No HD display, no NFC and OS that is showing it's age... truly ahead of competition.

Retina display is HD....

iOS 6 is released today...so it's not old by any means...lol?

It's not HD based on the official classification. It has a very high pixel density though so it doesn't matter much

But yeah, I think price should be talked more about in reviews. This phone is way more expensive than alternatives from other manufacturers.

Such as...?

Galaxy S3...

I guess it just depends on where you live. I just checked out the AT&T page and guess what iPhone 5 starts at $199 and the Galaxy S3 is $199. Wow, so much more expensive! Oh, wait...

I just checked at two carriers in Japan. One has the GS3 and the other has the iPhone 5. The iPhone 5 is free (16gb), 10,320 yen (32gb) or 20,640 yen (64gb) with contract. If you want the GS3 it costs 19,110 yen with contract. Hmmm....
