Re: [iPhone] iPhone 5 - Most anticipated and expensive junk said by rugby:Maybe, but getting the wife and kids to use it isn't worth the hassle. iTunes Match just works for the most part.
Not sure what the difference is - seen both in action actually. Have music collection, iTunes/Amazon finds what you has, matches to what it has available, and boom. |

Amazon, like Google Music Manager, won't upload or transcode ALAC. While it says ALAC support, that is only for matching purposes, meaning if your ripped a Stones CD to ALAC and it happens to be in their catalog, you'll get matched with a lossy 256k mp3 but if it is an ALAC of something not in the store, you're screwed with 1/2 empty playlists, at least that is what I got with Amazon's importer.
iTunes Match will transcode and upload ALAC if not matched. Given ALAC is open source there is a snowball's chance of getting support in the distant future but for now iTunes match is all there is aside from transcoding and creating a duplicate library to support the few shortcomings in Google Music Manager and Amazon Music importer. |

kudos:3 | Ah. I've just always kept my collection in the universal MP3 format, or whatever OSS codecs that releases have been in the past couple years. Given that ALAC went OSS & royalty-free less than a year ago, that can explain why I've never encountered that problem within my collection. |

I'm going to pass, LTE speeds are sweet but the size i don't like at all. I'd rather have it wider than taller. I have had 4 for 2 years and i guess i'll get 4S. |

| Some stuff like panorama, turn-by-turn, flyover and other stuff only runs on 4S and 5. 3GS and 4 didn't get all of the iOS6 stuff. That is why on my 4 I'm not seeing any point in moving from iOS5 to 6...I just ended up losing the native Youtube app and gaining a lot of nothing. |

| Also keep in mind, the iphone 5 speed test is like comparing apples and oranges. The A6 processor was not run with Android installed.

kudos:2 | Yeah, need app to app comparisons like Photoshop on OS X and Windows so see how in the real world both are. |

| Or just handicap ios. Set it to run at the same cpu, gpu, and ram level as android before testing. |

said by Jackarino:I think the 4S is better than the 4
I had the 4 and the 4S. The only difference I ever noticed was the resolution of the dreaded antenna issue. My 4 was prone to continuous dropped calls and the only way I could use it was through a bluetooth headset. That was the only reason I went for the 4S, that too I waited for 3 good months to ensure it didn't behave like the 4.. plus Galaxy S3 wasn't launched that time.
CPU processing is a bit quicker on the 4S but no mind blowing speeds.
If you are looking to save money then yes from a 4 going to a 4S is a better option than the 5.
