I’m an iPhone user and this is a perfect example of why I’m sick of the iPhone. Isheep ppl that buy an apple device just cause it has the apple logo on it. They have no sense of technology and are completely brain dead thinking an older model is the new model when half of them were holding the same phone in their other hand. It doesn’t matter what apple rolls out blind consumers will still buy it just because. They should of given them the original iPhone and see if they could tell the difference. I’m switching to android and buying myself the galaxy note 2 when it comes out. It’s specs and overall performance as well as capabilities absolutely blow the iPhone 5 out of the water. The iPhone is no longer the cool new device to get. It’s the device that simple minded ppl like these ppl in the video get just cause of the logo on the back. They have no sense of technologically advanced systems. The iPhone 5 was the biggest disappointment for apple to this day and the ios6 that I just installed on my iPhone is awful. The maps are horrific I’d rather have google maps without the turn by turn then use this setup. Just plain utter disappointment. This is a big fail for apple in my book.

I get what you are saying, but these people have their own 4S in one hand and the “iPhone 5″ (4S) in the other and they are convinced it’s lighter, brighter, faster, thinner, and has a larger screen. Plus there’s the fact that most of them did mention specific points that Apple made about the iPhone 5.

I’m burning it, then getting a voodo witch doctor to curse it all. It’s the safest and best way to ensure no Apple people get the pleasure to use any of it. I’m sorry

iPhone customers are generally repeat customers who have learned that the value and delight is not so much in how it looks on the outside, but how it functions.

Better off doing light reading and getting a build your on kit to your preference and its cheaper. an I7 core and motherboard with 8-16 ram 1-2 terabytes storage for $4-600 way better and add what you want for video cards or bluray or cdw or none

I am willing to bet most dont even remember how to use Siri. I’ve dealt with the general public and you wouldnt believe the things that come up especially when it comes to technology. If you dont think it happens on both sides and that honestly iPhones attract a dumber user then you are very very wrong. A good number of Android users think they have Droids not Androids and that is once again because of marketing. We are a small number, but I’d be willing to bet everyone on this site whether at work, home with the family, or even out and about has heard someone call an Evo, Tbolt, etc a Droid. It happens and that doesnt mean would generalize all Android users, am I right? I wasn’t here to start some BS ‘I’m right and your wrong I simply made a comment about how ignorant it makes all of us Android users look when we constantly are calling iPhone users sheep. Why do you think Samsung has quickly rose the ranks in phones and has dare I say Apple cult like following. It isn’t because the world has millions upon millions of geeks like us that care about every little spec and feature. It is because they have also caught the attention of the general public. Hell most people call the Nexus 7 a Galaxy because of the Galaxy Nexus. Does that make them part of some stupid caveman like following? No it doesn’t.

Oh well that is how it goes. I was just trying to make a point, but most around here are so full of Android to see that the competition is the competition for a reason. You find the same on the other side as well. I just love technology and wont limit myself to just one brand as great innovation is everywhere and I want to experience it as much as I can. Lately Droid life has turned into a site searching out anything negative about iOS and it’s users rather than writing great articles about the many great Android phones and the many options we have out there. It really sours the site and feeds the fanboism that really doesnt need to be. So what the iPhone 5 has 2 years later caught up to Android and it no longer is lacking 4G or a smaller screen (most would argue that 4″ is still small though). I get the feeling that evert iOS announcement that Android fans scramble to put it down. It doesnt need to be Android is great in its own and I miss the days of the Nexus One and original Droid where we didnt see this garbage iOS vs Android and vice versa. There is a reason that both have done so well and honestly I hope WP8 finally catches on as well. Neither Android nor iOS would be where they are without the competition from the other one. The ignorant iSheep comments really make us look shallow. When Android first caught on it was a community not a competition now not only are Android fans out for iPhone fans, but Android fans are always quick to down other Android fans because they think that their subjective choice in a phone has to be the best. It gets ugly. Droid Life has been my favorite site for a long time, but lately it has been nothing, but trash and Im not talking about the great writing of Kellex, Tim, Eric, and Ron as they usually have some great articles. I just dont see why all the negativity even from them when most use iPads, Macbooks, and iMacs. We shoudl all be excited about the Nexii announcements that are supposed to be coming, or that rumored 720p HTC Verizon One series phone (lets hope its a One series and not a Droid).

He probably still has the 3G or 3Gs lol. Seems like he has never seen a front camera.

That was great….I must say though, most people slap a case on their phone right away so of course the nake phone feels lighter and thinner. When I removed my case after almost 2 years from my old Eris, it was like a brand new phone.

Now I’m naked 100% of the time
