Apple wins Samsung with millions bucks on patent. Does Apple think about the refund or compensation to Apple customers who bought their defects products?

    therock, 09 Oct 2012wth? there isn't that much upgrade from iphone 4s to iphone... moreYou are sadly mistaken because you judge from outside and from afar.

    It is the biggest speed increase between iPhones. It has increased screen size which was never done before. The camera takes 28 megapixel panoramics. It actually bests the SGS3 in drop tests, where the SGS3 is an excellent phone. It uses an A6 custom chip designed by Apple which not only makes it faster in real time usage than SGS3, it even beat SGS3 running Jelly Bean in GSMArena tests. It's in cell technology and color accuracy caused Display Mate to rate it the best mobile screen ever.

    You may not like it, but there is a reason that Slate, Consumer Reports and Engadget all call it the best smartphone ever made.

        "Crittercism, which is backed by Google Ventures,
        Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, AngelPad,
        AOL Ventures, Opus Capital and Shasta
        Ventures, provides crash reporting to app
        developers. The company provides developers
        with a wide range of data besides the mobile device and operating system, including, for
        example, the length of time between when an
        app is loaded and when it crashes, or how a user
        is holding a phone–portrait or landscape–when
        it crashes. It can also help evaluate whether an
        app’s own code has caused it to crash or whether a third party service SDK being used is causing
        the problem. This kind of data is important for
        helping developers plug all the holes in the
        landscape of operating systems. Clients using
        Crittercism include: Aston Martin Explore,
        Bullet Time and Hipster."

          "So what does all this data mean? On a basic level,
          you can see that iOS apps crashed more than
          Android apps during this time period. But
          Crittercism’s Levy cautions that this doesn’t
          necessarily mean that overall iOS apps crash
          more than Android apps. That’s because Apple had recently released a new version iOS 5 in
          October. Android’s new Ice Cream Sandwich
          operating system (Android 4.0), meanwhile, had
          not been widely released on phones yet at the
          time of this study. “I expect as Ice Cream
          Sandwich just launched and the new Nexus S phone launched (during the study), we’ll expect
          the same situation to occur (with Android) as
          what happened (with iOS),” Levy says."

          Statistic is a handy tool to prove what you want to, disillusionally i wonder!!!

Apple users always talk about fragmentation of Android but don't see IOS fragmentation. They boast that even the old iPhone could use the latest update. What they don't see is that some features are disabled just to accommodate to the old devices.

              Just to show you guys that IOS is not that superior to Android as what you might think:

                      "You might get more money back
                      when you sell iPhone but the S3
                      is still cheaper and a 64gb iPhone
                      costs over £200 more than a
                      16gb S3 with 64gb memory card,
                      and you paying a Hell of a lot
                      more for Apps and features on
                      iPhone, so overall it could easily
                      cost more than three times as
                      much to run an iPhone than an

                          But Apple uses all these vague little patents to attack their competition and slow down the evolution of tech.
                          And yeah it is good in one way because it forces people to come up with completely different ideas but it's bad for customers if they don't want to share those ideas and that will seriously slow advancements down, and Apple really is most to blame for future phones not being as good as they could be.

The fact is LG is now suing Samsung as well just that it's not reported.

                              They learnt their lesson tho during the lawsuit, and produced the SGS3. Not hat they couldn't do it before, but they were just lazy. So, in a way, sometimes lawsuits can produce innovation.

Unfortunately, the patent system is broken, and everybody is forced to protect themselves. Even if you didn't sue anybody, you would still have to protect yourself to PREVENT from being sued,

                                Apple going after Android however, is quite straightforward, Eric Schmidt was on the board, he saw IOS, Android for phones suddenly magically transformed from Blackberry clone to iOS clone. Steve blocked Eric from iPad, and Android suddenly magically slow on tablets unlike in smartphone case, the industry already has silently acknowledged this, just that they needed a counter to iOS so most kept quiet.

                                Now that WP8 is gaining strength, more people are talking frankly about it.
