      iPhone - Setting > Sounds > Select Ringtone. Easy.

      If you download the ringtone from iTunes that is. I understand what you are trying to say, but that's not the point I'm making.

      Everything on an iPhone is simple and intuitive. The PIN entry doesn't require you to press "OK", it just validates the 4 digits once they've been entered. This is my friends pet peeve on his GS4. Minor, but for people that switch from iPhone it is super annoying.

      iPhone doesn't have hundreds of settings to tweak and manage, making the day to day operation of the phone very easy. Of course, that also limits it to a certain degree . But then again, the majority of users just need a plug & play phone, they don't ever want to fine-tune it.

                  Anonymous, 08 Dec 2013well said If Samsung keeps increasing the size of their phones they risk alienating people. The S4 is still manageable, but galaxy Note?

                  Plus, Android is just a terrible user experience, non-tech people will continue to prefer iPhone over Android anyway.

                                Lol...Apple is really feeling the heat from the s4... it's just bad news for them,very soon s5 will be out...

                                After all they only managed to ban the old s1 & 2 and some low quality phones only.

                                        If Samsung had innovated, why would they were found "guilty" in the court for copying something that has been already done by Apple? Think of it this way.
