Very high quality hardware, Super fast performance, Latest and greatest apps and services, Good point and shoot camera replacement, Useful fingerprint scanner
The smaller display bothers me a bit, but Apple's hardware is stunning and the tradeoff for apps and functionality is worth it to me. If the iPhone 5s had a 4.3 to 4.7 display, an IR port for remote control capability, and Qi wireless charging then I woul
The iPhone 5s looks like last year's iPhone 5 and even works with most all of those accessories. However, the improved internal processor, Touch ID implementation, and improvements to the camera make it a device to consider even if you already have an iPh...
Abstract: Even though Samsung is usually seen as Apple's biggest rival on the mobile scene, it's probably Google we should really be looking at if we think about the 'iPhone versus Android' conflict in a deeper aspect. It's true that in terms of hardware, Google...
