A bunch of you girly whiners are truly pathetic. Until you use some Chinese kirf smartphones then you will realize how truly amazing the iPhone design really is. 99.9% of the smartphones out now are pure garbage in design and material construction. Sure they have massive screen sizes but if I wanted an ipad screen I buy an ipad.
You whiners take it for granted. You don't how difficult it is to design a phone like this and one that actually works without issues. If you don't like the design then buy something else. But to say its not innovative you're full of it. Design something else better than this and you can critic all you want. Until then you're just like a typical movie critic.
No sir, it is you who is pathetic, and it would appear you don't understand. A phone like this is a major investment. In some countries like here, to buy it outright costs $1000. On a plan, it will still cost you about that spread over time.
We understand the build quality - otherwise we'd be buying other brands already. What we are disappointed in is the prospect that our 'beloved' apple is slipping behind the game.
I have been champing at the bit to upgrade my phone since 4S was announced. However, I could not see any features to blow me away and convince me to upgrade. The same appears to be the case with iP5 if these leaks are to be true.
What makes matters worse is that all the other companies now realise a bigger screen has benefits. Maybe it doesn't need to be as big as the S3, but it should be bigger because a lot of what we now do is on the net. Look up restaurants, pay bills, look up info on the go and so on. For a lot of us, a bigger screen makes sense.
What is bewildering, is that apple think that a 16:9 stretched format is going to cut it for us. It offers absolutely NO benefit. An extra row of apps, watch a tiny movie in landscape. Hell, even typing in landscape the k/b will still take up half the screen.
It's ridiculous. It's a slap in the face. It insults the intelligence. And this is true for all who have been using iphone for a long time. New comers into the fray of course will love it no matter what the format.
*IF* apple thinks the screen should stay small, then keep it small. Don't b*llsh*t us with a taller phone with which is what is ultimately the same thing they've churned out already for years.
You say that 99% of phones out there are garbage in design. I can tell you, the S3 has really lifted it's game. If the S3 ran iOS, it would be a ball-breaker - and I would have bought it already.
You say if you want a larger screen, you'll use an ipad. Well goody for you. You want to haul 2 devices around with you everywhere, that's your prerogative.
If apple had brought out a 4" proportional screen that made it a bit wider, most of us wouldn't be railing about it almost on a daily basis.
Just like desktop computer screens need real-estate, so do phone screens. That's the way things are evolving.
As someone else pointed out, maybe it's time apple put out 2 screen size models. End of argument.
