Whats Revolutionary About iPhone 5?

[tewest86]

Why are Androids people so caught up on specs? Specs don't mean squat when the operating system is not up to par. Take a Benz. The older E430 had a small V8 with not much hp. However, is was faster than cars with more hp and that we're the same size. Me and my dad used to talk about his all the time. How could MB take the same size car and use a smaller motor but outrun the cars that boast about their hp all on their ads. It's not what you got, but how you use it. Ask any female.

Please read my previous post. You'll understand. Specs or not, the Android OS has more features and runs more smoothly.

You want more? Smart Stay. Motion Gestures. Quad core and/or 2 gigs RAM in a mainstream phone. NFC (not the first, but one of the first. Meanwhile the iPhone still doesn't have it.). You can call this barely revolutionary, but name an iPhone feature that's even the slightest bit revolutionary.



Haha. Like JHBThree's post wasn't factless banter. Why can't you just go back to iMore instead of trolling here on Android Central where you obviously disagree with pro-Android views.



Nope. I can speak from experience, having actually compared iOS and Android devices. Granted, I haven't used the iPhone 5, but the Android devices I've used are pre-iPhone 5 so it's still fair. I can honestly say that the Android devices performed everything faster than the iOS devices.

I think you comment on hardware spec has been debunked. The current A6 soc smokes any Android hardware, whether it's quad core, or has 2 gigs of ram. It doesn't matter.

Perhaps Samsung can liquid cool the next gen Exynos. That would be revolutionary. Lol.

As for NFC, I will let all 3 of you have it for yourself.

Because it's all they have.

That's simply not true. They have an OS based on arguably the most powerful and adaptable OS in existence. That's a pretty big deal IMHO.

I was suggesting their factless arguments based on hardware specs, were all they have. I think Android is a fine o/s.

Ah. Then that makes sense to a degree. lol

I think both OS are great. Android is clearly ahead in development in my mind. The thing about iPhone is they want to have to much control over your device. You are much more limited with an iPhone than an android device. IPhone always seems to be 18 months or so behind. One thing people like about android, you buy a device and have tons of options and upgrade possibilities. If you buy the iPhone, your upgrade comes when the next iPhone comes out. Both good just depends on your intentions with the device.

Please explain.

Please explain.

(1) You can completely replace the operating system and various components with ease. Jailbreaking = the most difficult and tedious thing I've ever seen, and I don't consider myself to be technologically incompetent .

(2) Stock, you can do a bit more and customize it plenty with the use of widgets, launchers, toggles, etc. That type of customization is only available while being jailbroken, but again, see #1 for my thoughts on that.

(3) Sort of like #1, the ability to replace and customize various file system pieces and phone system images is incredibly powerful if you (a) know what you're doing, and (b) adequate development/support is available. For example, changing the kernel adds so much more "power" and "flexibility" that kernel replacement alone makes Android a more powerful and adaptable base system--IMO.

(4) Aside from "hacking," you have, generally, 4 major Android "flavors." You have stock (Nexus), TouchWiz (Samsung, HTC (Sense), and Motorola (Motoblur). While some point to this as a weakness, many consumers appreciate being able to have the same "ecosystem" while having the ability to choose hardware/software that best reflects their needs, desires, etc.

There's plenty more, but those are the big 4.

That is not revolutionary.

Nothing you mention is revolutionary. Nothing.

If NFC becomes a widespread, adapted technology I'd argue that would be at least partially revolutionary.

Ehh. Quite a few pundits have said it will not become widespread without apple on board.

But, it's also existed for a long time before it was introduced in phones. (and some operators overseas have offered wallet features since before it became a twinkle in Googles eye)

Or you can like both? The world is not black and white, like you would have us believe.

True. However, would that not be the same as widespread adoption?

I like both, to a certain degree.

Where is your evidence to back this up both sides here seem to be extremely biased with no real evidence backing either sides claim this argument is getting you guys nowhere clearly and is nothing but a baseless trollfest you iPhone lovers realize your on an android forum right? You want your bragging rights put up your numbers. Android guys you wanna prove them wrong show em something. Jesus Christ y'all sound like 5 year olds.

Don't act like the "jerks" are only on one side of the argument though.
