You should make a list of what's important to you on a cell phone. 1) maps 2) hip 3) apps 4) battery life I used the iPhone 3G for 4 years. 4 Freaken long years because I didn't like the iPhone 3GS, 4, & 4S. I didn't like the Android phones at the time too. If you can hold out a bit longer, I would say get the next version of Samsung Galaxy. I think the S3 set the trend of what people want in a smartphone today. Thus, next year, a lot of companies will be copying Samsung's added functionality.
Hi. Prior to getting this phone, I had the iPhone 3G for 4 years. Out of the 4 years, the first 2 was under contract. For years 3 & 4, I still get AT&T service. The only difference is that I am no longer locked into a contract. I still pay the same amount every month and I have the same service. Same SMS, same minutes, same data.
I really like Android and I would love to get the Galaxy S3, but I know after about a half year, those phones start slowing down massively. Which makes me wonder if getting an iPhone would be better. Even though it feels like a huge downgrade, I wonder if it would be worth it just to have a smartphone that still runs smoothly after a year. I like all of the customization available with the Samsung products. But the slowness of them just drives me crazy. Should I give up all of my customization?
I'm getting an iPhone 5, Friday. I'm super excited about it! I'll be my first phone, that I've had from the US. (I'm from Italy but moved to the US not too long ago.)
These have Lithium ion batteries. Just charging it to 100% is good. You may be thinking about the Nickel Metal batteries. Those are the ones that have memory and need to be conditioned. Cell phones all use Lithium ion now. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.
You have a sharp eye. I didn't notice that until last week. I've sent the iPhone 5 back to Apple last week and they still haven't sent me back the replacement. Turned out a lot of iPhone 5 got defects and Apple ran out of the replacement iPhone 5. AppleCare said they won't be able to send mine back for at least another week.
My older iPhone 3G slowed down because of the new firmware. But, the bigger problem with my older iPhone is that it's now 5 years old and the battery last only 10 hours on standby. I can't just open it and change the battery.
I didn't get the 3GS because it was only a speed upgrade from 3G and I wanted to wait for 4. When 4 game out, I was all excited until I found out that I can't hold it without dropping cell. I figured I wait for 4S but when 4S came out, I wasn't impressed with the improvements so opted to wait for the 5. When 5 was announced, I didn't care if it sucked or not. I couldn't stand the 3G anymore.
How did tou manage survive 4 years with the iphone 3g now i have the 4s and i think its rubish ever since the iphone 5 got released a few months ago and im dying to get it! Did you have the same feeling when when the 3gs, 4th and the 4s came out? also it probably feels great to get all cool, new features that were never on the 3g model, because 4 years is a long time and alot has changed since the iphone 3g!
The front LCD panel wasn't seated properly. One of the corners was sticking out. The replacement Apple sent me was a week late. I kept calling Apple asking about it because according to tracking, it's 5 miles from my home. Apple called FedEx and FedEx told them they aren't going to deliver it because they crushed the package. That's why #2 went back to Apple. #3 also went back to Apple because they sent me the wrong iPhone. #4 was the right one.
Hi. I'm not sure I follow. A iPhone 5 that's 16 gb has a capacity of 16gb. Let's say I don't put any apps on it and only put music. Minus the firmware, I can put roughly 380 4mb music files. Of course, people buy the iPhone 5 for mobile apps so once you factor those in the number of music files it can hold will go down.
Yeah that's also why I really like the S3 because I can just buy 2 or 3 spare batteries, charge em up, and switch them out whenever I need to. But my brother got the S3 in about March, and already I can see that it's really glitchy and slow. But the fact that your phone is 5 YEARS OLD is just amazing!
I got my 4th iPhone 5 today. FINALLY! They fixed the front panel that was sticking out. It took Apple 3 weeks. Damn...I still had to pay AT&T for those 3 weeks even thought they sent me 3 bad products.
Hello everyone.I have samsung galaxy s3 and im starting to think of buying a new phone and iphone 5 is my first choice.But i was wondering is it worth buying it now or should i wait for the new iphone 5s?
Good eye. I didn't notice that until a few days later. If you saw any of my follow-up iPhone 5 videos, I described how much it was a hassle to get Apple to address it.
hi , excellent video , but please can u do one for the iphone 4 ??? .... i know that its old but i want one like this ( Apple iPhone 4 Unboxing, Setup, & Review ) Thanks and keep it up !!!! :D
dude i will buy i smartphone in the month of march(iPhone 5,HTC ONE X +,samsung galaxy s3)please tell me which one should i buy or should i wait for iPhone 5S to come
Really nice review man! I don't have a high resolution camera so I have to record all my videos on my phone... my point is that I'm liking and adding to my favorites.
Not necessarily. Where I live, some providers are still selling the 5 along with the 5c and 5s. The 64GB 5 is still 100 dollars cheaper than the 16GB 5s
Gotcha. Because it's February, I would say if you can wait then skip the iPhone 5. I checked out my friend's Samsung Galaxy S3 and it's a good phone too. But, both the iPhone 5 and S3 have been out for a few months. Might as well wait for the next model. I use to think Samsung phones were crap until the S3. Now that Samsung got a working model, I am curious how the S4 will turn out. So best not to lock yourself into a 2 year contract now.
sir im wondering for first time setup if we dont have any available wifi signal in our area, still we can proceed to setup ? without any wifi selection? sorry for my english :)
Raymund Balagapo Hi. I think you need Wifi or an active SIM card to activate the phone. When I got a replacement phone, they activated it over the air.
If your case will cover the back of the phone, I think any will work for you. For me, I use a clear case. So I go the white iPhone because it's distinct and people can easily see that I am using the iPhone.
I've always purchased mine from the Apple store, not AT&T store. At the Apple store, I just need cash or credit card. When I'm home and trying to activate it, that's when it verifies my identity.
You know my pain! Gad to hear someone else remembers the 3G. If you read some of the comments below, people doubled the 3G came in white and insisted it was 3GS.
Wait, August? But the next iPhone will most likely come out in October. I would just wait until October to get the new one or buy the iPhone 5 at $100 less.
When it's not part of a contract, you can take the phone and go to any cell phone carrier. Basically, you can shop around for the best rate and service.
Okay,I have a dum question.How much do you pay a month.And if you get a AT&T LTE do you have to go to a AT&T company or store to pay a month or you can go to any.Please respong even tho im sure you wont get it or you will think this question is dum :/ But please can you
When he was talking about apple's version of RUclips at about 10:00 the reason they took it off the 4 was because 1. They were having problems with it, 2. When the iOS 6 came out it was taken away and last RUclips came out with its own app instead of apple's old version
The licence that requires Apple to include the RUclips app that has stood sonar the original iPhone has expired and as Google and Apple are at each others throats Apple decided to remove Maps as well as RUclips which is owned by Goohgle! They have released an official RUclips app on the AppStore though!
After using the iPhone 5 for 6 months, I am already looking forward to my next cell phone. The call quality is very poor. I know it's not the service provider because my family uses the same carrier and none of their voices sound like they're underwater.
You should make a list of what's important to you on a cell phone.
1) maps
2) hip

I'm super excited about it! I'll be my first phone, that I've had from the US.
(I'm from Italy but moved to the US not too long ago.)
LifeProof. Out of all the cases I have reviewed, I really like this product. If you use the speakerphone a lot, then LifeProof isn't a good choice.
These have Lithium ion batteries. Just charging it to 100% is good. You may be thinking about the Nickel Metal batteries. Those are the ones that have memory and need to be conditioned. Cell phones all use Lithium ion now.

I ordered the 5S. Just don't know when Apple will ship it. The ETA just says October.
I'm shopping for an android phone. But don't think i'll get the GS4. There's so many variations of it. Right now, I'm leaning to the GS4 Active.
My older iPhone 3G slowed down because of the new firmware. But, the bigger problem with my older iPhone is that it's now 5 years old and the battery last only 10 hours on standby. I can't just open it and change the battery.
I guess the stickers are just for anything you want to decorate. I've got a bunch of them and haven't used one yet.
I didn't get the 3GS because it was only a speed upgrade from 3G and I wanted to wait for 4. When 4 game out, I was all excited until I found out that I can't hold it without dropping cell.

also it probably feels great to get all cool, new features that were never on the 3g model, because 4 years is a long time and alot has changed since the iphone 3g!
I have a white iPhone 4S right now, but when I upgrade to what ever iPhone is available next year, should I stick with white or get black?
i was going to get the iphone 5 within the next week or so from rogers too. do they have any available or do i have to order it??
The front LCD panel wasn't seated properly. One of the corners was sticking out. The replacement Apple sent me was a week late.

Am very very confused that which phone and which colour I would buy???
You may please help me out.
And sorry for my English
For ur personal opinion witch do u think is bettrr white or black (in colour)

Hmmmm how about if you get the 2 year contract for AT&T.Lets say that the 2 years pass by what do you do to get the AT&T LTE agian.Please respond
Yeah that's also why I really like the S3 because I can just buy 2 or 3 spare batteries, charge em up, and switch them out whenever I need to.

Where I live some carriers are still selling the 5 along with the 5c and 5s
Hello everyone.I have samsung galaxy s3 and im starting to think of buying a new phone and iphone 5 is my first choice.But i was wondering is it worth buying it now or should i wait for the new iphone 5s?
I hope to get this phone, even though I'd be coming from the Galaxy Nexus do you think I will still enjoy it? This would be my first Apple product.
Does iphone 5 screen is resistant to scratches? Tell me from personal usage experience!
thanks :)
Good eye. I didn't notice that until a few days later. If you saw any of my follow-up iPhone 5 videos, I described how much it was a hassle to get Apple to address it.
Should I get the iPhone 5 as my first phone or the Samsung Galaxy SIII
hi , excellent video , but please can u do one for the iphone 4 ??? .... i know that its old but i want one like this ( Apple iPhone 4 Unboxing, Setup, & Review )
Thanks and keep it up !!!! :D
To me, they are the same because it's the operating system that's important. And both 5 and 4S can run iOS 6.
I understand it :) but do you already have any scratches on the phone?
what are the apple stickers for
+Raymond valencia gameplay cheats

You got to get RUclips from the app store when i got it i found that out
It's almost 1/2 way though the release cycle. I rather wait and get the next generation iPod touch.
How were you able to start your phone and use it without a sim card? What company are you with?
what do people mean when they say a off contract i am so confused and why should you get a unlocked i phone 5?
Really nice review man! I don't have a high resolution camera so I have to record all my videos on my phone... my point is that I'm liking and adding to my favorites.
They took youtube away for iOS 6. It was well better with it. Thanks for the video!!!!
Best iPhone review on RUclips dude! :-)
Not necessarily. Where I live, some providers are still selling the 5 along with the 5c and 5s. The 64GB 5 is still 100 dollars cheaper than the 16GB 5s
Where do u get a white iPhone 3GS
Gotcha.
Because it's February, I would say if you can wait then skip the iPhone 5.
I checked out my friend's Samsung Galaxy S3 and it's a good phone too. But, both the iPhone 5 and S3 have been out for a few months. Might as well wait for the next model.
I use to think Samsung phones were crap until the S3. Now that Samsung got a working model, I am curious how the S4 will turn out. So best not to lock yourself into a 2 year contract now.
Can you help me? Should I get the white one or the black one. I'm going to put it on a case and I'm a guy.
I just got mine last week! Just in time for mother's day.
Most places sell it for $200 for a 16 GB model with a 2 year contract. Bestbuy is currently running a promotion where it's $150.
sir im wondering for first time setup if we dont have any available wifi signal in our area, still we can proceed to setup ? without any wifi selection?
sorry for my english :)
Raymund Balagapo Hi. I think you need Wifi or an active SIM card to activate the phone. When I got a replacement phone, they activated it over the air.
I got it at the Apple store at launch. It's a 3G, the 2nd gen iPhone, not 3GS.
What's the call quality on this phone like??
how can i fix the bad call quality of the iphone 5 ? i just cant hear what theother person is saying .... I just got my iPhone...pls someone help !
It has a. Simcard for free ? Pls reply .
Yea, either wait for the S4 or wait to see if iPhone 5S will bring something new.
i like the white but if it is equal to you you should get black it blends in and it goes with lots of cases
If your case will cover the back of the phone, I think any will work for you. For me, I use a clear case. So I go the white iPhone because it's distinct and people can easily see that I am using the iPhone.
I think the 5S is worth getting just for the better camera. I could care less about the fingerprint sensor.
What button were you pressing at 14:06???
What is the defect of your first iPhone and what do you mean fedex crushed your second.?
I've always purchased mine from the Apple store, not AT&T store. At the Apple store, I just need cash or credit card. When I'm home and trying to activate it, that's when it verifies my identity.
why didnt you wait for the 5s ????
LTE is available on Telstra, Optus & Virgin Mobile.
Only in major cities though. (:
=D Good luck with that. I tried it once and only lasted 2 weeks before I couldn't stand the bubbles and had to take it off.
hey do you have a ipone 4s ? Awkwad Hamster ?
You know my pain! Gad to hear someone else remembers the 3G. If you read some of the comments below, people doubled the 3G came in white and insisted it was 3GS.
Wait, August? But the next iPhone will most likely come out in October. I would just wait until October to get the new one or buy the iPhone 5 at $100 less.
what is the lowest price of the iphone??
What is the minute thing like $50 per month
No RUclips in iOS6. you can download from appstore
When it's not part of a contract, you can take the phone and go to any cell phone carrier. Basically, you can shop around for the best rate and service.
How much capacity can a 16gb IPhone 5 hold up?
Do you prefer the iPhone 5 or 4s
price without contract ?
I'm getting a white iphone 5 in next week, can't wait!
@Fingerboardian95 they came out with new app for it threw the app store they got rid of all google apps on ios6
all google apps were removed in iOS 6....... that included google maps and the native youtube app
Getting this or the gs4 probably this though
How much do you pay a month with AT&T and why do we need the contract for???????
Okay,I have a dum question.How much do you pay a month.And if you get a AT&T LTE do you have to go to a AT&T company or store to pay a month or you can go to any.Please respong even tho im sure you wont get it or you will think this question is dum :/ But please can you
Many countries have LTE, it's not only USA. But, not all countries use the same LTE. Even in the USA each carrier has their own flavor of LTE.
how much did u pay for the i phone 5
How much for iphone 5?
It's different, not better, just different. Since you're getting a phone Monday, why not wait until Apple's new iPhone announcement on Tuesday?
what happen to my iphone 5 , i can receive text and call but i cannot sent or call....
Not sure.
Oh boy. That's a tough call. I think you will like the battery life of the iPhone 5. That's it. Just the battery life. Nothing else.
why would you skip putting in your apple id at the steup
How much it cost? Please respond!
Getting mine in August!!
Yes there is no youtube because after ios 6 is updated they cut thier partnership with youtube
Gonna try to get this for Christmas
When he was talking about apple's version of RUclips at about 10:00 the reason they took it off the 4 was because 1. They were having problems with it, 2. When the iOS 6 came out it was taken away and last RUclips came out with its own app instead of apple's old version
Y u dun have utube is cause apple did not sign a contract with RUclips 4 io6:)
it does have youtube, you have to download it off iTunes
The licence that requires Apple to include the RUclips app that has stood sonar the original iPhone has expired and as Google and Apple are at each others throats Apple decided to remove Maps as well as RUclips which is owned by Goohgle! They have released an official RUclips app on the AppStore though!
The old RUclips app got updated about a year ago to a better version that you can download for free at the App Store app
Getting the white iPhone in 2 months cant wait
After using the iPhone 5 for 6 months, I am already looking forward to my next cell phone. The call quality is very poor. I know it's not the service provider because my family uses the same carrier and none of their voices sound like they're underwater.
And I wish the iPhone 5 was wider, not just taller. The S3 does look beautiful though.
I've always opted for the white one because it's screams Apple. And it's easy to spot from across the room.
