The new Apple iPhone 5 is here! It wasn’t a shocking surprise, but rather a very solid upgrade to the existing iPhone 4S. Apple delivered on all fronts starting with a larger…

I'm truly disappointed. I'm a true Apple fan. I have had iPhone 4 and upgraded to the 4S, saw no visible changes. now I'm looking at the iPhone 5 and i thinking i must have been a dummy for waiting this long.

really?

being a true Apple fan & having both the iPhone 4/4S why would you expect a major difference? keeping the shell relativity the same but tweaking what's under the hood has always been Apple's practice.

Its not about design if you buy a phone for the look you stupid its about features, battery life, screen resolution. the things that will actually make the phone usable. a phone could look like s**t but be the best phone mankind has ever seen

No Wireless Charging and NFC, apple you didn't do it this time.

Not really that impressive. It looks like Apple is lagging also no NFC? Dumb move. I do like the solid back moving away from the glass but I didn't see anything about a stronger screen. Are we still going to smashed up iPhones? It is a positive step and it will sell out because it is an Apple product but nothing in there is impressive.

Just overall not impressed. I'ts the I-phone 4 and 4s with LTE (Late to party) a 1inch bigger screen (late to party), and the A6 ( pretty good). I think I have been spoiled by android, I just don't see a huge redeeming value for people to jump from there 4s to the 5 (Maybe 4). Gotta admit I am somewhat bias though because I never liked the closed ecosystem for the I phone. I think samsung will nail them on the LTE patents though.

I just realized. If people thought sprints network is bad now....Oh Boy! is it going to be boggled down when the I-5 launches on there network. It will be interesting to see.

i can say i'm never impressed or excited about any phone launch until i hold it in my hands. from there i make my judgements. but i will mention this again...4 month old GS3 for sale...any takers? lol

If compared to the upcomming Xperia V then is a big MEH.

i am deeply inlove with the new iPhone!!! but hate that it really looks like the leaks!!! even though its nice, but it dont give me "Jaw-dropping" experience like the S3 (not even a fan of samsung and android)

but really glad that they agree for a taller iPhone.. but still wishing a bit taller and wider like 4.2"

haters gonna hate but i really like it! very compact build!! now im getting a lumia and an iPhone..

but i wonder why iPhone dont have the joyful color like the iPod touch and nano? maybe it will make it s ovious that they "get inspiration" from nokia lumia?

i think lumia 920/820 and other WP will be pissed coz iPhone's now ready to ship and will "conquer" the mobile world again..

i feel bad for nokia and microsoft!! i wish that these lumia will be ship on september!

i dont see anything that surpass androids.
or anything that could be hard appealing.

iPhone 4s atleast had something called SIRI that made competition,
wat this iCopy 5 phone could do?
