What do people think the iPhone 5 is so amazing?

[Mango]

I can sort of agree with you, there's way too much hype around the releases of iPhones. But I always maintain that it's the best phone out there for most users. No, it's not customizable, but many people don't want customization. They just want a simple, easy to use interface from a company with great customer service. Also, smartphones are all about the apps. iOS still has the largest app store on a smartphone, and higher quality apps also, because developers put more money and effort into iPhone apps because they know that's where people will be making the most purchases.

The only smartphone that I consider to be equally matched to the iPhone is the Samsung Galaxy Note II, which will be released in five or six weeks.
