Apple iPhone 5 disappointment

100%. A photo icon that is in fact a slideshow of your camera roll, a facebook icon that is in fact your current facebook profile pic, a camera icon that displays a live feed of what your camera currently see's, a map icon that displays your current location. All these would be incredibly simple to implement. Yes, they might suck resources (battery, ram and cpu) so include the option to switch live icons off.

Try Windows Phone for some of these 'features', maybe you would like it
 
How would you know I don't have greater achievements then creating two small pieces of coding called apps.The reality is you don't know me so you wouldn't.

I get that you are a developer so you now want to worship this dude for creating two apps and he is an isheep to boot lol anybody with half a brain cell can see that your inflating your idol here.



Yeah he is proof that even if you seem relatively intelligent and made two successful apps you can still be a delusional fanboy,then again JStrike can fit the same bill so it makes perfect sense why he loves that dude so much its like looking in a mirror for him oh AND JStrike is a dev.........;)

He didn't just create 2 apps. He created frikken Tumblr! The blog used by Obama. Tell us your achievements again?
 
The S3 was launched in SA 6 months ago so you are hardly comparing apples with apples
I dont recall the iphone 4s dropping price 6 months after its launch,Apple still continued to make high profits of it.

Personally I buy my tech from carriers or official stores because that is the best barometer of pricing and I'm yet to see any store offer the S3 for less than R7500.

CaCell and the like are in a bidding war with each other so it doesn't surprise me that they would offer it that cheap. You also have to consider middle man greed when it comes to Apple products due to the supposed exclusivity factor and therefore you're unlikely to see CaCell sell an iPhone for that much.

What unofficial about cacell,all their products carry local warranties etc a few of my friends have bought from them and were very happy with the service also.So all other things equal in a free market price will dictate where you buy from.

Lol five pages later and you still rise again with your trolling,JStrike we get that you a dev and worship this guy because he is blinded by fanboyism but sorry we don't love him that much or think he is that great now get over it.

He created an app lol theres a whole world out there you seriously need to get out more,your behaving like the dude is Einstein or something and yet even Einstein isn't above criticism.

You need to see a shrink about your obsessions.I'm serious you have issues if you believe someone is beyond criticism just because he has one or two achievements in life.
 
Agreed. But at the very least a photo icon that mirrors your lockscreen or wallpaper. Just something to give it a unique feel. Where's the live clock??!!! I mean basic stuff. How awesome would a camera icon be that reflects the cameras current live feed?

I tend to agree with you, but I doubt it will happen, and here's why.

Apple values battery life and responsiveness above all else.
And they correctly believe that people will make stupid decisions if given the options, and Apple will take the blame.
So, just like didn't allow Flash, because people will turn it on, and then blame Apple when their battery life falls. Even though there might be a warning, the result will be Apple taking the blame.
So they will just not include that functionality.

Sure, that might not be everyone's cup of tea. But at least I know that my battery life is excellent, and the phone is responsive

No. I think he has far more valuable opinions than you due to his achievements. Do his achievements rival Eisntein? No, of course not. But they don't need be to overshadow you. He can be criticized, as long as it is reasoned and rational. His achievements deserve that.
Your insults were petty and personal, calling him an iSheep and stupid.

Go away Troll

Shame we insulted your guru because he is an isheep. LMAO poor JStrike.

One thing I gotta say I admire the way isheep stand up for each other well done ;)

HAHAHA...that made my day...

As long as you can stoop to lower tactics than your opponents, you'll always win.

Yep, just ad hominem attacks.
Go be with your anti-Apple herd in an Android thread Troll

Hmm...another person who has problems with comprehension. No, Obama might or might not be cool. Personally I don't like him.
However, if POTUS (The position, not person) uses your platform for his blog, it is an achievement.
Denying that make you look as childish as our resident troll
 
It is very interesting.
Archtechnica introduced a policy of banning people who trolled unrelated threads, in an attempt to get back on topic.
MyBB gives them free reign due to the page impressions it brings.

I also notice the difference in respect that the two publication have....
I wonder if there is a correlation

Actually I'm not really pro android,I'm pro tech and unlike you I have no uncontrollable bias.

I know its hard for people like you to comprehend just because I'm not an isheep doesn't mean i don't like Apple products.I actually do like em a lot especially my iphone 4s, which I have still kept even though I now use an s3 as my main phone.

Some of us can still think rationally.Thats why I'm serious about you needing to see a shrink.

I know you think that makes you exempt from criticism, but your primary form of debate is still point-and-laugh ad hominems so it doesn't make much difference how you consider yourself.

Yeah strange that they haven't banned you yet,rabid fanboys are really annoying and troll worse then anyone else.

Maybe you should stick to "Cult of Mac" or your support group.

I am certainly not above criticism,thats exactly my point nobody is perfect.

Take cars for example there I'm not impartial and love Audi's even though I drive a BMW.I only bought a BMW because for the price I paid the Audi I would've got would not have been better.Am I an Audi fan? yeah go ahead and point that finger at me I'll openly admit it but at the end of the day I'll still take whats most rational over being a brand snob.
