After reading a whole bunch of comments i would like to add this: Do you your research and you will discover that the iphone 5 is an S3 with apple stickers on it. Apple paid samsung to use their internals. Not to mention that the new screen technology is also owned by samsung. I'm not an Apple hater by all means but a company that sues another company because "If you squint and look from this angle it kind of looks like our product". Apple have the same issue many different companies are falling into. Same shit different smell. They don't innovate anymore. They match the current best product on the market, slap their OS on it and go "ours is better buy it" and people do. Also if you have been following apple/the news lately you will see that last week their shares droped 20% in one week. I think that shows that people are getting sick of the same thing over and over. Apple was dead when steve resigned.

iPhone 5 isn't quite S3 with Apple stickers, but thats almost what I was looking for: a S3 that was smaller, but didn't sacrifice power.

Processor in the new iPhone is a custom Apple design manufactured by Samsung, not a Samsung processor. Screens were all Samsung, now I think Samsung have been cut back, and its mostly LG and Sharp supplying screens.

All these wankers who think their iPhone is better than all the other phones are deluded. But they're pretty much a copycat of everything else now, which is scary. After years of offering phones that were based on 2-3 year old hardware, they've finally made something current. Imagine if they keep this up and do finally make something better?

Or maybe Samsung et al could realise that not everyone after a good, powerful phone wants a 5" screen, and start making smaller phones that don't suck more than Lindsay Lohan.

Yeah, I really can't go back to a smaller screen after having an S3. The size isn't even a problem 99% of the time. Plus, it's waaaay better for reading/browsing as you don't have to zoom as much, and you can hold the phone a reasonable distance from your face without squinting.

Seriously, phones have gone this way for a reason. Our needs are changing.

Battery life is horse shit however.

Thats fine, but my point is that not everyone needs the bigger screen. I have a tablet, why do I need a phone with a big screen as well?

Surely smaller screens need less power too?

the s3 has a small screen compared to the note2...

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
