Apple Announces iPhone 5

[Deleted member 194275]

Seems that battery life is better now. Hope it last 2 days on my normal usage without recharging

Edit: New headphones: EarPods

fanboy count: 4 (until now)

If I may ask. How the fuck is that spose to fit in your ear? I just can't piece it out how it would fit.

This product is related?

Just kidding, what I think is that the old one is just fine for me and the classic headphones are even better, but we cant blame apple for trying to do something new, we can blame for not trying to innovate on iPhone 5.

So its official .

I was just wondering whats the latest samsung phone? Or at least the latest Android Smart phone thats out in the market.

I can upgrade my contract on the 25th of this month.. I might not go with the iPhone 5 if I get better specs and jellybean

The Galaxy Note 2 will be the best Android phone. But right now I'd say go for the Galaxy S3 is better than the iPhone5.

What's the deal with LTE I keep hearing? Why could Samsung sue Apple because of it?

One can view from a perspective that Samsung wants revenge and are childish like fuck to actually wanting to ruin their own reputation.

Or another can view that Apple copied Samsung and they aren't any better.

And about the "pointless update" and related stuff... For most iPhone owners (if you based it on a two year contract, those intending to upgrade SHOULD be using the iPhone 4 right now), the iPhone 5 is definitely a massive upgrade with LTE, up to 4X the speed of the A4 and some other stuff.

It's really pointless to compare it with other phones in the market because (to be honest), what else can you "innovate"? For example, I can argue that besides the quad core CPU and wireless improvements of the GS3, other "innovations" are stupid software gimmicks like Smart Stay and the call feature. Same goes for iPhone 4 -> 4S with Siri.

If I want to judge if it IS worthy of an upgrade, I'll base it on preference and the phones I have now. Since the specs are quite similar I can choose which one I want: on an easier to use but restricted OS, or an openly customizable OS which can get a bit risky.

So is LTE actually developed by Samsung?

When is it coming out?

A single app will probably not use this amount of RAM for the next 5 years,
but a dozen of apps could use that, it's called multi-task, and I'm sure you already knows what it is.

LOL.

Maybe you should look deeper into iOS, before stating mere knowledge as facts.

iOS multitasks in a different way. Most processes are simply suspended, saved to flash and then restarted (not resumed) only when you select it again from the multitask bar.

The process is effectively not using any RAM as it's NOT running anymore.

But hey, Apple sucks!

When I had an iPhone, it happened to sometimes, when using too much apps at same time
(to say the truth it happened most when listening to music while playing plants vs zombies),
the iPhone froze for a few seconds, and then restarted itself.

Most certainly MobileSubstrate crashing, which is a jailbreak issue. Nothing to do with iOS itself.

The point of having more RAM is that you can keep more apps multitasking which would lead to a faster performance on the phone.

Not on iOS. First part of the post.

Here you go guys: http://www.macworld.com/article/1164616/how_ios_multitasking_really_works.html

iOS simply doesn't need as much RAM as Android does. IT'S A FACT.

Mid October.. I could wait but if it turns out to be like S3 in terms of build quality..
I really like the performance and power of the S3. But its build simply feels cheap to me :/ Frail plastic.

I'm just saying it from an extreme android fanboy's point of view.

For what I've read it feel the same as the S3. But Motorola just announced their new RAZR HD Android line and HTC has an announcement later this month. Also if you want a phone now and don't like the S3 I'd say buy the HTC One X(International).

Another thing is that I dont like to keep an extra MP3 player.
I usually use my phone as my general media player aswell.

Is the sound quality good with the S3?

The iPhone 5 is made of aluminum and glass on the outside.

I havent gotten that in hand. Is the build quality somewhat decent? Or just plastic? lol

I know. All the the iPhone 4 onwards feels pretty damn good in hand.
I was talking about the S3.

Sound quality is awesome on the S3 but better on the HTC One X cuz it has Beats Audio built in.

I will actually go out tomorrow and compare those two than .

Sony was bluffing about their "XAUDIO" lol.. its the shittest audio quality I have ever heard in my life. No beat, not loud, heck it feels like the crap from 90s :/
I was never a fan of the Sony Ericson sound quality either.. but one would think they would have improved over the years
Fucking wasted £200 on the shittest phone that I have ever had :/

Other than the plasticky build and certain OS gimmicks, the S3 is a superphone.

No doubt about that.

However I might not buy anymore Samsung phones ever since their customer service drew the line.
I sure hope it isn't as bad at your region.

Isn't EE providing LTE now?

 

[Deleted member 473940]

Heard about it. Not sure how the price and offers are gonna be like.
Like I said, we have a very shitty 3G coverage.. probably not gonna be all that great.
