actually, screw that. I'm not sorry.
Really sad how Apple fanboys actually take this stuff so personally.
I'm a Macbook/iPhone user and I couldn't give a toss if someone doesn't like my iPhone.
I don't feel the need to defend a corporation like Apple. They don't give a f*ck about me anyway, why should I?
If I like their product, I'll pay for it. If not I'm going elsewhere.
Some people take brand loyalty a bit too seriously.0 -

Why in the name of God is video out and ipod out not supported with the new Lightning to 30-pin Adapter? Surely they whole point of the adapter is so you can use video and ipod out?
What does the adapter actually do, does it even support charging?0 -

Long time Android user here (went from first gen iPhone to HTC G1 - Motorola Milestone - Galaxy S - Desire HD - Nexus S - HTC Sensation).
My opinion is it looks great but I was expecting a more drastic change to be honest (like the 3GS to 4 was) but it's difficult to improve on the still excellent good looks of the 4/4S. The subtle differences are nice (such as the aluminium back, new dock size and better place headphone jack) but it's still not right to force users to pay extra for a €30 dock adapter (that's quiet frankly... huge!) It's a shame that the ingenious no-wrong-way "Lightning" adapter isn't the standard over micro-USB because I always ALWAYS put either my USB or micro USB head in wrong and thus mark / scuff / scrape the phone.
Nice upgrades but people like specifics nowadays (what's the RAM, CPU speed etc). The screen looks excellent but the 5 should have been there when the 4 was announced, 3.5" is simply too small (but that's Job's legacy right there). Look forward to seeing it to be honest because I admire the build quality (no Android phone does compare, the closest in my experience would be the HTC One series) but that's not enough to convince me.
I have genuinely considered switching if it was good enough but it's just not enough. I love Gmail, Chrome and Drive way too much to switch - always on was pre-built with Android along with notifications but I'm not a fan of the Apple notification methods still - albeit near the same with the swipe down method but it's just very... rigid and not flexible.
Customization is huge for me and people like to make there phone there own - I understand Apples closed system but it can work when it's open. I'm sure people will mention fragmentation but that's not Google's fault, they are on the ball with upgrades and that's why they have the Nexus line.
I would use an iPhone again but something in the back of my mind would always crave the options of Android. I will admit Jelly Bean is now matched for quality and speed of iOS but more Nexus devices are coming and the're the "iPhone" to Android OS.
My next phone? Not the S3 - Galaxy Nexus (only €409 on Phonesonline.ie compared to the S3 at €579 and will have better performance with JB that the S3).
€409 - Galaxy Nexus - http://www.phonesonline.ie/Product.asp?ProductID=1089
€579 - Galaxy S3 - http://www.phonesonline.ie/Product.asp?ProductID=724
Comparison of the two - http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4238&idPhone2=4219
Final Thought - Apple could have made a 128GB, 4.7", Quad-Core, 20MP, wireless charging, NFC cabable, carbon fibre superphone if they wanted but I honestly think it all comes down to the battery - we have got so far with technology but not with batteries - sucks really?!
PS: I hate TouchWiz and Sense, give me Vanilla Android any day.
PPS: iPhone 5 with Android OS on it would be so nice, same as a Lumia

The Onion have listed some of the new features:
- Says things when you touch it, just like a real person
- Adjustable hand-strap
- Siri tunelessly hums when left alone for too long
- Plaid
- Makes a sighing noise whenever it passes older iPhones
- Frictionless no-grip casing eases transition from hand to floor
- Can hammer nails
- Is pathetic piece of **** compared to the iPhone 6
I had no intention of getting one of these (recently go a new phone, so would be waiting for the 5s at least before I got a new one), but I'm still slightly disappointed by this. Granted there always comes a point when huge leaps in innovation give way to smaller incremental steps, but I had expected something that would stand out a bit more.
As a smartphone it seems great and ticks all the right boxes. It just doesn't have me getting as excited as I used to when new phones came out. Maybe I'm just getting old.

Not a lot. The keynote had a waffle about most thing being wireless.
So you will need to get an Apple tv for video out it seems.0 -

Can like this post more than once. A well thought out, and fair perspective from an Android user.0 -
