actually the aluminum back is the only thing that is not pleasant on the iPhone...

but build quality is superb! have you seen the drop test between s3 and iPhone 5? s3 broke down on the 2nd test while iPhone got only scraches..

im not fanboying here.. i only said that coz i saw it!

Everything else thats on it is the same as it was in 07. Idk how people buy the same phone every year and not realize that it's not worth it.

But its their choice I guess.. Whatever makes them happy.

you're absolutely right!

i really hate when people hate people who bought an iPhone... i mean its their choice and they love it.. that makes them happy and besides its their money! and their life!

What i bother about most is how much money i have to "actually drop" from my pocket and not these drop tests which are just for academic interests with no practical value because when you accidently drop a device you don't drop it the way these tests are done. Probability of device going out of service after an actual drop these days is same for all in nrealtime scenario. Rest everything about build quality is marketing stunt. So if i can save $500 (India) and get SIII instead of IP5 (or even Note II) why would i ever bother about IP5? Who cares if it 's aluminium or polycarbonate... a case is needed in any case for all and on an average phones are replaced in ~3 years here (India)

I wonder how will this drop test turn out against a Nokia lumia 900

Amazing that a company that's such a failure is #1 n the world based on market cap value.

Who cares in which place Apple is while such things are happening. People are buying real products not companie's fame or place in an statistic table...

Usually after new smartphone release you can check YouTube and find customers complaints about one or two main problems. But when I have searched for "iPhone 5 Problems" in YouTube, I was SHOCKED, I have found so much people complaining about so much different iPhone 5 problems. Not one or two main problems but DOZENS of different problems! Maybe it is just me, but I have never before saw so much complaints about such big amount of different problems for one single smartphone after so short time after release!

There is a bunch of different screen problems like a flickering, bad screen sensitivity, even yellow marks on the screen or flashing.
There is bunch of complaints about antenna problems.
There is complaints about Ambient Light Sensor problems.
There is complaints about various sound problems.
There is complaints about purple tints in pictures.
There is complaints about iPhone 5 scratches out of the box.
There is complaints about WiFi problems.
And so on and on...

And I'm even not talking about iOS 6 or Apple Maps problems...

And you know what is the most pathetic in this case, that Apple already knew about some of these problems even before release. For example about build quality problems they knew even before release but they just dont care about that...

Watch video:
"Foxconn Worker Claims New iPhone 5 is Poorly Made"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l4vpyQIafY

And you know what Apple's response is the same as always: "IT IS NORMAL!"
Purple tints on Apple iPhone 5 pictures is the camera's normal behavior or iPhone 5 scratches out of the box are also normal...

And everyone who don't believe what I say about all these problems and or think that I'm just trolling, just go to YouTube and search for "iPhone 5 Problems" also you can find many complains on Google, just Google for it! ;)

P.S.
And please don't say that I'm trolling because:
1) It is my opinion.
2) It is based on real customers complaints out of the internet.
3) It is based on many articles in different web sites.

Yes, gallitoking, I know about that and it is SHOCKING!!!
I'm also sorry to say that but in my opinion it just proves theory that the big part of people buy iPhone just because of brand name. :(

P.S.
Have you bought iPhone 5?
If yes, then what is your experience with it?

The A6 is an in-house design, and it is far from a failure.

And I'm sure that you don't understand about what you are tolking about. ;)

What your are saying is utter crap and totally wrong. Guess you do not anything about the Hardware industry and do not even know the difference between a CPU and a SoC

"Hand drawn CPUs on the other hand are painstakingly laid out by chip designers" - Are you seriously kidding????

PS: Coming from someone who has worked on many CPU and SoC teams.
