Just called my gf.

Sent her a SMS from my S4 while calling her and told her to check it while we were still talking on phone.

She said 'I can't'. She has an iphone.

If you have an iphone, you have an iphone.

    So apple now supports Open Gl ES3 did anyone say that it is copying android/samsung? So apple's next iphone will probably record 4K video will anyone say that they are copying samsung? Also they went for a bigger sensor to allow more light in and are talking about microns and shit, did anyone say the are copying HTC? You know something? This copying this and that war is stupid and apple is missing out great stuff. NFC, AMOLED, WIRELESS CHARGING, USB OTG. I really want to see an iphone with amoled. Apple's move to release a 64bit CPU on a dual core 1GB ram device which runs an OS that does NOT allow multitasking is clearly to claim innovation. On the other hand samsung's next flagships will probably have 4gb ram and 64bit is essential. Most iphone users don't even know what 64bit means and will only say samsung is a copycat.

      I don't know what the conmotion of apple using 64 bits. Even my motorcycle ECU has 64 bits. That ain't new. To the fact that samsung will do it to is not copy. if samsung is copying apple, then apple is copying microsoft, magneti mrelli and several car & motorcycle manufactures.

              But as a portable/handheld device, if a smartphone can do a bit of browsing, Music and Video playback and some games without any lag,it is fine.

                i think samsung needs to call for investigators to check inside jobs

                remember how htc guys did sell their products tech to other companies for sake of money

                apple is the best for that thing. buying from insiders and release as its innovations before the true creators would do.

                poor nokias touchscreen evolution (from resistive to capacitive) had been kicked to the ass when apple released their so called owned yet stolen innovations earlier than nokias plan to

                  That is a stupid move. It would be appropriate to release a phone with 64-bit CPU if it had more than 4GB of ram, which i don't see happening even next year.

                          And do you even think a fingerprint scanner is new on a phone?

                          Ok, let me teach you about technology. So look here.....

                          1: AMD released it's first 64-bit CPU back in 2003: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/feature/2262881/amd-brought-64bit-to-x86-10-years-ago-today

                          So Apple copied AMD here.

                          2: Intel released it's first 64-bit CPU back in 2004: http://www.pcworld.com/article/116631/article.html

                          Oh man, Apple copied Intel to. That's rubbish.

                          3: Porsche had a phone with a fingerprint scanner back in 2010: http://asia.cnet.com/product/porsche-design-p9522-black-edition-45228445.htm

                          Look, Apple is copying Porsche to lol, where is this going to end?

                          4: Wait WHAT?

                          Apple copied Motorola to. Motorola also had a phone back in 2011 with a fingerprint scanner: http://secureidnews.com/news-item/motorola-releases-fingerprint-sensor-embedded-android-phone/

                          LOL, that's hilarious to claim Samsung are copying others when Apple is the expert in that field.

                          So i'll recommend you Apple fanboys to rather shut up or give us the facts instead of masturbaiting all over Apple.

                              Low tech people.. people who just google and pick the first search result and never compare or THINK -> iPhone 5s processor is crap.

                              Smart people, people think and people who knows -> iPhone 5s processor is king.

                              Sony Xperia T same specs as iPhone 5s ROFL .. the biggest joke.
                              Tip: Google some more.

Thing about copyright infringement is that it stops technology from progressing. This is why companies resort to copying one another. Also, let me just say that the production of a new chip is not something you do in several months, if Samsung announced this then they had plans for it long before Apple's announcement.

                                    I dont remember iphone 5 having it anyway 4K and 64bit are unnecessary and superflous contrary to people comments its not necessary to have a 64bit processor to access 4GBRAM you can do it with 32bit although it's not simple to implement

                                        64bit is the next logical steo for architecture and i doubt samsung have just decided to use it in next phones its probably been looking into it for a while. HOWEVER it is stupid timing considering apple are the first to market this. But it could also be a way of stealing the limelight as well who actually knows how all these companies work. We as users and forum following will only have one side of the story. For apenit is easier to implement due to its os where by samsung will ha e to rely on google for its update to be able to add this chip into its os. If this was nokia or HTC would all the anti samsung haters even bother to post??? Samsung are the worlds biggest phone manufacturer and considering that both apple and samsung are years ahead of the rest in terms of sales and finances and everything else of course they will not get left behind if the other offers something that was already on the cards anyway.
