I'm still using my first iPhone, a 3Gs. Although, I'll probably pick up a Nexus when it gets updated (this month or next month I think).
Apple really tries to get people to buy new iPhones, down to IOS getting slower and slower each version. IOS 5 is unbelievably slow on my 3Gs, I'm stuck on IOS 4. BUT, new apps are not compatible with 4, only 5. Apples XCode makes it easy to develop for the latest IOS, but difficult to stay backwards compatible.
Then look at Android. The Android platform gets faster as it is developed and more optimized. It's like a different world. They also cost less (well, the Nexus does, I don't know about the others). Everyone else in my family has already switched to Android.

Yeah I have a regular phone that can text and a Kindle Fire somebody bought me lol. It's the same thing I always said about the stupid ipod touch. If I want to play games, I'll get a gaming system. A PSP. I have a Vita which is fantastic IMO and my ipod video (which just recently died T_T) for music lol. Not a shitty .5 lb ipod with a gyroscope lol.

g00u, the reason why iOS 5 is slow for you is that you are using a 3Gs. They made it for the 4 and 4s, but so happened to also make it for the 3Gs, but half-assed. No wonder why it is slow, get a better phone that is meant to use the firmware

I don't own one, but it's actually not a waste of money, assuming you always want a phone plan, at least in the US. If you're able to upgrade with a cell phone contract to get a cheap price, you can actually sell your old iPhone for more than the new one costs. Of course you have to pay for the plan each month, but assuming you wanted a smartphone anyways, it makes sense to upgrade it whenever you can since selling the old one can more than cover the cost

we'll sell you crap, we'll charge you tax, we're out buying big guns and you'll front the cash (c)

Well most people don't understand crud about products (not saying you don't).
The new Apple product has a new processor, the screen is larger, and it pretty much is changed. The people who were stupid are people who had iPhone 4's and switched to that 4S crap because all that changed was a new sound card.
I'm not into Apple products, but I do follow with the latest tech, I'd probably only stick with the ITouch... the iPhone is much weaker than the Touch (in terms of gameplay). It's really only useful because it's a phone.
Then again I don't have a cell phone either!

i can afford iphone 5 for me, my family and my friends, i still don't buy iphone

Well then you're being quite silly. All the Applehate aside and the costs aside, iPhone is actually a pretty good platform nowadays. I understand not getting it if you don't need it but if you have a use for it and don't buy it just cause, then you are being silly.

i used to have iphone when i didn't know better, i didnt do any research or wtv, i thought they look cool they must be the best. when it was time to upgrade, the new iphone was supposed to come out, i was like "wow iphone 5 must be cool!". What does apple say? "here's the new iPhone 4S, its got awesome camera, and look at the camera and did we mention the camera? look at it! its marvelous! the camera and stuff so yeah here's the camera, i don't really know what else to say since there is nothing else about this phone but the camera, but its super cool!" so then i thought either they went full retard or they just making fun of me and trying to take my money for nothing. then i look around and i see the GS2, it had better specs and better price and none of the proprietary bullshit iphone has (like the plug, thank god they changed it in the iphone 5) how long did it take for them to add the "Delete button" for songs on your phone? i mean WTF?! how fkn basic is that?????

obviously resilience has nothing to do with quality... i mean life is so easy and simple, nothing bad can happen right? nothing... unexpected will ever happen and your every possessions will never have to face any hard conditions... how bout u live in a glass house also? its better looking than retarded bricks and if u want privacy u can tint them or put curtains

My iphone 3 was dropped without any protection a thousand times and it still works beautifully (the back is rather scratched though). I must confess I don't have that same confidence regarding my iphone 4 though.. it has a sturdy case, was dropped 2 or 3 times without problems, but the idea of dropping it again terrifies me.

From AnandTech's live blog:
10:17AM PDT - Same width, but taller, giving it a 16:9 aspect ratio
10:17AM PDT - 1136 x 640
10:17AM PDT - The new screen is 4-inch display
10:17AM PDT - Retina Display, 326 ppi
Rofl, Samsung blows it out of the water.
Which makes me want an S3 even more...

i dont give a fuck. why? because i cant afford an iphone
Comment has been collapsed.
I can afford one, but I'd pay twice as much for anything but an iPhone. Fortunately, Android phones are better priced and can do a lot more than any iPhone ever will. They're barely catching up to features from last year with their new iOS.

Why? Tell me one good thing that Steve Jobs has done instead of his designers or engineers?
Comment has been collapsed.
Died?
(On a serious note, while I hate all the hype and idiots praising Jobs as the greatest genius since Tesla, as he was pretty technologically illiterate, I do admire his business flair and the fact that he always knew how to stimulate his engineers/technicians/programmers/people who REALLY knew their shit to always give their best; he was brilliant at marketing and hiring the right people, which is why Apple's products became so popular in the first place.)
Comment has been collapsed.
OH SNAP!
(I wouldn't consider him technologically illiterate since he did some tech stuff of his own pre-Woz. If by stimulate you mean he's occasionally an overbearing micromanaging asshole, then yes. I do agree that he SHOULD be considered one of the best salesman ever in history.)

Why? Just because I don't agree with the Steve Jobs worship that I should be banned?

Starting flame wars? Other than my comment about the iPhone 5, have I insulted anyone of you in this thread? Yeah, I don't think so.
Comment has been collapsed.
Why? Because you don't agree with the fact that he's right? Everyone's entitled to their opinion, even you. Maybe YOU should be banned fo not respecting other people's right to express ther opinion.

don't say stuff like that! crap might get offended about being compared to iPhone D:

Looks the same, but it's letterboxed because of iPhone fragmentation.
