iPhone 5 review is incomplete unless

It is compared with the one of the most advanced smartphone on the planet today... Samsung Galaxy S4. See this interesting comparison at http://www.brandcollage.com/faceoff/apple-iphone5-
vs-samsung-galaxy-s4/

iOS

iOS is obsolete. The iPhone 5 is a sad pig, a formerly great superstar that is old and dodgy and should retire - iPhone 5 has a bum leg and Alzheimers. Pathetic with all the money APPL has they cant even compete or innovate.
