they must get backed up somehow. i killed my last 3GS two years ago and did a restore from backup then. When i restored from backup this morning onto the 5 (After doing another backup of the 3GS), i had only texts and phone history up until the backup 2 years ago. So i must have chosen the wrong backup (old vs. new)any idea where the backup files that iTunes uses are stored? i.e. which folders in Windows?

Funny...I would definitely say the latest generation Androids surpass the iPhone 5, after playing with it, but it is close enough it'll vary person to person. It isn't just speed, but Android and iPhone are very equivalent OSes at this stage of the game, when talking about their latest offerings. It's really about the eco-system and what your friends/family have, not about which one is really objectively "better" at this point.
I would agree with that - you really have to be careful who you trust and even in the same brand on Android you want to check reviews for the model you are looking at. No question Apple generally does a great job on quality control.Thanks for that link, just ordered one myself (been looking for something like this as I have an unremovable battery in my HTC One X, so for real heavy use days, like conferences or traveling, it is nice to have a backup.)
It obviously depends on where you use it. Twice I used it and the directions were horrible.I have not had any problems with maps. What exactly is the issue?
Obviously it depends on what you are trying to do with it. I tried to get directions to Greenville, NC and it brought up directions to Greenville, SC. I was able to get Siri to get me the right directions and the directions worked perfectly.

Yup. I had an extended battery on my Evo and still always plugged it in. Even with the extended battery it would need an afternoon charge even when I started the day at 100%.
It's worth the switch for that alone. Just posted this in the EVO thread:

Wow... that's terrible.
I don't understand how this is apples to apples here. Doesn't battery life degrade over time? A new battery is always going to have superior life.
It's probably not apples to apples...but that's always been the biggest problem with the EVO (one of Androids most successful phones).
Not to mention the technology differences. The EVO is a >2 yr old phone, has a much less power efficent SoC than what's out there today, runs a less power efficient OS compared to ICS, and uses a battery hog standard with WiMax. A more fair comparison might be with something like the iPhone 4 running LTE, but that doesn't exist. The iPhone might still win, but the difference is unlikely to be remarkable (by the time I got rid of my 3GS, after 1.5 yrs, my battery life was down around 25%).
But it's got a 1.45Ghz PROCESSOR dude.
You might want to talk to culdeus about how not to be a ####### when it comes to handling a lithium ion battery
Not even close to apples to apples. Comparing a 2+ year old phone and 2+ year old battery tech to a newer phone is a bit more than deeply flawed.
Last Friday we had UPS show up at our house at 8:30PM with an Amazon order. I've never seen them show up that late (we're last on their route ~ 5:30ish). I assumed it was because of the iphone. Crazy.
haha yeah i'm bad at taking care of my stuff. I never bother cycling or anything. But the good thing is with a non-iPhone i can just pay $20 and get a brand new battery without missing a beat.You might want to talk to culdeus about how not to be a ####### when it comes to handling a lithium ion battery
Not true at all. It has been on record that I feel it's a matter of preference between iPhone and the top of the line android phones. I recently switched from iPhone 4 to S3 and aside from the shorter battery life (not a major issue since I use my phone for pleasure and not business) in happy I made the switch.
The point isn't about the speed or specs, but that LTE phones have been around for a couple of years now but since they ran only on android phones a majority of smart phone users are just now experiencing the faster networks.Basically if it's not on an iPhone then the tech doesn't even exist for most smart phone users.
Anyone? Is it really as simple as turning it on and following the prompts? Switching from a 4, btw.
Well...few things...that EVO battery (I still am using it) sucks.Add in the bigger screen...and that its now a 2+ year old technology running it...I would hope the Apple battery (which was already better) would be better.I don't think its a surprise and its definitely a reason Im switching to the 5 when I do upgrade.
problem fowarded to activation team and should be in contact within 24 hours. They said I have an "orphan phone"
FWIW, I was just comparing it b/c that's what I owned...not looking to write a blog post or anything
Don't get me wrong, I have no doubt that iPhone 5 has fantastic battery life, which is better than most, if not all, Android phones. But to compare it to the OG EVO is ridiculous.
It is just interesting to read these and some of the other responses. We all acknowledge that the iPhone 5 is a great device, but I'm more curious how it stacks up against SG3, OneX, and Razr Maxx style phones who all had superior battery life and other aspects to the 4S. I guess there just aren't that many people that have experience with the 5 and the ICS devices; it is hard to understand just how big of a jump these newer Androids have been. I'm just here for the

though, keeping abreast of the technology for the next time I need/want a phone.I'd be interested to see what happens if you re-run the test on your iPhone in a few months. My hunch is that Apple batteries have a bit more staying power over time then the various Android ones. I've been impressed by how long my iPad2 battery has seemed to have similar life so I'm curious to see how that transitions to LTE.FWIW, I was just comparing it b/c that's what I owned...not looking to write a blog post or anything

Nice. This sounds like a fun job.
i know i'm way late to the game on the display improvements, but coming from a 3GS to the 5 is
Yeah.. times have changed a bit .
BUT BRIDGES ARE MELTING!Used Maps to get me from Sacramento into and all around SF for the last few days.
It was flawless.
not nearly enough outrage in this post.Used Maps to get me from Sacramento into and all around SF for the last few days. It was flawless.
Mentioned in the article, but not in the graphic:No MAxx comparison?!?!?!?ETA: I have no idea how it compares
about the LTE talk. I'm on AT&T, if they just activated their LTE network, what good would a LTE phone have done for me before I attained my iPhone 5?
I've heard it referred to as "the Samsung Killer"
ETA: You know...Samsung should really work that into their commercials!I've heard it referred to as "the Samsung Killer"
seriously?
Seems like a very specific use case (like using on an airplane or something), would rather see a comprehensive battery test kind of like a PC Benchmark.
