People never cease to amaze me. I mean some people truly feel that an inferior product is better than the iPhone and try their hardest to convince others on a Apple forum the same. Let's look at the S4 shall we:
1. Made of cheap material but sells at a premium price.
2. Loads of gimmicky features that mostly will never be used and fills out a marketing pamphlet nicely.
3. Same said features and custom UI means it overcomplicates the device and user experience. Also, the same useless features and custom UI means the consumer will not get many if any OS updates. Look at how the S3 is still not updated to have a newer OS or even similar features to the S4.
4. Spec sheet gimmick whore. S4 has a quad core processor which makes you think its faster but software is only optimize to use 2 cores. The other 2 cores are turned off to save battery. Also, the giant slap in the face is iOS is still smoother on older dual core technology.
Just goes to show, a fool and their money......
To get back on topic, I hope the camera on the iPhone 5S is better than the 5. I think the iPhone 5 has a really nice camera so anything better is icing on the cake!
then dont read rumor sites.
what? the leaked iphone4 was the biggest leak ever, it made mainstream media headlines.
----------
how is advertising features to consumers in any way a form of government propaganda?
I just scanned it, came up as l49whd363214001z and nothing else. I can't make sense of it, maybe someone else can.
why on earth would you expect them to design a brand new exterior shell or new screen from last year, when they did exactly that? talk about little return on investment.
nobody forced you to buy anything. and if you went to a gimmicky S4 from an iphone5....well, thats your judgement.
----------
do you know how megapixels work? more MPs on the same-sized sensor is a *bad* thing, not a good one. google it. the quality of the pixels is much more important than the number of them.
so, is the next iphone going to be bigger?
if we assume that the distance from the edge of that piece to the led is the same as in iphone 5, it shows that the next iphone is, at least, wider!
what do you think?
the part in question does not run edge to edge of the phone like you measure in the first pic. besides, it's a perspective shot. do the same with the top part…
now average the two and you get?
what entitlement. how about the 100 other things the latest phone will have (or even last year's had) over the 6500C? not even funny...use that for one day and youll be in tears.
oh lord...riiight. keep on using that 4, just stick your head in the sand and pretend there isnt a bigger screen, a better screen, 4x CPU and GPU, double the RAM, better cameras, HD vid, image stabilization, better antennas and wifi, etc etc...
----------
thats your decision. if having a phone w/ features from 3-years ago is all the value you need, nobody can say otherwise. but those features listed kick the crap out of the 4 when it comes to actual use.
the new dock connector is much, much improved. every day when i plug one of my devices in im reminded of it. doesnt feel like fragile '90s tech that i have to carefully examine to insure im attaching it correctly (esp on the curved back of the ipad).
great, now i hope that they improve their camera also, 13MP is the trend nowadays, wont be a bad idea to join the trend.
Second LED is good but not very exciting. I wonder if Apple will add optical stabilization like Samsung is rumored to be doing for upcoming Galaxy Note 3 (and Nokia has it too)
A lot of fools are buying the S4. As a share holder, apple better get back competing with the competition.
let's hope those purple smudges go away this time, i dont care how many LEDs the camera sports i just want a good result, a result which would satisfy the $1000+ price of the iphone.
First, how did they 'force' you? Gun to your head?
Second, if you are 'very happy about it', why are you shouting?
Third, if you are 'very happy about it', why do you still care enough to post about the new iPhone?
It would if they were both white led's but the second, new one, is red, which is for low light focusing.
To be honest i think we can see on release day "A better camera (f2.0, flash), a speed bump, and maybe a fingerprint sensor (honestly can't believe they'd go with a convex button, so perhaps flat?).
Then the 5C, a re-cased i5. Thats all. I do find it strange though, if the other team did the same those users would be pretty disappointed, and if the above is correct its quite a usual, but lame new phone really. No wow specs, just a slight increase.
As you were Apple.
----------
Don't you think thats what they don anyway? Id be very surprised if not. Remember the leak of the case design for the "iphone 5", nice tapered design? That had to be apple.
----------
Love it!
My thoughts exactly. Did a quick search of "which camera phones use dual flash" and gave up pretty quickly, but you got there!
I had an S3 from an iphone 4, battery was awful so came back to an 5. There is an undeniable thing with some higher Android phones where they have things that apple are only putting in now (quick setting draw), and if i can find a Moto X over here i think i'll re visit Android. Looking back at it, and getting the hype of another spec bumped iphone, i now remember the reason why i jumped to try the S3-its the disappointment of Apple trying to pull the wool over peoples eye that their new phone has something no-one has done before. Plus the high cost of something thats only a "meh" upgrade.

Don't you just love comments like this one, lol
Hey ppl! I HAVE AN GALAXY S4! Apple did force me to buy one. But I am still interested on the new iPhones (since I am reading and commenting on an article about it)
Very happy about it indeed.
I thought dual leds turned out to not really improve much? And come on apple dual leds, and fingerprint scanner thats old news here a xenon flash would really be nice also heres a phone from 2011
dual leds like alot of androids and a fingerprint scanner which actually worked surprisingly well but not many people actually used...
