Money is not the problem, just need few opinions, which will motivate me to buy it.
Anyone got one? Opinions? Cons/Pros ?
Appreciate it.

While majority of users will advice you against iPhone, I'd say go for it if money really is not an issue. I'm considering getting iPhone 5 myself because of the design. Other devices of the same quality range are much bigger/ uglier and one of the things I want from my phone is to be as small as possible. I would not, ever, buy a 5" device since it's just too freaking huge (and yes I got small hands..). On the other hand Android beats iOS in most cases and for same price as iPhone 5 you could get twice more powerful Android device. iPhone 5 is rather outdated now but in terms of design it is definitely my favorite (by far).
Yeh, I am not looking for a big or powerful phone. I had iPhone for nearly 2 years now, and I love it. I love the feel and simplicity to it. I wouldn't mind extra features like Siri, Panorama, Bigger screen, etc. I think it will benefit me. I am not an Apple fan or Appleholic, and I have nothing against Android, still got HTC Desire HD lying on a shelf. I just love the design and specific feel to iPhone.
Which phone have you got right now?
I've used iPhone 3GS until I dropped it in toilet in November (2012) and now I'm using low end HTC Desire C. Since it really does suck I'm looking to upgrade within a month or so.
I have an Iphone 4 and haven't seen enough reason to upgrade yet...most features aren't big enough "sellers" for me yet...Siri can be replaced with the new Google search app that has voice recognition....
I plan on upgrading when they release a totally redesigned Iphone....a major upgrade.
Personally I would just wait on the next/more advanced iPhone, I got an iPhone 4s my brother has a 5 all I can really see is just its thinner and got really basic advancements. Nothing majorly needed.
So I would stick with my iPhone 4s before thinking of upgrading.
Hell no, iphones suck, no offence
Id go for Sony Xperia Z
The battery used on the iphone 5 seems to be the same one as the iphone 3gs, which exploded inside EliteGM's pockets as you can see in the picture he posted in his thread:
If you think this is an anomaly then fair enough, just make sure your aggressive environment allows your iphone to work under the only conditions legally accepted by apple:
Operating ambient temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
Nonoperating temperature: −4° to 113° F (−20° to 45° C)
Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet (3000 m)
Thats when insurance comes in ;)
Yeah I think iPhone 5 is good but it seems to have a lot of problems, I, myself is using the iPhone 4s and I just love Siri and most business companies are using iPhone 4s too instead of the iPhone 5...
if your willing to wait, wait for the iPhone 5s?
While "uglier" is a matter of opinion, the whole size issue makes no sense. If you don't want a large phone, then don't buy it. Just because the SGSIII is popular, doesn't mean you need to buy it.Originally Posted by SSD
Why does Android beat iOS in most cases? Just depends what you are looking for, if you look at apps then it's a tie, from what I understand iOS has some more games while Android has more apps to customize and control other devices etc, Android has the open nature with all it's advantages and disadvantages, while iOS has the opposite with of course also all it's advantages and disadvantages.
As for power, that's simply not true, I have no clue how you think high end Android devices are twice as powerful. Besides power isn't everything, a truck has more power then a Ferrari, but guess who's faster?
That said, I'm not fan of iOS or Android. I use Windows Phone myself. But hey to each their own. In the end if you really like the iPhone 5, then get it, you know it costs a lot, it's upto you to decide if you think it's worth it.
iphone 5s and 6 on there way dont worry :P
That's probably the most kind reply I've ever heard from you towards me. I appreciate that. I've never held Windows Phone in my hands in my entire life, I guess I'd need to head off to youtube and check some of them out. Which brand/model have you got?
Yeah, I heard about 5s somewhere on the net. I don't want to make the same mistake twice. Without knowing, I bought iPhone 4, about 3-4 weeks before iPhone 4S was released. I wish I would of waited got got 4S. If I'd be with 4S now, I wouldn't need an upgrade. But yeah, since I already rushed and bought 4 instead of 4S, I dont want to step on the same rake twice. I will wait a few months, if they will release or leak some sort of information about the next phone.
Right now I got the Samsung Omnia 7, but it's 2 years old, I'm currently waiting for my Nokia Lumia 920.
Depending on your carrier...you could have traded it in for the newer one...
I got the 3GS 1 month before the 4 released...I went back to AT&T paid a $25 restocking fee...and got the 4 for nothing...
For future reference :)
In my preference, I've always gone with an Android phone rather than one with Apple's OS. In the iPhone 5, not much really changed from the predecessor iPhone 4S. I've also read mixed reviews online and from friends and family, all who have owned the iPhone 5 say that it's been good, but that's a small majority of the millions who own it. My mum, owner of an iPhone 5 says that it's brilliant, but then again she is getting old now.
If you want to spend more money on an iPhone 5 then go ahead, but there's not much that differentiate between the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 5.
Just my thoughts.
No, get an Android.
Should I get iPhone 5?
No. Such a shit phone...
Ive got a 3GS Myself.
I know the battery is going to blow soon, Lines are starting to appear on the screen and it lasts for ten minutes before dying.
The phone is FIVE YEARS old. Its lasted a long time and I like it.
Even though i'd like a Windows Phone, Because im a windows guy better. Id go with iPhone 5 Over a Android anyday.
And what changes about Android? The only difference is that you get different launchers. If you look at Android and if you look at Windows Mobile and Symbian, how different is it really from those 2? Android replaces those 2 and continued to build as a open source project, but the basics, the ideas behind it, are just standard.
If there would have to be something new, then it would be Windows Phone, now many of it's concepts are extremely old as well, but at least it has some new ideas etc, Android lacks that.
This is not trying to rip on Android, it does what it needs to do and it does it well. But arguing that not much changes about the iPhone and then recommending Android, just doesn't make much sense to me.
You people overexaggerate the Android OS. Im not saying at all that the IOS is better, But seriously? such replies as No, shit phone are just stupid.
Anyway, I owned a 3GS just untill a few months ago, it ran fine.
ofcourse if you compare it with my current iphone[4] its hella slow and im also used to it now, but it wasnt that bad.
its really hot here, sometimes more then 35C' and my battery never exploded.[was redirected at the battery thing]
if that would happen i wouldnt have gone back to using any of Apple's products.
iphone 5 isnt much diffrent then the 4S, dont get it unless youre in for a lighter, thinner design which has a barely extended screen. i would wait for the 5s/6 whichever comes.

I've had my Iphone 4 since release date...outside of the cracked screen and backglass...even in the Defender series Otterbox...it works just like it did the day I bought it.
Battery lasts all day...half day under gaming and movie watching...doesn't get hot too much..in extreme temps the screen dims due to heat...but it still works.
I would say...if you want dependability and the best user friendly interface...the Iphone is the best option.
I mean a 70 year old woman came into my job today and had an Iphone 5 and knew how to use it....now thats user friendly....
Yeah, very true. I had my iPhone 4 for nearly 2 years now. Nothing wrong with it, battery is fine, screen is fine, we dont get heat more than +35° C. But I think its good to update phones once per few years, isn't it?
Get A Samsung Galaxy S3 or wait a few weeks and get a Samsung Galaxy S4!!!!
Get an android. iPhone is overhyped
