When you bring your iPhone to your ear, it brings up Siri, so Im sure they could change that
Now flipping the phone over not to take a call, pretty cool feature |

The 4s is my first iPhone. I've had several blackberrys, Nokia's, and numerous android based phones and I've always had issues with them. Every now and then I power off and reboot my iPhone but that's it. Never any major issues and I use the heck out of it! The new iPhone isn't much of an improvement to me to justify upgrading yet. |

You mean like Obama? Oh - wait - he still uses a BB and doesn't know how to use anything else!

Have you ever seen a secured government smart phone? It looks like a phone from 10 years ago. |

1) The gub'ment doesn't move very fast in accepting and acquiring new tech like this. 2) It's what BlackBerry did so well. |

I had 4S change to Note and was gonna go with S3 but just can stand the plastic back cover of the note neither the S3. Just so cheap, Went with the HTC one X. Not too bad but the screen is like plastic or some. It get scratches so easy even just in and out from my pocket. Now went back to the 4 and wait for my iPhone 5 next Friday. Can't wait to have my hand on it. it not a huge upgrade but does look great compare to some cheap Samsung S3 or note. Can not stand the plastic back. I pick the iPhone 5 all day long compare to any android phone out there. For me the iPhone match with the Bimmer better than the android as BMW never made any cradle for android phone haha. Poor android people

He was comparing two electronic devices and their features; a valid comparison to any sane person. WTF are you on about? |

People always try to go tit-for-tat and critique things that are trivial such as a larger screen, but that's not what ultimately sells a phone, now is it? It's like saying a ROUSH Mustang is better because it has more horsepower than an Aston AMV8 but, we know that's not always the reason people desire these cars. SMH |

You do realize certain features are weighted differently by different people, right? People can have an opinion different from yours without being wrong. I love how you speak for everybody. The 3.5" screen was most definitely a problem for me, typing on that bitch is ridiculous if you've got big hands that are any thicker than the bones themselves. What makes you think people shouldn't buy a phone with the features that make them enjoy it the most? A bit ridiculous, no? |

Because you can't. This is not a personal war. Seriously. You're mentioning trivial things that APPLE is capable of equipping the iPhone with if they found good reason to but, obviously, the company chose against it for specific reasons. The talent is there. The technology is their. The materials are there, and to nitpick as if the most powerful brand on the planet is somehow behind the curve ball is laughable.

I'm an Apple shareholder. Have been for over 10 years. The company is responsible for tens of thousands in profit in my portfolio. I have nothing against them and am writing this on my Macbook right now. I owned every iPhone available till the 5. With that said, the iPhone 5 is not the best phone on the market right now IMO. That's my opinion, nothing more. Why you feel the need to defend Apple and the iPhone to the death is beyond me. Try to embrace competition and new technology from other companies. Maybe you'll realize Apple isn't the only company in the game if you take your blinders off. I have no regrets in my recent purchase, I just figured I would let others know that I am happy I made the switch. My iPhone 4S is in my desk drawer, and I suspect it will stay there for a long time. |

I agree with you on what apple did to us, and give all the credit to apple for the greatest inventions that they made. But...what does that have to do in defense of lack of features that other phones have? |

There is no reason to defend anything. That's my point. You guys and this "Us v. them" mentality is juvenile. You know the pedigree of Apple, so stop fronting. You know .5 less screen or whatever it is yadda yadda really inflicts no measurable inconvenience on the consumer overall. Those are trivial matters that really reduce what these devices ultimately accomplish. Pointless dialog. The iPhone is not perfect but certainly no other smart-device is desired as much. I think that supersedes whatever the naysayers are trying to accomplish here.

Someone said in the previous pages that Apple should stop suing and start innovating. But the irony in that entire statement is that Apple saw it necessary to sue to protect their brand. The old adage, "Imitation is the best form of flattery" applies here. And Apple won to boot! Everyone wants to be floored or amazed at every creation Apple makes which is actually more evidence the consumer expects an awesome product! Did the consumer get amazed this go around? Opinions vary.... After growing up watching Michael Jordan, for example, amaze me on the court, his style became less amazing yet still inspiring and and still rich in talent? Did he get worse at his game? No! We as fans just kept raising the bar. That's all.

People are just saying that they find other phone more useful for their need now. And those features you call "no measurable inconvenience" are very meaningful to majority of people and your comment is very subjective. |

That's like saying a 90" panel tv is better than a 60" because it's simply bigger. Lol |
