iPhone 5S and 5C


Recommended Posts

Hello LCPD:FR, 

 

let me just start by saying THIS IS NOT A SPAM MESSAGE, OR AN ADVERTISEMENT! 

 

I was curious about everyone's opinions on Apple's new phones. I recently picked up a 5S, and I love it so far. What do you all think?

That 5C is butt ugly, I really don't like it. Apple has died over these years, when Steve Jobs died, So did apple. But still I have a 4s, and its great! But, I don't plan on upgrading anytime soon.

I agree with the ugliness, though I do quite like the 'Space Gray' 5S. :3

I don't have the Next Iphone 5s, as there are allot of bad flipping reviews on it. I had about 5 people saying about how bad the phone is and that they break so easy. apple is going down and down, apple is Finished when Steve Jobs died, they want down ever senses

I myself like the 5S and 5C. Though, I currently have a 5 and won't be upgrading to either of them. In fact, the 5C would be sort of a downgrade with its plastic (or whatever it is) covering.

 

I don't want to fork out money for the exact same phone with a fingerprint scanner among other things. I was the same way with the 4...didn't want to get the 4S, so just waited until the 5.

The iPhone 5C is "crap" because it's meant to be a cheap version. That's why it's only $99.

 

I'll stick with my 4S for as long as I can.

Simple, IPhone 5suck iPhone5copy

I thought is was iPhone 5Shit and iPhone 5Crap. 

 

Anyhow, I have had an iPod 4th gen since they released it and that's as far as I'm going for any Apple device. I don't like their phones, or computers. I'll stick with my 3 year old Samsung Galaxy Nexus that runs perfectly and faster than my friends iPhone 5.

Like empire said, I think Apple's innovation died with Steve Jobs. Apple has not made anything really revolutionary ever since his death. A fingerprint scanner seems to be a gimmick to me, and its not necessary. I think Apple feels pressure from other manufacturers who are making phones to specifically suit certain things, such as low end phones for people who can't pay as much, waterproof phones, phones that have a bigger display, or phones with more battery life. A one-size-fits-all approach is never going to work as well as having the ability to fit a phone to your needs. I think the main reason people buy an iphone is because of the "hip" factor and the simplicity of use.

I'm sorry but I think you might have found the child's pretend phone if its only $99.

 

Its still on the apple store as £500 for me, so its still overpriced shit.

 

My personal opinion is don't ever get an apple product, ever. You end up paying 2x as much for it because apple always puts its products 2x higher on the price bands.

 

I'll be getting an android phone when my contract is ready for upgrade. Android can do exactly the same as any iphone can and doesn't limit you hopelessly to apple-only everything.

You ruin your iPhone and they say "we need to have it checked by apple people only, nobody else, but we are going to charge you 100x the price of a normal phone repair guy to do it"

I soft-bricked my android tablet not so long ago, googled how to fix it and was done within an hour.

 

I would never buy anything apple. Just because its not worth it in my eyes, you're pretty much buying it for the apple on the back and an 'i' in its name.

 

 

And to br100x (I didn't click multi-quote, should have)

 

"I think Apple feels pressure from other manufacturers who are making phones to specifically suit certain things"

 

 

They certainly are, their shares plummeted recently and their net worth as a company decreased too. Android (google's new mobile OS) has 2 thirds of the smartphone market, so Apple is getting hit hard because like me, more and more people are enjoying the open minded happy approach of android and the larger variety of smartphones available to them.

 

You can tell they're under pressure too. Look at when they released the iphone 5. It was a few mm taller and a little bit thinner with very little other changes. but that was a "new" phone.

 

I'm sure we've all seen the evolution if iphone predicted

And of course the iphone's newest feature in development....the iphone-saber

I totally agree with you. Apple's idea of a making a new iphone is just making it thinner, lighter, and installing a camera with more megapixels. I don't know why people even buy iphones when you could get cheaper (and in my opinion better) alternatives running Android or even Windows. The Samsung Galaxy S4 is absolutely amazing, with a 1920x1080 OLED screen, a hugely powerful processor, and more. What's even more amazing is that they managed to make the S4 Active, which has pretty much the same features as the regular S4 (minus the OLED screen, which is replaced with a not-as-vibrant LED screen). The active holds an IP67 rating, which means that is completely protected from dust/sand and is waterproof down to 1m, where there is not significant water pressure. Anyway, my point is that competitor's phones provide many more features at roughly the same price tag.

 

I love the iphone 20! :P

It's interesting that they discontinued the iphone 5, yet they still sell the 4S. My guess is because, judging from past pricing, the phone would have cost either $99 or $49. The 5 actually had a higher quality battery, case, a multi-touch screen, and was lighter than the 5C. If apple had kept selling it, unless you just wanted the colorful polycarbonate case, you would have bought the original 5 because it had better features.

I don't understand how you've managed to get that, but you can also get the iphone 4s for free apparently.

 

No such page here in the UK. Is that on a specific thing?

 

 

And br100x, yep. Pretty much :)

Nice little sales pitch there about the s4 ;)

 

Its either that or the HTC one that I get when my contract is up for renewal. Probably the s4 as htc have had reliability issues from what I've seen of them.

 

I'm so getting the iphone 20 when it comes out :P

I guess it is a domestic company for them, which is why it is cheaper. The Canadian dollar is about the same as the American, yet we still have to pay extra for the same products. Maybe it could be shipping, but I'm pretty sure that's separate.
