Technology Blog, Last night Apple launched its latest smartphone iPhone 5, which is successor of iPhone 4S. The release or launch event for iPhone was hosted by Tim Cook, and Apple's fans were waiting for it for a long time. The event was covered Live by many TV channels and online video streaming sites. As any other Apple product launch, this event was also focused to give exposure to iPhone 5 news features and specs.

The reasonable price is the Iphone 4 and 4s
The Iphone 5 will outsell any android phone on the market

Every smartphone maker on the market is trying to keep up with the apple.
Clarence here is a prime example of fanboys thinking
"Every smartphone maker on the market is trying to keep up with the apple."
with regards to what, hardware? software? sales? if its the latter i must say you statement to me really means nothing and is an example of someone blindly following what others are buying simply because they're buying it. You praise apple because they sell shitloads? i'll take my interest elsewhere to where the features and hardware are evolving constantly in a bid to give me the consumer a better experience. you can keep your lawsuits and proprietary connections.
Yes after the the 4s we Iphone users were expecting Apple to to topple the Nokia 920 but they did not even match it.
Go google Nokia 920 vs iPhone 5 and then come back here and tell that the iPhone 5 was not a let down.
The man was an innovator yes, but he was a also a business man as to why the some apple products have had small "innovations" per year.
because it's too much or they want to but can't afford to; or people just moaning that another phone is too expensive and you ask them what phone they've got and they reply with an iphone that's costing them like £35+ usually 40 something, and want the new one....
That video just goes to show how powerful the apple brand is. Apple has their consumers brainwash and it seems they just suck up anything that's apple. All i know is I'll be getting myself a Galaxy Note 2.
Also from what I could fathom from the article, knocking the look of the iPhone 5 is kinda going against the general consensus of most journalists. Whilst everyone is entitled to their opinion, I think most people would say the iPhone 5 is a good looking phone and certainly isn't bettered in that department by the S3.
And if the person who wrote this lazy piece of journalism is so sure this will be the last ever iPhone I am willing to bet him/her whatever they like that's it's not. It's ok writing articles that get hits but you need to truly believe what you're writing is correct otherwise you just come across as an attention seeking idiot.
i cant even get my ihphone owning friends to read fact sheets and compare the i5, s3, and lumia 920. they automatically assume 5 is the best and wont even give a second though to the fact that it may not be. is it still one of the top phones? yes, but id put it behind the lumia 920 and s3 so far from what ive read on paper.
I try with the GS3 and the Lumia 900 and i just can't feel it. Is about taste and satisfaction......all my products from Apple has pass 3 years and they work just fine so im one of does that will buy the iPhone 5 i dont know why you try to make feel bad people that prefeer the iPhone...i mean you can try but you are looking a lot like child.
I recently walked into my local Orange shop (T-mobile) all I could see is Samsung phones and other non-Apple phones. The screens were stuff with pieces of card with pictures of the screen.
Only 3 working phones out of 100, that to me summed up everything about the rip off cheap plastic phones which many Asian companies make. They don't care that their phones in shop windows have pieces of card stuffed into their displays, though would ever see an Apple product crudely put onto display not even working?
Give it to Apple to make a store where people can go to get things fixed. Try out something new and learn if you get stuck (Apple even teach advance programs like Aperture or Pro Logic and even Photoshop).
I have never seen Samsung or any other Asian company ever care about what they sell as long as they saturate the market with their tech. (There are Sony shops but there a waste of time as they charge their full RRP on their goods and their advice is always biased towards their own stuff).
But its how Samsung and most Asian companies are successful at what they do. They make millions of variations of the same thing, pop a price tag and ship it out. The innovation lives and dies for Android with Google.
Ask your self: If my phone or Samsung device broke who would help me? A Samsung phone line to India or take it to the shop who probably say its your fault.
I speak as a person, who got one day and walked away from PC's after 15 years of frustration. My house has collected enough cables from phones and computers to probably link the USA with the UK.
Dislike this comment in your own ignorance if you want. But this the whole heart reason for me buying Apple products because they are simpler, better thought out, reliable, durable and most of all there is always someone who can help you in the worst case scenario. I was overclocking PC builder and now programmer.
Everything you said there is not very factual at all. I call up my cell carrier, sprint and they walk me thru troubleshooting or I can walk into a sprint store to get it fixed if that doesnt work.
"Simple"? Well there only 1 button to push vs 3. SO ya I guess to a retard its is 2 buttons less.
"better thought out" Im not seeing that one either. Apple phones look shinny and chromy for the first 5 min you own it, then it looks like a used up hockey rink and after a week of skating on it. Plus they dont let you ever change the battery or use memory cards. Also screen is too small. No ty, im out!
Question:'Everything you said there is not very factual at all. I call up my cell carrier, sprint and they walk me thru troubleshooting or I can walk into a sprint store to get it fixed if that doesn't work. '
Answer:
It is factual. Indeed it is. I don't live in the USA so I can vouch for Sprint but in the UK. You phone a mobile (cell) they run through pre-scripted questions and answer. If the fault is their's there good to help, if yours. In their words "LIVE WITH IT". 99% of the time all your treated as an idiot.

Answer: Simplier. Apple definitions of making things simple. Why make something more complex than it needs to be? Why add additional steps when few work better? Why break a users experience between updates? They use rules like this between the software and hardware. Adobe refused in 2001 to make Adobe range of products from Mac. Even though many executives and workers started out at Apple. But the only request from Steve Jobs was that Adobe products drop a lot of the un-needed extras and unfriendly interfaces. Adobe did that many years later and Apple has become its main platform for its software.
I laugh at folk like your self. You can't accept anything because you have 'I AM ALWAYS RIGHT' printed on your forehead. Could dub your self Captain Hindsight.
The reason why apple will always be on top...the SOFTWARE...THE EXPERIENCE! Nothing can match an iOS device in that department.
lol oh man
...and that experience...every time you pull out your iPhone it makes you feel like you're sitting in one of those egg chairs from Men In Black doesn't it?
I will be buying Iphone 5 because I am coming from Iphone 3GS
Besides, Apple predicts to sell 58 million iPhones 5 until the end of the year, which phone can compete with that? The iPhone probably sells more than all the Android smartphones together.
Apple will never die. They've established in the music industry (iTunes, iPod) and they're strong there. They've established in the computer industry (Mac, MacOS) and they're strong there (there's a niche, but a growing and well developed niche). THey've established in the mobile industry (iPhone). And on the tablet industry as well.

They could sell a brick that looks like an iphone and people would buy it.

I dont like to hate on anything but when ignorant fandroids such as the writer of this article show up I cant help it.
Truth be told if iPhone waS cheaper Android would eat dust.
Even if the iphone was cheaper alot of people would not want it.
The only reason it has a following is media and apple own the software and hardware.
Android is open source and many companies use it.
No smartphone touches the Samsung s3.
People with brains know this.
I remember back in the day the myth about apple computers being faster in rendering then a normal PC. It was a complete load of crap, but people bought into it.
These people are called sheeple.
Not sheep, Not people. Sheeple.
Don't be one.
I dont care about your open source!
Is so difficult to undertand that not everybody will like your choices?
In every head there is a world.
Let it go!
Saying that no one would buy an iPhone if it was cheaper tchh ...
