This is simply put, the worst iphone ever...i have an iphone 4s...and was eagerly awaiting the greatest phone on the planet, the iphone 5...but instead, Apple gives us this outdated, piece of garbage...longer screen sucks...design is basically a stretched 4s...no NEW feature that is not available yet with other flagships...I can't believe I'll be stuck another year with my 4s while I watch all of my friends do all the hightech stuff...I'm an apple fan...but I'm now starting to hate apple grrrr :(

        Tommy, 13 Sep 2012You need to use one to know. Have used the iPhone 4S and still prefer my other phone which is Samsung Galaxy S3 if need be, now iPhone is only available with nano-SIM...Umm, that means switching phones won't be as simple!

          Seems most other smart phones released in the past 8 or so months have better specs than this. faster, better battery, better resolution screens, half the price, no iOS. hmmm

                Tommy, 13 Sep 2012You need to use one to know. It is user experience that matters most. Lags are rare even on 3gs whereas android needs mini dual core cpu and 1gb ram to run smoothly. Resell value is important too. apple products keeps their.value and iph4 can still be sold for half of.its.original price whereas sgs ii can be sold for 1/4 of its price

                  piyal, 13 Sep 2012a great disappointment for me for the 2nd time in a row this year. just like SGS3 the iphone 5... moreThere is no point bumping up clock speed while single core can run ios smoothly. screen size larger than 3.5 is useless. if steve is alive, he won't change screen size. 8mp is more than enough as lens are more important. higher mp will add thickness of d phone. iphone runs smoothly with 512mb ram and so no need so big ram. it is innovation in terms of software is more important

                    As Apple VP Bob Mansfield said during a video presentation at today’s event, "The level of invention here is beyond anything we’ve ever done." So, this is Apple's best?

                    Really, why do these guys think everyone else on earth is an idiot. This is why Apple ticks so many people off.

                          a great disappointment for me for the 2nd time in a row this year. just like SGS3 the iphone 5 is a bad successor of two great phone. Both came with frustrating design and completely no innovation. But I genuinely feel its a good update whoever owns iphone 4 or 3gs. Apple will manage to keep their original followers in Apple again. But as a high end device the premium asked is not very justifiable as the internal hardware are not anymore cutting age as it used to be.

                                  heres a fact..ip5 would be release..then after a few months i bet on ur pockets that they will release ip 5S..with much better specs than the 1st one,if youre wise enough instead of going for the first id say you wait for the second one which is better..its so predictable,whatever the problems on ip5 they will definitely fix in ip5's
