    Tom-Helge, 21 Feb 2013Haha. You actually shows why we Android users laugh our a**... moreI guess that hit the nerve in a big way :D based on your comment and tone compared to earlier ones, there clearly was something because again you are getting personal and childish.

    Thanks to showing true skin of samsung fanboy, enjoy your android and im enjoying my iOS. No need to continue this anymore when i saw your sudden change of behaviour.

    Still its hard to understand why you are so interested about iOS :) well i could say possessed about iOS you have been talking about apple for hours.

    This is good reason why apple is so big and have huge succeed, even the haters always talk about iOS and iPhone and apple etc. So you guys keep giving apple a LOT of free advertising because you just cant stop talking about apple.

    150 comment already in here , great job! People come to gsmarena and they rightaway see what people are talking about and as usual its apple!

      First world problem... Very amusing!

        AnonD-1825, 21 Feb 2013No, almost all of the video things work now with iOS so no ... moreHaha. You actually shows why we Android users laugh our a**es off on the iOS users when they shows how blind the iOS users are for the reality.

        You are a good example on that. Thanks for proving my point.

        Hint: You still haven't given any good arguments or any facts on my points. So keep doing damage control. The more you do it, the more unserious you are.

          Tom-Helge, 21 Feb 2013And the Symbian users said exactly the same about Symbian s... moreAnd same could happen for samsung :D or any company out there...

          Soon blackberry is number one, they made the whole new OS, so i guess according to you that helps company, so yes lets wait that.

          Or then theres another side, microsoft showed that. They changed current familiar OS too much and now surface tablets flopping and win 8 flopping etc. So maybe microsoft shouldnt change the familiar OS.

            And the Symbian users said exactly the same about Symbian some years ago.

            But again, what did happen to Symbian?

                      What about the other 435739573987 features that are talked about in the rest of the videos. Isn't those important?

                      Yey, maybe 5 new visible features for the users are added in iOS 6 over iOS 5.

                      iOS 6 is still missing several houndred features that Android have.

                        It say that Apple is currently selling good, but that wont last for long.

                        If Apple doesn't change iOS dramaticly in iOS 7, then the downfall will begin.

                        I'm sure you wont believe me, but i said the same kind of things to the Symbian users some years back that Symbian would die a slowly death if Symbian didn't get any more development.

                        And what happened?

                        I'm now saying the same to the iOS users.

                        Tick tock...........

                                EDIT: Oh yeah, way to take the attention from iOS it self to the camera (hardware) to have a reason to not answer on my question about iOS.
