yes, 4S is the best smartphone i ever tried.........yes, it has awesome camera..........yes, its super fast........yes, its super smart.
then i tried a demo of iphone 5 and its a real killer............
the things i like most with 5...........
¤ sapphire lens which improve overall image quality a bit
¤ a bit better macro quality (not tried it myself...just from examples)
¤ a bit better video stabilizer
¤ the casing on 5 i really liked (i love 4S as well)......5 have metal casing (ans slightly thinner)
¤ the Cpu is VERY VERY fast on 5 by the way.
Macro 5. (example image)

I still prefer the glass back panel tho. IMO it still looks more classy than aluminum.

No significant change except the screen.

Whatever happened to planned obsolescence?

Lol we should start talking about the 5S as
I really didn't see much of a difference
On using the iPhone 5 briefly tbh it felt like using
A longer iPhone 4S in landscape !!!
My 4S seems quicker after the iOS 6 update just like that
iPhone 5 btw at least my 4S does not have battery probs after
That update either anyone seen the apple discussions on apple
Site? Hundreds of people concerned regarding poor battery life!

Scuffgate?
Lets just forget scuffgate, lets talk about how great iPhone 5is please
Posted by Luca-S
Great in what?
It's just a dumbphone with a nice SOC and good camera,nothing more.
Posted by ILoveBhe
It's an apple

I agree with the above in all areas except in camera quality. The camera on the SGS3 is very good but I don't care for Samsung's noise reduction and excessive sharpening and that there is no way of switching these off.

Trouble with iOS is that it's starting to look too samey and stale boring etc. Nothing has change in how the OS looks over the years. Same boring icons no proper home screens etc. But they defo stole the pull down notification bar from Android.
Posted by chunkybeats
oh dear.................... and the control fest continues....... oh well if you have just bought an iphone5 prepared to get that wallet out because bye bye third party products! lol Apple are really really taking the pi$$ for sure!!
http://www.techradar.com/news[....]rk-without-unique-chip-1099441
But as I expected its getting mixed reviews, so claiming its the best phone in the world is a bit overhyped. it aint! Yes good camera but its os is so old, copying other os's ideas and still not pulling it off too well. The best one I laugh is the so called panoramic shooting, you have to shoot the phone in portrait mode lol thats just sh1t sorry but with even my 1.5 yr old gingerbread Neo V can do this hell of a lot better. Seriously iphone 5? ihyped 5, same old non innovative Apple. Roll on my New Xperia V in a couple of months and thats going to use the SGS3 and iphone 5 to wipe its ar$e to be honest!

Now that's apple. A chip on a cable, that is one unappreciated innovation and a lot will be pissed of
Posted by Bonovox
Phone Dog website have reported laggy texting on keyboard & some other lag in the OS. Which they said is unusual but also a strange streaky line going through the screen on the keyboard too

In this video
Plank if you want good camera stabilizer go for OIS in Lumia 920 which also does have great camera too

Heh true, which is why i still keep my Nokia N8 fully charged and ready to go whenever i am going to shoot some photos i want in much better quality.
Again, the iPhone 5 cannot compete with the N8. Hell lets not even mention the 808 !
@ chunkybeats - if this is true about the chip in the lightning cables (such a childish name for such a simple accessory) then it would simply be typical of Apple.
Apple need to learn from Sony's mistakes about trying to force people into buying their accessories only, look what happened to the Memory Stick format, and the minidisc etc.
Apple are in for a downfall next year imo. Theres not much left in the tank.
Posted by Bonovox
There's not really much else Apple can do or even take iOS to another level

Etaab the next phone will be the look the same next year with
Some added nitro under the hood

So...
Posted by Miss UK
Strange how iOS 6 isn't running as smooth on a iPhone 5,
My 4S is working normally not recharged since Monday
25% currently 5hrs 45mins Use 20hrs 28mins standby
And I've used it for shitloads of stuff!
So maps is abit blurred like I would rely
On a phone to find a awkward destination
Use PC simple as apple will launch a update
Prior to it to sort abit of blurring big deal!!!
Posted by chunkybeats
@etaab sh1t yeah Sony was such a pain years ago prior to going micro usb and sd, I still have my old memory stick pro duos and 3 different chargers, im glad Sony woke up and realised!
The iphone5 gets released here in NZ. on Friday and people are so blind saying that they dont need NFC like WTF!, I think kiwis are so typical Apple users with that arrogant and less educated mind, some of my friends have finally realised that Apple are indeed a control company and are selling their iphones for far superior android phones.
Posted by Miss UK
Chunky im eagerly awaiting ur response when you go and test one out
Posted by chunkybeats
don't need to because if I did it would get me lost lol
it's like buying a used condition iphone4 no thanks!!! I'll just hang on and wait for the giant killing Xperia V thank you!
Posted by Luca-S
What's next?
http://pocketnow.com/2012/09/26/iphone-5-camera-purple/
Posted by etaab
Now that WOULD bother me. Good camera quality is what i always want in any phone and the purple colour is total false. That would tip me over the edge and into returning the phone for something else.
Which again is why i havent sold my N8 even though now i carry a SGS3 with me everywhere. Its camera simply cannot be beat by anyone but Nokia themselves.
That keyboard static lines bug is purely cosmetic and more of an embarrasment to Apple than a major issue, or would be for me anyway.

Aww poor iPhone 4 they never really did launch Siri onto that
But it does benefit from iOS 6 lol

Iphone 4S v Iphone 5 cameras
Posted by spencerharry
Apple has released iphone 5 with lots of new features and larger screen so, it's obvious that iphone 5 is more awesome than iphone 4S.
Posted by Miss UK
Maybe so at first but not for long after
U get one (Scuffgate) lol
Posted by johandirano
I think there is not much difference between iphone 4 and iphone 5. Yes like you mention iphone 5 be slightly better but the differences are negligible as far as features and functionally are concerned. Enjoy with you iphone.
Posted by jameshopes
I am happy with my iphone 4S but I desire to have iphone 5.
Posted by Miss UK
Yeah I've been extremely happy with my 4S
Can't believe it's coming upto 2 years since I've had it
Now
Really interested to see how the next iPhone
Performs there's 2 of them too lol
Posted by hihihans
You can test them in about a month time Miss.
I'm also looking forward to see how they do.
Posted by Miss UK
Hans, I can't test them till December gotta wait for
My death sentence contract to finish
Looking forward to the pro's and cons and see if
Either of them have any issues beforehand though
I'm liking those photos of the Gold/Champagne
iPhone 5S I hope it's real and not a fake
Posted by hihihans
I'm afraid it's real gold
Diamond home button?
Posted by Miss UK
