    It looks to me like a "super LG Prada", I mean, for the money you get a reasonably good phone but far from best, with a limited closed OS. Much more important, you also get a cool Apple toy. And best of all, you join the Apple fanboy club so you have thousands of people to say each other you've got the best camera in Universe, the slimmest body and so.

        Anonymous, 13 Sep 2012cut the crap people you just can't afford it! thats all. so shut up and just use you plastic c... morelol guess gsma cant afford it either.. cas them seem pretty disappointed aswell..

        "On the negative side, the iPhone 5 screen is only 4 inches big, and not only this, but only height was added, which, for instance, would bring no real benefit in most games and would help web browsing only in landscape mode. The camera is mostly the same as on the 4S, and LTE connectivity in Europe is still as scarce as water in the Sahara to be really worth it. Finally, the new sleeker connectivity jack renders all previous docking accessories obsolete and yet, provides no intercompatibility with the all-reigning microUSB. Not to mention the new nano SIM card, which would be a major pain in the butt, if you’ve got an unlocked iPhone and you’d like to swap SIMs frequently.

        Honestly, I’m already tired of hearing Apple’s stale remarks how the new iPhone or the new iPod was Apple’s best thing so far. What I wanted to see today on stage was pure innovation, something that would again open new doors and make other manufacturers lose their breath in trying to catch up.

        Instead, what I got was a predictable phone with unexciting specs; a phone that I would hardly call cutting edge, top-of-the-line, and all those labels that usually go hand in hand with Apple’s latest. After all, the iPhone has always been the most expensive SIM-free smartphone on the market. "

              I got the S3 because it is just in a different league to the 4S and the iPhone 5 isn't much better than 4S either.

                  don't compare iphone to your old plastic S3 there is a huge difference between the two! its like holding a JEWEL with iphone. but with samsung phones? its like holding a fake toy that is made in china. hahahahaha....

                    People... please analyse and read specs carefully before buying iphone5 so that you won't make a costly mistake. As i understand from an article from phone arena, this iphone 5 comes in 2 versions. One for CDMA and another for GSM/UMTS countries. In short, if your iphone 5 version is GSM/UMTS , we can't use it properly when you travel into the US or any CDMA country.

                    I have waited near 3 months for this iPhone 5, but after seeing this article, bought an iphone4s instead just to be sure.

                    I am not rich enough to invest in many phones. So mine has to be a go anywhere phone. And i am only a 5'2" female with small hands. So the S3 is not a good option either.

                    I wonder why apple did this 2 iphone5 version?
