come off it mate, no need for this comment. so because apple isnt his fav choice there must be a petty reason like ''Did your girl dump u by the iPod display''

how about i ask you something as stupid like why do you always defend apple?have you fell in love with siri, is siri your girlfriend etc etc

see what i mean

Nope Siri is my wife of 15 years and we have 3 kids together.

I don't enjoy the constant bashing of Apple around here either, I feel it's kind of annoying and over-used, but Apple is just looking worse and worse by the day.

The blind fanatics
The "new" things that have been around for years
The hypocrisy
The unjust legal action

It's just stacking up. Soon, Apple will need to be bashed in the head by their consumers in order to wake up.

Now that's a good post man.

It's nice Apple made the screen easier to replace, and replaced the back with metal instead of glass, because those are the 2 things that needed replacing the most on the 4 and 4S. Any word on what kind of glass they used on the front? Gorilla Glass 2, or are they using some "scratch-resistant" glass that doesn't do anything?

The build quality of the Iphone 5 has been improved. I was suprised when i saw the drop test. I give apple credit for that, knowing the history of the Iphone 4/4S duribility. But still no Iphone for me. Why.....? well I am waiting for IOS 7.
