iPhone 5 is likely the best Smartphone launched ever, but it does not change the world again. In fact, there's no line waiting in front of Apple's store in Shanghai although Apple's market share in the US reached record high. But in other part Windows Phone is eating iOS's share.

Recently Apple cut its orders to suppliers which led to the drop of share of Foxconn, and the analysts believe iPhone 5 stands no chance.

Apple really needs something revolutionary, but I do not think it's easy.

Analyst: Apple iPhone 5, game over

The iPhone is the best phone ever made by far. There is no phone even close to the iPhone. And each new version of it breaks records in sales.

That is a matter of opinion. No doubt it is a nice phone but the Samsung Galaxy S3 is quite marvelous as well. If I was going to go get a new phone right now it would be the Galaxy S3 but that is just my preference.

I would wait. Several of the tech sites are reporting that the S4 could be released any day now.

I don't think so.

The iPhone changes very little from model-to-model, lacks many features that are standard on other smartphones, and outside of working seemingly well (usually), it is not the most advanced out there. Nor will it ever be. By Apple standards, it is up for a complete overhaul. Apple is holding back, and in my opinion, it is so they can release a completely new phone. My guess is that the iPhone 6, which will not be much different than the iPhone 5, will be the last iPhone.

How could that be? Apple is not to disappear in the Smartphone industry any time soon, and iPhone 6 could not last Apple a few years.

I got my wife the iPhone 5 and I got the Samsung Galaxy S3 and I love it! I wasn't extremely excited about her iPhone when I saw it, and in fact, my wife was more impressed with some of the features on my Samsung that she didn't have on her iPhone.

All in all, I guess it's which ever flavor, but I would say Samsung has done an excellent job in closing that gap between Android and IOS.

Ya know, I wouldn't just because I believe you roll with what you know is very good right now, and the S4 might be the phone that takes a step back or if anything, doesn't change much from the S3. Maybe a quad-core processor as opposed to a duo-core, but other than that, I have not regretted my smartphone purchase at all.

They say the S4 could have 1080P resolution. That would be a waste. The average person wouldn't be able to tell the difference on a device that small.
