iPhone 5 fails again...

[Freakie_frog]

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....

No if I'm going to compaire phones I'm going to compaire phone..but what youre telling me is that there are different versions of the GS3 and that I should limit my sampling to the one that works in the US because well that's the better phone..So at this juncture I will kindly bow out with the facts you've provided..

Your phone is the better phone..awesome congrats!

OWAL Im in Germany with a German provider, so again cannot speak for U.S. carriers. But I have no idea what a teathering plan is, sounds crazy to me....... I can turn on hotspot, no questions asked, and connect via wifi, usb and blootooth and dont pay anything extra. Although German laws are better when it comes to cell contracts.

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 I can say is again on a second computer I am sending via cell data and internet sharing via usb now again just a matter of turning it on and plugging it in. It is dead easy. I just use phones I don't muck with them much and if internet tethering is hard I would hate to see easy I as I said have never done it on a phone ever and it is just a single slider I have a normal plan (pay as you go) in fact and tethering is not a problem noting to change just one single slider and pairing the phone if it is not already done and bluetooth and a setting on the system and presto. Not very difficult. It always seems this way non apple people telling apple people how hard it is to do ––– whatever and in the end it is like most apple things dead easy.

I can't say much about the 5 as speculation is not something I like doing.

Google has already submitted a Maps app for the App Store so that won't be an issue for anyone unhappy with iOS Maps. As for the phone being a failure, I suggest you take some time with one. After using an iPhone 5 today I can safely say it's the most impressive piece of mobile tech I've ever used. The processor outperforms Quad Core and dual core S4 Krait processors with double the Ram. That's in benchmarks and actual use. The 5's browser opens pages in their entirety in about 2 seconds and apps open instantly.
The screen is gorgeous, the speaker is the best available on a phone at this point.
As far as tethering, that's done by carriers. The only phones that can pull it off nowadays are Nexus devices and some other unlocked international devices that don't register as Smartphones with the carrier.
Apple vs Android will always be a battleground, but the iPhone 5 is a game changer. For those that say it's a stretched 4, again you need some hands on time. It's super thin, extremely light and feels like a million bucks in your hand.
I've used every OS extensively, and I always go back to iOS. My last phone was an unlocked Galaxy Nexus and I rather enjoyed it. The 5 blows the doors off of it in actual usage.
Nothing else touches the camera on the iPhone 5 either in actual usage. That's in picture quality and the speed it can take photos. Specs are what Android fans keep in their back pocket for debates such as this. Specs are great on paper, but laggy performance on new Android devices (including the GS3) are proof that they aren't a be all end all. The 5 has assured that I will not be jumping from device to device any longer.

I agree, specs on paper are one thing, practical application is another...

As an IT consultant I just picked up my new Iphone 5 today on renewal for my company phone. But I personally own a GS3 I love both phones they are great I like to be able to customize my interface with the Android OS etc and tether.

But honestly I don't spend as much time as I used to playing around on my phone, so I feel in the aspect of ease of use, speed of use for your basic phone user the Iphone has always been the better phone.

For the more techie folks that enjoy the more advanced features and are willing to put up with the quirks of the OS due to the open OS(droid) vs the closed OS(apple) I believe that the Droid phones have always been the better phone.

Each OS has its perks but anyone that just wants a phone to use for calls, text, email, and simple web browsing, and games. I would recommend the IPhone all day. And as an IT consultant I am not allowed to make fanboi decisions on what my client needs or wants.

The screen size doesn't matter. The iPad 3 and there laptops have even better pixel density.

This is so ridiculous. I like my iPhone and you like your droid. Don't go putting us down because we like something "not as superior" as your droid. Just get over it and move on with your life.

I didn't put anyone down, if your phone is everything you want, why are you getting all worked up? btw ipad 3 is only 264 ppi, nice but not as nice as the iphone 5 or gs3.

twisting words again..... Either phone out specs the iphone 5. Compare how ever you wish. I just figured the one most people on here would have would be the one you want to compare. I never said one version was better, one has twice the ram, other has nearly twice the processor. but do as you wish, remember this... all i did is answer.

So here's your shot..in what way is the GS3 a far better device..looking at only technical info?

Telling us that "iPhone 5 fails again" is putting something we like down.

which i never said...

How does location effect tethering? The settings are the same no matter the location or language for that matter. Just a single slider a paired phone and done. I have never used tethering and I did so both cabled and bluetooth. It took no time at all. No effort and no problems perhaps why you are saying this is difficult I can't imagine. If your area is not compliant with a cellular data it is hardly the phone's issue. I guess in the Lawrencetown is more advanced than Detroit.
