iPhone 5 fails again...

So apparently the iPhone 5 is no longer going to use Google maps. Instead apple is going to use their "map app"... why do you ask? Why does apple do everything proprietary... money. The plan is that they will be able to show adds on the app relevant to your starting point and destination since they will have private access to your locations. So glad I'm an android user! Get unplugged from the apple matrix!!!

not only that, but do you guys realize it has a whole new charger? This means all of your little docks are basically useless now, and you'll need to get a new one to fit the 5.

People need to calm down about this kind of stuff imo. Life is change. The best thing we can do is just roll with the punches.

True that. You can't expect the same phone to have the same charger the whole life, well maybe the Nokia. I've used both phone and honestly think the iPhones are superior. Who cares if it's not google, the maps talk to you now, IMO that's a wonderful improvement.

I got an iPhone in June and I'm never going back. I had android before and that was not nearly as fast even on 4G.

The door is open for wireless charging and wireless sync progress marches on I am sure in a few months the new advances will be being copied by others. Apple has always been ahead just look at the newton. Still has the best handwriting recognition software available even after what 10 years?

Actually tech reviews are talking about how iPhone are behind the curve in comparison to advances Android is making.

The map talking to you in this thread alone is one example. Siri was copied from an already existing Android app. I'll see if I can dig up the article I read recently with others.

Most reviews of the new iPhone are talking about how much the new phone is a non event, that other than form factor, they were expecting a lot more.

I have to say android hasn't impressed me enough to switch me over.

So what are we comparing iOS 6 to android chocolate chip cookie or what ever the newest one out is or the iPhone 5 to all other smart phones hardware. Cause they are two different things.

This

keep in mind iPhones are a phone and software. Android is a mobile OS that runs on tons of different phones and hardware ranging in quality.

I have an iPhone 4 and I had an original droid, the droid was better IMO. the iPhone gets terrible service and is not anything special. the only real advantage and this is for those non techies, is the itunes sync. that aspect does make things easier for most users that arent techies.

To each their own. I personally love my Samsung galaxy nexus. It is fast, big screen, beautiful interface, great navigation capabilities, and great quality games.

Did I mention widgets? I think that is a major area that iPhone lacks. I hate that none of the icons give you any info of the apps inside. Sure the camera is nice and the screen is nice and its fast... it offers you next to nothing when it comes to personalization. Everyone who has the iPhone has it set up almost identically. That right there is enough to keep me away from the iPhone.

I have a MacBook pro though, and it is my favorite laptop I've ever had. Its the only computer that hasn't given me problems even after 2 years of continuous use and transporting it.

Both android and apple are doing great things. I just wish apple would step it up a bit and allow for its users to be more creative with its OS.

I used to be of the "anti iPhone pro android" mindset. I got the Evo 4G back when it was first introduced because I wanted "open source" and "customization". I still used my iPod touch for music but used my phone for everything else.

After a year I ditched the Evo and Android and went for iPhone and iOS. I found what I was constantly craving was less customization and more...structure. Which is what the iPhone offers to me. I think iOS is beautifully designed and is carried on an amazing phone. I've had a 4 for a year and am anticipating the delivery of my 5 tomorrow. Will I ever leave the iPhone world?

Probably not. But I'm not going to start threads basically calling out people who dot share my opinion.

Here's an idea: if you don't like apple and iPhone...don't get one. Don't talk about them. And don't bash those of us who enjoy them. :)

I respect that! But Android has come a long way since the Evo. Have you messed around with Jelly Bean at all? It is a beautiful interface and android really did a good job of cleaning it up and making everything flow nicely. Also a lot of nice new features and gestures. I really dig it. And widgets.

I don't hate apple. They are a great company, I just wish they would bring a little more to the table since they say they are so innovative. I haven't really seen anything innovative since they launched the iphone. I feel like since they have control over the OS and the device, they should be pushing the envelope a little more.

One thing I read about people not liking the 5 is not having swype. "it's the fastest way to text". I didn't think so. I tried to use it for a month on my last android powered phone and it took me 5 times as long to send a 5 word text using swype than my iPhone with its normal keyboard ever had.

The reasons some people like one are the reasons others hate them. For instance, I can't stand widgets. I think it makes the screen look disorganized and unprofessional. Lol. I also hate the screens on the androids. I have yet to hold/play with/see one I like. The capabilities are almost identical between android and iPhone, but I like the look and feel of the iPhone better. Granted, androids are hardier, but hey, that's what my otterbox is for.

It may seem silly to pay the exorbitant prices for the iPhone, but I have to say that it was probably the best investment I've made aside from my education at this point. Probably my biggest complaint is that Siri doesn't really do everything they make her out to. At least not most of the time. She's still useful, but only to a certain extent.

As to the iPhone 5, I don't want it. I like the size of my iPhone 4S. It's bulky enough as is in the case. Why on earth would I want something bigger?!? And that is another complaint I have about the Android and Windows phones...they're frickin huge! I'm a pocket phone carrier myself, and my 4S barely fits as is. I'll stick with my smaller phone as long as it functions. But with the new technology and the changes to the new iPhone, I'm wondering if it won't make the older ones obsolete more quickly than any previous upgrade. Thoughts?

I have been an iPhone user forever. I am not partially interested in the android. But my boyfriend has it and he said there's just something's he misses in the iPhone that the android doesn't have. Since the android phones runs on a software that is free, I think that there's always going to be something missing. He got the android Samsung galaxy 2 last year when it came out. And he told me he's going to preorder the iPhone 5 so he can have the iOS system back. Just like the iPhone system is not for everyone. Neither is the android system. So don't bash on people who like it, because we don't go out of our way to make threads about how poorly the android system can be.

I agree that when most people use widgets, they look awful. But I like to use them to make a composition of my phone. If I can I'll take some screen shots to show you guys. And I personally hate the feel of the iphone4. I doesn't feel good in my hand. I much preferred the 3g with the curved back.

A phone shouldn't need a case that makes it 2x its normal size just to keep it safe. I do like otterboxes though. They are great cases and I have owned quite a few.

The cost of the Iphone compared with other high end devices is about the same. I never complain about the price of apple products. You get what you pay for.

Siri is just a glorified copy of Androids voice search, which is still just as good and accurate as Siri. It is a nifty feature though.

I LOVE my bigger phone. I don't often have pockets, so I wear mine around my neck in a handmade crochet case. Its the bomb. I use my phone to browse the internet, forums, text, and play games. I RARELY talk on the phone with it, so the size doesn't really matter to me. I like having a giant keyboard.

If you like the smaller phone, thats cool. I have a feeling all smart phones are going to start getting a little bigger, thus why apple increased the size for the 5.

This technology is moving VERY fast. It will be out of date in a matter of months.

My biggest argument against the iPhone is no Firefox. That whole open source thing, Apple hates that. So, if I had an ultimately free option to switch to like an HTC android then I would. But, I do liked iPhone, and it's no different than an android when you harness the full capabilities. Of course, to some that's illegal (jailbreaking, I do mean) but I've had my jail broken on the 5.1.1 and have untethered so it's no different really. I wont be upgrading to iOS 6 till a hopeful untethered though. I like google maps, maybe I should go android lol.

I think the biggest fail was the decision not to include NFC on the new iPhone.

I love my iPhone it's a 4 and I still don't want a new one, had this one since these ones were released. I would how ever like a bigger phone for Internet and my guitar sheet music apps 😃but that's because the only people I call on the phone is my job since land lines can't receive my texts😡any way I rambled away and add my 2cents

I have not seen any other wireless air charging system on an android phone yet anyway I understand apple is less than a year away and the induction system is at distance not contact. It doesn't seem behind the curve to me. Apple has driven industrial design for 12 years and been an innovator I can't see that changing quickly. The phones are not shipping yet and apple is way protective of pre release stuff so most 'reviews' are a spec comparison. Complaining about how low tech a product is before anyone has it is a bit presumptuous isn't it?

The did make a little adapter so your large prong stuff can still be used on the new iPhone. I don't know if it comes with it or if it needs to be purchased (prolly the latter) but they did make it. I have owned an iPhone 3g and a 4 then I bought an android (using now). I can't wait to get back to my iPhone with the 5. Different strokes for different folks I guess :)

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk 2

Zombie, the adaptor is separate, but it is looking very likely that either the 5 has or will have a induction system in it that calls into question if the cable is needed at all. If it charges wirelessly, non contact, and airplay allows all the devises to sync and play what is the need of a cable? It is very likely this is the direction apple is taking as they have most of the patents for the wireless non contact system sewn up.

Just picture a little box that plugs into the lighter and charges all the iphones in the car? This allows wireless sync to the stereo in the car with no drain. It certainly looks this is coming. everyone freaking about the cable I would guess the next gen or two won't even have a connector at all.

I'd be happy with a screen protector that isn't a pain in ass to apply, I can never get mine on with out some kind of bubbling in fact as I type I notice I need a new one.

6 months until I can get my galaxy S III....=[ Want so hard. I've had android and iPhone, and I'm much more impressed with android.

It's funny that all of the anti android comments are from either longtime iphone users who have not yet stepped outside the box, or people who used a very old android who have no idea how advanced the software is now. Why did it take so long for the iphone 5 to come out??? Because like samsung says in it's commercials... the next big thing is already here. Every time apple is ready to release, a better android comes out and they realize they're about to release behind the tech curve yet again.

At the end of the day there is no argument between the Galaxy S3 and the iphone5. The GS3 wins hands down. The argument with every iphone user isn't which phone is better, but rather how much people have dumped into apple products. My brother in law has every apple product and has had and an iphone since the first one came out. He would constantly argue with me saying that his phone was better. Then his work gave him an S3 and now he never uses his iphone, only his work phone. The problem with apple is that many people have invested so much money into the apps ipods ipads and iphones that they don't want to feel like it was all a wasted thus they stay with their said apple products.

I want an upgrade for the opposite reason of WarriorPrincess. My hands are big so the iphone 4 feels just a tad bit small in them. Im also a guy so i have normal sized pockets so that wouldnt be a problem haha.

I played with my friends Galaxy and its a pretty cool phone. I think when im due for an upgrade in a month ill have to really play around with the iphone 5 and galaxy s3 before making a desicion. I really am leaning towards the galaxy i think just so i can compare it and develop my own opinion! :)

Ok just looked at the specs.. of both phones and both seemed to be pretty even, one would be a little ahead but lose out in other area's. So here's your shot..in what way is the GS3 a far better device..looking at only technical info?

As far as iPhones needing huge bulky cases to stay protected. I have a 4s and have a speck hard shell for it, and aside from it not being waterproof I've dropped it numerous times and varies heights and she still rocks it out like nothing happened.

I do think the gs3 looks cool I had the galaxy s before the iPhone. But the iPhone has so much more that I like than my galaxy ever did. I'm not up for an upgrade for another 2 years so I'll wait and see what emerges.

There's no argument, for you. You prefer the galaxy and android. Just because you prefer a phone doesn't make it superior. Not sure why there is such a back and forth between both sides about who's phones better. Use what you like and let other people use what they like, ya know? Live and let live situation ...

that pretty easy. iphone 5 is a dual core 1.0 with 1 gig of ram, gs3 is a dual core 1.5 with 2 gig of ram. the galaxy nexus out specs the new iphone.

I've played with every iOS version up to 5 on friends phones, I don't understand why people prefer it over android. I hear a lot of "can't" from my friends with iphones.

Biggest thing for me is being able to tether to my laptop. I have an unlimited data plan and im going to use it to it's full potential lol. also I want to be able to play my n64 games and playstation games on my phone because I need to entertain myself sometimes. FFVII does that quite well.

Ok so more memory and a faster processor.. the other stuff isn't hardware related so that dosen't count. Althought the specs show it having a 1.4 GHZ processor and only 1 gb or ram.. So it's processer is .4 ghz faster. Whatelse hardware wise makes it a better phone??

Lets look at the specs I found

networks supported
GS3; 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 - GSM A1428
CDMA2000 1xEV-DO - CDMA A1429

Dimensions;
gs3; Dimensions 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6 mm

iphone5;Type LED-backlit IPS TFT, capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors
Size 640 x 1136 pixels, 4.0 inches (~326 ppi pixel density)


More when I get home.

There's no way you can compare the two. What the iPhone does it does perfectly whereas android phones have a "good enough" attitude. Yes, apple is behind the power curve as far as innovation is concerned but when I talk to some of my friends who have android devices they're always complaining about how they keep having problems with their phones or can't seem to figure out how to navigate through the dozens of useless settings and features. The iPhone just simplifies what the android complicates. Don't hammer me now android lovers. Everyone has they're own opinion. I have had both types of phones and am now extremely happy with my iPhone. It serves my purpose well. I'm sure there are people who need more and they get it from android type phones.

Now let's sing kumbaya...1,2,3

US verison is a 1.5 dual core with 2 gb of ram.

your turn to counter, what does the iphone have?

from what ive seen the only tethering iOS allowed was the pay monthy to use hotspot. hense them removing any other tethering app from the app store.

now wheres the usb tethering? the faster and less power consuming method?

All of them are international...So yea I'm comparing an international phone to international phone. So what your saying is that to get a phone that will travel like my iPhone I have to take less phone.

That's a carrier thing not a hardware thing. iPhone can be tethered you just have to pay your carrier to do so.

Most people who say iPhones suck are in the same boat as not ever having one. I had a droid before my iPhone and my preference is the iPhone, IMO it's an all around better phone. I am excited about a larger screen, but glad its not huge. I hate the feeling of having a brick in my pocket. I have no problems with the otterbox I have on my iPhone right now, it doesn't haff much bulk to it, but protects great against drops. This arguement is like Baptist and Mormons arguing who is right, neither side is going to get anywhere with the other.

Going to twist words now? International version is the version released everywhere else but the US carriers. Its not less phone it's just different, you seem to be missing it is a quad core processor, hence me underlining it for you. US carriers (like mine) are specs as described above, if you're going to try to debate the phones, you might as well us the one most of us on the forum have, since most of us are in the US. It in no way means I can't use my phone internationally, it just what is released here in the US. still waiting on what the iphone has on the gs3....

its an OS thing, I can usb tether on my phone without any issues, for free, just download an app. Apple removes every single tethering app on the market forcing you to use their pay to use hotspot, which is wifi tethering. It's slower than usb tethering, if im going to pay for data, im going to get all that i can out of it.

apperently 1.0 dual core = 1.4 quad core now?
or if its my phone 1.5 = 1.0? and 1 gig of ram = 2 gig of ram?

screen size can be preference, i won't argue that, personally I like the bigger screen.
what does the iphone have to make it even?
