The Apple iPhone 5 just beat the iPhone 4S sales record by registering 5 million sold units in its opening weekend, but that was short of analysts expectations…

"The Apple iPhone 5 just beat the iPhone 4S sales record by registering 5 million sold units in its opening weekend..."
But I also think that soon iPhone 5 may beat disappointment records due to easy-to-scratch, false maps and screen incompatibility with old applications...

It didnt beat it because the 4s was launched in less countries than the I5 so they are on par contrary to Apples sugestion . more countries should give more sales than 1 million extra and especially with a newer and more improved phone .The 1 million extra phones for the i5 only accounts for the xtra countries added which in reality is a failure by Apple .Do the maths 4 million 4s phones in 7 countries =571,428.57 phones per capita and 5 million I5 phones in 9 countries =555,555.56 phones per capita, which phone sold more? The 4s sold 571 thousand and I5 sold 555 thousand phones . So 4s sold more phones than I5 for the same period of three days.If 4s was sold in 9 countries it would have been 571,428.57 times 9 which would be more than 5 million sold by I5. Apple is deceptive.

i would not say it is "easy to scratch" -- it is no easier than any other material such as the plastic on many phones… obviously glass is the best substance, but i would rather have the aluminum than the glass (ie no substance is perfect yet-- maybe liquidmetal?)
and the screen is not incompatible with old applications… and if you take a huge issue with having black bars, i guarantee almost all apps will be updated by the end of the month

iOS users can't wait to upgrade to v6 because they just can't stand v5. Android users on the other hand are still satisfied with 2.3 and couldn't care less about upgrading.
iOS users = unsatisfied
Anroid users = satisfied

You satisfied because you already know that's about as far as it will go for updates.

Oh.. so iOS 6 is now on 100Mil devices, huh? Well too bad.
Today I finally broke free from the walled prison! Today I sold my iPhone 4 and bought me a Galaxy S3! :D
Today began a new age - an age of freedom! :)

I jailbroke my iphone prior to leaving iOS. Stability problems and incompatibility problems made me give it up. It was cool for a while but I need a full featured dependable phone and having to keep with all of the jailbreak bs was just too much. Besides I shouldn't have to hack my hpone in order to have essential features. Running Galaxy Nexus unrooted with the extended battery from Samsung and couldn't be happier!

well jailbreaking gives me all type of customization without expence of performance or lag.... and cannot argue at genuine android customization...

Android could never achieve this. Many year old phones won't even be getting ICS, much less Jelly Bean.

I suppose when a software update is mainly updates for apps that cant be updated normally, and for bug fixes, it would be easy to roll out.
Even easier if older models dont get the full update but rather fragmented versions of it.
If this logic was applied to Android the 2.3.6 update for the Original galaxy S was equivalent to 4.0.
In that case any system app that gets an update will be considered just as "big" as a new iOS.
Its all about relativity.
Small incremental upgrades over 3-4 years, or one MAJOR update once including constant system app updates for as long as device lives?
If the features are comparable then really, having to wait years for a "new" feature is worse.
Android 2.2 > iOS 6 (in reality iOS 3.5)
