Apple iPhone 5S

[Kamal]

Seeing the inevitable (i.e. I'm getting one), thought of starting a thread asking what folks are hearing of the upcoming rumors. So far what I've heard,
- Slightly bigger battery
- Better camera
- Dual flash camera LED
- iOS 7 (boring)
- and today's fresh rumor - a larger screen (4.3" vs 4")

I hope they don't end up with this

Rumor that fingerprint sensor will cause delay.

Re: Apple iPhone 5S

And I forgot about the possibility of a 128 GB iPhone coming in, considering the iPads are now up to 128 GB.

you know, I thought long and hard about this comment since the day you posted this.

Honestly, I'm not just saying it, having gone through a slew of high-end Android devices and a (presently) mediocre iPhone 4 (with iOS 6 and 7 beta installed recently), I came away feeling a lot more "satiated" with IOS than Android. I can't explain it, but the sense of security knowing that 10 different manufacturers with scrupulous intentions couldn't have some retarded backdoor hacking away my passwords made me more comfortable with it (Huawei and God knows who else is in on it, in this near Third World War era we live in).

That and the fact that iOS's more stringent app requirements make for a safer / secure platform in a post-prism / anonymous world (heck even DOD admits they have a nightmare with iMessage). Moreover, iOS still performs relatively smooth on my older hardware and the massive adoption of Apple products by family and friends makes it a relatively easy no-brainer to switch to.

Don't get me wrong, Android 4.2.2 on my HTC One is just silk, but it doesn't make me "feel" like iOS does...

Re: Apple iPhone 5S

I don't own an Android but this reminds me of the PC vs Mac days back in the 80s.

Android/PC: Versatility, more open, power users love it, but infinitely more fragmented.

iPhone/Mac: More focused, more polished, a cohesive ecosystem, less tinkering.

I would've enjoyed Android more back in the days when I was building PCs and overclocking them. These days I have less power-user requirements and the iPhone works for me.

The Android fragmentation is a huge barrier to me too.

Very nicely put.... I am always at a loss for explanation as to why I still use my iPhone and iTouch over any other Android device or mp3 player... although I am secretly rooting for Android, I have yet to be won over. I have a friend who thinks I am crazy to stick with the iPhone 5, since she's picked up her Galaxy S4

Re: Apple iPhone 5S

But I'm always tempted by Android. And now the Moto X.

Re: Apple iPhone 5S

That temptation will die 2 days after your 30 day return policy.
