same quality as 4S.
                                      So when you all look at the iPhone 5 just take a look at the improvements us Galaxy S owners have going from SGS1>2>3.
