Except for the fingerprint sensor there's really nothing new, the A7 processor is an upgrade, but I don't see it making any difference... Also, the camera's sensor is slightly bigger, but competition is way ahead in terms if camera... And I think that NSA will be very happy about the fingerprint sensor...

You call that worse then last year android flagship??? You must be joking.
Your mind must be filled with empty Cores only.
option, 12 Sep 2013they add fingerprint sensor on iphone5 and it become 5s. now they will add combined sd slot+us... moreIt is their business strategy, one feature at a time, model by model, so that they will not run out of new additional specs.
C'mon iPhone, you are behind the race.
AnonD-68356, 12 Sep 2013android has fingerprint scanner since 2011
#Motorola atrixI'ts the way you market and implement it. And that's where all other brands fail but Apple.
P.S: if you guys are fanboys of android and Sammy. Please read and comment on those threads. no need to make fun of yourself in front of us Apple fans with updates about your Sluggish and Laggy Fandroid OS (did I not mention that too with better specs compared to iPhones)

I bought an S4 instead of a 5 and I only have problems with it. Customization wise go for android but functionality wise and fluency, go for an iPhone
AnonD-184966, 12 Sep 2013Excellent The same boring design... can't they think of other design?

It's even inferior to last year's android flagships. The screen is not even 720p. Why do people buy it for hundreds of $? Pure marketing i guess.
These days there are many kinds of OS windows android and apple people seems to like android os because its cheap and it is user friendly but apple which is a big brand which is known world wide but its totally different from android and windows both guys u may be android os else window os supporter but the fact u need to understand is iphones are not made like android phones which are produced in less cost and they attract people because of their low cost but apple inc full fills all the thing in one mobile which they dont look how much it costs them to make the phone they build their phone with standard materials which you can use them without any problems. finally i would like to say something u can take any kind of your favorite phones just chek the user comments in gsm arena i bet there will be more than 50 users experiencing trouble with android phones and u can also check iphones which u will only notice haters comments time to change choose wise dont look what others say buy which gives customer more thank you - Prince christan james
Let the haters hate. I first switched from Symbian to an android device (ace) and at that time the android os is like copying every single thing ios have well in that case not android but Samsung. After a merely 2 months I switched to blackberry and ios until now I've been using both of my phones. I don't know, there's something about android that most of friends and me doesn't like because most of my friends have switched to apple but apple users or rarely change to android hmmmmm. But if I would change to android, I would pick htc rather than Samsung.
Looks like a nice phone, I'm not a big Android fan so I think my next upgrade will be an iPhone.. but I think I'll wait for the iPhone 6.
The configuration of this phone is below expectation, coming from a smart phone manufacturing gaint like Apple. It will be impossible for Apple to rule the smart phone market with a smart phone of this configuration as thr flagship phone.
Android is now the gutter OS for all 'other' phones. WP8 is the only contender for iOS rival right now with its own unique selling points.
Sony is compensating somewhat with its brilliant design, but will probably consider WP8 models at some point.
Samsung in the mean time is being sued by Dyson for copycatting their vacuum. The more things change the more things stay the same lol
Love how Apple doesn't follow the features trap and jamming every single feature possible like the Androids resulting in Frankenstein phones (Samsung lol).
Instead we get a superbly thought out phone which keeps on getting more and more polished with each iteration.
Awesome

Keep your iPhone with u? lol...You are happy with 2 years old technology phone ...lol...hahahaha...Android is far better than iOS. I have used iOS 7 too... my personal experience...Apple lost his innovation trak...lol...
Galaxy S4 is the best smartphone in the world.... Once a time Iphone was best but now a days iphone is losing market status
AnonD-184602, 12 Sep 2013Steve said that he thinks a 4" iPhone is beautiful and larger then that isn't practically... moreAwwwww all cos you can't transfer files on the iPhone you say it's not needed, iPhone is a flop billions off shares when this was announced lol its a flop get over it, and in China they said they don't want or need it lol 7th in China apple. When people pull this out on a train people will laugh and battery is pathetic on iPhone 1440 milliamp total joke
Comeon people u know what had happen to apple.. Apple inc. allways build high end mobiles with the best technology they got with great architecture and perfomance. And samsung is just a mobile maker which gives low cost mobiles with what people wanted with it. Its true maintaing a samsung phone is not big deal just as an apple phone. But after used for sometimes he get enough with the same phone and go for another. Thats what happening around the world. You know ,according to a survey done by the university of oxford most of the people first buy a SAMSUNG mobile and then go for an APPLE. But only 10% or less of people who used an apple go for a android. Thats the truth. Even i am. The reason why apple couldnt make a high market in asia is apple is to expensive for them. Otherwise if the so called apple 5c came in a low price. Today in these comments i would see a complete different things for sure.

I doubt anybody really uses bluetooth anymore as you know we now have Airdrop, bigger battery will result in a larger iPhone making it thicker! More ram, CPU and display will also require larger battery which isn't what Apple is aiming for.
Personally the iPhone 5 and 5s are both fast phones and surely the new 5s will have outstanding bench marks, its a quality built device which stands out plus a very well written iOS 7.
