    Article from 3 days ago. Samsung workers underaged and physically abused:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19504381

    When Apple received allegations, it immediately allowed inspections from third parties, and made voluntary audits and improvements. Later, one of the videos against Apple was proven to be faked.

    Samsung on the other hand, is hiding as in the article it is stated that they have not allowed third party inspections.

          Anonymous, 09 Sep 2012yet android continues to grow/dominate.. so u do the math. ... moreJust in case you still don't understand. This research company does a survey, brings in owners of different smartphones. iPhone owners vote for theirs, Samsung for theirs, Motorola for theirs. Lol.

          Their voting does not influence the answers of the other owners.

          Oh vMew you're so funny.

            And how is the survey biased. Think about it, yes, it was iPhone owners that rated their phones highly, it is also Android owners who rated their phones lower.

            Mwahahaha seriously guys, vMew

              whats your argument with android or samsung?? changing to whatever suits u ...
              here cut and paste from your beloved articles.. i know how much u love them..
              " iPhone users rate their devices highest among all smartphone users in all possible categories "
              funny how u leave the small details out huh
              not really denying it though, it is a much more basic OS

              hard to be critical when ur bias from the beginning right?

Lol you are the funniest commenter, no substance, all conjecture. Perfect example of an Android delusional - what you think in your mind MUST be true.

                Notice how Android trolls here merely state 'facts' but you never see a shred of evidence? Lol hilarious even the WP8 boys are onto your games.

                    Anonymous, 09 Sep 2012wow !!! and all u 4s users are going to get another iPhone ... moreReports indicate every year that each iPhone increases sales through new customers. You do realise that iPhone has made great inroads into enterprise and business, while at the same time Blackberry user figures have nosedived. Made the connection yet? Also of course there are iPhone users who upgrade.

                    Have you never heard of SGS1 or SGS2 users who now have an SGS3? Seriously, did you read your question before you clicked the Submit button? This is pretty basic stuff, but considering who posted the question, it's not surprising lol.

How is it that you guys do not know this? You do know that iPhone's market share battles the WHOLE Android market share right? This includes Motorola, Sony, HTC, Chinese brands, and including Samsung's 20 millions.

                        It's simply mind boggling how Android fans do not know this.

                        iPhone 4S sold 4 million on the first two days alone, and it's been a whole year now. Do the math.

                          i mean seriously all u ios supporters can muster up is android is unstable/ look at customer complaints etc etc. ios uses a much simpler os with android not only is it a newer system you have dozens of manufacturers, using countless hardware combinations, making endless modifications to the Android Source code that is where inconsistency comes from..personally id rather a slightly inconsistent OS which btw have I have not yet encountered personally than the same OS which was developed 6 years ago hence why i sold my iphone 4s

                                  What a grateful company Samsung is, they have now stated that Android multitouch sucks compared to iOS implementation. Desperate, shameless and really, back stabbing in nature don't you think?

                                  You fanboys fight tooth and nail saying Samsung is superior this and superior that, then they themselves backstab you by saying Android is inferior.

                                  Lol
