The iPhone 5 does not support NFC. But it turns out that NFC could be a potential security risk.
For years Apple has 'bullied' rival companies with ads such as the infamous "Mac vs. PC" attacks or lawsuits (the more recent Samsung one comes to mind). Other companies have tried to fight back, but Apple's innovation has left them weak and pointless.
T-Mobile is doing its best to show you that you don't need an iPhone 5 by offering a free HD download of the Avengers movie as well as offering the Galaxy Note 2 in the coming months.
Apple and Samsung are going at it again. In a case filed in February of this year in the United States, separate from the case in which Apple was awarded over a billion dollars in damages, Samsung filed a document with the same U.S. district court on Wednesday saying that it "anticipates" accusing Apple's iPhone 5 of violating the same patents as the iPhone 4.
In a Twitter post, Samsung makes it clear that it does not want the Galaxy S4 on people's minds - at least until it has finished releasing this year's lineup.
It's almost here, but Samsung has given developers the source code for the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update for the Galaxy S3 smartphone ahead of time.
Samsung will unveil the device at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February 2013.
Early benchmark results released by Geekbench show that the iPhone 5 is a slightly slower phone than Samsung's Galaxy S3.
The Apple vs. Samsung battle continues to escalate. The iPhone 5 went on a tirade this morning selling out pre-orders within an hour.
But Samsung was not far behind. Days earlier, they made their next tablet/phone the Galaxy Note 2 available for pre-order. There is obviously no need to ponder Samsung's motives for the pre-order; they obviously wanted to see not if, but how they could minimize Apple's own pre-sales for the iPhone 5.
An unofficial Jelly Bean ROM for the Galaxy S3 can give you a taste of what is to come over the next couple months, but only at a price - you lose your warranty.
Even though it's had a rough summer in the courtroom, Samsung is looking optimistic in its tech war with Apple.
If the rumors are true, Samsung could be releasing a smaller version of their popular Galaxy S3 smartphone to lure in consumers turned off by the handset's large 4.8-inch screen.
Despite having a bigger, 4-inch screen, the iPhone 5 is still the lightest and thinnest smartphone out of the three heavyweights.
Now that the Apple has set the record straight with official iPhone 5 specs, conflicted smartphone consumers can finally make an informed decision on which device they are going to purchase this fall.
With Apple finally revealing the iPhone 5 at a press conference yesterday, consumers this fall can look forward to choosing from two stellar smartphones.
