Apple today announced it’s next-generation iPhone, inexplicably called iPhone 5. So for people thinking about getting a new phone this fall, how does it stack up again the new Lumia phones that Nokia and Microsoft announced last week?
Here are some of the more critical specs, side-by-side. Clearly this isn’t everything, but we believe we’ve captured the most important attributes that users care about.
How do you think they stack up?

That lack of information from Microsoft gives Apple a big advantage.
