AnonD-25541, 09 Oct 2011Who do you think makes the A5 chip in iPhone 4Gs? Samsung o... moredon't make the people stupid, most of the technology inclined people knows that most of the companies uses components that are made by them. What's the big issue on that. Even Samsung uses GPU not made by them, even the processor is not originally designed by Samsung, its Hummingbird processor is based on Cortex A8 architecture designed by ARM. You better search first.

          Who do you think makes the A5 chip in iPhone 4Gs? Samsung offcourse iPhone users really have no idea. At least you can take you're battery out on Android I don't want any company controlling what I can and can't do and Apple is no.1 at that at least.

              xxx, 09 Oct 2011samsung,htc, and motoral beat iphone in all aspect of hardw... moredisagree on "all aspect of the hardware", no smartphone released today that can beat the CPU/GPU performance of iPhone 4s. You add up the camera division where I guess only Sony can match the quality of the photos (sensor+optics). It's not just software application that iPhone is leading the way but even hardwares as well.

                    [deleted post]It doesn't matter how much GPU nexus prime has the problem of android is that its UI does not use hardware acceleration as for windows phone, symbian^3/higher & ios that's why it is lagging. May be they will solve this in ICS lets wait.

                      AnonD-1825, 09 Oct 2011Again android fan who things better specsheet means better ... moreAre you assuming that ALL Samsung fans never had a hand on an iPhone? LOL. Hilarious. I had my iPhone 4 for a couple of months and guess what. Yes, been using SGS1 and now SGS2. The only thing I loved about my iPhone4 is the build, it is really classy. And the other is Plants vs Zombies because with Android I can't get it unless I get it from Amazon App w/c I can do but with repercussions if you "fake" a location coz Amazon Appstore is for US customers only.

                      Wake up, iPhone is no longer the GOD that it used to be. Actually, even Nokia who was literally the phone of all phones is now struggling to even get its back. It simply means that technology is evolving more than companies themselves. One example is Kodak. They ruled for 100 years and now the competition played catch up and are in fact very much ahead. Same thing with iPhone, glorious in the past but something better has emerged.

                      Anyways, what is the point? SGS2 fans are here to save you from delusion that iPhone is still the BIG thing. No it ain't. No more. Either you believe that or not, we will be happy with our phones knowing there is so much to do. Besides, can't convince everyone and really don't have to. If you are content with lower technology then so be it.

                      Outta here now!;p

                          samsung,htc, and motoral beat iphone in all aspect of hardwares!!! these companies lose to apple due to the lack of softwares(apps)!!! If samsung invest more into apps, eventually it will bypass apple! Without the apps, iphone and ipads are useless!!

                              So there are at least 200,000 really naive people. Blows my mind. They prey on the uninformed.

                                What i like is, almost every third-party (exp adobe etc having quarrels with apple) app first comes to ios. Only then on other platforms. So iphone stays the most pampered child in the mobile crowd. So why would ever an ios user feel being let down? This ecosystem is more pleasing than inflated spec-sheets.
