Because of Apple's excellent marketing strategy, everybody is crazy about the phone. Others have pre-ordered it, so I heard. I, am not really a fan.

I think iPhone 5 will really hit it big just like the earlier iPhones. It has become an obsession of people to just grab the latest Apple product. And of course, now that it has been launched, competitors are acting fast on what additional features they could provide to their next Android phones.

I think that the main thing that the iPhone can offer is the number of applications that are available for it. With most of them being made for Apple, this means that there are a lot more things that you could do with this phone than you could do if you bought any other phone. I don't think that any other mobile phone will suffer because of it though, because Apple have released a lot of phones in the past without too much trouble to the rest of the market, but they will have to make sure that they continue to develop their own lines so that they don't get left behind.

Hi,
When something is new in the electronic world, people with lots money to spend always scramble to get the latest model. Now, mean lots of old phone going to the dumps or being handed down to lesser individuals who can't afford the expensive ones.
On my part, I vowed to myself that if my two-year old phone goes out, I would never buy the latest model, I would get the oldest model on the market available.

nothing big, maybe. this new version seems like the old versions. the only big difference is that it has a bigger and wider screen. in addition, maybe it added new features though however there were also features in Samsung galaxy s3 and Nokia lumia which is more advance that the new feature of iPhone 5s
in addition, iPhone series are too expensive for others so only those who can afford can buy it. well, the fact is apple really getting a high income on those type of phones when it releases. now it is getting bigger now, now that United states already banned all Samsung phone models especially the Samsung galaxy phones which uses android.
in addition, it is still not available is some countries like here in thew Philippines. it will only be launched here on October.

At present,to buy iphone is a fashion,and many people buy iphone with impluse,however,the hot tide has been fading away and many people,as far as i know,will not buy iphone 5,because the style of iphone 5 is nothing new,even more,my officemates say it is ulgy.
the other reason is,the price of iphone5 is too high to afford,many people have bought iphone so far,they are reluctant to buy a new one,unless they haven't bought iphone and have lots of money,i think these people is very few,so i think iphone5 will not welcome as previous.

I don't know what the big deal is about iPhones... All the ones I've used weren't really that great... I use cell phone for work reason & I do go through few hundred emails a day... Not to mention over 2,500 minutes of talk time every month... I went through few different smart phones, including few different versions of iPhones, & I find them more annoying than anything else... I guess more & more people looking for a next toy, iPhone 5 will do ok for the first few month then phase out like the rest...
