Some people might’ve been pondering over the inclusion of iOS as an exclusive feature but then again, the ecosystem and experience it provides is pretty much unmatched elsewhere (despite getting surpassed by Google Play recently).

Except for the 4 inch display, most of the things are changed, maybe not so in the naming department but certainly under the hood.

Also the Touch ID is quite an interesting addition which will certainly help in the popularizing of the technology. If you think that these additions make your life easier then you should go ahead and stand in the long queue, but if not, then the list of competitors isn’t short either.


  • Regardless of all those fandroids’ bashing of iPhone, it will still sell like hot cakes, and it will always stand unique among all those LGs, Galaxies and what not.

  • are you kidding me? look at the specs. its the worst phone on the list you showed in your article. And finger print sensor is 5 years old

  • don’t get exited about the touch id (if i am not wrong its about the thumb print authentication?) the data stored, the finger prints can be used for spying on the iphone 5s proud owners. yes no privacy for youuu haha , its amazing that NSA surveillance made a lot of buzz but no single word uttered in such regard by the representatives of Apple.

  • Actually the Real competition iPhone has is from the Nexus devices…. all other customized cheapDroids tend to fade away quite early in a smartphone user life…. :D

  • Does anyone know why Iphone weights much lighter than most other competitive smartphones?
