Re: I just ordered an iPhone 5..

but the thing is people's views are what's seen in the news, remember couple years back there was huge thing on tv where they would show how phones are stolen and stuff. so maybe she is talking about that.

A trip to the Apple Store

So I was at the Apple Store a little while ago.

Got to see the new iPhone 5.

My reviews:

  • The phone is incredibly light weight
  • The black one looks like my kids play phone
  • The white one is sleek looking
  • Nothing exciting or new about the display
  • Just a little longer than the 4S

Other than the weight, it was nothing spectacular. Pictures taken by my S3 (and a whole bunch of folks in the store were looking at my S3, no kidding :snooty:)

Meanwhile, the MacBook Pro with retina display :hayaa:. What a beauty!

Re: A trip to the Apple Store

Yea, the white one looks very sleek! I can definitely see the difference in length.

Re: A trip to the Apple Store

Yes it is a great design no doubt.

Re: A trip to the Apple Store

I feel robbed. Why is the iPhone 5 so crap technically compared to the S3.

Re: A trip to the Apple Store

^^ It's not "so crap" but it is definitely missing some awesome features we have on the S3, biggest one being NFC. I hear their maps aren't that great either.

Re: A trip to the Apple Store

Apple are all talk. All marketing. In comparison it certainly lacks huge amount of things! I love the S3 just don't like the size/design.
Hmmm...

Re: A trip to the Apple Store

Nothing special about the iphone 5 apart from the fact its lighter and sexier. :hehe:

let’s talk about performance of my “new” iPhone5 vs others..:slight_smile:

Let’s see how actual performance parameters of most popular smart phones and tablets in vogue are beyond the spec hype :slight_smile:

AnandTech - The iPhone 5 Performance Preview

Specs don’t make the device - the experience does..:slight_smile:

Plus based on my experience of making my phone fall umpteen times, I had to watch this drop test video of Samsung S3 vs iPhone 5

re: The iPhone5 Thread

Prairie Girl, it would be nicer if we heard YOUR testimonial, not clips we've all watched. We want to hear from you.

re: The iPhone5 Thread

My testimonial is coming soon :) ...but for me the performance of devices analyzed by non sponsored/non partisan websites is definitely a factor in making decisions too:)

But before I went into detailed comparison at AnandTech, I was expecting stiffer competition from S3 specially for example take the case of resolution into account and the iPhone 5 is actually faster than the new iPad followed by HTC One.

The title reminds me of this image I came across a while ago :@:
