I heard the next GSIV will have a 5" screen. The screen will be increased for the user experience. Not so they can house a monster battery, a replaceable graphics card and cooling fans so it can run for at least 5 minutes. Just you wait iSheep, the GSIV will destroy iPhone 5.
I LOVE this new commercial. Classic Apple. Makes me believe some of what they were is still there.
Yep. Please - work out all the kinks for the rest of us. Apple has done a great job getting you signed up as perennial beta testers. Get iOS 6 fixed and I'll buy from the 3rd major production cycle once the scratching gets figured out. It's going to be a great phone.
The damage is on a few phones out of millions... there are no such thing like a perfect batch of millions of phones, no matter who builds them.
You can still use maps.google.com on the phone as a web app.

The S3 in the PCmag test is dual core, they used the US version.
the Touch has A5 proc., different from the iPhone5
Sorry, I meant the current iPod Touch should probably match the previous iPhone. The current iPod Touch is version 5, compared to iPhone version 6, anyway, isn't it?
Of course it is, and I always assumed it would be. Which is why the kneejerk, myopic troll reactions of LOL UNDERSPECCED ONLY 1 GB RAM DUAL CORE were so fucking stupid. This is always the case though- the trolls get disproven about absolutely EVERYTHING they say, every single attack gets exposed to be bullshit, yet they repeat the same shit the next year. And not just Apple haters mind you, but also from supposedly Apple fans. Even the leaked case, which was universally decided to be 'ugly as hell, not Apple-like, trash' etc online, and now once the phone is in people's hand its being described as possibly the nicest/most beautiful device ever made. The contrast is always mindblowing, yet every time its the same thing.
I upgraded my wife's 4 to iOS 6 and left mine at 5.1.1. I went outside to get decent GPS signals, brought up the maps app on both, and had both phones plot directions to the local mall. iOS 6/Apple maps routed the course via roads that no longer exist, iOS 5.1.1 routed me via roads that exist. I didn't find that acceptable. Dick.
Dear Dick,
it must be a terrible thing to have the memory span of a goldfish, most people know where their local shops are without needing to use a GPS.
$300 for a screen replacement, Samsung have got to be kidding themselves.
That is interesting but it's not what I'd call scientific. The devices didn't fall exactly the same or hit the same exact surface. You really need to do exact tests in force and position (which usually means keeping the device stationary) to get an accurate feel for specific weaknesses.
You would also need to do a large number of the sort of tests in the video in order to get a baseline of the likelihood of various damage from real world settings and usage patterns. I'm sure both companies do them but I trust Apple more on this, especially because for $50 I can get a new iPhone like that with AppleCare+.
I thought the Galaxy S3 in the USA was just a dual core chip? Which phone did they use for the tests? Besides that, quadcore performance advantage is only going to show up in certain applications. Other than this -I hear ya!
"Now what do these tests prove that slaps fandroids silly? That a DUAL-core iPhone chip can run rings around a QUAD-core android-phone chip."

That was an absolutely terrible test, in my opinion. Can you really imagine anyone "dropping" their phone like that? A person wouldn't just sudden move their hand away from their pocket or ear and let the phone go. He dropped them face down almost every time, when I imagine most people drop it onto a corner. When he took the SIII out of his pocket, it looked like he practically flung it. Now what would have been hilarious would be if when he was showing it the last time at the end and the SIII got stuck in his pocket, it really did slip out of his hand.
He also seems surprised the iPhone screen is made of such durable stuff when they go out and tell people exactly what it's made of in the first place.
And how is it not a big deal when your phone goes flying in two different directions, even if the back case is just cheap plastic? This guy is weird.
Superior performance is effectively irrelevant since the performance scores are similar.
The critical point is that (apparently) a 1.0 GHz dual-core processor rivals 1.4 GHz quad-core processors (presumably) sharing the same 32nm high-k + metal gate LP process. Furthermore, Apple has much higher power efficiency at virtually the same performance considering 5.45 watt-hours at 3.8 volts for the iPhone 5 versus 7.98 watt-hours at 3.8 volts for the Samsung Galaxy S III yet the batter life performance on the Samsung Galaxy S III is apparently horrid.
Slightly off topic, but does anyone know what the deal is concerning data plans with AT&T for iPhone 5? I have been grandfathered in for unlimited 3G and I was never given the option to choose an LTE plan. I think I saw somewhere that I was grandfathered in to unlimited LTE, but I can't find that again and that doesn't sound right.

I think I read that to keep your unlimited plan you had to pay the non subsidized price for the iphone 5? I am in the same boat as you and would love to hear a definitive answer.
What fear? I just don't like paying top dollar for a phone that doesn't work as well as it should -- and I don't like getting lost.
You should really hop into an Apple store and try one out, just for a few minutes. You'll be picking up your jaw off the floor and your wallet out of your pocket, screaming like a girl: "Shut up and take my money!"
"Benchmarks don't matter to you Appletards, right?"
—The Anti-Apple Brigade, upon reading this
In all honestly to me they really don't. Random benchmarks and specs matter less to me than how it actually performs when I use it. ANd that's probably true for the average user since they rarely to never know what those benchmarks mean anyway
Based on your comments you've been lost for a long time.
But to your solopsistic mind, I do not exist, so how can I be lost? Or am I merely an elaborate deception? Either way, you are correct. And yet, you are incorrect at the same time. This is not a dolphin.
Well, that's too bad.. seems like the average iphone users can't tell the difference anyway..
Those weren't average users. Those skits are a set up. Rather like those Windows Phone videos with the idiot iphone users. Those weren't really random folks off the street either

Nice language - is it really necessary?

Its OK as a fallback, but it is not nearly as smooth as a native app.
Which raises the question, why did Samsung gimp the US version?

This is meaningless. They'll be faster phones on the market in 2-3 months, but there won't be better ones.
