    AnonD-1825, 15 Mar 2013After seeing big fail galaxy s4 i think apple guys are laug... moreIncreasing the resolution to 1080p alone is way more than what they did to iPhone 5 and their exotic and odd singular resolution nobody uses. If only you knew why they couldn't put even 720p into it, when similar sized Androids had it before (xperia s). How iOS is actually an elaborate magic kit to trick your senses, but internally it can't even handle proper resizing, let alone other essential features Android users take for granted everyday.

    But that's how it is... They ignore, then laugh, then you win. The iPhone had it all. Then it started becoming stagnant... Pure view, apps, ecosystem, better screens than "Retina"... Everyday, the iPhone loses a metric they used to dominate. If you choose to open your eyes and see the trend, or if you want to keep living in the cave, your choice.

    Not that the iPhone is a bad phone, quite the contrary. But it gets on my nerves to see fanboys distort the reality that much.

            It maybe a little old but surely that can only mean its properly tested and not have a maps service that is quite frankly broken and have an issue where the WiFi option greys out and becomes un-useable (as shown here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4310121?start=0&tstart=0) and is waiting on a fix after what I believe is now 3 iterations of iOS 6 and other known issues. I wouldn't be surprised if apple ends up causing its Own fragmentation by users waiting until they know there is no faults with new software before updating. A large amount of android users are not really that worried about what software they are on as they just need gsm services and are not so needy as to have the newest thing right away like some groomed apple consumers. I know there would also be a large amount of iPhone users that also only need gsm services but why use such an expensive handset that has so many known problems and only a years warranty?

But despite the negatives, SGSIII sold in millions and still holds the title as the King of smartphones. I currently use SGNII and love it every single day. It's features are extremely useful especially to my business and board meetings. The outer skin doesn't matter because we cover them anyway with plastics or silicone. What matters are its guts that do the job.

                      Obviously, Phil Shiller is envious of the hype surrounding the SGS4. He is using his position as an influence to produce negative hype. No amount of his bashing can divert the people's interest on this device. They now struggle to cope up with the Android innovation to save the people's eroding interest in IOS devices especially now that Apple stock consistently decline since last September.

                          fonehunter, 14 Mar 2013apple now shaking in fear. ui is old, design is old, specs ... moreApple shaking in fear?? R U serious?

                          I was looking at this phone with great anticipation.. but what is it? REALLY!

                          Its an even bigger phone than the SGS3.. it still has PENTILE matrix with double the amount of green cells..

                          Its about the same performance with HTC ONE and EXPERIA Z.. and - the killer - it uses TOUCHWIZ.

                          Sorry but iPhone 5 in real world will beat it in everything.. and that's before the iPhone 5S... bruahahahahahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAUHDKUBSJHLFBLJEFBJHEFBJHVFHJEJFLEFW

                            Running Jelly Bean on Galaxy S like a boss.

                            I tried iPhone 5 it felt exactly like the iPhone 1-4 only with a better screen and is bit taller. (five rows omg amazing)

                            Android ftw.

Android slows down overtime because it's not optimized as well as WP and iOS. Android is already very fragmented in graphics chip making it hard for developers and some games will glitch/slow on certain phones even on powerful hardware because of bad optimizations.

                                Phil ,it is enough to you now. You have seen the true comments came from the Appel & Samsung users. Being a Senior vice Presedent Marketing at Apple you have blasted infront of all the other mobile manufactures. it is enough to understand where the Apple is standing and the market share. Now without wasting others plan out a most innvative user friendly,at-least similer spect to Samsung SIV to gaing back the market and win back the people for APPLE.

                                    That’s because you have used your crapple only to make and receive calls and nothing else.
                                    Why don’t crapple users compare your icrap with black and white screen phones from 90’s which runs smooth from new to dead and also have better battery life.
