Anonymous, 17 Sep 2012iphone aren't even expensive if you consider resale value. ... moreI don't give much importance if a device is cheaper, what matters is that it's not overpriced. Take for example the new Motorola RAZR M, it's way cheaper but build quality and hardware used caters the latest iteration of android. I'm pretty sure it's butter-smooth on JB.

    Why people hate iPhone even it's "obviously" change the world of smartphone and still all other competitors do their best to overcome Apple products. Maybe it does not have all things but it has really very strong OS, amazing performance, strong security solutions, made of real high quality materials, excellent hardware and amazing screen.

      AnonD-72052, 17 Sep 2012open up your eyes apple fans http://versusio.com/en/noki... morehaha! that's so full of fail...
      CPU is compared clock to clock: fail (and actually, A6 is newer). bigger screen size is better: fail. more milliamps in battery makes automatically for longer battery life: fail (with same OS and hardware setup, this would obviously be true). more megapixels make for better camera: fail (although Nokia propably HAS a bit better camera, you don't make the call from pure megapixels). NFC? just plain useless. wireless charging? HAHA! sorry, but even more useless.

      design and build quality? Apple wins hands down. OS? Apple wins hands down (far better third-party dev support).

      what do people do with their smartphones? USE APPS. that's what iPhone has. Nokia/WP8 is good on paper, but i'll reconsider it after few years. i want the most supported OS.

You choose what suits your needs and I'll choose what's best for me.. I don't need an unethical company's device who thinks and chooses what's best for me. I'll choose a phone that caters my needs and can be optimised the way I wanted it to.

I can't compare them, Beats are way overpriced. Some similarities though; some use it just for accessories, they're hype and some bought it because they don't know better. Bose and Apple have the same premium feel and they have excellent marketing. They can't convince me though. XD

                                      iPhones are just overpriced, overhyped and overrated phones that's more eye candy than substance. Its ease of use is a major selling point though. They're like the Bose of the Audio world. (no need to mention Beats here).
