iPhone 5s, yay or nay?

iPhone 5s, yay or nay?

Sup!
Just wondering, any of you thinking of buying the new model?
My 4 is getting VERY sluggish, and i oh-so-want that keylock on djay :drooling_face:

I’ll probably take advantage of the euro/dollar conversion, the 64gb in europe costs 900€, while in the US it goes for 849$, which is about 640€, a huge deal of money.

Any thoughts?

P

Coming from the 4, you will crap your pants at the speed of the 5S. I upgraded from a regular 4 to a 5 last year. I can’t even stand using my girl’s 4 for anything. Treat yourself. You’re worth it.

Or just get an Android phone…

He said he wanted something fast that can run real apps :stuck_out_tongue:

Do it man, pull the trigger !

LOL… its funny cause its true.

The apps are 5x better on iOS, but that doesn’t incite much for new users, people jumping ship. They need to update the platform before they lose the app developers too.

I already have the 5, and don’t really need the 5s, but I’m pretty sure after I see the phone RGAS will kick in and I’ll land up buying it anyway.. :stuck_out_tongue:

Benches for the A7 have come in, thing is a bloody beast. Beats sammy’s own octacores.
Not that i doubted apple, optimization > brute power

It’s sold out every store that sells Apple locally here.. The phone is a huge step up to the 4, i loved going from my 4 to 5, the iPhone 4 is just like a slab now compared to the 5 and 5S. So go for it! If you’re making a saving that’s an extra bonus!

I’m gonna wait for the 6 though.

… I’ll just leave this here for ya :wink:

Erm..nope.
Samsung’s the foundry of the chip, not the designer. Apple could’ve outsourced the production to TSMC or GlobalFoundries, but they sticked to samsung since they provide their memory modules at a lower price than competitors.

So while sammy manufactured the chip, it’s designed in-house by apple. The exynos on the other hand is completely samsung made.

The fact still stands, thing beats the crap out of exynos’ and latest-gen snapdragons.

yay

I went from 4 to 5 and it is insane how much better the phone is. So 4 to a 5S will be unreal. Make it happen.

Might as well get an android for half the price. Every iphone update makes it closer and closer to an android.

Sold!

I was happy just to get ios7. Makes my 4 brand new again.

I disagree. The one thing that matters the most to me is fluidity and touch latency. And even with Butter and octacore processors, android still seriously lags behind iOS. So no to android for me.

7 killed my ipt battery… Happy i restored back to 6 while apple still signed its ipsw…

Had this problem. Adjusted my Location Services. Problem solved.

My 5s gets delivereed on wednesday, coming from a 4, cant wait :smiley:

i work for Verizon cust care, i have to say wait for just one reason and thats the new tech there packing into these phones. thumb unlock is largely untested on this kind of device on this kind of scale, the a7 looks nice but no one is making 64 bit apps yet so its usefulness is limited at-least for the time being. and the overall camera improvements arr mehhhh,

there is some industry standard stuff that apple just wont pick up ether no usb, no sd card, no removable battery, no gorilla glass. make sure to get insurance so when you brake the screen you dont have to drop a extra 800 on a phone (insurance that cost 3 bucks more each month with a 50 dollar higher deductible than any other device)

to be honest its not a bad buy but i never advise anyone to buy a device within the first month of release, it like a beta period. when the 4s launched there was a huge issue with the software where the device would say it was on wifi but use you cell data up at the same time, bugs like these don’t show up till half a million peeps use them for about a month and then it takes another month or so to get the correct stability patch out
