I have the SII for over a year and everything is still in perfect condition. Also, I paid about the same amount that I would pay for an Iphone, but instead of a small screen and normal processing power, I got a dual core and a 4.0'' super amoled... So good luck to apple with their "premium" materials.

                i think samsung should stop supplying apple with chips. as this is the best way to get back at apple. surely this is the only solution. i know i would.

                    The so called Project Butter, which raises the UI animations' frame rate to consistent 60 fps, is one of the key novelties of Jelly Bean. The Galaxy S III was always really snappy, but now its interface feels even more fluid.

Isn't Samsung a Korean Company? So why are the Korean Courts not biased toward their own?

                          I do think that US courts are biased in alot of things and they are screwed up in most cases but to say that one is biased for taking up for their own when another seemingly did the same thing and noone says anything about it, is well.. Biased

                            You all are straying off topic here this is about two of the most important components of a Apple device processor and eMMC memory with regards to performance.
                            When one look at it from a real life perspective, so far the iDevices performs excellent with the Samsung A5 processor. For them to change that they better have a better supplier which can perform just as good or out perform Samsung (A5 a.k.a Apple Custom Exynos).
                            After all Steve Jobs had chosen them for a very good reason, let's see what happens with this change.

It is pretty obviously that this won't happen, i was just nostalgic about the old times of G3, when Motorola was the CPU supplier for Apple.

                                    Why do you refuse to check the facts and say the same thing in every blog? Please have a look here for the evidence:
                                    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc._v._Samsung_Electronics_Co.,_Ltd.

                                    Based on this fact, it's a bit unclear as to how much real copying and infringement is actually going on. But no doubt some is as all companies do it. Steve Jobs admitted proudly in an interview that he and Apple "...steal shamelessly..."
