if you're not going to make the most out of the extra technology available in a phone like an iPhone, there's no point spending the extra money on it.

Hipsters listen to records, but own iPhones... I don't get it.

Welp, I'm gonna let you guys rip the shit out of this on your own. I'm staying neutral here.

I'm glad they didn't make it wider. I can't remember what phone it was, maybe the Samsung ones, but they were stupidly wide. I don't know, if I had the money to burn I would probably get one, otherwise I'll just save up.

I don't really see why people complain about phone screen sizes... Unless they're stupidly big.

i don't understand why people want bigger phones, didn't we spend 20 years trying to make them as small as possible? i like the size of my 4S, though the iPhone 5 looks pretty snazzy. I was never gonna upgrade unless it was a massive upgrade, and this is not. i'll wait for the 6 or 7 or 5s or whatever the next one will be. maybe.

I'm glad they finally upped the screen size. I'm not a fan of watching videos where it's letterboxed (just a little bit).

thought you guys would like this, -_-

I'll stick with the previous version.

I'll probably end up sticking with my iPhone 4 for a while. It's my best kept phone. All my other ones are beat up or have had silly things break on them because I didn't take care of them. I guess when you drop a lot of money for an unlocked phone you're more likely to care for it.

I just wanted to post a little rant about the new iOS 6 map app in here... It suuuucks! Google maps was so much better, I think, mostly because you could use the GPS for the bus transit without having to download a separate app for it! I don't really care for the whole turn-by-turn feature as I don't use my iPhone as a GPS while driving (and let's be honest, you don't need turn-by-turn directions for either walking or riding the bus).

The whole map app feels messy and doesn't feel user friendly or simple anymore. Maybe I'm just not used to it. Not only that, but I've heard they are inaccurate.

Personally I feel that the interface is fine but, speaking from experience, the location services are phenomenally bad. While Google had 99% of shops accurate to the metre in Edinburgh, the new maps, even down here in London, can't even tell me where the Bloomsbury Theatre or the nearest Tesco is. Fucking hell, I've been sent down the wrong road so many times thanks to that app. Apple had better fix it soon. One thing which is really cool is the 3D feature, although this is little more than a gimmick and only even works for a handful of cities.

I can't even install iOS 6 cause I don't have the required 2.something GB of free memory and I can't be bothered to delete some of my shit. #Firstworldproblems

I no longer own an iPhone, but i feel like contributing to this thread :

i don't live in a large city, so the 3D is pointless, especially in the Canadian Prairies. I had to use the turn by turn directions in a larger city this weekend and i thought they worked pretty good. some GPS devices i've used tell me to turn left or right only ten metres before i have to, or while im turning. the Apple maps tells me to turn at least 50 metres before my turn, giving me some time to find the right turn.

i don't like how fucking slow the map itself loads when you just want to look around. Also, in google maps you used to be able to search for something like "5 guys burgers and fries, regina, SK" and it would show you some destinations in the form of red pins that match your search. now, you need to know the exact address of these places which is fucking bullshit especially if you're from out of town.

The turn-by-turn navigation got me from Brighton to Portsmouth with no problem :O

So do the road signs.

Yeah :P I was only trying it out!

srsly... how often should I charge my phone? I felt like I charged my 4S too often (every night mostly when it went down past 50%) and after a while the battery life was very short. My new phone (the 5), I got two days out of it the other day before getting to 28% and charging it then.
