    Here in the Philippines the 16GB of iP5 is worth 1,296.66 USD (just saw the price in a known mall in Manila), it cost too much for a smartphone with a limited things you can do. Yes it's fast, you can say faster than the S3 but it's not worth the money.

    I can build a Gaming PC of my choice on that worth of money.

      Apple's smaller just got elongated by only 0.5 inches,that's the best they could manage, any longer and it wouldn't fit in your hand they say. oh i was talking about the screen only,remember not to be too hard on it lest you should scratch it :)

        I would like to see Apple vs Microsoft.
        Meaning iPhone 5 vs Lumia 920.

          Apple has the most loyal fan base, 5 million in a week is definitely a bang for any phone, most specially for a highly priced handset...

                    Reading the disadvantages list reminds me how apple and droid fan boys bashed the Lumia 920 for not having small things. Be most of them and even more listed hear.. including some basic stuff like mass storage mode, FM radio and iTunes for loading stuff..

                      Specs are lame, phone looks shit, and cheaply made, think i'm gonna stick with Android, quality and usefulness not ignorant,2010 lame design and cheap hardware and software specs. And if you don't like my comment and wanna say all that bullshit about apple this and apple that android this that, dude be real, the phone is crap, be real, just admit it it's a peace of shit, it's like in a comedy movie, you see a wonder coming from a far and when it finally gets close, everybody's like, .....that's it?.

                        I can't but writing opinion! Recently I've visited several Apple S tore(s) in UK, & I found all the iPhone 5 have gotten scratched on their edge after 3/4 days of used in the shop. Whether it's bl ack or white every iPhone 5 has scratched there, mostly invisib le in white version.

                        ...& I really shocked! They could do better with same material b y using the silver aluminium unibody both on the black & white versions. & obviously that would be better looking too. Or they could make the shiny silver edge on black version.

                        however, I've a MacBook Pro, had a iPhone 4S but definitely I' M NOT AN APPLE FANBOY rather than a great tech-fan. Cause d, I've already used some HTC Android(s) & WP as well. Couple of years ago I've used some Nokia SmartPhones too.

                        From my experience, in terms of anodized aluminium unibody HTC is the best, they've made the standard of anodized alumin ium unibody by making legendary HTC Legend, Desire HD, Des ire S, 7 Mozart, One S(***) and so on.... Apple could learn from them. Really this kind of fault is not acceptable from an compa ny like Apple :( How could they make this mistake when they're making colourful anodized aluminium unibody beautiful iPods since from very beginning.

                        ***at very beginning HTC One S had some chipping issue but t hat is solved. I'm using One S for 3 months & didn't get scratch ed yet, hopefully won't in future.

                        N.B: I don't like any cheap looking plastic made Samsung pho ne. & definitely I'll go for iPhone 5 but not sure about which col our I'll get.

                              If you're buying this phone you're simply dumb, I can do much more with my HTC EVO 3D, and that's a device from almost 2 years ago, and the price is less than half of iPhone 5.

                                The apple iphone 5 feels lite and cheap! Looks like crap compared to the 4s. No one wants a liter phone, they want a strong sturdy solid phone. Apple sux, they will never give you a phone with all the bells and whistles, only plus are the camera and O/S!

                                  it's funny how gsmarena claims the black one looks magnificent but yet almost the entire review is done on the white one. LOL
