And yet you don't know if the Lumia is better? seriously... the only thing we know is the aluminum design which once again looks very good and that the display is larger... it might have killer specs...
Apple will come up with a good product once again. but I doubt it will be revolutionary, maybe in terms of specs vs size, who knows, it's too soon to know.Can't we just wait until Wednesday and see if the iPhone 5 is just a rehash or revolutionary again?
Here's the reality of the iPhone 5 announcement based on rumors leaked:
3) NFC is looking like a possibility*, so that'll be a catch-up feature, even though they'll claim how simple and magical it is (well duh, you tap and TADA, something happens). People will fall in love with this one, even though it's the same as everyone else. This will be the new Siri.
This is actually a very good comment haha, but I expect to iPhone 5 to have the WOW factor like it's predecessors, Apple is very good at raising the bar, they made retina displays, now the competition do better, they always raise the bar a little bit more.The iPhone will do fine. It will be less "magical" than previous versions, but they'll still blow everyone else away in sales.
I don't believe that there will be a big "Aha!" moment for WP in general. It will have slow, but solid growth. As people are disenchanted with iOS or Android, and get uses to seeing Windows8, they'll be more willing to take a look at WP. And of those that take a look, a decent enough will decide that they like what they see.
No need to "LOL" at Apple for WP to grow.
There might be killer features, a good thing about Apple is the element of surprise and even if there is some leaks before every Apple events, there is always something cool that get's you excited in a way. I don't buy the iPhones but they push other companies to do better.Launch day there will be lineups outside Apple stores all over. Just like there was for the release of the 4 and 4S - that much is certain. Will the lineups be as long as they were in the past? I thinking they may not be - the buzz is not as loud as it has been.
The real test will be the comments that follow in the week after. There doesn't seem to a killer feature this time around.
Having said that, I don't think that people will trade their newly purchased 5's for a WP8 device. Look around holiday time to see trends emerging if they will.
I think at this point no one will laugh at iphone5 as much as they will with WP8. It already seems to be considered a fial OS. Was looking forward to the new phones but will be looking at another OS.
The iPhone 5 will still sell ridiculous amounts, but more and more people are getting 'bored' of iOS in general as Apple tends to make very small amounts of progress on the OS itself with each release. Now even the hardware is getting stale and people are taking notice.
Its a process, but I see more people looking to move from the iPhone this year than any prior year, and many of those are truly looking at WP8 since its bringing such a large amount of new features and hardware support. Plus the great designs and photography enhancements from Nokia ect.
The next 1-2 years you will see an overall slowing and eventual decline of interest in the iPhone as WP moves upward in both consumer & enterprise markets.
You better be earning money for this, because it's embarrassing.It already seems to be considered a fial OS.

lolwut. iphone has always been 6-12 months behind on technology. Why would that change now? omg 4" screen. Honestly, if 4" is all your going to do you might as well keep it at 3.6.Anyone who thinks the iPhone won't be better than everything on wp8 on spec is fooling themselves.
The 920 may well end up with a better camera, but the economies of scale mean the iPhone 5 will be an awesome piece of hardware, and probably better spec than anything on android too, at least at the moment.
The interesting bit will be what apple have in store software wise. Especially with microsofts whole Eco system changes.
Nope. It will probably sell more than the iPhone 4S easily.Even my friends and friend's friends are all in turmoil.
People don't know if iPhone 5 will be anything as radical as before. Siri did create some interest but died as soon as it was born. And later on becoming nothing but butt of all YouTube jokes.
And with pretty much the whole iPhone leaked in bits and pieces across the net, will it really attract all those non-apple fanboys?
I'm sure the iPhone forums are buzzing just like the MS ones, but in spite of all that, will iPhone 5 really live up to its hype?
Or that will be the time people realize,"Hey Lumia 920 is better..."
Plz bear in mind, I'm talking about new potential buyers and NOT fanboys (they will even buy anything Apple has its logo on).
