King Heffy Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 In any event, the whole success of Android OS is solely attributed to Samsung (only company currently in profit for Android-based phones), wait until Samsung perfects Tizen, Android market share will go down so much, it will become irrelevant.

Dogbyte Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Specs are concrete. OS is largely based on personal preference. I absolutely despise the lack of customizability on IOS and find Itunes to be an infuriating program to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marleau_12 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 After owning an S3, using an iPhone seems like a joke to me. The screens are friggin tiny for one thing lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papayas Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 lol@ whoever thought apple product sux. Apples' products may not have the best spec out there in the market, but they have the best customer care in the market out there by far. Their quality control is also miles better than most of the other brands out there. I once got my 12 years old iphone replaced with a brand new iphone because there was a battery draining problem. Good luck with mailing your Samsung or Moto cell phones back to the factory and hope they can fix the phone for you in 2 weeks. I hate how the "budget" iphone looks tho...

AppleMrHan Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 12 month old? The original Iphone came out in 2007, which is about 6-7 years ago. Anyways, when a Samsung battery stops draining, you can buy a new battery for $20. You don't need to replace the phone. They make removable batteries.

nux4lyfe Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Why is it always the non-Apple users talking smack? to each their own, If your compensating a bigger screen for something else, so be it, whatever helps you sleep at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violator Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 FYI: Enlarge This Image David Gray/Reuters Auret van Heerden, president of the Fair Labor Association, visited a Chinese supplier. Related Critics Question Record of Monitor Selected by Apple (February 14, 2012) Bits Blog: Apple Asks Outside Group to Inspect Factories (February 13, 2012) According to reports by several news organizations, Auret van Heerden, president of the Fair Labor Association, said Foxconn’s “facilities are first-class” and “Foxconn is really not a sweatshop.” Mr. van Heerden’s apparent praise of conditions at Foxconn came despite previous reports of employees committing suicide, dying in factory explosions and complaining of sometimes working more than 70 hours a week. Mr. van Heerden, who is traveling with the Fair Labor Association’s team in China, could not be reached for comment on Thursday. But the group’s No. 2 official, Jorge Perez-Lopez, said, “The work we’re doing at Foxconn is not about first impressions or whether something has a paint job or not.” “The proof,” Mr. Perez-Lopez continued, “will be in the pie, will be in the eating. It will be when the report comes out.” When Timothy D. Cook, Apple’s chief executive, announced the inspections earlier this week, he said, “We’ve asked the F.L.A. to independently assess the performance of our largest suppliers.” According to Reuters, Mr. van Heerden said Foxconn’s “physical conditions are way, way above average of the norm” for factories in China. “I was very surprised when I walked onto the floor at Foxconn, how tranquil it is compared with a garment factory,” Mr. van Heerden said, according to the Reuters report. “So the problems are not the intensity and burnout and pressure-cooker environment you have in a garment factory. It’s more a function of monotony, of boredom, of alienation perhaps.” He said his team of 30 monitors would interview tens of thousands of workers at Foxconn, which assembles major Apple products like the iPhone and the iPad at three huge factories in China. In an NPR report, Mr. van Heerden said, “Workers are very outspoken and they’re not intimidated at all.” Human rights advocates have long said that Foxconn City’s 230,000 employees are subjected to long hours, coerced overtime and harsh working conditions, all of which Foxconn disputes. The working conditions at Apple’s suppliers were the subject of articles published last month by The New York Times. Officials from several labor groups said on Thursday that they were surprised and dismayed by Mr. van Heerden’s comments. “Generally, in a labor rights investigation, the findings come after the evidence is gathered, not the other way around,” said Scott Nova, executive director of the Workers Rights Consortium, a university-backed group that monitors apparel factories worldwide. “I’m amazed that the F.L.A. would give one of the most notoriously abusive factories in the world a clean bill of health — based, it appears, on nothing more than a guided tour provided by the owner,” he added. “If the F.L.A. wants to convince people that it can somehow conduct an impartial investigation of Apple, despite being funded by Apple, this is not a good way to start.” Heather White, the founder of Verite, another monitoring group, said Mr. van Heerden’s remarks appeared hasty. “That he would make any comments prior to workers being interviewed off-site in a confidential environment is somewhat premature, to say the least,” she said. “He doesn’t speak Chinese and he is not a trained auditor qualified to make quick assessments.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangelos Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Going to buy 5S. I do not get people who talk about more RAM or higher resolution on a phone. Human eye has limitations and we have already reached them (300 limit vs iPhone 4 326 ppi). Retina display is more than enough and provides an amazing quality of picture. More RAM on Android? So what? Its all about operating system, stability and utilization of that memory. iPhone iOS is efficient with its use of RAM, I have no lag, everything loads extremely quickly, there is no slowdown. More RAM would only serve for bragging rights. Quad core processor? Really, whats the purpose? Now, its octa-core? I have no idea why in the World would anyone need octa-core on their phone. My iPhone 4 dual core loads everything super fast. What kind of multitasking would require an octal-core on a phone? Again, only serves for bragging right mostly. People talking about FULL HD on phone, really? Thats idiotic, I'm sorry, its a huge power drain, which is counterproductive to the PRIMARY purpose of a phone - to last for as long as it can without having to be re-charged. I do not know, I think comparing hardware on phones is silly. The only thing I wish Apple would do would be to have a version of iPhone with a bigger screen. However, its also debatable, as phones are becoming big to the point of not being portable, which is the other primary function of a phone. Anyways, I think having plastic version of an iPhone is a great idea, it will make it more affordable for the developing markets. iPhone hits on the biggest factors of the phone: 1. Best build quality 2. Built around longer battery life and portability 3. Display is sharp and vibrant - retina display 4. Best-in-business customer support and stores are everywhere P.S. Designed in California is the whole point, where it is build (which is China is nothing to be ashamed of really), not sure what is so funny, as a businessman, you invest into production where you can get cheapest cost-for-output ratio, which is currently China.

King Heffy Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I don't see the point of having a phone that large. I would personally only use it as a tablet (if the OS wasn't crap to begin with). I can't imagine lugging that large pylon of a phone in my pocket.
