LTE support with 2.4GHz and 5GHz 802.11n Wi-Fi combined onto a single
"ultra fast" chip
Apple mistakenly offered the legendary Lighting dock for free on its
UK site and pulled back the deal when it erupted
iPhone 5 won't be able to do calls and data at same time on Sprint and
Verizon (but AT&T is an exception). Those carriers dont do voice over
its 4G LTE. When a call is placed on a 4G LTE of those two, it recedes
to CDMA which cannot handle both data and voice like AT&T does with
its 3G (keep reading)
Game console quality
graphics
Game Center, a new Time Shifted
Multiplayer mod which enables players to race with
a friend asynchronously
No street view
Connector is 80 percent
smaller than that of the iPhone
4S
Adapter doesn't work with
speaker docks? Wrong!, here is the Apples official statement
"The Lightning to 30 Pin
adapter supports analog
audio output, USB audio, as
well as syncing and
charging. Lightning to VGA
and Lightning to HDMI cables will be available in
the coming months"
Video and iPod Out not
supported by the adapteri (just iPod
Out, not Audio Out)
700,000 apps
The micro USB is a 5-pin connector, the lightening is 8-pin
The old Map chap used Google's massive keyword search. But apple's new
venture uses Yelp's database. They say it isnt that good
No public transit directions in map
Maps has 100 million business listings (80 million business listings
for Google Maps)
Business listings in Maps are out-sourced from Acxiom Factual and Localeze
Business reviews are sourced from Yelp
New Dock, faster data connection to computers
The ease of
connectivity between different iOS
products, ceases
Cannot use your 4S's Micro-SIM card
With iPhone 4, Apple's first retina display, they
laminated the display to the
glass surface. In i5
Touch sensors are
integrated into the screen (
earlier the display and touch sensors were
two separate things)
Thus a thinner screen.
New displays will be cheaper to replace than previous ones
Apple acquired C3
3D, Placebase and Poly9
light, only 3.95 ounces. Even an ounce lighter than the iPhone 4S (4.9 ounces)
The camera launches itself fast
One-finger typing
The earphone connector is on the
bottom
You can flyover (the world) with a two-finger swipe down
No burst mode shooting or a Best Shot mode
The Rumor was that i5 will have a unibody construction similar to the
Macbook Pros and Macbook Airs. Now you got your answer
Be an Android faniac. Androids are released almost weekly. Be an
iphone maniac, you can sigh and wait for 4 to 5 months (in betwixt)
till the new eyephone is released
i5 breed was supposed to be the post-PC era?
Where Android sucks? Lot of lags, frequent reboot and most times
requires resets
Battery is not user replasable
If you want more memory, just buy the most expensive version. Buying a
low memory version and hooking up a memory card must be the most
wisest and logical way I guess. Prove me wrong
Multitasking?
Android lets you set "defaults" for apps you want to use instead of
stocks like browser
System-wide Facebook integration
If you have an iphone 4S, you can get (through update) every feature
iphone going to have such as Dedicated signatures for all email
accounts, face time over cellular, flyover, offline reading list,
panorama, passbook, turn by turn navigation, shared photo stream and
VIP inbox etc. So whats the rush?
10-face detection on the rear and single face detection on the front camera
Thinnest smartphone in the world (Who said that? Apple said that mom)
Just hoist the phone aloft and pan across the panoramic view. You get
a seamless panoramic image, suitable for framing
"More development went into the plug than did the phone," one user
comment caught my eyes
4G LTE networks does not do voice and it only does data. Then how
Verizon's Samsung Galaxy S III, a 4G LTE phone, managed to do calls
and data simultaneously ? Samsung has an extra antenna. It fetched
data from the 4G LTE network at the same time when it used another
antenna to do voice
You cant swap SIM cards between i4S and i5. The iPhone 5 uses a
nano-SIM, and the older iPhones utilize a micro- SIM (large)
(Heart) Breaking News! Pricing for unlocked iPhone 5s touch sky, $700/$800/$ 900
Another brilliant comment I found online, "Apple patents the
connector, and then licenses the right to make chargers, docks, etc.
This way, Apple even gets a cut of the sale of third party
accessories. They're cornering a whole extra revenue stream at the
expense of the waste and cost to consumers from needing duplicate
cables and chargers and so on"
Siri still doesnt cater configuration requests, such as "Turn
Bluetooth on," or "Turn ringer off" etc, but does book a restaurant
through OpenTable etc. She doesnt tweak core settings yet
Pictures taken simultaneously while video recording aren't 8
megarpixel shots. They are screen captures of the video itself (aspect
ratio is different and the image quality is weak)
Flyovers only available for large cities, and again not for all of them
Apps do load quicker
It gets warm, when using 4G LTE for flyover in the Maps, calls and Facetime etc
Considering JavaScript performance and 3D graffics rendering, its
twice as fast as the iPhone 4S
Its "Facetime", and its posh presentator AT&T; your required to have a
specific plan to enable FaceTime over cellular
A smartphone is not always about its specs. Its the power of its eco
system and the finest components that will never fail you. Iphone's
platform was the first of its kind which nearly hammered platforms
with (Cr)apps and still stand out of the rest as the best
The 9-pin can be plugged in either way. Its reversible
Every part of the software is rewritten or retouched
The A6 processor is custom-designed to be smaller and more power efficient

will find the right brightness balance effectively than an i4
A good update to the iphone 4 and marginal for the 4S
Web and iCloud-connected apps loads up faster
Restaurants and local stores; Yelp ratings and reviews are briskly
shown (not available on Google's Maps app for iphone)
Google's built-in Maps search is more posh than the new Yelp one
The third microphone takes care of audio improvement, enhancing voice
quality, speakerphone quality and adding improved noise cancellation
Wideband Audio; none of the U.S. carriers of the iPhone 5 will support it
Slow motions are smooth than before
A layer is removed from the screen but no harm yet. Its still as crisp
and fast-responding as before
With new mail app you cannot sync your GMail contacts (use Exchange to sync)
Some movies still have letterboxing (shot in the superwide CinemaScope
aspect ratio; 21:9)
Video zoom ins with a tap on the screen
Strict iCloud restrictions
Web pages load quickly
Shared Photo Streams; you can share photos with friends or make your
sisters photos public and take revenge
You remember Symbian second edition phones which vomited all apps
located inside folders when the memory card was removed and
reinserted? (though there was a Python app to cure that) A similar
issue exists in the iOS6 which can be observed when sync through
itunes to replicate your i4
Ergonomics are not that great
The cable looks fragile
Connector is not sturdy
In the Maps app, traffic stats may go missing
Cannot set a limit on data usage (like in Android). LTE can be a pitfall
Safari sometimes loads the cached page instead of refreshing it
No Viruses or Malwares
No fakes that pull user data unbeknown to user
Heavily depends on iTunes
Custom Vibration alerts
It isnt a global LTE phone. LTE roaming is still not possible
44 percent extra color saturation
A boyfriend took his girlfriend to a football game. On the way back
home, the boy asked how was the game from the girl.
"All I heard was quarter back! Quarter back", she replied, "Hello, its
only 25 cents!"
All folks talk fanatically about how app developers will take the
advantage of the added space. Hello! its just 0.5 inches!
There are some camera apps that provide Panorama modes but Apple's
move is the most fine tuned of all
Geekbench score of 1,628, SunSpider scoring an average of 924ms
(guardian.com), its the king of benchmarks
A Passbook API for custom apps to fork into
Maps does show traffic
Wifi doesnt keep pace with LTE. Switching to it instead of Wifi will
be your first concern (when you discover it) even at an expensive
rate. Excessive usage, expensive rates!. A data cap or a bottle neck?
Regarding the battery, still Droid Razr Maxx is the king
Bookmarks arent visual thumbnails like Android offers. In Safari its
just a flat list
iPhone 5 as an hot spot, it gives as strong results as an iPad. Now
tethering charges and data usage fees
Photos added to the Photo Stream appear within 30 seconds
Photo Stream isn't as perfect as Google+ Events and furthermore bit dry
The very top and bottom of the rear is still glass
When compared to other platforms, iOS 6 lacks aesthetics
Lens are guarded with a sapphire crystal glass
The colors are now more saturated but not too oversaturated like most
AMOLEDs. The most interesting fact is, its not so accurate either
A nice readability under sun light
Superb viewing angles
There's distortion with voices when use the speakerphone (keep reading)
A slightly weaker signal strength on Sprint when compared to other
Sprint devices
No continuous focus, only touch focus
Support for the videos playback out of the box is limited to videos
encoded in MPEG-4
Earpods headphones, feels loose in the ear
Videos recorded in low light conditions easily gather noise
A capture rate of 24 frames per second though its 29 on paper
The black surface may gather up fingerprints and skin oil easily that
are difficult to clean
Click options in the camera view and select Panorama, iPhone will
guide you through the rest and will even warn you if you move too fast
headlong
The notifications panel lets user post messages to Facebook or Twitter
and thats it. Nothing new other than that in the notification area
Three microphones and beamforming, the reciever hears a hell out from
the calling party
World thought Iphone 5 will shake the world or tear it down into two
pieces, send a cold shockwave through spines of every man, cure
cancer, boil pancakes without real pans, bring back Steve Jobs into
life, pay the national debt of Greece, float itself on air without
human intervene and finally bring world peace and put an end to all
civil wars. Worse, I know few who had plans to set a nuke on fire with
it and throw off there inherited worn out grandpa lighters away. As it
turns out, all rendered futile
The "passes" of Passbook are location-sensitive and shown directly on
your lock screen
New dock doesnt support iPod Out. Sell your BMW that came with that
expensive dock
Its "Lightning" but really based on USB 2.0
Wifi a/b/g/n compatible and dual-band. You can drop jammed 2.4GHz to
get more from 5GHz
The Siri-driven restaurant reservation system is only available in the
US, Canada and Mexico
No live tiles and widgets. Boring. Now with most smart phones the case
is most functions are happening in the lock screen. But with iphone
you have to dig deep into apps and folders to have a look into live
things
NFC would have made the Passbook much better
The tactile king is still Nokia's Lumia 800
A friction to the edges and the metal back. Its less likely to slip
One layer laid off from the screen. It can be confusing at first
The "Panorama" cannot go beyond 28MBs a scene
One layer is off and its just like your touching a very sexy Pixelized
version of Kate winslet itself with your dumb ass thumbs, only a layer
of pixels deep. A screen intervene is null (no, not that saucy still
from the ship that sunk leaving her ashore)
Its Hanuman! No its Ravan! No its Rama! No actually its iphone's
Panorama! Samsung Panoramas forces user to stay focussed! Just
kidding. Samsung Panoramas force user to stay in one place and move
the camera around. With iphone you can even move yourself. After all
its made in states where the freedome is the most talked about thing.
With that levels of shooting freedom, they have built the true
"Democratic Shot".
Siri wont serve cricket
In the offline mode of Safari, links remain as links unlike Androids
dead links in lethargic PDF like offline docs
Web pages are served swiftly
You cannot flyover most residential areas and less significant or less
storied arenas
No traffic warnings
Maps lack the infografic layers of Google Maps that can be applied for
individual uses
Map's loading is swift unlike Google's. Zooming is smooth and image
processing is brisk
Siri can now easily pick up your words even when the atmosphere is
crowded or noisy
Siri still dates Google as its still not outdated in the area of
search. Siri does Google things if the queries are too stupid and
cannot be interpreted herself. Love or hate?
The new handset is not for "Lets try it again" attitude. If you
disliked the way iphone behaved in the past, you wont like it this
time either
The greenish hue issue of the display of 4S is fixed
Panoramas wont be always perfect. Be prepared to have few freaked out ones
Eight Reminders on one screen (it was five on the iPhone 4S)
In the Mail app, you can preview 6 mails with one line text of each
The extra length spaces for more text above the virtual keys
The extra screen height; pop ups will be bearable
Apple took 5 years to give that extra 0.5 inches of screen
Fits in the pants
The extra pixels cover a bit more of faces on phone calls
An easier grip
The screen is tall but not wide
UI still hasn't changed. Looks like a first gen Ipod touch
For most, iphone was way ahead of the competition when it was first
launched. Now its just catching up
What matters most beside its design gimmic is how well it will perform when it
comes to cellular and GPS signal strength with all that aluminium trunkage
IOS 6 on i4S? On an 800MHz and a
512MB RAM set? It will be bit sluggish
Docs will be furnished with more space beside the virtual keyboard
Landscape-oriented video playback (larger size and less letterboxing)
Samsung's S Beam transfers data between NFC devices
Improved call-management tools
App and iTunes Stores redesigned
Video out isn't supported by that new adapter (a Lightning-to-VGA or
Lightning-to-HDMI cable will be required)
"An entire city is in the ocean, a farm has been labeled as an
airport, highways end in the middle of
nowhere and a hospital now covers the entire center of British city
Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare's home" Yahoo reports on Maps app
Apps that uses Google Maps/data, will be redirected to Apple's new map venture
Free turn-by-turn navigation
Name your home with a pseudo (any name other than "Home") as a
security measure. Otherwise it will be easier for thieves to track you
down to your dining room or somewhere more inconvenient
Siri isnt AI-the-perfect, you dont have to bother about the context of
what you command
Siri's dictation isn't perfect (Now I've got two shes that everytime
get the opposite of what I command. Wow! They say Steve Jobs is a
visionary. For whats sake? They say he had a passion for electronics
and used to screw things since he was a child)
Details such as road names seems greater
Data transmission speeds are reportedly at or above comparable Android
LTE devices
Switching between 3G and 4G connectivity, the iPhone 5 does an
excellent job at finding and keeping signals
The Maps app does public transportation directions, but in a different
way. When you click on that bus-shaped icon, it directs you to do a
search for "Routing Apps" in the App Store and you'll be redirected to
a list of apps that offer you public transit information (though non
exists at the time)
Maps will list some important POIs, mostly gas stations and
convenience shops etc
You can send texts or emails, or make phone calls with her without
unlocking the phone
She does weather forecasts and stock prices too
Reportedly, AT&T is still honoring grandfathered unlimited plans for
those who bought the original iPhone. Better stick with AT&T
If it is wires that matters most to you such as Lightning, go wireless
"If iphone doesnt do what I want, there is still one option, "Early
Termination," when I convinced my wife, she demanded two tickets for
the new flick (from Sylvester with Arnold)
New Lightning is nearly 20 percent
faster than previous solutions. But whether its purely a cable miracle
or internal hardware marvel is unknown
Video capturing seems to gather more noise than before
Public transports dismissed but you can get directions for driving or
walking (if you were just confused over all this public transportation
missing link)
3D flyover, just a two-finger swipe away
Apple executives say the smaller "Lightning" connector allowed it to
make the iPhone 5 and new iPod Touch thinner. Now I get it!
AT&T has said you'll be able to keep using your existing plan if you
upgrade to the iPhone 5
Will Strauss, an analyst at Forward Concepts, which studies chips,
says the iPhone 5's all glass and aluminum body precludes it from
using NFC
Even if your contract is up on AT&T and you have an unlimited plan,
you can still get an iPhone 5 and keep the unlimited plan
Google slashed the price of its Maps API by 88 per cent
The Panorama stitches a 360-degree wide image together. Next time you
can send a 360-degree image of your new invention to the
kickstarter.com easily
Just utter "give me directions to'" to Siri, she will transform
herself into a GPS
When you purchase the iPhone 5 through AT&T or Apple, it includes a
SIM, and you activate it with your number through iTunes. You won't
have to swap cards or go to a store either
The Apple's Facebook app API is
public, so non-Apple apps can share to Facebook too
Verizon has a larger 4G LTE coverage than AT&T and Sprint
New customers of Verizon can choose only a shared data plan (costs
more eventually. If your after Verizon, share a plan with the family
members or room mates or you can use multiple devices)
AT&T offers customers to choose a shared data plan or an individual
"tiered" plan. Better if you're on a budget
Your Facebook friends' App Store recommendations will be visible. No
need to waste time on forums asking for best apps
Older apps run letterboxed (tiny black bars on the top and bottom)
Non optimized Apps still work perfectly fine even letterboxed
,especially in portrait mode
New 16:9 aspect ratio reduces or removes letterboxing across the
screen in landscape mode
YouTube videos looks great
LTE comes with expensive rates and data caps
The landscape 16:9 aspect ratio closes to the dimensions of a standard
HDTV screen and most game console screens. Game developers will be
happier
The bottom is freshly filled with new shiny stuff, the headphone jack,
the larger, redesigned speakers, a new type of perforated grille and a
tiny Lightning connector port
Airplay Mirroring
$649 for the 16GB with no contract
Maps replaces the lock screen image when the phone's lying idle and
when required (for turn by turn nav etc)
Snaps are lightning-fast, faster than an i4
You can capture multiple shots with quick tapping. Though its not a
multiburst, a triple-tap can shoot three photos. Something that wasnt
available in i4
Forget about LTE, international roaming is possible between 2G and 3G
Low-light pictures, grainier and lower resolution than images taken in
bright-light
Slide two fingers up or down on either end of the screen, you can flyover 3Dly
Rotate the maps with two fingers
Go straight to the north by tapping a compass
The virtual keyboard in landscape mode provides more space to t[humb+t]ype
The anodized aluminum is the same as that on its MacBook laptop counterpart
Lightning port-speaker dock incompatibility
Its interesting to see that an updated HDMI adapter will be coming
soon, along with a VGA one for projectors and other displays
Analog and USB audio will flow scot free. But its a speaker dock, an
adapter and your iphone on top of them. How it will look like?
Works with USB 2.0, won't work with USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt or even Micro-USB
In landscape mode, text gets bigger and thus better because page width
stretches out. More words fit on a single line
If you go astray up or down, Panorama will tell you to keep in line
Ultimate goal of Passbook is about taking consumer activity paperless
Three variants to comply with the various 4G LTE networks around. One
for AT&T, another for Sprint and Verizon and a third to handle the LTE
networks in Europe and Asia
When you reach callers via speaker phone, they recieve a clearer call than i4
It's odd. Pages of e-books could feel more stretched
In portrait mode, document text may not seem larger
iPhone 5 doesn't look entirely different with the screen turned off
iCloud Tabs, just like Android's live synchronisation to the Chrome
Browser, which will be available with iOS 6's and Mountain Lion's
Safari. A simple synchronised list of opened tabs between the devices
Will icloud Tabs be available for users of Safari on other non-Apple
devices? Still no words
When you activate a new iPhone with your existing iCloud account, you
can still have your old gold, including photos, apps, settings and
passwords for email, calendars, Wi-Fi,and alarm times etc
Android or Windows will download your apps but you have to fill in the
settings and recreate your alarms and app settings
Turning off notifications with iOS 5 notification center was tricky.
Do Not Disturb seems to fix that. It allows to easily schedule time
From the browser to the photo gallery, there is a share button. Its an
universal list which grows, depending on what software and services
you have installed (from Facebook to your SMS messenger to Bluetooth
transfers and even Pinterest if you install it)
On carriers without LTE, the iPhone 5 will run on dual-band 3.5G HDPA+.
"I was in NYC at a Wall Street dinner and everyone put their BB's on
the table; not a single Iphone. I asked the bankers why and they said,
they are in the business of business and not the toy business" one
reader of a leading web portal commented
