Surprised the iPhone 5 was number 1. Considering its about the same thing as the 4s which was about the same thing as the 4 which was the same thing as... You can get the rest. Apple has not made much of any progress in their phones since the 1st iphone. They always just release something for the sake of releasing something and people seem to just eat it up... Quite sad really as there are much better alternatives to every single one of their products.

I guess you haven't even touched or played with an iphone if you think that..

iphone 3gs was a major up from iphone / 3g and iphone 4 was a major overhaul for iphone as well

iphone 5 was a pretty big improvement too.. just not as big as the first two

Actually ive owned just about every model of the iphone... I get them for free from work. So please dont lecture me. Infact i have an Iphone 5 64 GB that i got almost on Launch Day. The first iphone was revolutionary. But thats it. Every single iphone has always lacked features that all the other smart phones at their time had. THe original lacked 3g functionality, the 4 and 4s lacked 4g... ETC ETC. Apple has ALWAYS been overpriced, Late to the game, and underpowered. THe only reason they sell so well is the fact that they are the "must have products" the products that all the Cool kids have. No company in the world has more diehard fanboys than Apple. They will buy everything and anything that carries the apple insignia.

 

Personally I have used mos and Hate just about all of apples overpriced POS. The one thing I will give them is their good build quality. 

The 4s has 4G/HSPA plus

apple is overpriced.. but in comparison to how companies selling their droids sell their phones like samsung.. they aren't over priced at all..

and I wonder why apple products are must have products? I mean there must be a reason why ios is so much more popular than any other mobile operating system for cell phones..

and iphone 5 is no way in hell under powered.. check your research and don't bring in the dual vs quad core processor ordeal, iphone 5 is one of the fastest phones I have used

Great the iphone 5 has 4g/HPSA plus too bad its only a year later than any of the other heavy weights... And how is samsung overpriced? Last I saw they had phones in every prce range and the heavy weighters that cost the same as an iphone 5 cram alot more features and tech for the same price? And the android operating system is alot more popular than iOS dont kid yourself...

And yes the iphone 5 is pretty snazzy and fast thats for sure. However I still think the puny 4 inch screen sucks. Anyways To each their own. You like apple products then good for you. Im not trying to start a flame war here im just stating that the Iphone 5 didnt really bring anything new to the table that hasnt been on other smart phones for atleast a year or more now. Apple is still playing and probably always will play catch up in the technology department. Obviously technology does not translate into the absolte best product. But at the price point that apple charges I would wish that they would give consumers a bit more "firepower" under the hood of every single one of their products.
