Why Apple not use NFC? Passbook are the answer? Passbook are not the answer for all, and many NFC stuff will come

It's good to have. No wonder there're some action (burst) shooters in the AppStore, the best being SnappyCam (I'll too publish a full roundup of them).

Because - as has been pointed out by a million times - they're lagging behind the competition in this regard too.
Just saying Apple did a hell of a job, doubling the speed of their already fast phones in just one year. Its developers who need to make use of all this computing power and answer the age-old question: Can it run Crysis?
Make it happen! The seventh generation of gaming consoles lasted from 2005 until now. Seven plus years without any progress in hardware. A 64-bit iPad mini with a bluetooth controller interface has the potential to destroy the console market for more than casual games.
I skim read your post, could see it was a bit silly so didn't pay much attention to it, sorry. If you want to elicit a sensible reply and want me and others to read your posts, you should refrain from comments like " enjoy your toy and your friends twerking to justin beiber", it just means that your posts will be ignored, it's a waste of your time. Happy to chat, but the first sign of infantility then I stop reading and just move onto the next post
Why bother replying at all then? If you just skim it and reply? Like you have to prove your point, but not with any real effort? I'm being serious now, don't be such a, really, if you can't even read something don't respond to it. It just invalidates anything you say as you obviously just shoot from the hip on everything you say then. Have fun at the club!

Seriously go back and read what I wrote then it will make sense to you! You jump to, too many conclusions. I said in my post, that if a moment comes up and I want to take a picture I pull out my phone and take a pictures and wish I had my dslr. Again another whippersnapper who can't even read everything I won't bother replying to anything from you, because you can't be taken seriously either if you just want to call someone a troll when you haven't read it all. you should dial back trying to call me out when you're dead wrong in the first two quotes. Have a good day.

Exactly. Anyone who thinks that megapixels alone will improve picture quality is a sucker for camera makers' ad copy. As if traditional camera makers were all that relevant outside the pro and prosumer markets any more.
Reminds me of a quote applied to fake cowboys: "Big hat, no cattle."
Same thing applies to many cameras: "Big megapixel count, crappy images."
Four smartphones in a row to definitely have clear ideas...that's where marketshare data fail...
HD Voice was added in a previous update (if I recall correctly it was added for the 5). Its just up to the carrier to support it.
While what you're saying is likely true, I doubt if more the 1% of iPhone buyers care much about any of your points of concern, or would even be aware of them at all. Apple is not after a niche 1% of the market. They are after the other 99%. They will happily allow you to buy any other phone that more closely fits your needs.

Sure I know. It's just disappointing to see Apple cater for the technically, for the most part, illiterate masses while completely neglecting power users - that is, ones requiring as many features as possible.
This has happened on other product lines of them as well - for example, see the fate of the 17" MBP. (The one I'm just typing on and wouldn't sacrifice the screen estate & the dual spin drives for a smaller notebook.)
I think that's the problem ShiftClick, noone is reading your entire posts, because they are puerile and insulting. Kd5jos summed it up well with
Almost all, even pro-grade, video cameras still use rolling shutters. Very few cameras have global shutters.
Nevertheless, the adverse effects of rolling shutters aren't necessarily much more pronounced at 4K resolutions - it all depends on the readout speed of the sensor.
honestly the improved camera is only important to me for taking pictures of things on my job and facetime. I find it faster than scribbling model numbers/locations down. If I want to take real pictures or video I use a real camera.
And yes my Canon is in my messenger bag all the time.
Though I guess with the current popularity of photo and video social sites Apple felt they HAD to do all this.
It remains to be seen if this improves facetime or not.

I think it would be more pronounced considering that 4K is generally going to be displayed on a much larger screen. The "jello" effect is already noticeable even on a small (<30") screen. The higher end cameras have a high enough readout speed such that it's visually indistinguishable from a global shutter in most cases. But you're not going to get that in a cell phone, at least not any time soon. What advantage is 4K going to give then?

Some people just thrive on being contrarian...
For example, people are blasting the "gold" color, but just wait 6 months for Samsung and HTC to introduce their gold models.
Actually I have read articles indicating NFC is on its way out. While that Sony lens is not out yet - the adverts I have seen on it show it paired with an iPhone - so I don't think the lack of NFC is a limitation.
based on the technology (hardware & software), i don't think my comparison between 5s and a DSLR is such a huge reach. i don't mean they're on the same level because DSLRs have better hardware. but, do you think you'd be able to tell the difference between the 5s and DSLR still picture (framed to fit on screen) on a 20-in 1080p monitor?
also, one thing to note is that the 5s's slow-mo capabilities already surpass that of a DSLR.
Depends on the photographer, the subject matter, and the time of day the photo was shot.
I think phones like the 5S and Lumia 1020 will eventually supplant point 'n shoot cameras, which can come pretty close to matching DSLRs for daytime photos. But there will always be scenarios where you absolutely need a DSLR to get the best shot. Low light photos, long exposures, anytime where you need extra control on focal length for DoF effects. I could go on...
The camera "body" is only one part of the equation. Lenses are also uber important. And so is - you know - that crazy thing - skill.
The argument will be that the best camera is always the one you have. And for many - that will always be their phone. But that doesn't mean that the phone will always be the best camera. Just the best camera being used. There's a difference.
