3x better in performance my butt! You gotta account for that laggy OS, and the crapware installed on android. And better design? While I understand you prefer it, you can't use better design as an example. Build quality and feel quality.

Gotta keep that gimmicky crap and monster screen size going, and the battery life isn't good in the S4.
The problem with you is, you think it's all about specs when it's not. A bare minimum? That's the most stupidest thing I've head from any tech blogger. The iPhone 5 is up there with the S4 in therms of REAL WORLD PERFORMANCE. All of that stuff you listed, like smart scroll, that takes more effort then just scrolling the page.
But, it took Samaung almost 3 years to catch up! The iPhone 5, you can't see with the pixels with the eye, so what's the use to increase it? The colors can be debated.
and I'm telling you right now the iPhone is better of the 2!

And let's end this with this quote from the BBC:
Absolutely, its up in your ****, ie iPhone it is.iPhonefreak said:
OWNED!Luke said:
Scream all you want. But that doesn't make iPhone 5 a better phone. iPhone 5 is good, but SGS4 with 8 cores owns the iPhone 5 in both real and virtual words.iPhonefreak said:
Now you say SGS4 is all with Gimmicky features, that shows how lame you actually are and how little you know about SGS4.
The Galaxy S4 lets you pop-out any playing video to watch while you’re doing other things. I won't call that a gimmicky feature. Instead I would call it an awesome feature. Another VERY useful feature is multi window which lets 2 apps on the screen at once. I can go on and on with the useful features that SGS4 have.

The iPhone 5 doesn't need all of those cores. You gotta have that many on an android device to get it to run good! Have you seen the articles? Mini phones are coming back around and the stupid phablet fad is quickly fading.
I hate the quote that says its the same as the 4 and 4S. Appetently these are either dead people, or blind people writing those things.
I don't believe that market share or whatever, and if true, I pull up the fact its 1,000,000,000,000,000 vs 6.
Steve Jobs left a 5 year plan, so this may all be his plan.
If I know nothing about phones, then you must know pidly squat.
Seriously I hate all those really big phones(bigger than 5inches). But still your statement doesn't stand. Almost all the smart-phone manufacturers are coming up with devices around 5inch every now and then. Samsung, Sony, HTC, Huawei everyone is making bigger phones nowadays. So that means, there are people who like phones that way. And you say the market is fading.iPhonefreak said:
And one more thing. You know this is the beauty of android, you have choices. If you like really huge phones, you can actually buy one. If you like smaller phones you can get that too.
I really don't care what you say it makes me or anyone, still you didn't know much about the SGS4 when you wrote that reply.iPhonefreak said:
Yeah absolutely. Thats why Apple released a bigger version of their iphone when the market for the bigger devices became huge.iPhonefreak said:
xpl0iter: this guy is clearly a tosser who really doesn't know anything about technology nor phones nor reality. We're seriously wasting our time with this guy who really is in his own little mythological belief that the iPhone is the best phone on the market.
He obviously an iSheep, who without question will go out and buy the next Apple product, only to basically get re-sold the same product. iSheep are quite often wrong and are always convinced they are correct. iPhonesheep is clearly a brainwashed iSheep. If he seriously believes that the iPhone 5 is more powerful than the S4 and that the iPhone "doesn't need all those cores" he is seriously in some sort of mythological belief that he is being sold the best product on the market, when I can think of a large amount of phones which are a lot better than the iPhone and better all-round because those companies are innovating and not throwing out the same product every year.
Am I hating on the iPhone? No, I like the products and they are okay, but I am in reality where things aren't black and white like iPhone's and I'm happy to look at other phones being made by HTC, Samsung and many other products and actually bring it to myself to realise that these are better phones on the market. Maybe I'm able to do that because I have a lot more knowledge in phones, or maybe I'm able to enter in reality and not even look at anything which Apple has churned out which is basically just the same product with a few really minor tweaks.
I'm sorry iPhonesheep, but you're really beginning to annoy people with your black and white look at everything and not taking any notice of any other devices on the market. The iPhone was the phone of last year, actually the year before. The Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One and Sony Xperia Z are the phones of this year. I'm not the only tech blogger who sees it this way, I can't even find a Galaxy S4 vs iPhone 5 comparison where the iPhone actually wins. One thing which it seems I have which you don't is the ability to open my eyes and look at other products on the market. I used to be an Apple fan, then they just started throwing out the same products out every-year and that was getting boring when other companies are now years ahead of Apple.
The iPhone is nice, but I'm sick of seeing the same products released every year by Apple which have little to no change. Look at the change between the S3 and the S4 and then the 4S to the 5, there's a massive change between the S3 and S4 and then there's a disappointingly little change between the 4S and 5.

Your freaking blind, you know that? I'd highly suggest you see an eye doctor ASAP, cause something is not right.
Thank you calling me a stupid and unpleasant person. I would not expect any different from an android user. I know a hell of a lot of stuff about technology and phones and know just as much, if not more. And as for the iSheep remark, I do not mind being called that as I am loyal, and know what the good stuff is. Unlike you people, that jump when the boat gets in a little wave.
The iPhone does not need that many cores, it is plain and simple. They are wasting power by having that many cores. Apparently you don't know anything about hardware.
Your right about the iPhone being the phone of last year, because thats when it was released. Duh!!
I would hardly call you a tech blogger, I'd call you a guy that copies blogs such as bgr, 9to5 and others. And I do not care if I annoy you. Your not annoying me one bit.
iPhonefreak said:
So you're saying blind people "don't know anything about technology" and "aren't allowed to not like Apple?" What a jerk comment.
iPhonefreak said:
You realise I don't even have nor use a phone right? So I'm not an Android user, if anything I'm a Microsoft user, my laptops and tablets are Microsoft OS'd. so bamm, that was a fail wasn't it?
iPhonefreak said:
There wasn't a little wave, it was basically a tsunami of Apple putting out the previous years devices.
iPhonefreak said:
Yay! You are finally making progress, since the definination of iSheep is:
iPhonefreak said:
Actually last year was the S3, that's why I said, "actually the year before". Not last year, two years ago (if that really, I feel like I'm offending other phones by calling the iPhone the best two years ago).
iPhonefreak said:
First off, I don't read BGR or 9to5, so sorry that comment was a little invalid, but it does show why you're so obsessed with Apple if you read those blogs.
Secondly, I'm sorry you feel that way. Considering last month I almost hit half a million pageviews, you obviously are either jealous that I am actually owning a successful site or are jealous about me keeping an open mind about things.
Ohh and not to mention the PR agencies are currently loving me because I'm providing them with what they say are "the most in-depth reviews they've ever seen."
Can I just get something out of the way:
I slightly prefer iOS over Android, only on user experience though. Other than it being a little buggy and always crashing my old iPad, it was good and I do reckon Android needs work on some aspects.
I prefer Android hardware compared to the iPhone. Android smartphones look and feel nice and their nice and big which is something I like. Not to mention the companies are innovating.
If I had to pick between an iOS, Android or Windows Phone device, I would personally probably picked Windows Phone and possibly Android if it was the S4 or HTC One, so I'm not an Android freak, I've just got an open mind and I can see the faults in all three of those softwares.

1) Did I ever say that? Did I ever say blind people are not allowed to like apple and know nothing? I was talking about your stupid comment about how the S4 and S3 look different while the 4S and 5 look the same.
2)Your certainly acting like you enjoy android a lot more. I have Windows computers, but I would not even come close to calling myself a microsoft user.
3)No it was not.
5)2 years ago, was the iPhone 4. That was one of Apple's best and revolutionary phones, other then the 1st one. Competition is just now catching up to technology that was brought out 2 years ago! The S3 was not last year. The iPhone was better.
6)You can not tell me you never read or used bgr or 9to5 in one of your blogs. I not jealous at all of your site, or of you keeping an open mind. And I have seen your reviews and I found much better reviews other places. Sorry.
And lastly, you must have no sense of design or hardware because android smartphones do not feel nicer, or look better. Must be blind again...<br /><br />-- Fri Jul 12, 2013 5:58 pm --<br /><br />

This is seriously like talking to a five year old and that's an insult to all five year olds.
You can go and keep loving your little iPhones and go get the next one and get brainwashed into getting the same thing over and over again while everyone else keeps an open mind and looks for the best phone on the market. I seriously do not care anymore as you're seriously a waste of my time, and I really could be doing better things than basically trying to have a debate with a brick wall. What's the point even talking to you if you're going to be so immature and so close minded. I would rather slam my head into a brick wall than talk to someone as immature as you. I don't think I've ever met someone online who is so closed minded. At least those who were fan of Apple products are being open minded, like Gamrpro.
Have fun with the next iProduct which will just be like the last one you bought while other companies continue to be years ahead.

Who cares if I am open or closed minded? It is like saying I am a bad person for being Lutheran then catholic. I will keep on loving my iPhones, and you can keep loving your crap you people like to call a smartphone. You clearly are someone that follows the herd, and not loyal. I am glad you do not care anymore, as it shows I have more intelligence then you, and mental endurance. I am not immature, as I have showed no signs of that. I am at the top of my class in maturity, and being sophisticated.Luke said:
I am glad you have never met someone as closed minded as I am, I like to be different and unique, like Apple.
Oh yeah, that years ahead quote? Apple has been ahead for 6 years and companies are just now catching up.
Have a nice day, Luke. I certainly will!
Nothing. I just wanted to tell you Apple also goes with the flow. They never realised the market share would be huge for phones with bigger screens until some other manufactures realized that and released phones with large displays.iPhonefreak said:
Whoa really dude?iPhonefreak said:
So I suppose you don't know most of these cores will be disabled when not needed?
The modern chips can use multiple cores and higher clock speeds when higher performance is called for, but will typically disable cores and lower clock speeds during light or idle use. Even iPhone will not last much if this didn't exist.
And FYI these iPhones tend to have better battery backup because of the type of the batteries. iPhones have Li-Po which is a lot costlier to manufacture and has a risk of explosion, but can have higher capacity(Same volume Li-polymer batteries’ capacity is two times of Li-ion battery.) And probably not eco friendly and causes pollution.
Li-Ion has longer life cycle, are eco friendly(SGS4 is one), causes no pollution, are light weight and a lot cheaper to manufacture but have lesser capacity. Reason for the cheaper android phones may be.
WHO CARES?iPhonefreak said:
Nobody other than your family will care to live upto your expectations, no one else, let alone android users lmao.

When it comes to hardware, I don't see anything revolutionary in that.
Can you please check this link and tell me why its a revolutionary product? The one I am comparing it with is a way cheaper smartphone from Samsung.
Its like saying, your girlfriend is the hottest and most beautiful woman in the whole world and every other men out there are blind. This obviously is not the case.

I have one thing for you all to say.
Iphonefreak fits this guys name flawlesly. There is no point in arguing with him. He is an iSheep and he bitches out anyone who calls out apple. No matter how many proofs, facts, statistics you can show him, he will still be an idi*t.
He thinks he knows everything about apple and that apple has no weakneses. Hell I'm pretty sure apple is his religion.
Just give up this pathetic debate considering he does not even try to compare in valid statements.
After 2+ yrs the features they came out are:
4G - rest of the world has it since 2 yrs
4in. screen - rest of the world has it since 2+ yrs
Dual/quad core processors - rest of the world has it since ab a yr now
Going back to your sales figures. Don't forget people buying the iOS products don't always mean they support them. A friend of mine bought the iPhone 5 thinking it was the best thing becuase of what all the iSheeps say. not even two weeks later he went and bought the Andriod after seeing how the iOS iphone does not even compare to some things.
I will give apple one thing they do really well in. MARKETING. They do their marketing very well, and can out do any company. Therefore, bringing in more sales. Not to mention, gaining more members in their "apple cult" 😛
Not to mention, Samsung is the #1 most sales now.
"According to the numbers provided by Strategy Analytics, Samsung sold smartphones worth $23.62 billion, a $952 million jump from the previous quarter. In contrast, Apple wasn't doing too bad either, but not as good as the Koreans and sold $22.95 billion worth of phones - a whopping $7.71 billion less than just one quarter ago."

No it wasnt. if you are going to compare iOS vs Andriod. you cant compare a single phone against iOS. Compare all andriods phone sales comapared to iOS sales and you will see who has the bigger numbers.
dont make me laugh. iOS has had viruses on them plenty of times and you can even go read up stories on some of the even bigger scales. Apple even had to do a recall once. don't flatter yourself. Stop trying to say unethical and false facts when you cant even back them up. And if your going to ask me to back up my statements by proving they have? I don't need to. Do a simple google search and look on your own and youl see.
End of story? No not end of story. You just prove my point right there. Apple has had them before.
You're right. it is not The iphone 5 specs:
