> The iPhone 5 was hyped by the media in every possible sense.
So was the iPhone, and the iPad, and the iPhone 4, and the 4S, and the iPad mini, and basically every Apple product ever. This isn't new.
> It was projected to be some kind of a super-phone.
By who? Your local news station? Nobody with any sense made that prediction.
> Some even speculated it to have a mini projector, laser-keyboard and what not.
Random analysts and tech enthusiasts figured that Apple would randomly switch gears to gimmicky half baked features that nobody else has shipped yet instead of using the years of actual information at their disposal that shows Apple iterates over constantly overhauling?
Yeah real surprising.
> while the rest of its competitors have had super-fast quad-core chips with higher clock speed
You know nothing about the topic you're talking about. The iPhone 5 A6 processor benches faster than most Android tablets and the GPU outstrips all Mali GPUs and the Tegra 3. Meanwhile "super-fast quad core chip" has so little meaning it might as well just be a marketing term.

- shinratdr 14y agoWhat in the hell are you talking about? Way to completely derail a discussion. EDIT - Oh I see, you're also the guy who thinks open source wins everything because Android is doing well right now. I honestly hadn't noticed. I just see a dumb comment and pounce, I hadn't looked at the username for either comment until just now. However if I'm bothering you frequently, that's not a good sign. It means you're spouting a bunch of ridiculous BS with little to no evidence or point. Try to avoid that in the future, and trust me you'll never see my name again. Continue to and you almost certainly will. I don't check usernames, I just reply. EDIT - I just have to add that I love that two comment replies to you four days apart counts as sexualized stalking. Either you're the biggest prude in history, extremely paranoid, or possibly just not as quick witted as you thought.
