One thing Apple products tend to do well at is they keep their value for longer.

I've got an iPod touch and use OSX but I'm no Apple fanboy, the simplicity of their products is what makes consumers prefer the device, when people ask me for advice on phones most the times I'd recommend an iPhone to them as they just want a phone and not bother with customisation, rooting etc etc and iPhones do that well. Sure you are locked down but the majority won't realise that, they are happy with their certain apps and such.

Then you get users who just buy it for the logo and have not experienced anything else yes these are fanboys who queue up days and nights to have the latest fruit logo product despite being a minor improvement on the previous version and claim to have the greatest phone in the world those type of people I just laugh at.

Now having used a bigger screen since the beginning of last year even if iPhone 5 turns out to be the most amazing device ever I would still not buy it if they stick a 4" screen onto it as for me personally it'll still be small and I can't ever imagine using a phone now under 4.3" unless we have another small is the new big trend in the future.

iPhones are good for what they do, simple to use plethora of apps, simple warranty exchange go into an Apple store and replace on the spot which is excellent, support in store, they do certain things right, but the closed nature of its OS is not for me and why I'll stick with Android as my smartphone, I wouldn't mind an iPad or any of their computer based products but the actual phone nah.

I had two friends I talked into purchasing GS2's because they had nothing but problems with the Atrix -- the biggest was the poor battery life and the constant FC's.
[Galaxy S III General] Wond3r:
I bought an s2 recently, and had it while I had my atrix. The battery life between the two was not so different for me. They would go back and forth pretty much. I ended up selling the s2 after a few months of use and I kept the Atrix. (which is what I am using until the 27th)

I have no issues with it and preferred it to the s2 except for the camera. I dont even remember when I had my last FC. Maybe on the stock rom when I first got it.

My friend with a 4s (and he LOVES IT) even admitted the battery is sh*t.

Most people I know with iphones have chargers everywhere they go so they dont even think about the duration of their battery anymore because they just charge it anywhere lol

car, work, home
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
And you have to remember, that many people never mess with their phones. They only update when they get a message from AT&T or their carrier or Apple to update. That's something that Apple seems to do better. (Having no carrier interference has a lot to do with it...)

So when they see some of these stock Android phones lag, and force close and drain the battery like no tomorrow, they move on to something they perceive as better.
[Galaxy S III General] Wond3r:
But Moto has since released several OTAs for the Atrix since I had the stock rom.

We cant forget that the companies fix bugs too

And most people I know that JUST got an android phone, dont turn off the things that they NEVER use, but tend to really suck battery. If one takes 5 minutes to read the manual or just go through the settings, battery becomes optimized easily

I think there is a strong possibility that they go with a Qualcomm chip. While they always follow the pattern of using the latest iPad SOC in their new iPhone, things are quite different this time.

The A5X is not much more than an A5 with a power hungry GPU built in to push the high resolution screen.

So if you connect the dots. The A5X is too power hungry for a 4 inch 1280 x 720 screen and would cost a fortune to downgrade and die shrink that power hungry super high temperature GPU to power sipping runs cool levels. An A5 that is not underclocked to 800mhz would be the better choice but that doesn't have LTE though.

So the Qualcomm S4 would be the logical choice since IOS 6 doesn't need anything nearly as powerful as it. Either that or a 900mhz A5 with an LTE chip.

Apple never pushes hardware because they are a profit oriented software company first and foremost. Not going to happen especially since they have the Windows phone philosophy of dualcore is overkill.

Do you honestly believe that they are going to go from 800mhz dualcore and 512mb of ram to save battery life to something crazy?:confused:

Although Samsung might force them to use 2gb of ram because that is what they are mass manufacturing right now.

Haha Say what you want but as long as you can get some work done and some sleep while waiting in line, you can make a crapload of money by just lining up. I made a killing off of the iPhone 4s launch. :D

---------- Post added at 09:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

My international GS3 easily has way better battery life than my iPhone 4s but that is to be expected since the GS3 battery is almost Note sized. However, I have heard stories about the iPhone 4 slaughtering everything in battery life but I haven't experienced this first hand because I have never owned one.
[Galaxy S III General] rovex:
Its because the iPhone is SO limited, if all you do is text and call occasionally it will last ages, but if you have no widgets updating, no syncing processes and no 4G an Android will last ages as well. I tried it with my S2 and got 2 full days without a problem.
[Galaxy S III General] pewpewbangbang:
iPhone is so limited you only call and text? is it not a phone lol?

And actually.....the best thing about the iPhone is web browsing battery life IMO. Freaking beast, can literally browse the web all day. Theres push e-mail and syncing etc....so not sure what your talking about. You just setup gmail thru microsoft exchange and voila push e-mail. The only thing would be the no widgets besides the weather widget in the status bar, but even then it's a bit miniscule compared to everything else. Widgets actually don't use that much unless you have friendstream or something constantly syncing status updates form twitter, facebook, etc...

iPhone actually syncs facebook and social media from what I remember and the battery life was still epic.

No 4G? you mean no LTE, which your GS2 doesn't have unless it's the skyrocket?

Honestly, the iPhone is still no comparison to android battery life except for the few phones I mentioned earlier. HOX or SGS3 S4 Krait versions with LTE turned off. But it's solely the SoC.

Anandtech did the tests and showed the HOX S4 3G only capable of over 9 hours web browsing, the only phone matching the iPhone along with the Razr Maxx on 3G only but obv the HOX and S4 was the most efficient solely because of the Qualcomm SOC.
[Galaxy S III General] matttye:
Whilst the iPhone is fairly boring, there are some things it does right.

For example; the music widget in the multitasking tray supports any app. You can control Spotify, music player etc all from the one music control. Android needs integration like this.

Android needs an iMessage equivalent too!
[Galaxy S III General] rovex:
As long as they dont stick an 'i' in front of it.. If there is one way to make a word ugly and awkward to say its to put an 'i' in front of it. All those 'i's would drive me to mass murder.
[Galaxy S III General] Wond3r:
I have just posted the contrary a few times.

How many hours does your iphone get on one charge? I can go two days and charge at night on the second day with my Atrix.

iphone battery life is BAD.

Like I said, people I know that LOVE the phone, admit the battery life is terrible. But they dont worry because they have chargers with them everywhere.
[Galaxy S III General] rovex:
The only reason Androids have worse battery life is that people do more with them. Widgets do actually use a lot more power than is reported in the battery stats, much of the syncing they do is reported as Android OS or Android System, not as the app name.

iPhones can also chew through their battery if used in a similar manor..

---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

Clearly you didnt actually read what i wrote..
[Galaxy S III General] Wond3r:
They dont have worse battery life
[Galaxy S III General] rovex:
They can, doesnt mean they have to.. Its all about choice which Android gives you, and iOS does not.
[Galaxy S III General] sohebq:
i was a fan of iphone until i came to android. I can never think of going back to iphone, i phone has nothing to offer other than being a status symbol. Regarding the battery comparison, well iphone is not running the same amount of background services like android, so how come battery can be compared. I play games on my s3 and my friends plays the same on 4s. lol, honestly, iphone looks kiddish...
[Galaxy S III General] darshanmatharu:
Wow apple vs s3.will someone tell apple to compare itself with symbian os.android is unstoppable even it will wipe out windows one day.
[Galaxy S III General] braintheboss:
From the standpoint of the developer, iphone push is a crap... IOS really is a joke in bad taste...
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
Yeah. OK. :confused:
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
IO6 is a disappointment so I don't see how the next iPhone is gonna put the S3 to shame. Foxconn is late, April's fool was 2 months ago.

The buildin ios e-mail app is a shame compared to the gmail android app.
[Galaxy S III General] pewpewbangbang:
Lol still don't believe others believe android has better battery life than the iPhone.

I've had 2 iPhones, and like 5 android devices now. All the Samsung's except nexus s and now one x. Literally no comparison.

How much usage you say? I told you I would easily on heavy usage of web browse and gaming get 8 hours on the iPhone 4 with around 16 hours standby and still have battery left over. This was all on 3g usage no WiFi connected.

I love android, but it's really no comparison.
[Galaxy S III General] speedyjay:
iOS really is a joke! Whats the difference between iOS 5 and iOS 6?? Wait.....multitasking is now landscape in the web browser! Android has had this since multitasking was introduced so I think I'll buy an iphone for a fresh look......buzzinga!!!
[Galaxy S III General] ThunderWolf78:
Actually I haven't bothered to read all posts in this thread, I kinda got bored somewhere around page four...

There will always be fanboys on each camp, both iOS and Android have their sets of limitations, drawbacks and whatnot... It's good that they both exist because as someone or several has said it's competition that's bringing innovation and price cuts forth, which we, the end users(or h4x0rs) benefit from.

I've used both iPhone and Android quite a number of times, I've jailbroken a 3GS and I've rooted the Galaxy S, S2 and now the S3. I know which device I prefer but I won't go into a meaningless argument about which one is best. As earlier stated, fanboys... It's like two kids arguing about which has the coolest dad/car/whatever. :/
[Galaxy S III General] toughcookie:
I doubt it will even compare. Apple bets on the fact that their consumers will buy the product because it is an Apple product. They wont cut into their profit margin to gain customer

Apple is a fad that is fading the people you see with iPhones now are older people (my parents are on iPhones because its simple to use, but my dad is switching to android when my sIII comes in) or teenagers. Ios will never compare to

android.
[Galaxy S III General] Tomatoes8:
You do realize what you are doing here don't you? You are taking a single core iPhone 4 with a wussy underclocked A4 processor and generalizing it to all iPhone devices while you are taking quadcore or dual core monsters that are clocked super high and using those to generalize the battery life of all Android smartphones.

My International GS3 smokes my iPhone 4s in battery life easily and I owned the iPhone 4s for about 6 months. Is this normally the case? No, my iPhone 4s definitely had better battery than my GS2 and Xperia S but that doesn't mean that the iPhone smokes all Androids except the Qualcomm S4 variants, not at all.
[Galaxy S III General] pewpewbangbang:
And you do realize the 4s actually gets better battery life than the 4 don't you? Look it up on anandtech the tests are there. The only section the 4 does better in is 3d gaming.

I'm only giving an example. The sgs3 battery life isn't far from the sgs2 actually from all the screenshots and tests I've seen, they're fairly similar with the sgs3 being a bit better.

Either way, I still don't think it's much of an argument. It's one of the pros of ios.
[Galaxy S III General] Baconrules21:
LOL.

Also, is it even possible to port over Android to iPhones and flash it on them like a rom?
[Galaxy S III General] densetsu86:
Friend at work hates her battery life on her i4s. And just say your also comparing a phone with a 3.5"screen vs 4.3-4.8" screens and that most certainly kicks the power drain up a notch and the are using battery's that are made for smaller phones. HTC is the worst offender in providing the worst battery life cause they give phones with Lte (also a huge battery drainer btw which the iPhone4 & 4s doesn't have) with battery's that are 1500 mah when they should be using 2100 mah at least.

Plus its been pretty much decided that the phone that has the best battery life is Droid razr maxx with a 3300 mah battery. No current phone really stands up to it.
[Galaxy S III General] pewpewbangbang:
I know....those are all fine details. I'm just talking about battery life though....BATTERY LIFE (that is what the comparison was), so the other company chose to use a 5 inch screen? that's their choice. Battery life to battery life. Your gonna give an excuse that the phone has worse battery life because it's screen is bigger etc...well it compensates with a larger battery does it not? Comparing with what is.....

You'd be surprised that the Razr Maxx does get the best battery life, but it really isn't far ahead, it's LTE actually isn't much better than the One X S4.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5779/htc-one-x-for-att-review/3

actually loses out to the One X S4 and iPhone 4S in 3G only web browsing.

I find most people that hate the iPhone battery life, haven't used an android and it's usually their first time with an iPhone/smartphone. I had a friend that didn't like battery life on the iPhone. He decided to go android, used it for a few months.....was like holy crap the battery life on this is **** compared to the iPhone and eventually switched back.

When I first had the 3GS, I didn't think the battery life was that great. I brought a charger around and stuff just incase because of when I played games for a long period of time etc...Bought the original Galaxy S, was like damn......so that's the difference.

Not gonna continue to argue on about this, feel/think what you want doesn't matter to me.
[Galaxy S III General] clay101eve:
Read to page 2 and quit... Sorry if it's already been said.... BUT:

iPhone users will not have to purchase all new accessories... A simple adapter for 15-20 bucks and bam, most of your accessories will be usable once again. How long this will take is another issue...

Android fanboi, just sayin.

[Galaxy S III General] LowSky:
I haven't used an iPhone or used LTE yet, but battery life for my Droid Incredible is pretty decent, I get about 2 days on light use, and about 12-18 hours on normal use, and about 4 hours if I'm using it to watch videos from the web. I'm using CM7.2, and the original battery.

I'll be honest I haven't heard anyone I know complain about battery life in a long time, regardless of the phone they have. The "hey can I borrow your charger" I do hear is usually followed by I forgot to charge it last night. Sure it isn't like the old dumb phone 2g days when you could get 3-4 days on a charge. But we are also doing a lot more stuff on our phones.
[Galaxy S III General] Tomatoes8:
Haha the 4s in no way has better battery life than the 4. Everybody with a 4s says their 4 lasts much longer.

Bottom line is I can kill my 4s battery easy by turning everything on. On my GS3, I can't kill it at all and go to bed with like 50% or more. No lie.

Try to post an exact copy of this thread at an Apple forum. Do me a favor, I haven't laughed today.
[Galaxy S III General] blueseeker:
iphone5 will probably be a dud (not a good thing for the competition).

iOS6 has copied features from a 2005 symbian phone. Their only way out again to the glory is to implement another exclusive feature like Siri (and I'm 100% sure that they'll do it) or to implement that revolutionary battery tech that everyone talked about last year http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...allowing-iPhones-iPods-hold-charge-WEEKS.html

This new battery will be a game changer!

That quote was so corny.

The last lines were just wth......I feel bad for us users?? I have a quad core?? It has a quad core use it?? Lol not that im siding with apple but those lines were just wth. The extra two cores aren't even used 95% of the time. They only kick in during gaming or benchmarks. Maybe pop up play too but that's about it. Everything else is one core or two at most.

[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
In all honesty, I can't see how the new iPhone will put the S3 to shame. Maybe it will have insane battery life like never seen before? Or it will be faster than the S3? Maybe. But IOS6 turned out to be a disappointment to me. After 6 years in the game, IOS needs a major UI revamp, like what happened with android in Ice Cream Sandwich. Even though IOS works great, it is the same old sh*t all the time so when it's all said and done, when people purchase they new iPhone and use it after a week, it's still gonna feel the same, no widgets, no customization like android, none of that exciting stuff. Instead they gonna introduce some gimmicky, isheep like feature like Siri and people are gonna be WOWed. Apple needs to work on a new UI or else. We shall see.
