The only useful feature is LTE imo. And most phones have these features nowadays...

if you want to see the features of the iPhone 5, just do a Google search on 'android phones 2011 features'

If the iPhone 5 has a bigger screen that's enough of a innovation for the Apple company. They'll throw in there a few useless features like they did with the 4S and voilla...the new REVOLUTIONARY and ORIGINAL iPhone 5 !!

BORING!

Personally I think the iPhone 5 is crap IF all the leaks and rumours are true, a stretched iPhone 4S with more power, nothing much more, I've waited a year for the iPhone 5 to upgrade from my old iPhone 4 ......... after trying an Android Jellybean phone, I'm selling all my Apple stuff and going to get the Galaxy SIII or the Note II, sorry Apple but your boring me now.

Using LTE ??? Copycat huh ... U suck

What is going on, seems pretty bad to me. Company like Nokia, which has now reduced to size of that small fraction of Apple, works with all its might to introduce so many new innovations and still people bash Nokia.. I bet apple will come up only with minor upgrades, and still get love. This is injustice!!

You've got to admit though...

When the hype train starts quoting stuff like 'micro sim' and 'small connector' and "same battery size" as new and exciting features... it's time to really look at what's being produced and how much is being charged for it...

:O.

During the past 10 years, with the possible exception of iPhone 2007, Apple has never, ever tried to play the hardware spec race game or be the first to add new features. This is despite the fact other than Samsung who manufactures everything, Apple is untouchable in supply chain due to its vast amount of cash.

Before iPod there were 10000 MP3 players, before iPad there were 10000 tablet computers. The first iPhone also missed many features other phones had at the time. It did not matter because Apple made sure every new thing added to their product worked flawlessly and correctly.

4" screen without really increasing phone size - Do you really believe with all the cash Apple has it can not do a 5"+? I have a Galaxy Note and I totally understand the appeal of big screens, but my wife uses iPhone + iPad. On the road she has a much more portable device for light browsing/app usage, for everything else iPad still blows the Galaxy Note away in screen size pleasure. If Samsung had any success in tablets, it would not create a phablet, it is two devices in one, but don't kid yourself, it is not as good as iPhone as a phone, and it should not even be compared to iPad as a tablet

LTE - Battery was always a problem, my ATT note runs out of battery so quickly in LTE mode and there is no way to turn it off. I am sure Apple's implementation will solve this problem with new generation LTE chips despite a smaller battery. Also Apple did not bother with LTE because so few carriers had it, it is rarely ever the company to push technologies with flaws like this, until it is ready.

NFC - I don't know why Apple will even consider this, there are very few places that actually have this, see LTE. Unless they are pushing their own proprietary payment method, I don't see why they would even bother.

Navigation - We will see how well Apple's navigation stacks up against Google's. It is not who did what first and when, it is how well it is actually done! The Google Navigation is nowhere near Navigon/Garmin's.

Apple is playing the total ecosystem game, a 4" iPhone fits in perfectly with the success of iPad (and soon iPad mini). 3.5" to 4.3" is a smaller difference than 4" to 4.5-4.8". This is why Apple will not release a large screen anytime soon because the intention is to have you pick up both devices instead of trying to tough it out with a 5" and pretend it is a tablet.

Galaxy S has 4' screen two years back........ Now shouldn't samsung sue Apple, as soon as they launch iphone 5..........???

Maybe Apple will introduce something new like they did with Siri last year. That was unexpected and something like that for this new iPhone would be cool.

IPhone 5 .. look like a brik to me :/

46. mhiharis posted on 10 Sep 2012, 12:33 1 0

Apple knew the million of dumb will buy the iphone bcs it's "iphone". It doesn't matter what is in it.

And these features..........................what a joke, even other so called barnd in Asia can provide these.

Every time Apple disappointed me so I gave up. I just love their iPod and that is the only best thing they had ever created.

I'm not sure if you can claim "New Design". It looks exactly like the 4S stretched for a larger screen.

Come on who wants to bet right now that the i5 which it should be called is going to be a minor upgrade compared to how samsung upgraded the GS3

PA. quit posting this crap all over again. Wait till new icrap will be officially presented.
4 or 5 topic which are essentially the same.
BTW. 1440 battery? Is it a joke??

54. ChafedBanana posted on 10 Sep 2012, 18:29 0 0

So.....4G, a bigger screen (just longer really) and no real increase in battery size? I hope the processor is super efficient. That is not good. Battery life is going to blow on VZW's LTE and of course, the battery can't be swapped out when it dies.

55. Gaytor posted on 11 Sep 2012, 05:17 0 0

I will not be buying. Ppl all around the world will also not be buying. Some ppl are put off by the need fr Apple ID,itune ID and many other restrictions.
