Re: iPhone 5 Queues Around The World by chucky234(m): 7:28am On Sep 22, 2012
SimonAndal: Erm...this iPhone 5 sef, isn't it the one with maps that lead you astray and a screen too big for your apps? Lol. Apple wanted to compete with Android in terms of screen size but they forgot that android is "scalable"! iOS is not!
Now you have to re-download ALL your apps in order to get them to fit the screen. Or if you're unlucky, the apps haven't been updated and you're stuck with a game that plays on half the screen.
Were you living under Olumo rock? iPhone5 screen was only in length and still has the width of the 4s,ask questions before coming out here to display your daftness.

well, they think they could - immediately i downloaded the iOS 6, the youtube app and the old google map app disappeared. the search engine on safari is still google though but i think apple don't want to be highly dependent on google like they used to be.

Is it any good, what were your first thoughts? I'll pop into an Apple store later to play with one, but want a user's opinion.

After the disappointment with the iPhone 4's initial release, I decided not to be an early adopter for any new Apple product. Also, since I patronize cracked apps, I think I'll wait till 'they' jailbreak iPhone 5 before I get one.

coogar:

even if all the 5 million people who just bough the iphone 5 had idevices before, they would still upgrade their old devices to iOS 6 - which means google have lost users of their maps in leaps and bounds! in the next one month, google would feel the pinch!

Uhm...madam simpleton, Google can create a maps app for iOS 6. Or have you forgotten that?

and you think apple would allow that in their app store? you are a dolt!!! why would apple encourage a direct rival to hinder the growth of their own mapping system? like i reiterate, you don't know how apple works - the closest you have ever been to an apple phone is looking at it on the screen of your old, dusty, compaq desktop!

Its so obvious you know nothing about iPhone so there is really no point arguing with you, Apple probably have the best battery for smartphones i.e you dont need to replace your battery because it rarely goes bad, why do I need a micro SD card slot when I have atleast 16Gb, and I can decide to get 32GB or 64GB phone? These phone memories are enough for any phone user, the only time you would need more is when you want to have all the movies in the world on your phone, for the stuck in iTunes, no be Apple make iPhone? If you so want to load your phone why must it be from another source when Apple has Itunes? Afterall iTunes is free to download, and iTunes has the biggest market for music, movies, books and apps. But really you can still load your phone with some other software not necessarily iTunes, and for the no stereo speakers, check the pic am attaching

You are a bushman. Where online is it available to collect on first day of release? Read he news my friend. It was available online for ordering on Friday last week and TWO MILLION were sld in one day alone. You call it a. Stunt? Yes sure, so Apple paid hundreds of thousands of people p camp outside its stores.
The camera never lies my friend. Every news and media outlet in the world is reporting on it and showing camera shots from every major city, but that's still not enough for you. Go back go inning on your Blackberry device. Was it stunt when the queue was even longer than this for iPad 2, iPad 3 and iPhone 4S?

Long One: Is it any good, what were your first thoughts? I'll pop into an Apple store later to play with one, but want a user's opinion.

After the disappointment with the iPhone 4's initial release, I decided not to be an early adopter for any new Apple product. Also, since I patronize cracked apps, I think I'll wait till 'they' jailbreak iPhone 5 before I get one.

Well, it's my first iPhone, so I can't exactly compare it to another phone. So far, it's amazing. I was team Blackberry before. This phone blows my Blackberry Bold out of the water and into outer space. It is so sleek. The metal and plastic finish is luxurious. The pictures do not do it any justice. The elongation and the thinness of the phone are quite noticeable as well. Other people noticed it immediately. I haven't downloaded that many apps, nor have I used maps, which many people were complaining about. So, I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for those.

I'm in love with the charging port. Most people don't like it, which is bound to come with such a big change. It's true that people will have to buy a $30 adapter, and that sucks, but this change was much needed. Other phones have been using the smaller micro-USB for years, while Apple products kept toting the older, wider one. This change was much needed. I even prefer it to micro-USB as the cable it's reversible. There's no wrong way to put in the cable. Plus, when the cable is in, it clicks, so it won't fall out the way micro-USB cables often do.

What I was looking forward to most were the earpods. I'm a music junkie. I heard that Apple spent three years testing prototypes for the new headphones. It was time spent amazingly well. When I first used them, I couldn't believe they came with the phone. They are too good. The sound quality has improved ridiculously. Most importantly? Bass, bass, and bass. You can hear everything. They fit snuggly in the ear too, unlike the old earbuds. Apple headphones went from C+ to A. They sound expensive. They're selling for only $30, which I consider a steal. There are headphones more expensive than these and they don't sound as good.
