AnonD-1906, 06 Sep 2011Ok then why they can not put 16:9 aspect ratio on their ide... moreBecause Apple sets their own standards. They sometimes don't follow the norm and they're good at it and they do good at it. You don't hear people complaining that the iPhone's screen ratio is not 16: 9. It's still the best selling phone in the world no matter what the haters are saying. The number of people buying the iPhone is growing tremendously every quarter and no single Android phone even comes close to that volume that Apple moves. Geeks oftentimes compare the collective growth rate of Android to the growth of iPhone and they fail to realize that the iPhone is just 1 device while the collective Android number is comprised of 100+ devices.

        [deleted post]20 million people last quarter can't be wrong. Those 20 million people are not geeks who cares about dual cores and stuff. They just want an easy to use phone that just works.

        This is the thing that geeks cannot understand and will never understand. It's not about having the best hardware, it's about the convergeance of the hardware, OS, apps, eco-system and 3rd party support and how well those things are integrated into a device that's so easy to use, it doesn't even come with a manual inside the box. That is something Apple was able to achieve with their iDevices.

          Attention everyone, don't buy other brand than iPhone. There was rumour spread around that Apple is seeking court order to ban every single gsm phone because infringe Apple patent. Apple says other brand imitating the rectangular, candy bar shape of iPhone.

The iPhone's resolution is still widescreen and only the iPad uses the 4: 3 aspect ratio. To say that iOS (iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch) uses 4: 3 is misleading since only the iPad uses it.

Nexus prime will have a 720p display with super amoled plus. Iphone and ipad dont follow the standart 16:9 aspect ratio but the 4:3 one. If their whant to have a bigger screen it will be like a square. Look at the ipad. That aint 16:9 like all android tablet but 4:3 like a old tv.

                  Anonymous, 05 Sep 2011kidding?? Nokia had done worst for recent quarters. WP7 has... morebada is outselling W7.

                  Person on about retina display on bigger screen,it wont make any difference ..

                  Also its taken a dual core proccessor running at 1.2GHz and 1 GB of RAM to finally get the smoothness of an iphone.What i mean is the sgs2 has got all this power yet its only just as fluid and silky smooth as an iphone running 1GHz and 512MB of RAM..Combine that with simpleness and you have a smartfone that everyone can use and its why folk keep buying iphones and 100 million more folk this past year have done.

                  This market boost has come at the price of Nokia/symbian and blackberry sales and thats why android and IOS are increasing.

                    i find it funny as hell to read all these coments that compare the iphone OS to Android OS

                    Both phone OS are brilliant in the way they are desinged. i agree with iOS having the best apps there is no way that people can disagree with that being that apple were the first to do that. but i also know that the fact that android OS can do video calling over your network provider and does not need wi-fi is great and the fact that they do not have bluetooth restrictions is fantastic. i have had bot iphone and samsung galaxy II and found that both phone were brilliant. so weather you like android or apple get over it they are bot fantastic OS's. SO STOP YOU WHINNING.

                        AnonD-1906, 06 Sep 2011Why do you think apple can not put a bigger screen on iphon... moreNo, you are wrong Apple can put same resolution with 3.8" screen, and it's not going to have any problems and it's also still called retina. (read the news, i think that these mobile sites know what they are talking about) engadget, gsmarena etc. i trust them!

                        reading all the rumours it's very likely that iPhone 5 got bigger screen.

                          AnonD-1825, 06 Sep 2011You can do all that with android phone? wow i might get one... moreWhy do you think apple can not put a bigger screen on iphone 5. it because of your stupid resolution. the resolution on your iphone is like the resolution of old tv 4:3. the resolution on android are all 16:9hdtv. If iphone put a bigger screen like 4'' + all the app of your app will be deform. That s what you get for not following 16:9 hdtv standard.

                            Why android fans always try make android market look better than what it really is? i mean everyone can look android market apps from browser and see that these guys are liars, it's far from what appstore is.

The awesome thing about the walkman phones was they had fm radio, an essential feature still not in apple products except for ipod nano! go away and buy your iphone5, you will be sooo cool!
