No, never.
2012-09-13 22:42:39
Overpriced i guess? :)
2012-09-13 22:47:56
Yeah. Overpriced and overrated
Using Iphone was cool years ago (when 3g and then 4 was out).
After 4S it became mainstream
2012-09-13 22:50:07
Hipster? Mainstream doesnt mean anything if its good and has a fair price and its worthy.

Anyway it sucks balls comparing to Galaxy 3
2012-09-14 04:00:47
??? galaxy 3 is way too big
2012-09-14 09:43:55
I agree but if something is popular/mainstream doesnt necessarily mean its bad.
2012-09-14 10:39:16
Yes, if something is that popular it actually means it's good. iPhone is a fantastic phone but I'd go with lumia at the moment. And I would never buy a samsung
2012-09-14 12:03:44
popular doesn't mean good either (at least not the best option). it CAN be popular and best, but it doesn't mean it is. also not the other way around like roman said
2012-09-14 14:56:36
That many people buying one product - the product is good. If people buy it then people like it and if people like it then its good, simple as that:)
2012-09-14 15:01:03
nice lemming logic.
2012-09-14 15:46:35
yeah but think about it a bit further. let's take this hypothetical situation. there are 2 products: A and B. B is superior in every way, not many people know about it but everyone owning it is very happy with it, absolutely loving it. product A is a good product, not even close to B but quite fine anyway. it is very popular and people owning it like it and think it is the best (they don't know anything better).

popular is not the best, not always even good. that doesn't mean popular is bad; quite the opposite. getting the popular product is always a safe choice. that doesn't mean there can not be anything better.

and nope, this is not the situation with iphone, android, winphone... just a scenario.
2012-09-14 16:14:51
But that doesn't make the product B bad, it still is good. I mean come on if product B is the choice of most people it makes it good (even more if it's overpriced). Why would it get popular in the first place if it was bad?
I still agree with you, and for the record - I haven't said that popular = best.
2012-09-14 21:08:16
yep, and "good" is subjective anyway. what is good to one person might not be good to another. so...agreed :)
2012-09-14 21:14:33
cheers^^
2012-09-14 21:24:21
If Apple would've released a phone inferior to any other on the market, millions would still buy it.

2012-09-16 11:34:15
Inferior in what aspect? Technical? I would still look better than most of the phones out there so that's why people would still buy it.
And yes, people buy apple products because of the name. But not just because of that. iPhone is a fantastic phone. Looks great, does what it has to good. Tell me one reason why people shouldn't buy an iPhone!
2012-09-16 17:13:36
That is so ridiculous... People that aren't into phones and technologies obviously don't know the differences between the new and old model even now that it is still recent.

For my mom, Galaxy S3 or her old Nokia do the same shit. I wonder if those guys ever met someone that is really into phones.

(not apple fan boy, but this things usually happens with apple)
2012-09-13 23:00:51
Thats freaking hilarious. lol
2012-09-13 23:08:04
Yeah seems like. I have Iphone 4 and for sure I'm not going to buy 5 (atleast yet) and I heard that Iphone 5 is pretty similar to 4S so.. :)

2012-09-13 22:51:45
i have a 710... and i say thats a good phone and do everything iphone 5 does but, of course, with lower hardware and quality...
But the 920 is rocking every smarthphone... not to mension that it is a windows phone, everybody loves microsoft and nokia
2012-09-14 04:47:40

2012-09-13 22:57:27

2012-09-13 23:07:33
Why would you need to do a scam? Your people got shitloads of money..
2012-09-26 09:31:20
compared to galaxy s3, its trash
2012-09-13 23:23:08
i have iphone 4s, the worst decision i've ever did in my life was when i switched from S2 to iphone 4s, and NO i'm not doing the same mistake again, its either Nokia Lumia 920 or S3, no more apples shit.
2012-09-13 23:32:06
Apple 4s. I have made my best decision by chosing 4s over s2 apple 4s is better in everything compared to s2, i dont want to debate 1000 of test proves me.
2012-09-14 08:52:21
Hahaha i feel sorry for u kid :-)
2012-09-15 13:18:53
S2 is better.
2012-09-14 14:35:01
+1
2012-09-14 21:10:59
Ok retard buy one and be happy with it... Hahaha
2012-09-15 13:18:00
I had Samsung Galaxy S2 you fucktard, and switched to Iphone 4S to try apple shit, and i still own the galaxy S2, troll.
2012-09-15 14:31:07
As I said be happy with your shit haha...
2012-09-16 10:36:35
S2 is bigger, thinner and lighter then 4s. S2 has bigger screen but lower resultion. S2 has more ram (S2 1024 4s 512)and it has better processor (it's not big difference like ram but still there's difference). S2's Battery in standby mode can last longer then 4s. Now price S2:10k and 4s:16k. So tell me what is better on 4S ? gogo iSHEEP.

2012-09-16 11:08:00
you're so clueless, better go pre-order new iphone 5 with lot of new stuff ... nuff said.
2012-09-16 21:11:19

2012-09-13 23:44:07
Today I read an article saying that it only got an 1,5Ghz Dual!-Core? Seriously? Such a high prize and that's all? lol.. Samsung ftw..
2012-09-13 23:46:46
compare it to what the others got. Or are you comparing it with your pc? lol
2012-09-14 06:20:43
iOS and windows phone dont need quad-core processors like android to run smoothly
2012-09-14 11:30:49

2012-09-14 22:40:22
lol at first i thought it would have a better camera atleast, but the only upgrade they made was they made its screen longer xD
2012-09-14 04:55:54
similar to Sony Neo V and L :-D But the price difference between 4S n 5 will be huge imo.

It's same.
2012-09-14 07:22:58
I was talking about the price in India :) I think, 4S will drop to arnd 30-32k and 4 will come down to 24-26k. iP5 should start around 44-42 as always (Only if above mentioned drops occur).
2012-09-14 07:26:11
iphone5
16gb - 199$
32gb - 299$
64gb - 399$
2012-09-14 13:44:18
refer #36 :-)
2012-09-14 14:10:58
Omg, thats nothing? In Denmark the 64gb will cost at least 1000+$
2012-09-14 15:11:01
The processor will be twice as faster as the 4S one.
2012-09-14 07:53:20
Only the apps built in native environment will be able to take the major advantage of it. 3rd party apps will take some time to get optimized to that extent(which i think still be distant from native apps in terms of performance). Quad core optimized apps(android) will own them any day :)
2012-09-14 08:00:35
Galaxy SIII specs are far better
2012-09-14 05:04:00
its not coming to argentina for sure, i dont know why. so ill stay with s3
2012-09-14 05:41:48
"Why are people buying Steelseries?!"
Exactly as "Why are people buying IPhone?"

Samsung Galaxy S3 is way better then Iphone 4s/5 so why buy it? Becouse it has an apple on the back?xD
2012-09-14 06:33:53
i buy 4s and dont upgrade to 5 , and i hear Samsung galaxy s3 is better :D

Honestly the whole subscription thing is a waste of money, just get an Ipad if you want all the perks like applications and games and stuff.
2012-09-14 09:00:36
have fun with your ipad on your pocket.
2012-09-14 14:58:05
I have 4s and won't buy anything till it works stable.
2012-09-14 09:44:04
I'd go with Lumia 920
2012-09-14 10:29:38

I never bought anything from Apple,and not gonna buy something in near future.
2012-09-14 12:20:24
I dont need apple shit to be cool. I prefer Samsung products 100x much better and cheaper !
2012-09-14 13:46:10
GS3 > iphone5 , Galaxy Note 2 > Iphone5s/6

want a small girly phone - iCrap 5
2012-09-14 13:51:05
lumia 920 for me :P
2012-09-14 13:53:16
i broke my galaxy s2 and bought an 4s.
for the people that dont know the difference between an apple and samsung.
its the apps that does it for me.
the 4s can do way more then an galaxy s2 or s3.
nor either am i a fan of apple, i still prefer a galaxy s2/s3.
but the apps that apple has or way way better then the google play store.
2012-09-14 13:56:55
it cost 199$ in USA, and here i bet that will cost 700€ LOL
2012-09-14 14:25:45
hey moron, 199€ in STATES and everywhere, even portugal... you can have it too, want to know how?
make a contract with your operator (tmn vodafone optimus) and you pay 50€ or more every month.
2012-09-14 15:01:27
i am waiting for lumia920, looks jazzy and spec wise its up there too!
2012-09-14 14:48:10
lumia 920 has an awesome design, but that windows mobile... uhm
2012-09-14 15:03:25
yep it sounds and looks great! i don't like my galaxy s since it's laggy (gotta do factory reset often to prevent that...) so my next phone will definitely be windows phone. i'm tired of android.

but i will wait until there are a reasonable amount of models out so i can compare.
2012-09-14 21:19:13
I'm going ti change my SE to iPhone but i'd better buy 4S instead of the same iPhone 4S with just a lil bigger screen
2012-09-14 14:50:48
Samsung Galaxy s3 > Iphone 4s/5
2012-09-14 15:00:33
am i the only one, that when a new iphone arrive, buys the previous model?
2012-09-14 15:06:16
Compared to Galaxy S III it's sh*t

Spend ~ 600 $ for something you don't need this's called scam.

2012-09-15 00:24:23

2012-09-15 00:49:59
I'm not a big fan of fancy phones. I'd rather choose one with long battery duration. I use the phone only for communication.

I have iphone 4s and won't replace it.



Should you buy iPhone 5? My suggestion is that u needn’t upgrade iPhone 4S to iPhone 5. But you may try iPhone 5 suppose you haven’t owned any apple product. After all, Apple never lets us down for its unique products.

Anyway, if you want to experience the enjoyment about watching movies on iPhone 5 with a bigger touch screen, you’d better care for iPhone 5 supported formats.

Video Formats supported by iPhone 5
a) H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
b) MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
c) Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

Since not all the videos can be playback on iPhone 5, here we recommend a free iPhone 5 video converter to make it possible to play any movies on iPhone 5. It is VidPie, totally free video transcoding software for windows users and meets any conversion demands from mp4, mov, mts, mxf, avi, etc to any other formats.
2012-09-19 13:07:24
There’s a free site to collect all the poplular games for iPhone/iPad, if you want to download popular, free games for Apple devices, hope you can try aungame. http://aungame.com
