Let there be room for several OS! Its only then that progress is made. Competition has alwais been a drive for creativity and not the other way around. There would not be IOS without Windows CE and other early platforms using touchscreens, there would not be Android without IOS and there would'nt be WP 7.5 / 8 without IOS and Android's success. Let alone the others like Blackberry, Simbian (rip), MeeGoo (rip). In short, please use your energy in the labs and not in the courtyards. People' your clients, are sick and tired of your open battles and dirtbashing sessions. You all have pro's and cons...

True, 13 Dec 2012100% agree iPhone is really a great phone no doubt and I love it too! But iPhone 5 comes with scratches and scuffs in body out of the box :@ slap for apple team. They release just one phone in a single year and they dont know how to make it faultless. Stupid apple team.

They themselves are pretty clueless with regards of technology. They never use their iphone apart from browsing and phone call. And the myth started, they are saying that browsing with iphone is a lot faster even using the same operator... :).But ask them what retina display is.. what siri is... what the processor is... They will say that retina dispay is hd.. siri is video call... processor is a6 which is faster than quad core exynos (maybe they think a6 means 6 cores).... :))

Comparing iOS with android is literally like comparing apples and oranges. :)
Eric stop giving android for free and lets see how far it goes. Simple fact is take customization and freeware advantage of android away and you are left with a very inconsistently performing insecure OS compared to iOS and even WP.

Diqse, 13 Dec 2012Why cant there be peace for God sake? Whats wrong if you ch... moreActually that is what I think as well.. I do not care, I chose Android because it has functions that I need. But believe me it does not work that way in real life. I got mocked a lot by apple users. And their explanation are unbelievably stupid and idiotics. The reason to buy iphones.. One because if you are walking down the mall, people look at you "higher" than android users. Two Android is nothing but cheap products with no advantages (especially if they do not know how to use it). Three Retina Display (in simple terms pixel density) but they use that against Android.. Four Samsung bumped up the price more than the functions added, Apple is very cheap relative to all the sophisticated functions added (the person saying this does not have a clue what specs iphone 5 has)... Seriously? In my case, the iphone users started the arguments and they do not hold back by making your device as a joke in front of their apple user friends. :))

Why cant there be peace for God sake? Whats wrong if you choose an iphone & i choose an android phone. Of course i know that iphone exists and i know the features but i choose an android phone like-wise, you also know that android exists and know the features but you prefer an iphone, then so be it.
If iphone is so good & has the best os, then everyone should be using an iphone (i mean everyone) the same thing goes for android, but that is not the case.
I think it all comes down to preference. Lets all choose the phone we want, shake hands and call it a day.

There can be a good point from any side in this war but bottom line is Android has lots of apps free and it is accessible to any device using Android OS. IOS is used by Apple alone and you need a huge wallet to be able to stay cool with apps.

Anonymous, 13 Dec 2012Looking forward to Apple taking a hit in the market... S... moreIt has hit the market here (Indonesia).. and not such a hit as an iphone 4 was... Mainly due to the high price and little improvements in features (LTE, SIRI are not considered here)... Also many people are switching into SGS 3 due to cheaper price and higher specs. As i explained before many iphone users here do not know what they are buying. The only reason they are buying it because it is very expensive. Many SGS3 users are not SGS2 users upgrading but more Iphone 4S users switching to SGS3

Man, you dont even know, what Android is. You never really used a high end droid. You dont have the slightest clue about Android and talk about people who know what they buy. Yeah you know it is an iPhone, but you have no clue, what it does. You are no smart device user, you just want people to look at you as a fashion statement. To calm your ego maybe, but definetly not because you know what you bought, because you only know iOS, how do I know that, cuz only somebody who has actually no knowledge about smartphones, thinks Android 3.0 is for phones. You know, about everyone who knows a little about smartphones knows what the actual android version number is, what the actual iOS version is, like iOS6 or Android 4.1 or for nexus 4.2 already... by the way 3.0 is for tablet only. But thanks mate, was a lot of fun poking at your comment ;)

Cookie Monsturrrr has a valid point.
Of course Android is selling more than iOS. You can buy £60 phones with Android OS on them.
Android is a free OS that is provided to manufacturers to put on whatever phone they choose.
But are they nice to use? Not really.
