Yay more overpriced outdated-at-release machinery for people to yell at each other about.

They're always making the processor better too, I don't know why people keep forgetting that. Oh yeah that's because bandwaggoners love to nit pick all the details. "Omg is sam tin agen lol iphun sux adrod mstr raec"
>Processor is up to 2x faster
>Facetime over LTE
>LTE
>Longer battery life, because processor is efficient
>Its taller (*I could care less truly) and thinner
>Better charger
>8MP camera
>Retina display (old but still great, no other phone has it)

*The phone was meant to fit in your hand really nicely, and you can reach your thumb around every corner of the phone. Phones like the Samsung Galaxy S III is like putting a goddamn tablet to your face, which is ridiculously stupid and inefficient for one hand operation.
Likely unnoticeable performance gain.  Either way, the S3 has a damn quad core.
Facetime over LTE will burn your data like a motherforgeter.  There's a reason that only the most devout phone-addicts will use any sort of video-streaming over LTE, because they're loving connection-addicts.  LTE also consumes battery much more quickly.
LTE is not "iPhone revolutionary", it's a common technology that's been around for a long while now.
Citation needed.
Granted, taller and thinner, ok.
All old accessories are useless unless you stick with pre-Lightning products.
8MP camera isn't new.  I've seen phones with 8MP before the S2 even.  8MP is becoming common and within time a better camera will be made.
Retina display is hardly worthy really.  Imagine your computer monitor becoming super high resolution but everything gets blown up in size to accommodate and make up for its smaller size.  Not that impressive, right?  It only bloats the price.

Regarding the size,  I have literally no problem with my 4.3" S2 screen and my fingers.  If you have problems with screen size you are probably too young to even use the phone then.


Even though not many is fond with apple, I still find this to be a clever advertisement.
Bravo, Apple! Bravo!

All old accessories are useless unless you stick with pre-Lightning products. So what? The iPhone comes with the new charger, so I dont see the problem. Why would you need the older products if you have the new iPhone?

Retina display is hardly worthy really.  Imagine your computer monitor becoming super high resolution but everything gets blown up in size to accommodate and make up for its smaller size.  Not that impressive, right?  It only bloats the price. Pixel is incredulously smaller. Its taking a big monitor and scaling it down to 4", I don't see how that isn't impressive

Regarding the size,  I have literally no problem with my 4.3" S2 screen and my fingers.  If you have problems with screen size you are probably too young to even use the phone then. Im 16 and I wouldn't be putting this to my face:



My fingers are long too, I doubt they would reach all the way across the screen with one hand.

oh man the A6 chip is loving awesome
the new 8-pin connector is nice too, and so are the headphones
and it's not horribly overpriced like most apple products.
let's see how fast it becomes jailbroken.
I'm gonna weigh this against the galaxy s3, but I'll probably just upgrade to this because of the app store, userbase, and cydia

Likely unnoticeable performance gain.  Either way, the S3 has a damn quad core. ...and is also the size of a table.

LTE is not "iPhone revolutionary", it's a common technology that's been around for a long while now. While it's not, don't complain.  The popularity of the iPhone will probably get networks to expand their networks much faster.

Granted, taller and thinner, ok.
All old accessories are useless unless you stick with pre-Lightning products. There will be a 30 pin adapter.
8MP camera isn't new.  I've seen phones with 8MP before the S2 even.  8MP is becoming common and within time a better camera will be made. I take it you haven't used the iPhone 4's camera.  Also, it IS new to the iPhone.  Should Apple just not advertise new features?
Retina display is hardly worthy really.  Imagine your computer monitor becoming super high resolution but everything gets blown up in size to accommodate and make up for its smaller size.  Not that impressive, right?  It only bloats the price. This is why I like the iPhone, the retina screen is really nice.  Apple set the standard for phone resolutions, why should you have monitor sized pixels on something that is much closer to your face?

Its still locked down, incompatible, expensive, and doesn't have a loving USB Port.

I'll give you locked down, but incompatible?  With what?  The iPhone is just as expensive as its competition, and no phone out there has a usb port, they have micro usb.

Never said it was.

You certainly implied it was new.
You don't understand the idea of "having to buy all your accessories over again".  Any speaker docks or car connectors for your older iPhones are now useless unless you stick with your 4S/older.  You now have to buy everything over again.
Yes, I know the pixel is smaller.  Again, if you shrink a big monitor and scale it down to 4" you still have to blow up items in size (i.e. icons, text, etc.) in order to actually be able to see it on the damn phone.
That's the Galaxy Note for sure.  That is way too wide to be the Galaxy S3.  The Galaxy Note is intended to be used with the included stylus, FYI.

Second time telling you this now

USB = Micro USB it's all very common. also, what about Java? Flash? Apple has to make separate apps to support Youtube and such because it wants to force the use of Quicktime.  Also, If you lose the charging cord, you can't just go out and buy a Micro-USB cable from Walmart and let it charge, you have to pay $30 for an Apple to USB charger/Connection. Also, It's resolution is significantly smaller than 1080p

What can I say? I'm a natural.

Solution: don't lose your charging cable.  Also, did you know that the company that owns Youtube also made Android?  I heard they're now making their own Youtube app for iOS so it doesn't suck ass too.  Isn't that a weird coincidence? Oh, and android has great flash support by the way.

It still has better flash support than iOS does... an outdated version is much better than nothing at all.

Youre both being whiny.
