Any Nexus 4 vs Nexus 5 comparison photos to see how much bigger it is?

Even though it's not usable real estate the move to go clear on the top and bottom of the home screens gives it a much cleaner bigger look.
The specs for the screen are bonkers too.

So my iphone is on its last legs, and I'm in the market. Can you guys answer this, seeing as I've never really used anything other than Apple products:
- Can I run itunes on this phone? Or does it store music elsewhere? Is there a music app if so?
- What kind of apps run on it (I use shazam the most) but I also use Starbucks, Netflix, RBC, FB and twitter. I'm assuming Google offers these?
- what about MS Office, I'm assuming it can read word and excel docs, as well as Adobe?
- Can I run this phone on US, Chinese or Australian networks (broad question, but I ran into problems finding a sim with the iphone when it first came out)
The specs are all good (from what I understand) and it's unlocked which is good seeing as I travel internationally quite often. I'm keen to try something new.

-No you can't run iTunes, music is sold through Google's Play Store though you can sync your existing iTunes music via third party apps.
-All of the apps you mentioned are supported on Google's app store
-Nexus 5 is completely unlocked and will support almost every network except I think Verizon. You can pop in a sim card from practically every network though a couple of LTE networks are not supported but typically you wouldn't get LTE or data when you travel anyways.
Good luck. Nexus is a great phone you'll love it if you can nab one. They are in short supply right now but stock seems to be continually trickling in.

Wow that really makes the iPhone pricing seem pretty obscene. Especially since they are charging a reasonably $50 for doubling the storage as opposed to $100.

Looks like all 4 models are in stock again. Or at least they are taking orders; like Leon said leaving the warehouse in 3-4 weeks.

I'm not currently in the market for one. I still have an iPhone 5, so my phone is only a year old.
However if I had an older iPhone, this might be the way to go. I'm still quite happy with the Nexus 4 I got for me son a couple of months ago.

That's the thing that always got me. Phones with more storage were always a huge money maker for cell phone manufacturers since it really didn't cost them that much more to put in and solder a $10 more chip. Seemed like a gross rip off for them to charge me 10x more than their actual cost.
From what I heard with the Nexus 4 it seemed like they were breaking even for each 8GB phone sold after warehouse, advertising, development costs etc and making only a measly $30 on each 16GB sold. I'm pretty sure pricing model is similar to that with the Nexus 5. Available to order again btw, but shipping is a month out. Will be ready as a Christmas gift at least for anyone still ordering.
