Huge difference is way over doing it.

Taller screen, LTE (if you have it in your carrier), faster WiFi, and... what else? The general performance shouldn't be really noticeable and the software is the same. There is no other differences that I can think of. To me, those couple things are definitely not worh $100 let alone £100.

My 4S friends are sticking with their phones until next revision at this point. My couple 4 friends are upgrading as the camera and performace changes are actually noticeable and you get Siri.

Not sure on Galaxy S3's total, but I know just a month or so ago it was the king of US, surpassing the iPhone in total userbase. Meaning that iPhone5 would not only have to sell to 100% of Apples current base, but also get a lot of Android/S3 users to switch (highly unlikely). Meaning that not only is iOS not even close to Android in marketshare, but as a single phone, iPhone is no longer king. Just ties into the other thread where I was talking about the lack of innovation in iOS6. It seems like Apple is starting to just become a player vs a leader/innovator. I want innovation because I want to see the market continue to exponentially grow!

Your entire 4th paragraph is fud 

What's fud?

Google the news. Just a few weeks ago, up to a month maybe, S3 was shown to be top seller in US. So it will take a lot of new 5's (not just resell to current base) to beat that. (http://www.techgadgetsweb.com/10687/samsung-galaxy-s3-top-selling-mobile-iphone-5-beat-it) Just one article talking about the, then old, news. Hell, I'm even sure there was a VGC thread about it.

Top seller for August and probably September? Before that it was 4S for 10 months in a row (since October 2011), and that's for the US alone. I don't think the numbers compare worldwide.

Let's see how many i5s Apple are gonna sell in the upcoming months.
