Re: Wot no bigger screen...

""...still stuck at that small 4" screen, I'll stick with Android..."

You do that. Meanwhile, those of us who want phones that are phone sized instead of vast tablet wannabe sized will stick with the only remaining phone manufacturer that puts top of the range processing power into something of a reasonable size."

And you can stay in the 00's while the rest of us are miles ahead. What a stupid comment to make, and always from cowards.

Re: Still with the tincy-wincy liddle screen?

"Not everyone wants a big pratt phone to go with their big pratt car (4x4).

The Nokia 920 I have it just about as big as they should go. 1080 HD screens are a complete waste of time too. If your laptop doesn't have one then why would a phone need one?"

All Big Pratt 4x4 owners carry iPhones!

iSheeple love their HD screens and tout it as being superior to all other devices ever created.

Re: Fingerprint sensor...

"Fingerprint sensor...

This *would* be pretty revolutionary for a change"

Are you 12 years old? If not, where have you been? In a cave with your iToy.

Releasing a cheaper model is counter-intuitive.

Shiny Shiny Sheep have stated, in no uncertain words, that their choice was based on the phone being expensive. Which of these flaky "people" would choose a cheaper phone? They need their (in their minds) expensive piece of tech, to give their pathetic existence some value.

Much of the same thing then?

Yet the iClones will STILL slate me for dissing their shiny shiny.

Sorry, but you're choices are poor.

Getting excited about iPhone shows just how last century you are.

Re: Facepalm...

"Why? He is right after all: cyclists produce CO2 and use public roads. It is only fair that they also pay the penalties and taxes. Granted, a smaller amount should be asked of them, but his logic is sound. Factor in drivers having to sit behind cyclists in a lower gear, thereby increasing the amount of CO2 that their cars produce,and it makes even more sense. My car uses 8.5 liters per 100km in top gear, but 10.5 in third, which is where I'm stuck in if I have to follow a cyclist. I reckon it's unfair that I have to pay for that extra 25 odd percent CO2 my car produces."

Rik!

There are LOTS of things rival equipment can do that ithings can't. Apple tech is stuck in the last decade, like it's owners.

You really need to take your head out of Apple's ass hole. Your not much of a reporter, all one sided bolox with zero knowledge to what is actually going on around you. Lets hope it's not iGlasses next, or you'll be totally blind.

Can't target those with a problem, lets hit everyone!!

"suppress its use, including sharply increased pricing and a ban on alcohol advertising and sponsorships.

In developing this strategy, we considered the best available evidence about appropriate policies and interventions that are needed both to reduce drinking levels in individuals and reduce the damage to families and communities that alcohol can cause"

So because other useless pikey tw*ts inablility to behave like an adult, everyone has to suffer these ridiculous restrictions?

Typical English response! Why are the 'glish so useless at everything? Over 1/2 of them need to be tw*tted.

Maybe if their parents raised them correclty, I wouldn't be surounded by idiots.

Re: Why not just build a solar panel that covers half the world....

"massively inefficient and unreliable generation methods such as wind and solar power."

Utter bollox!

If solar is so bad then why do I earn money for generating electricty? Why is my bill next to nothing?

Maybe we should harness the hot air the English produce every minute of the day? I would be enough to power the entire planet!

If we ALL had our own micro generation there would be no need for lots of massive generating stations. And don't forget just how wasteful the grid is! We waste a power station of output just through transmission.

People, stop slating current solutions and be a little more productive.

" iPhone 5 offered a state-of-the-art user experience if you’d never had a fondle of the latest competitor handsets" I made this comment and was slagged off by some of the ladies who frequent this place.

With regards to bustin' your data cap. Why would 4G make me download/browse/stream more content?

It's the same file, just getting to the handset faster.

"........high earners directly paid for by the state"

Nice assumption. Completely wrong.

Local government bodies are cutting back on everything. If someone wants 4G they will have to produce a business case to justify the spend over 3G.

You need to rethink your thinking on "state" spending in this age of Tory austerity. Don't blindly believe what you read, like a religious nutcase.

Microsoft wobblers tempted by the fruit of Apple's mobes can now indulge themselves in up to date tech with features sets and capabilities expected in 2013, and not hold a luddite's phone with limited feature sets in the last decade and poor design!

The FT is heavily biased. Pinch of salt?

Look at the bigger picture and it can be seen that it's not just Apple having to deal with a slow in demand (no matter how great they think their ithings are).

"high-frequency signals don't propagate very far but that doesn't matter because each phone mast can only handle a certain number of users in its cell area anyway, and this capacity is more likely to be a problem than the distance to the nearest mast."

I wish Orange/EE would understand this. My phone is regularly bumped off the network without warning. EE saying it's an issue at the mast closest to my location, but it's not. It's oversubscription.

Yup!

The door is definately the most worthwhile/valuable item in any Apple store. It actaully has some use. It's certainly not the baubles inside.
