Every post about Apple on here is sure to get that poster coming in "catapulting the propaganda" as Bush so aptly put it. I have never seen a bigger Apple Fanboy/Fangirl ever.

That being said, Apple's iPhone 5 offered seriously nothing new to buyers of Iphone 3 or 4. At least 4 had Siri. All 5 has is a lofty price tag and a totally failed attempt to take on Google Maps.

It's just a matter of time. Samsung's products are already superior and the word seems to be getting out about that. The Galaxy phones are selling like hotcakes. If Google gets Motorola really back off the ground the way they want, we could be seeing two Droid phones ranking over Apple in sales.

I think the Nexus 4 is a game changer. ForgoTheConsequence Nov 2012 #1
