Re: IPhone 5
You can say that again. No innovation, alot of catch up and copying of android ics and jb. No wonder they resulted to suing everybody left and right. They have no chance. Looks like apple will be going the way of rim, down the sh:tter lol. What am I saying at least Rim is trying something new apple is not, same old predictable garbage.

Re: IPhone 5
Pretty underwhelming without a doubt, I really do not see why someone would want to upgrade to a 5 even if they were a die hard Apple lover. The phone will certainly still sell amazing however I really dont see this phone pushing them ahead if anything it will give everyone else a bigger chance to take away more market share.

Re: IPhone 5
Watched it myself and thought the same thing... they are basically playing catch up with every other smartphones out there. Fullscreen browser, finally after 5 years? I had an iPhone 3G and the bottom menu bar always annoyed me, just wasted what was there of the tiny screen space.
Biggest issue I have with it is the sub 720p HD screen... why on Earth would they choose 1136x640??? That would take a 1280x720p movie and instead of a 1:1 pixel mapping downward interpolate it to a very odd displacement ratio and make videos look worse.

IPhone 5
So not impressed. Same old apple "innovation". Aka copy and catch up. It makes me sick seeing people on twitter saying "i5 is so amazing. I give it 10 stars. Will buy it for sure. " so lame. People are such sheep. S3 is better in every way. Better processor, camera, front camera, navigation, RAM, expandable storage, screen, the list goes on and on. Love me some s3!

Re: IPhone 5
I just went through some of the forums over at iMore, kinda seems like it was a bit of a let-down. Our S3s kicks booty on the i5, but there will bee a zillion people waiting in line for those things. Wow.

Re: IPhone 5
Watched the Live Blog on Engadget from beginning to end. There was basically nothing much announced and nothing impressed me. Each device looked kind of ugly in my opinion/preferences.
iPhone 5 got a thinner/taller screen, thinner/lighter body, three microphones, A6, improved front cam/slightly improved rear cam, LTE and that's about it. It seems like there was a bit of updates, but it's not that "innovative" like Apple likes to use. Let me put it this way. It was innovative when the first Macbook Air, iPad, iPhone came out. All the revisions after that were not "innovative" in my term/definition/view.
iPod Touch got some decent hardware updates, but I don't like how it looks now, or the fact the starting price is $299.99. The Kindle HD sounds better, and then there is the superior Nexus 7.
Don't get me started on the Nano....UGLY. In some ways it reminds me of chinese knockoffs of old Nanos, or generic MP3 players.
The two items I am most impressed are the "Lightning" Dock/Port sync cord, and their new "EarPod" earbuds. Better luck next time Apple..this year's release was boring. - 09-12-2012, 05:04 PM #20
IPhone 5
I don't really know what their proprietary connectors provide that the standard micro USB doesn't (besides increased profits by selling proprietary cords and Now adapters). What's the deal?
Anyways, it was disappointing all around, but it'll still sell a ton. They got a rabid fan base and the love of the media where they mostly cam do no wrong and everything they touch turns to golden big-eyed puppies. I'll be curious how many tech blogs give it an 'honest' review of how far behind they are once today's frenzy dies down.
I particularly love how they touted Facebook integration. You know what I had to do to get that? Install the Facebook app. Same with Dropbox and Instagram and Flikr and any other app.

Re: IPhone 5
What would've impressed me, even being anti-Apple, is if they'd released the phone with a 1920x1080 screen, released two models (one the current size and one 4.7" or larger) , with a quad core processor and NFC. THAT would've literally had me say kudos Apple.

Re: IPhone 5
Not impressed either but they will sell these and not because of Apple fanfolk. In a word, 4GLTE! Welcome to the party Apple. As for the rest of IP5, bleh.
Smart move for many iPhone users? Get the SGS3. But most won't. Enjoy the lines!
