Steve, 13 Sep 2012The "box" shape you speak of looks amazing and has sold tens of millions of units. I... moreAnd that's another reason why apple can't win to the other devices. While the other releasing much phones for low range - mid range - high range consumer and apple still overprice. Apple seems busy sue other brands than thinking and creating another great phone. If you think iphone 5 is great, then your love is really blind like there is no other phone in this world. Wake up, open your eyes and look around you. You should admit that apple now is falling. Support apple but don't be stupid. Apple should learn from this and be more serious from now on. I'm not andro fans, symbian, or whatever u want to call me

            standard smartphone contains more than 250,000 separate patented technologies. All of these have to be paid before a product can be released. What is worrying is that Nokia own a vast majority of this patented technology.

            Recently Nokia flexed its muscles and orderied Apple to pay Nokia a royalty fee for each iPhone sold

                  Its a good phone but the samsung galaxy note 2, due to be released by october is a better phone. This is the reason apple keeps fighting samsung because they are not up to it.

                      Samsung to sue Apple over LTE in iPhone 5

                      It seems as though Samsung is trying to emulate Cupertino even when it is not stealing iOS icons and making rectangular phones.

                      The Korea Times reports that Samsung will take “immediate legal action” against Apple, following reports that the new iPhone 5 features LTE. An industry source told the paper that the US and Europe and Samsung’s “primary targets” in the suit.

                      After scoring a major coup in its billion dollar lawsuit against Samsung, Apple has faced some legal setbacks of its own. A US court recently upheld a couple of HTC patents related to LTE technology and they could even lead to an import ban against the new iPhone.

Remember the pin? they've called it "lighting" LOL. Those small charging pins were used by other Smartphones manufacturers years back.

                              So, I was an iPhone owner some years ago, I had the iPhone, the first, the 8GB model. When I bought it, I thought that I had in my hands the most advanced phone of the moment, even with its limitations, and I was happy with it. It lasted more or less a year until it was stolen. I thought in buying another iPhone, but I noticed that Apple started to sell new models of phones in short periods of time with almost no changes, and so restricting updates for older models. At that time, the last model was 3GS and I decided not to spend more money in Apple's phone because other brands started to offer more models with almost no limitations with their OS and with better specifications. So I think Apple is just offering things that other brands have already, with the difference that Apple tries to make you think that they are the best when actually they don't. Sorry by my english.

It's slim, it's light and it helped Apple become the most valuable company in the world. Notice how Apple doesn't need to release a phone every 3 weeks to achieve that? Samsung and others should take notes - less is best.

                                      kind of disappointing.
                                      not even HD screen.
                                      4" screen only?
                                      still no memory expansion.
                                      only 8mp camera???

                                      the only thing good about this is how thin it is.
                                      i think apple is purposely making the iphone screen small so to force people to buy the ipad.

                                      pretty low apple.
