re: The iPhone5 Thread

Not a big fan of the new iPhone 5 to be honest. Everyone was losing their mind over how big the screen is (GS2 still bigger) and how its alot faster (GS3 faster). In terms of processing speed, its only a little bit faster than the 4S and in all honesty it seems like they’ve just added minor design upgrades and thrown it into the market.

Apple in itself is a very controlling and dominating company. iHate iTunes because of problems with the constant updates that often came with bugs that required re installation even just for syncing. I personally owned an iPhone 4 for over a year. After getting over “apps”, the device became very impractical for me. The dependency of the iphone 4 on iTunes was the nail in the coffin for me. I have been with GS2 for over a year and wouldn’t ever go back. Not to mention the new macbooks being DESIGNED TO NOT BE UPGRADABLE. Even typing that seemed silly.

My bro is a die hard apple fan. He has a macbook pro, iPad, Apple TV and has owned every single iPhone version since it was first released on the market and even he was quite turned off by the iPhone 5.

However, while I do despise the company and their corporate strategies, Apple products are definetly great at what they do. They are not, in my opinion however, the dominant product on the market in way, shape or form.

Yes. I do not like Apple.

ok this is going to be fun.

1st.yes screen is bigger for some people that’s a bad thing. like me. i had an S3 i sold it because screen is too big. at some point enough is enough. for S4 the screen is going to be 5.0. Galaxy note 2 has 5.3 or 5.5 inches screen why not get that? for me 3.5 was little smaller, but 4.0 is perfect. its not a phone after that its a tablet.

not S3 is not faster then iPhone 5. google benchmark tests between iphone 5 and galaxy s3.
point of minor upgrade. yes the design is the same. its the little stuff you do in that makes it great. anyone here who hates iphone 4 design? anyone? hello anyone? the design is done very well. it the changes you make that count. its the product you using it makes it better. Android might allow you to do better changes than iOS. but the the s3 is pretty bad. it’s plastic. Plastic vs Glass and Aluminum? which is better?
Not to mention the new macbooks being** DESIGNED TO NOT BE UPGRADABLE. **What does that even mean?
