I'm a fairly heavy user and my 5 lasts until around 8pm then needs a bit of a recharge (just like me!). Have you tried a new battery in your iPhone? It's very easy to change in the 4 & 4S, not so much in the 5. The new iPhone 5S camera sensor uses bigger pixels than the last model, so should be

Cheers Sam. After reading about the camera it might be worth a closer look, sorry about that :) All I'm after us a decent pic in all lights, not something pro quality. Re the battery it might just be my iphone although this is my 3rd 4s, but if I use it normally it definitely won't last a long da

The battery life on a Samsung Galaxy S4 isn't much better in real-world terms, you still have to charge it once a day under heavy usage. Looking at the new Galaxy smartwatch, you get 6 hours battery out of it, not even a day, now that's rubbish! As for the camera, they have improved it a lot in

Not quite. Performance is the same or better. Bigger battery, bigger demand, same experience. -- Sent from my iPhone On 11 Sep 2013 at 11:49:14 BST, Michael Dennis - FanChants.com wrote: > Fair enough we all have our point of view, however, I would have thought by > now they

I find the camera on my iPod touch works impressively well (except in low light) and its picture taking and video capabilities far exceed my dedicated Kodak camera from about 8 years ago as well as being loads smaller and doing many, many other things my Kodak never could. I have it with me 95%

Quite. I use my iPhone for snapshots and my Lumix (thanks Ranulph for recommending it) for better pictures. And I like both of the new iPhone ranges too. Sent from my iPhone On 11 Sep 2013, at 09:56, Phil Ward wrote: > Seems to me that no smart phone, however many mega-pixels it can wield, w

You know what this means from a policing point of view we will have to chop of suspects hands before they Are convicted, hands will have to be bagged and exhibited alongside the iPhone. Summary justice me thinks. ;-) That's progress for you. Sent from my iPhone On 11 Sep 2013, at 08:56, Sam

Seems to me that no smart phone, however many mega-pixels it can wield, will ever take truly good pictures. For that you need a high-quality, variable focus lense and proper, large-scale optics. Perhaps you just need somebody to introduce a camera that makes phone calls. P On 11 Sep 2013, at
