iPhone 5 vs iPhone 4S - First Look

Tyler Durden's picture




If this is what 0.3-0.6% of US GDP (according to JPMorgan) looks like, then the US is truly in desperate need of not only QE3, but 4, 4S and 5. Also, since it is not on the front, we can only assume the "Samsung Inside!" sticker is on the back.

Can it autofill an address list when you type an address for a search?

My SAMSUNG does that and I can read the screen a little better and it is not so damn sensitive to trigger mistakes!!!

nothing is terrifying to an Apple iPhone user... they've got the best money can buy, it works smoothly, efficiently and faultlessly and makes the other devices look like also-rans

as do their iPads, laptops and iMacs

I watched the apple rollout today and it made me feel soooo much better about my NOK stock. Windows 8 phone blows the apple out of the water technically (seriously) , now if we can just overcome the apple histeria.

Apple just blew it.

Nokia are 2 years ahead with their Lumias. The list of technical superiorities is embarassingly long (wireless charging and pureview cameras just to start), the design is far better, the user interface is better, faster to use than the competition. I don't particularly like MSFT, as a long time Linux user but on the Lumias the OS works very well.

Even the latest Samsungs don't stack up.

 

(oh yeah also long NOK)

Perhaps the most amusing part of the Apple ethos are the rather generic promotional videos. All have similar keywords and phrases:

"It's revolutionary... blah blah... It's the best thing we've ever done... blah blah... This manufacturing process is unique in the industry... blah blah... It's thinner and lighter..."

I like how Apple always thinks about the people using it, unlike the other brands who just want to show off with 'better specs'. For example: they kept the width the same so you can type with one hand just like on older models. It looks great as always. But I'm happy with my 3GS even though I could buy the new one. I rather buy more silver and gold instead.

That's the reason why we have a situation of 1% vs 99%.. Mindless serf keep on getting poorer and more brainwashed by getting themselves scuked into these matrix via all these 3C devices! When I was young, I read science fiction story that said the end of human civilization will happen when the robot rise. Now I begin to think the human civilization will end when they get sucked into gigantic matrix and become part of machines, the robot won't even need to fire a single laser gun.

"An iPhone 5 back-plate run through in front of me almost every 3 seconds. I have to pickup the back-plate and marked 4 position points using the oil-based paint pen and put it back on the running belt swiftly within 3 seconds with no errors. After such repeat action for several hours, I have terrible neckache and muscle pain on my arm. A new worker who sat opposite of me gone exhausted and laid down for a short while. The supervisor has noticed him and punished him by asking him to stand at one corner for 10 minutes like the old school days. We worked non-stop from midnight to the next morning 6 am but were still asked to keep on working as the production line is based on running belt and no one is allowed to stop. I'm so starving and fully exhausted."

"When I walked into the production floor after passing through the metal detector door, I heard loud sounds of machinery engines and a very dense of plastic smell. Our supervisor warned us: 'Once you sit down, you only do what you are told.' The supervisor finally present us the back of the iPhone 5 and shows it to all of us and said: 'This is the new unleashed iPhone 5 back plate, you should be honored having the chance to produce it.'

I gave it 5 stars  to match the number. But I cannot even come up with anything as funny as the stuff written here. This must be where farce meets tragedy.
