[deleted post]Also, as of this date, Apple still can't figure out how to embed LTE modems into the CPU die, something that both Qualcomm and Samsung have figured out how to do a long time ago.

Qualcomm and Samsung also have their own designed LTE modems. Apple buys modems from Qualcomm.

    My iPhone 5s and iPad 3 are the laggiest devices I have ever used in my life. Apple fangirls are lying to themselves when they say iOS is smooth. It most certainly is not.

          Really? I think these days the ios is the buggy and crashy one. One of my colleagues who's using a 128 gb 6 Plus, said her phone freeze from time to time, and she has to manually free up memory to get it going. And she said her next phone will NOT be the iPhone again. Don't get me wrong, she has been using iPhone since 4s. So should we say the ios users are the iSlaves, tired up in the iHoles? Lol

                  i'm pretty sure apple sued samsung because the touchwiz UI looks similiar to iOS, besides apple PAIDED samsung to produce the processors Apple DESIGNED, i dont see whats wrong if it, i bet samsung begging apple to buy anyway cause no one except samsung themselves are willing to use their own DESIGNED LOUSY EXYNOS processors lol

                              I have never bought any Apple product and I will never will. Apple is the most greedy barstard company out there. I have to say on the opposite side, Google is one of the most generous and innovating one.
