I love how fast the phone is. I only had the iphone 4 so this is a massive upgrade for me. Every thing just feels so much smoother, I was playing about with my iPhone 4 before I sold it and it just doesn't feel the same.

However I can't wait for the jailbreak, I need my bitesms, lockinfo and 5 icon dock back!
 
IMHO, aside from the speed, I don't see much difference from the 4. I'm not a heavy user. Just Music, iBooks, Kindle, FB, Twitter, Pandora, and Mail.

My favorite parts are the sleek appearance and lightning. OMG, the new lightning cable is FAST.
 
I think it would be a major fail if the iPhone 5 wasn't better than a device released over a year ago. Shouldn't it be assumed that the iPhone 5 is the best iPhone to date? :confused:
I agree.

It's kind of dumb when people say "the newest iPhone is the best one yet!"

I sincerely hope the newest iPhone surpasses the previous generations.
 
Did you try the different fixes?

Only thing I tried was restoring it as new.......I just think its cos I play games for around 90 mins a day, if I never touched a game I'd prob get 8 I suppose of I'm lucky....FaceTime doesn't help the battery either lol
 
I just love it!! I still have my 4s and the difference is night and day!! I wouldn't wanna go back to anything inferior!
 
After reading some of these posts I cannot help but wonder how much of an impact does the placebo effect have in the phone market lol

im sure he meant in comparison to each release
 
Wish i got 8 hours usage....6 if i'm lucky :(

This. The battery life is atrocious. Apple needs to get its supply chain and quality control measures together first before releasing all these new products. Can only imagine how delayed and problematic things are going to be in the next few weeks.
 
The iPhone 4 was my first. The jump from iPhone 4 to 5 is nowhere near what the jump from bb storm to iPhone 4 was. Still pretty thrilled with it. I can't get over watching live sports on the go.
 
I love the 5 also! it's so fast, Siri is kinda cool, it's lightweight, snappy and overall just wonderful to use. definetly a much needed upgrade from my 4.
 
But it is, except for the aesthetics.

Name 5 notable features that the 5 has that the 4S doesn't.


That being said, I have a 5 and I love it. I never had a 4 or 4S though.
How is the iPhone 5 the same as the iPhone 4S? Name whats the same between them.

Everything is new and or improved.
Is this simply because it has a glass face and metal band? Does that make it the same?
 
  1. Thinner
  2. Lighter
  3. Better Camera
  4. Looks Better

  1. I said notable. Those are all very superficial differences.
    iPhone 5 will get you laid.
    If only that was true...:rolleyes:

    iOS is the same.
    It doesn't do anything that the 4S can't do.

That's silly. iOS is available on iPhone 3GS and up. Of course it's the same. You asked about the phone.

The phone is completely different. Changing colors would be superficial. Changing all the internals and external and everything in between is not superficial. I dunna think that word means what you think it means.
 
+1

the 4" screen is a world of difference...I don't want Apple to go any bigger. Simply, perfect! :apple::D

I used to think the same until I purchased a galaxy s3 with a 4.8 inch screen. Now, I could never go back.
 
I already owned s3 sold it for iPhone 5. Next year ill get something else who knows what
