Official iPhone5 Announcement Thread - 1PM EST
- Thread starter MadWun
- Start date
I actually like the new Iphone 5. It's not innovative or anything, but I just like the look of it. I'm glad they got a bigger screen finally. I would seriously like to add one of these to my arsenal. I think if anybody was thinking hard about switching from Android to IOS this would be the phone to do it.
It will be their best-selling phone ever. Just like the 4s when it came out, despite a BGOL thread identical to this one. (Actually I think the 4s thread last year was worse).
Rooting
And flashing different roms onto your headset If you want

Is the back metal or glass still? And lol @ you can now see more of your email.
We all got opinions but do you believe a bigger screen would make someone hop over there?

WTF is you talking about , i have no idea what android phone you used but that statement alone = FAIL.Stop talking shit, The Touch Screen is horrible on the Android, It will never be as smooth as Apple Patented MultiTouch.
But i do agree IPhone 5 = IPhone 4GS 2.0!
Will be interesting to see if it does become the best selling ever.
I really like my iPhone.
That said, I'm 50/50 on a siii!
At&t contract up next month, gotta decide.

Rooting, got it. Off to do some research.
I would ask yourself why you wanted to jailbreak on iOS. There's a chance you may not need to do it with Android because it's a bit more open.
I don't have a newer phone now (waiting on the Nexus release coming soon) but I mainly root to overclock the processor, have more control over backups and delete stock apps that the carrier or manufacturer installed
nah, not just the bigger screen. it's not really what Apple is dong that makes the switch seem appealing. It's more what Google isn't doing. Android is in a lull right now. The Jellybean rollout is extremely slow. We saw the Google I/O event that had all the new features for Android 4.1, but hardly anybody is getting it. That could be frustrating to some Android users. One nice thing that was done, was allowing devs to host ROMs through the Google download center. But the variety of hardware and manufactures make Android development difficult for those on less popular devices. I wouldn't make a switch, but I wouldn't have having an Iphone 5 as a communications supplement.
Android is the OS, ICS is the VERSION as is jellybean, if you want to get technical...
Yeah you said Android, but there are different versions.
Just wanted to clarify in case dude is expecting JellyBean on the SIII

Head on over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/
Everything you want and need to know about rooting and can find a JellyBean kang to run on your phone.
CyanogenMod or CM10 is one of the better ROM's of hacked stuff, but many developers over there take their rom as a base and add onto it, that is called a "kang"
I have my Galaxy Note running CM10 JellyBean 4.1.1 at 1836 clock speed. Along with a ton of "paid" apps off Blackmart...

Metal
Nah
So it's more durable, won't break?
I see. Well that last one is for certain to start. I saw a stock Android screen that had a shit load of icons. I didn't know where to start.
Does Android have a version of Lockdown Pro in it's app market? SBS? Wunderradio?
Thank you sir.

The holdup is with the carriers mostly. If you're not on Verizon or Sprint, a Nexus device from Google will solve everything you mentioned
Sorry that link was for Verizon SIII
Don't know what carrier you have but here it is for AT&T

Different from jb'ing same phone that is on verizion?

The versions of Android.
JellyBean is the latest one, while ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) is the older one.

WindowsPhone8 has a long way to go to catch up, but those look like nice devices.
IMO, it is now just a matter of choice, or device a person wants to have.
They both pretty much for the most part do the same damn things.
Just my 0.02c

Less than 2% percent market share.
JellyBean is a version of Android, so is ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich)
JB is 4.1.1
ICS is 4.0
Older version that most phones come with previous to ICS was Gingerbread 2.3
Now there aren't different versions because of only the carrier, it is because they are different models of phones, Verizon radio or phone cannot run on AT&T which is a GSM type service.
But you can hack an AT&T phone with a different APN or radio to run on different GSM networks like T-Mobile or the others in Canada like Rogers or whatever else is up there
