It was put in separate iphone shit threads so it's not my fault they all ended up in one and I've seen plenty shit spread out in other forums that get no attention even when reported or it gets some sorry excuse as to why mods let it remain.

thanks Smilie

thanks Smilie

In the first place I never said I didn't like the iphone all that was posted was the ignorance of many buyers of them.

Stand corrected and agree, sort of. Many just know what they like and are comfortable with it. iOS makes it easy enough for anyone to use it from kids to the elderly. That's partly why it's so popular.

And it's just as relevant as letting someone post ingredients in every food thread it's showing the ignorance of the users.

I'm preordering one tonight. I just ordered a set of Spigen screen protectors and I guess I'll have to wait until Sept. 21 to be able to order an Otterbox Commuter... This will be my first iPhone (not first Apple product though). I'm honestly tired of my Android phone. It's slow, unresponsive at times, and the battery life is horrid. I'm lucky to get 5 or 6 hours of use out of it and that includes after a factory/fresh install of the OS on the phone. I'll just use it for a media player now that I'm getting an iPhone 5. :3

there are a lot of new features if you skip one or two models….


apple is taking a lot of people who upgrade every new release but if you have an older phone and you wait to upgrade then you do get a nice set of features….
New features is more on the software than hardware... I'm thinking that if the next iphone in 2013 doesn't impress me... then i'll resort for another OS.

It's easy to compare an iphone to a random android phone why don'y you try comparing it to a Samsung Galaxy S3

The disappointment just tells us one thing: Apple fans focus on the appearance of the new iphone more than the functionalities.
That's how I feel... and the reason why I'm probably going to give Window Phone 8 a try... or giving android another chance. Apple don't wow me anymore with their products... maybe the iPad mini... for commuting purposes since my ipad is a bit big and heavy.


Quote from dzap :
I watched the keynote last night...and...I did not enjoy it. First, it seems like they were rushing for some reason. They were all speeding through the iPhone 5 features. It was very, very weird.

I'm used to Steve being on stage and introducing it, giving slight moments of pause for people to applause and just the way he wants to show people new product videos...it really felt like Steve loved what he was doing, and wanted the whole crowd to love it as well.

I also noticed Phil screwed up when he was finishing up the iPhone 5 "And that's iOS5...the most amazing iPhone since iPhone." laugh out loud He meant iPhone5.

But it's all too corporate now with Apple. The "charm" isn't there anymore. Steve was a dick in many aspects, but he knew how to get people to love him and knew how to present. It feels like the mantra has changed at Apple with Cook..he's still a good guy and all..but it feels just so..corporate. It's fine for a company that has always been known to do it that way, but Apple to go from enthusiastic to corporate, just feels so empty.

I didn't even get through to after the iPhone 5. Only to the iTunes part and then had to shut if off. Usually I watch it all the way to the end. It's just not the same without Steve anymore. I've never truly liked Apple, but Steve was a damn good salesman, because it felt...real.
Agreed! that's why the iPhone 5 is more of a tweaked from the iPhone 4S instead of bringing something "new" to the table w/ the phone.
