I really hope that won't happen, lol.

Which country u in? definitely not in Malaysia

As expected, I knew it is not such a widespread problem. Some stupid netizens and the media go and emplify the issue, like how they did with the antenna problem last time. They are like "oh my god, my iPhone has scratches, all the iPhones in the world have such scratches too"

16GB is actually enough for you. Photos won't consume much, quite impossible for photos to reach 10gb, lol.

Agreed. It's people like that that gives Apple fanboys a bad name.

NCSettings is bettr, IMO.

All iPhones in Malaysia are unlocked.

Yeah, can buy iPod touch now only.

Scratches doesn't affect all units la. Just funny how everyone makes it out like ALL the iPhone 5s have scratches out of the box. And Purple flare is already present on the 4S (and quite a number of cameras out there), Just dunno why suddenly the iPhone 5 they go "over-hype" it.

Why all the blame on Apple for the Foxconn issue?
Apple actually did try to provide a solution for this problem. Few months back, Tim Cook actually gave a visit to the Foxconn factory told Foxconn to give them shorter working hours with the same pay, and guess what, the Foxconn workers complained because they say if they don't work, they have nothing else to do and rather work, so what they expect Apple to do oso I dunno.

Here's my very own opinion (I have tried both of them):
Galaxy Note 2
Pros:
1. Awesome big screen
2. Games and movies looks AWESOME on it
3. The S-Pen is really damn useful when taking notes, honestly, no other phone can beat that in my opinion
4. You can customize more with Android, and you can do many interesting things like using custom ROMS etc.

Cons:
1. The bigger-than-average size is very hard to hold, and very hard to find a pocket that fits (it looks hideous when the head is protruding out from my jeans pocket) and let's not talk about one handed usage.
2. Games may look nice, but it is very hard to control because of the monstrous size, especially on games like Modern Combat 3 where some buttons are right at the middle of the screen.
3. Android is not as sleek and stable as iOS, and updates are very slow you probably need to wait months to get an official update. And also the lack of standardization makes some apps not optimized for it.
4. Comes with quite a number of software which aren't really useful, or I should call it "bloatware"

iPhone 5
Pros:
1. The Retina Display is a bomb, very sharp and the colour is nice and it also consumes quite little power
2. Straight forward, simple and user-friendly interface, very suitable for people like my parents
3. The size is perfect. Fits into the smallest of pockets and on handed usage is no problem
4. Due to its size, gaming is very enjoyable.
5. Timely updates, no waiting. And you can be sure that all apps are supported for it. But it will take some time to for all apps to fit the longer screen though.
6. iOS is very stable and stock apps like the browser are very good and definitely miles away from the stock browser of other phones.
7. The cameras quality is superb, especially in low-light conditions.

Cons:
1. Without jailbreaking, it provides very limited customizability.
2. Not shortcut/toggles like wifi shortcut etc if you don't jailbreak.
3. There is not much you can do with it besides using apps and surfing the net if you are a techie.
4. The 4inch screen may look "puny" for you if you prefer humongous screens.
5. No expandable memory. For people like me who can easily fill up a 32GB iPod Touch, should be no problem filling up a 64gb one, lol.
6. Basically not really practical without a jailbreak. It is strictly meant as a "smartphone" and not some things which you play around and try different stuffs like Android phones.

So basically you need to decide yourself. It's all up to personal needs and preference.

Not really a con, or neither a pro for me though, just haven't thought of it. The entire time I had an iPhone I never had the desire to take out the battery and the entire time I had a galaxy s2, I only took out the battery once because I froze and bricked it when installing a ROM, lol.

I understand, I'm a very heavy user and I charge my battery average twice a day, sometimes even charging 3 times. I use to swap batteries on my S2 until I got myself an backup battery, which is much more practical than swapping batteries tbh. Very mafan to turn off than take battery out then in and on again.
And each time u boot your phone, it consumes a huge amount of power which really hurts the battery.

If you take care of the battery properly, that's quite unlikely to happen. But actually, it's quite unlikely to happen too if you dun take care of it properly I find that Apple actually makes good quality batteries.
My iPod touch 3g is already 3 years old, and I don't see any significant drop in battery life. And I don't care about my battery either, i charge it whenever I like full or not full and sometimes it leave it charging overnight

Haha, patience man, i here anticipating like hell oso xD

4S is different from 4. The size is the same I think but the power is different, dunno about price though.

Replacing the battery is not hard actually. I have helped 3 of my friends replace their 4S battery and it took me 20 minutes on my first try and than it only took me 10 minutes on subsequent tries. And I leave all of it only from YouTube videos.

Haha. I did a scratch myself, purposely use car keys to scratch my iPod touch oso no problem.

The truth sucks, but malaysia no LTE yet

Yes, first thing i do every morning I wake up is go Google and search "iPhone 5 Malaysia"
