oh yes, fastest smartphone running an operating system almost as bad as windows phone
Huh? How is iOS 7 bad at all? Everyone I've ever heard of that complains about iOS 7 has been doing so because they're incapable of figuring out how to adapt to changes. In reality, iOS 7 has added tons of features that I use (and have been using for months) all the time, while delivering me the prettiest mobile operating system theme I've ever seen.
Anyway, I remember when I got my iPhone 5 on launch day and it was the fastest phone on the market. I'd show off by loading popular apps twice as fast as people with the iPhone 4S, so I'd say that the power is useful for something. However, people are right in saying that in a few months there will be a new phone topping this one. It's just how it works, the latest performance phone to release always grabs the title, only to be assassinated by the next one in a month. If my phone wasn't defective, I'd skip this phone all together. Some gaudy gold color metal option, a finger print scanner, a negligibly improved camera and a performance boost I won't notice after the first week isn't enough to sell me.
