19 June, 2012
Does this mean more liquidmetal SIM ejectors or a new back for the new iPhone?

Frankie, 19 Jun 2012iOS copying Android? That's a new one. For your information... moreFYI first iPhone came out on June 07 and Android had a BETA in NOV. First Android device came out in 08. tools and goodies? then why can i do things on android that you can't on iOS? i wasn't here to troll but when i saw the comments i responded. Apple sued google? I believe apple sued the oems over what sliding an image? lawsuits goes both ways but android isn't the only one to sue apple... I've phones from many platforms and just stated my opinion. Notice how there are examples when u just said sue. Yes we know apple patent trolls even if they don't win them all.

For your information, android came out 2 years after iOS. by that time, iOS already had an AppStore and all the tools and goodies you see in Android. Apple sued Google for copying iOS and WON. Apple also sued Samsung for copying its products and WON. Which planet have you landed from? Or maybe an alternate reality where everything is the reverse of our universe? I'm no Apple fan and don't support them, but reality is what it is.

      why do they even bother to do a liquidmetal back, when 80% of iPhone user will still put a (CHEAP) plastic on it.
      what's the point???

        The iphone line only have some 9% of the global phone market.

        Although it got some 30% of the smartphone market, the Android having some 60%. Leaving remainder for Blackberry, Symbian and others.

                  Sandisk presented and later sold the Sansa e250,e260,270 and e280 MP3-players built with all-liquid metall case already in 2006.
                  The Liquid metal casting technology being presented a few years before that.

                  But I'm sure Apple invented that liquid metal technology proberly in 2011. Like they have invented so many other techs, even if they being used years before iphone.

I don't know if itunes let you do that on a comp even.

                        Sending files with Bluetooth between phones, as iphone/IOS doesn't support that.

                        Or use your phone as torrent downloader, as Apple have forbidden all Torrent apps from Apple Store.

                        Also u are monitored so apple might turn of your iphone's camera or other if you are at a location at a time where there is a concert (guess the concert promoter have to pay Apple for turning your camera off)

But even if i did i can freely get it lol

You are right, there are a lot of Android hardware out there but that's the thing. I don't want to have the same phone as people around me. And i can customize it to me. In the iPhone 3g 3gs days hardware was bad IN MY OPINION. iOS is boring and restrictive. Instead of having to wait for a jailbreak for the newest iOS i can root and get the newest Android. its just funner.
