Slug, 06 Jul 2012iAm > In reply to Zack another ignorant android fanboy o... morethat may be true mate but you have missed out what i was really trying to say. you have completely ignored my point.
what i'm trying to say is, an iPhone has THE SAME features like in the android phones once it's jailbroken. yes, you have to jailbreak the iphone first but it's totally worth it since you will have awesome features. we do have the saying that if you want more, pay more.

and the stability of iOS completes it. unlike the laggy android.

a s2 running ICS already stutters and lags, let alone rooted.

plus, every android fan (almost) are talking about customROMs and rooted nowaways. a gs will be stuck w/gingerbread w/out customROMs. same w/s2. stuck w/ICS w/out customROMS.

so, it's not just apple users who want to hack their phones to get it's full potential now.

i hope you get my point now mate.

    Maybe Apple will file a suit to ban the Samsung A6 processor.

So Apple should shut up and quit complaining about breaching patented laws to Samsung. It's like biting the hand that feeds them.

          Who cares anymore. This company is just going to appear in the headlines in about 2 days about some patent lawsuit or banning a competitor's product. Then everyone once again is going to be annoyed. But when the iPhone 5 gets metioned, then all of a sudden Apple fans get excited and forget how rediculous the company your supporting is. Why even bother. Forget the phone in question, who it gets its parts from and so on - the fact of the matter is - why should you even concern yourself with a company which refuses to compete fare amoungst it competitors. People should stop looking up to such companies because the only thing their good at is being pathetic.

              Some comments made by apple and nokia fanboy are really llame.

              Common:"Android lags"

              Duh,you stupid?do you really think at 1Ghz++ they could run like your netbooks and laptops?you must be the dumbest people ive ever met.

              Please use your brains instead of copying what others say.

                btw, i'm not saying that it's only iOS that have those features that i said earlier. what i'm really trying to say is there's no point on bragging those features and customizations on an android phone if iOS have them too.

                  You're probably using a 200 dollar Android phone.
                  Have you ever used a GSIII?

                      Mate your a joke.. iPhone shipped over 60 million iPhone in less time.

                      More reads like Samsung: "geez, that iPhone OS is so smooth, they have all the latest apps over there and their UI is so fluid and easy to use. Lets make a quad core to take the attention off of how ugly and big our phones are cause there is no way we could build a premium device made out of glass and metal in a small package" Apple: HAHA Samsung have no choice but to make CPUs for us cause we so good at software.

                      ----------

                      1: Learn to spell: it's 'you're' not 'your'.
                      2: Unless you own Apple stock, who cares?
                      3: If iPhone OS is so world-beating, why are there more Android phones in existence?
                      4: If quad-core is a diversion as you imply, why would Apple bother to make a quad core phone?
                      5: If Samsung's phones are so big and ugly, why is Apple increasing the size of it's hitherto 'perfect' screens?
                      6: I'm sure that Samsung are completely heartbroken by the fact that Apple are paying them several billion dollars a year for chips.

                        Zack, 05 Jul 2012You want to know the truth between Android VS iOS ? Watch ... moreanother ignorant android fanboy once again.

                        what's that? can't open links w/other browsers? can't have more than a 4x4 row and column ui? what? wanted more widgets?

                        ALL OF THOSE are all supported on an iphone once you jalibreak it. i said this once and i will say it again:
                        an unrooted android phone may have more features than an iphone but once it's jailbroken, it even surpasses the capabilities of almost any android phone.

                        u can put 5x4 or 5x5 rows and columns of iconsand much more layouts. i can put ANY number of apps in the dock, and even vertical scrolling. lots of animations and transitions in each swipe on the home screen, place apps anywhere i want in the screen, have shortcuts to any apps just by (example) tapping the status bar on the top and i'm taken into any app i want. have vibrational feedback when i type, add many widgets, put apps on the lockscreen, have live wallpapers, different icons, change the ui of the iphone itself. put the google search widget on the homescreen too.
                        issues on the back button and home button? that's absurd. it's no problem.

                        and i can do all those things FOR FREE. i can download just about any app FOR FREE, same w/it's tweaks.

                            iphone have facebook integration now also, running iOS6. besides, why the hell would i want those extra sns's for? facebook is already enough. why need more?

                            dude, there are many apps and tweaks that could manage your contacts and app manager issue. it's not even an issue worth descussing.

                            the Spotlight from iOS also supports web searches from Wikipedia or others if you prefer.

                            you're an extremely unsatisfied person. the "jigling" feature on iOS features is much easier to handle. instead of the usual "drag the widget to the 'trash'" feature on android, u can just have to kill each app on their own "X's". which is faster actually.

                            iOS have the pull-down notifications feature on iOS5, NOT JUST ON ANDROID.

                            widgets are not that important. i have seen many complaints about their android phones slowing down and lagging bcos of widgets. plus iOS is more stable than android. would you trade stable OS for widgets?

                            iOS camera is permanently placed on the lockscreen, besides the "slide to unlock" bar on iOS5.1. you just need to swipe it up and "tada!" instant ready camera.

                            Siri is now supported on the ipad 3. there's even this tweak that let's you port siri to ALL iOS devices running iOS5. that includes the 3gs, iphone 4, ipad 2. and even the ipod touch 4th gen. besides, siri can now do a LOT MORE w/iOS6. try saying. "launch temple run" inan android voice dictation. you can ask that command forever but it wont do it.

                            man! all of those features you said are available now for iOS. where do you live anyway?

                                  apple and samsung have a contract stating that samsung will manufacture their hardware. it's not just apple wants samsung to build their hardware but rather they don't really have a choice but to follow that contract until it ends. i bet samsung themselves are also pissed of that the'll have to manufacture the hardware of a phone that they know that is the biggest threat to them.

                                  btw, xcal, im replying this to the person you replied, not you. i agree w/you that there are many more manufacturers out there that can build for apple, not just samsung.

                                      Sound plausible. But not the extent of using a Mali GPU chip I think. Hard to see if Apple would want to move away from PowerVR graphics.
