You really know **** all Jack (or Jack **** for short ) you are the victim of Apple's propaganda, you fall for it all the time, even now you think they have produced the best handset on the market, which shows you how naive you are, you are a total apple fanboi, do you have an apple tattoo on your forehead?
You need to grow up Jack, when you see that you are being fed **** by a company you will never, ever say a bad word against, the word sucker comes to mind, and if you think the iphone 5 is good, go buy one, the rest of us will sit here and laugh at you for doing so

That's true. I do believe what Apple has told me, what's not to believe? The iPhone 5 is twice as fast as the iPhone 4s which was twice as fast as the iPhone 4. It is a beautifully constructed device, not some cheap piece of plastic. It is the best iPhone ever. My iPhone 4s is still an incredibly capable device which due to running iOS easily outclasses any Android phone. You can up your numbers all you like Samsung, but you've still got a ****ty cheap engine under the hood.

I can't wait for iOS 6.

Here's some Sammung fuel for you.

I don't see a problem. Do you use any devices that won't work? I certainly don't and I'd consider myself a power user.

o here some comments form the press,


'We ran an immediate poll to gauge people’s instant reactions to the new phone and as with most Apple launches there seems to be a fair bit of positive excitement. The fact that 44pc of existing iPhone users already want to upgrade without needing to think about it shows the loyalty to the brand. However, none of the new features seemed to instantly grab people with 39pc saying none of them really appealed.'

so 44% of apple customers are sheep, 39% think that it is a pointless upgrade, 17% can take it or leave it.

You fall for it hook line and sinker Jack you know that the S3 is actually more advanced under its cover than that iphone 4 or even the new 5 dont you? If you dont think so, go check the spec's out

Oh, just to p155 Apple off for having the lightest/thinnest smartphone out there, seems they are 9 months too late
More drivel from Apple and you fall for it

Its such a shame Apple have now given Microsoft and Samsung headstarts (again) on the smartphones.

The Iphone is now 2 years out of date. The next model, will probably come in 2 years time.

Meanwhile, Microsoft and Android will be pushing out new technology (not rehashing the old stuff like CRapple does).

Doesnt matter how much money you throw at CRapple, they've had their day.

How does the off the shelf processor in the Samsung phone compare to the custom A6 chip in the iPhone? And how exactly are you comparing it? The answer is you can't, it's like comparing an Apple with an Orange. You should stick to comparing HTC phones with Samsung, that's good sense. Maybe next year when your phone gets the latest operating system it might be able to perform basic functions like not crashing and being smooth in operation, everyone knows the old version of Android you're running is a bit ****.

So you saying that because intel chips are bought off the shelf then they arn't the best on the market at the min for home PC's?

A chip made by a chip specilaist will normaly be better than a chip made by a jack of all trades like apple. Thats why its called expertise.

Does it really surprise you that the gutter press are picking up on negatives? I welcome the change, Apple did us proud keeping the old dock connector going for so many years, but times change and there's no denying the new connector is an upgrade. This will be the item that everyone who doesn't own the device and never intends on buying the device moans about.
