Does The iPhone 5 Feature Anything You Wish You Had On Your Android Device?

Apple released the iPhone 5 today, and while it put the majority of us to sleep, we can’t help but think there HAS to be at least one feature of the iPhone 5 that you wish you had. Yes, I realize we already have over 90% of them already, but what about its PPI? There has to be something? I’ve put together a poll with a few of the possibilities, so put in your vote, and if there’s something else you can think of, throw it in the comments.

Sorry, that’s all I got.

    LOL, well I read it has three microphones…. but that would never make me get an iPhone.

  • Joe Avery

    hey there is only one option on there…
    Yes, even my gs3 I can make out the pixels and the pentile. It doesn’t bother me the way it did on the Atrix though.
    The HOX screen was excellent, I don’t know that I would say you need better then that. My GS3 screen is fine for me, but like I said, i notice things on occasion.

  • egidiotx

    In May 2011 I put my iPhone 3G in the drawer and moved to Android and never looked back! Nothing the iPhone 5 has beats my Samsung Galaxy S III.

    iPhone 5 is the thinest and lightest mobile phone that exists, 10 hour battery life. BOOM! What’s the galaxy 3 last for like 2-3 hours on one charge?

        yeah yeah you android users are all about falling for cheap gimmicks , bottom line the iphone just works well and lasts

          u need to get out more, must be really sticky under Tim’s desk

          • http://www.facebook.com/people/Sean-Shamus-McCabe/503851252 Sean Shamus McCabe

            That’s the best you got?

            it´s not the thinnest one

          • SamuelBrock

            It’s actually thinner than the camera and antennae housing of the Droid RAZR so…

        • abc905

          why are you commenting on cult of android then?

    • http://twitter.com/LastArcticFoal Mark

      Two things: Are you that weak that you can’t even lift a cell phone? And two, you might as well just buy a belt holster for your phone because it will be quite awhile before they make a phone thin enough to fit into your skinny jeans.

      And the S3 has up to 2 times the battery life, lets you swap the battery out for free when it dies, lets you upgrade the memory to 96 Gigs for around $40 dollars (depending on where you buy) and shows people that you have more important things in your life that you just want a reasonable phone thats price is right and that you want to maybe set yourself apart from mainstream apple (because that’s what they’ve become).

  • fanpple

    the apple logo

      I really like that logo but spending hell lot of money for that doesnt make sense to me….

      • SamuelBrock

        the iPhone 5 is the same price as most Android phones.

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mike-Tyrell/570283125 Mike Tyrell

          My gs3 is 500$ unlocked no contract

  • jahsoul

    I just did some reading and saw that the HTC Rezound has 342 ppi on a 4.3″ screen. I guess that’s that for the poll. :-/

    • VinMessina

      Why did you have to ruin my fun! =)

  • glaseryaniv

    iOS …

  • Cold_dead_fingers

    Well, it’s quite stupid to say that Android has had all of these features becaause in reality it’s not like every Android handset gets those features. The iPhone 5 is way better than my Galaxy Nexus.

    • msnight04

      Care to explain? There’s honestly nothing I care for in the iPhone 5 that I can’t already do with my Galaxy Nexus on Jelly Bean (even ICS for that matter). Most features even work better on Android.

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Sean-Shamus-McCabe/503851252 Sean Shamus McCabe

        Because you’ve already done a real life side by side comparison of your phone and the iPhone (sarcasim)

    • http://www.facebook.com/apurvasaxena Apurva Saxena

      Can you name one that G Nex doesnt have….?

      • http://www.facebook.com/azizwarsi Aziz Warsi

        The design my friend ….. Nexus looks ugly

    How about the ecosystem?

    • The__Truth__Hurts

      ecosystem is great, matter of fact. have used both iOS and android and there really isn’t much difference.

  • Vytas Barauskas

    IOS Apps. Itunes. Ipad/Mac interoperability

  • http://www.facebook.com/maysjosh Josh Mays

    iMessaging… Its what most people with iphones do with them and going back to regular text messaging just isnt the same.

    • http://www.facebook.com/apurvasaxena Apurva Saxena

      for that BBM is the best….but i think nowadays there are several alternatives that BBM and iMessage on android….you gotta try one…

  • http://www.facebook.com/lanejasper Lane Jasper

    no. But it SHOULD (The iPhone) have a MicroSD slot by now, it’s 2012

    • http://www.facebook.com/xoleras Dimitris Theofilopoulos

      and how are going to charge you 100 per 16 gigs of ram?

  • sanfordandsons

    DroidNerds, please, not all android devices have all the features you already have. I have a 4.0 on my Incredible and it is so buggy that my home screen changes every time I hit my home button. It does nothing that yours does. Half of my apps don’t work and I can’t get rid of them. I have so much bloatware that I don’t use, that my memory is almost used up. YouTube doesn’t work well, messages get lost and I can’t save the ones I want to save. I am frankly sick of Android and I can’t wait until I get my new iP5.

    • The__Truth__Hurts

      Yeah. I totally believe your post, since Android 4.0 has not rolled to the Incredible yet.

      • thatguyneptune

        Why hasn’t 4.0 rolled to the Incredible yet? It was released 11 months ago, right?

        THAT, my friend, is called fragmentation, and that is why Android sucks, and will always suck.

    • superlaser

      U suck

  • Jesse Barnes

    Cult of Android makes me want to punch my computer. Create a original phone with original features, then you can talk. Until then the iPhone will continue to rein supreme.

    • The__Truth__Hurts

      Create an original phone…? Maybe Apple shouldn’t be copying all the features that Android phones have had for YEARS.

    • http://www.facebook.com/xoleras Dimitris Theofilopoulos

      why are you here you fuckin troll ass bitch?

  • FlowXT

    Don’t phones like Xperia S have a higher PPI at 342 ?

  • Tracy

    I want my notification light!!!! I can’t believe the iPhone STILL does not have one!

    • SamuelBrock

      You can set the led to flash when you have a notification.
