Well that's the thing, you open this free app instead of the camera app and it there is no clicking or messing about to stitch it, you just scan round and it does it all for you! It can't be any simpler so just as good (if not better - not used it?) than doing it via the camera app.

So us iphone 4 users don't have to upgrade to do panoramics, i've had that app a few months so well before the 5 came out.

For iPhone 4 users, it's the only way, but I like built in. Pretty sure the method used my the Apple app is different as well. Ah, just looked at your link rather than the picture, very nice but completely different to iOS Panoramas which are more traditional and don't need a viewer.

Ah ok, like I say not seen the ios ones but just thought for what is a free app it's an amazing bit of software. Only panoramic shots i've seen taken before were with the Wife's digital camera which were a lot more work.

Because you didn't use an iPhone so therefore yours is rubbish haven't you grasped this concept yet?

Panoramo photography is something Apple invented and the sooner you accept that the better!!!

I couldn't give a **** what your SE phone does and I don't believe I have said anywhere that your SE phone can't do it, this is a thread about iphones so if you haven't got anything constructive to add but just want to tag along as a knocker like other apple haters then jog on and find something actually constructive to do

Eh, where have I said that? I specifically said I used a free app, therefore not Apple's doing My phone is over 2 years old so i'm pleased to have the ability to do something that wasn't available on my phone when I got it.

Android phones get replaced and forgotten about every few months so I much prefer sticking with my phone that is still supported after 2 years of ownership.

Tony has gone quiet, today's news that the A6 is even faster than first thought is probably stinging a bit, all those lemons.

Looks like Samsung do a dual core version of the S3 especially for USA, but they have also tested the quad core version in this test


http://www.gforgames.com/gadgets/iph...hes-who-25394/


The amusing part of the story is that nobody (and everybody) was wrong about these results. Android enthusiasts were only looking at the scores of the quad-core variant, whereas iPhone 5 fans were dismissing both Galaxy S3 versions simply because, on average, the dual-core Snapdragon S4-equipped model yielded a lower score than Apple’s flagship phone.

The results I posted earlier contained both versions of the S3. The US version did really bad.

No they were all dual core CPU versions, only GPU were quad core (Exy/Mali400 & S4/Adreno225). The only phone with quad core CPU and GPU was LG with S4Pro/Adreno320 and that only appeared in one of the tests.

Sorry to disappoint jack but im busy this week on a course so even at 1.3ghz the apple is still slower, but i did say take the geekbench benchmarks with a pinch of salt, my S3 hits nearly 1900 and its not being pushed by geekbench, its not a good test for quadcores as it doesn't seem to be optimized very well unlike quadrant standard (shame its android only).

Big day in Zurich today, it's the official launch of the iPhone 5. I had the pleasure of witnessing the massive queues and tents that went right round the block down Bahnhofstrasse last night, how sad!

An official apology by Apple:

http://news.sky.com/story/990709/app...ap-app-defects

In a statement, Apple CEO Tim Cook said: "At Apple, we strive to make world-class products that deliver the best experience possible to our customers. With the launch of our new Maps last week, we fell short on this commitment.

"We are extremely sorry for the frustration this has caused our customers and we are doing everything we can to make Maps better."

Seriously?

You do realise that lens flare is not an iphone problem, don't you?

As as semi profesisonal photographer I can tell you that you can get lens flare under the circumstances as described on any camera, from a phone to £5k worth of professional dslr and lenses due to light refraction

That's why proper lenses come with lens hoods

The problem isn't the iphone, its all the crap reporting

Apple have advised people user other software now. Why don't they just do the decent thing and withdraw it until it's ready?

Obviously you do realise that this lens flare problem on the iPhone 5 does not occur with the iPhone 4/4S, do you?
