Like what, the truth? The actual technology inside the iPhone 5 is more advanced overall than any Android phone out there. Only raw-spec hounds cannot understand that.
The technology to get the best performance on the market in the lightest and thinnest form factor is more advanced than any raw horsepower based technology.
I asked a specific question: what technological advancements SHOULD Apple have included in the iPhone 5 that would have made it worthy in your opinion? Since you ignore the real technological advancements.
Enjoy your iPhone 5 and all the marketing hype that surrounds it.
Marketing hype does nothing for me. Usable performance and well engineered, technologically advanced stuff does, however.
The facts are, it is technologically superior. If you donāt think so, please provide counter examples or counter-proof.
Especially the parts where they make it seem like theyāve pioneered something that was previously unheard of. Like that display you mentioned thatās so much thinner that Apple pioneered? Yeah, there are a few Android phones that have had that for a while now.
Really? While it could be true, name one Android phone using single layer in-cell LCD screens (second layer being bonded to the glass)?
AMOLED screens on Android phones do something similar, embedding the capacitive touch layer in the display layer. But, for example, Samsungās own flagship phone the GIII has a far inferior screen in terms of color fidelity and correctness.
We are talking about LCD in-cell technology use with a screen that performs any where near the iPhone 5 screen in color fidelity, gamut, and correctness.
In fact, my previous Evo 4G had that and my newer Evo LTE has an even better version. It uses two layers instead of three to decrease the thickness and thereby allowing for a thinner form factor overall.
Nothing I have found, including on HTCās website, nor in any review, mentions the EVO 4G/LTE using LCD in-cell screen technology.
Apple did that though with this all new iPhone 5ā¦ right? Apple developed that? Mhmm, sure.
I did not say Apple developed it (alone). Apple worked with LCD manufacturers to introduce it in smart screen sized panels (in-cell display panels shown a year earlier were 7" diagonal around 1280x600 screens) in a mass market smartphone.
Like HTC developed ANY of its HW technologiesā¦ It basically just packages other peopleās chips together. At least Samsung develops some of its own technologies.
I could go on but I can tell already that you have drank the Koolaid so it wouldnāt matter what I told you.
I have not drunk any kool-aid. I understand technology, and see where true technological advancements are made in making things faster, lighter, and use less energy, not in having the biggest V8 on the planet. And as a SW engineer, I also look at the innards, and the iPhone has much more efficient SW compared (mach kernel and compiled C/ObjC) to the bloated Linux and faux-Java innards of the Android phones.
There is no use in having a conversation with a spec hound who thinks that spec-lists show better equipment. Spec-lists mean nothing. Actual usable performance means a lot more than some check-off list of specs.
Only a true Apple fanboi can take turn what I said into some sort of reason to get all defensive and turn on attack mode.
True Apple fanboi? Dude, the fanboi moniker is best applied to someone who posted what you did, trying to make claims that donāt make sense but what you adhere to none-the-less. The true fanboi appellation belongs to someone who makes general comments about Android phones technological superiority based on some sort of spec-list and ignores real technological achievement. Someone who thinks that the only reason people use iPhone is because of some magical marketing department and really potent kool-aid when the truth is just the opposite. Most of the people I know who use iPhones do it because of overall general usability, cleanness of design, and overall usefulness. Most Android fanbois are left drooling over their spec lists without realizing that the reason Android phones have such big batteries, such big V8 iron under the hood is that they need it to try and perform up to par with others like the iPhone who are much more efficient.
Android has nice features and there are definitely some people better served by an Android phone. But not because of better specs, because when it comes to the specs that matter ā usable performance ā Android phones are playing catch-up most of the time. I donāt care if your phone has a quad core 200000ghz XYZ processor. If does not perform better than a competitor phone using a 1.3ghz dual core processor, that extra ghz is just a waste.
