MSE News: iPhone 5 release date rumour round-up

Just hope Apple offer the interest free credit like with the iPhone 4, signing up to a lengthy contract at £30+ is a swizz.

Sim only deal and the handset on 0% interest free is the way to go.

I keep seeing this word "intuitive" being banded around by Iphone owners, surely a word they would never have thought of using in everyday life until some journo or marketing guru placed it in their subconcious.

Intuitive ... in other words "simple"!

Maybe but having used many different GUI's on different phones (and other systems) Apples is the most logical to use most of the time, someties it is hard to work something out but not as often as I find it is on Android.

You may say simple but people like it judging by numbers of phones sold.

Only because there are hundreds more handsets avaliable though. If apple were to flood the market like android has then obviously they would have more market share. The phone 4 is the most bought handset worldwide

And? This is absolutely meaningless because, say, Samsung can sell several variations of, say, Galaxy (not to mention other models) and each variation sells in smaller numbers than iP.

Apparently the 'other' category consists of various small manufacturers such as "MicroMax. Spice. Tianyu. Maxx Mobile. Videocon. Karbonn."

Apple are incapable of doing that. And the iphone 4 is not the most bought phone world wide that honour falls to a nokia handset.
