Apple's iPhone 5 still elite?

The iPhone 5 was recently release worldwide by Apple.  As we all know, if you're an Apple user, you could not imagine going a single day without owning this most precious of all items.  Here's the problem, the phone sucks.  When I say it sucks, I mean that it's the same phone they've come out with for years.  Yeah, a slightly bigger screen (that actually makes it look kind of stupid).  I'm not just saying this as an Android phone user.  When I was shopping for smartphones, the iPhone 4s was my top choice.  Unfortunately, my carrier didn't have it.  One of the biggest problems with the iPhone 5 was the experiment they made with the Apple Maps system.  Basically, Apple tried to fix something that was broken, and then they broke it.  I attached an article below that explains some of the biggest (and funniest problems) of the new maps system that replaced the prestigious Google Maps system that everybody everywhere uses.  I would like to know your thoughts if you are an Apple user and have the new iPhone.  If you do not, feel free to share your opinion anyways, because there's nothing funnier than the "Apple vs. The World" argument.

    I agree that the Iphone 5 is not as "cool" as I thought the Iphone 4S was. When I first saw the Iphone 4S I was amazed that you could push a button and talk to it telling it what to do and it would do it. I have the Iphone 4 and waited for the Iphone 5 to come out to see if it would be worth the upgrade. Now after seeing it and hearing about it I think I would rather upgrade to the Iphone 4S. Why? because I like that the Iphone is a good size compared to the 5 and it basically has the same set up and options as the Iphone 5 and better yet it is even cheaper. I did hear that apple and google were competing and when I downloaded the new IOS6 to my Iphone 4 that youtube was no longer on my phone as one of my apps. I thought this seemed rather childish that apple was deleting googles apps on their devices.

    I agree what you just talk about. When the first iPhone was created at 5 more years ago, I guess. Apple company do the most job was just update it every year by fix a little things to keep their business. We may though iPhone 4 would be the final one with the big screen with similar system, however , when the iPhone5 come out it has not show us it have been much different compare with iPhone 4.
