now that it's hardware can handle it... Maybe the 4s could've, but not very well.

If iPhone can cooperate with Google or Google Android. Ok. World best and the only best smartphone in the world.

I'd rather get an Android phone like the S3 or Optimus G and install a launcher which looks like iOS, if I ever needed it.

Last week, the nokia lumia 920 with a bottle opener and now the iPhone 5 with a blu-ray drive?LOL! Manufacturers now have to think twice of putting some neat and off the hook features before they release a new handset if they want huge number of sales...

Maybe, just maybe...iPhone 6 with the 6th row of apps might help with the Blu-ray problem!! :P

Check the iPhone 10...:D

Thank you for spelling "Blu-ray" correctly, something the article's author failed to do

Huhhhh...i didn't notice that. Lol...but since you've mentioned it, seems like there are others who think Blu is blue...maybe they are not familiar with it just yet...including our author. Haha.
Thanks man!

I thought it had NFC. Oh well. I think the Iphone is over hyped. It's a good phone, and maybe on the bottom end of a high end device. But it's not a new high end device, it never really has been since its debut. It's always playing catch up.
Iphone had superior screens and camera, now they don't have superior anything, it's just good.

Blue Ray Drive Seriously? How about transforming into a robot that would kick your ass

Too bad it would transform into a pathetic robot and not be able to kick anyone's ass.

I'm glad you said that. I was hoping you were joking at first because I was about to facepalm a brick.

1-5 spot on. That's what i am missing in iPhone 5. That is why i switch for windows from my Android, probably Nokia lumia
6 I take it as a joke. Good one.

At least the 920 comes with 32GB of storage from the get go.

People will go to the store to buy it immediately. Why? See the video below

This list of what the iphone 5 should have been could be a mile long. Apple have done as little possible to get the iphone 5 to pass as 'new' and different.

I know this was already posted up the chain, but this is just so right on, yet sad, hilarious, and amazing. The real reason Apple does so well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v

I can't see Apple introducing microSD cards. Looking at how protective they are of their products, I cannot see them allowing you to use a microSD card unless Apple made their own unique ones. They're never going to let you put a Samsung SD card into an iPhone.

Blu-ray? lol - How about a customizable UI? Apple will never use microSD as that would eat into their profits since they already rip the Zombies off with 299 and 399, 32GB and 64GB phones

I have a few better ideas:
1. Redesigned OS that can scale better with multiple screen sizes, have widgets and other cool features.
2. Multiple devices with various screen sizes.
3. More innovation such as the S-pen that allows more onscreen options.
4. Don't make it look like.....
Damn it!! I just described Google and Samsung.

Wow Ray. You actually wrote it. Every point is valid. Except the blu-ray of course because disk drives ain't for iPhones. It would defeat the whole purpose of one-hand operation, but there is always a need to troll. Good one :)
Maybe next year, tablets will come with such drives and usb ports? That would totally replace laptops.

Funny. You want feature already found on other platforms. Good thing everyone is copying Apple.

The iPhone 5 is a great improvement over the iPhone 4S. It's thinner, lighter and faster. Apple has introduced many new features that will easily improve the overall user experience with the handset, such as a bigger screen, LTE and a more capable processor. However, we do feel that the company could do even more,
hahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!

Those 5 things will come, in the iPhone 5S. If they're lucky.
HAH!

All this was known, because Apple wants is to keep all users as slaves, giving them bread crumbs, to continue taking away your money. Within 6 months will get the iphone 5s with two or three little things new, after will follow the iPhone 6, but maybe something new that will be incompatible with previous iphone to sell power adapters so. want to get your freedom?. Switch to an open OS like Android

Their might be a solution for NFC , like Apple makes a case which has a dedicated NFC
chip right ?
