So the iphone 5 has nothing special over the S3 apple is going to fall behind. I in a year imagine where android will be and apple will be trying to play catch up.

Galaxy S3 still the king of the Hill!!!

Agreed. S3 ***** slaps it day and night.

On both cheeks too

From the I-killer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sebastianraven:
The iPhone 5 doesn't have the same power that the S3 has, but the only thing I wish is that the build quality on the S3 was on par. I know the plastic keeps the costs down, but there is something to be said about having a device that is all glass and aluminum.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
720p front facing camera sounds sick but I never use video chat so that's useless haha. Aside from that I DO NOT regret buying the s3 at all
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] meekell:
I'm feeling pretty underwhelmed by the announcement...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
Agreed. I had the 4s before my rezound and damn that thing felt solid

It'll be interesting to see how long it takes for Apple's app base to migrate to the larger screen. Having some of your apps letterboxed is going to take away from the cohesive Apple experience that is so often touted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deleted member 3976874:
i was going to start a thread about the iPhone, the title was going to be "Thank you Apple for making me love my SIII more and more"...

seriously Apple, where's the innovation you talk about.

---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

I believe many devices have HD front camera
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dunderball:
I also wasn't too impressed by the keynote speech. I also thought the 720p front facing camera was pretty sick, although it's something I rarely use anyway.

I was amused when they were touting their maps application, as if Google maps on android wasn't doing navigation and points of interests for years now.

I just can not imagine going back to a tiny 4 inch screen now. Basically had that on my original Dinc forever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
They're still playing catchup with our phones, but that doesn't matter: they have an exiting install base which will overwhelmingly upgrade in the short term and think the iPhone 5 is the greatest innovation ever, while their closed environment continues to keep them happy and secure year after year (i.e., it's a positive selling point and an implicit means of control).

I don't see many defections from Apple over this announcement, but then again, I don't see any reasons to go over from Android devices unless you were already in the market for an Apple phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sprintuser1977:
Once again behind the curve. Epect even more dumbass lawsuits to catch up :rolleyes:

From the I-killer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
I think their biggest update was IOS 6 which included tons of features (catch up to S3 features) that not too many people would notice and use them anyway. The only obvious is the front face camera and 4G, but may drag down by small screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kpkimmel:
I'm no fanboy obviously but it is a nice phone. The specs are decent but nothing innnovative and the biggest downside to me was no NFC. It is in fact the future especially with VZW and Isis coming together.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
They tried to compete with NFC by using pass book where it stored a bunch of virtual credit card and I guess the cashier have to use the scanner to scan the code from the phone. Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
Using glass/metal doesn't mean build quality. The iPhone 4/4S can't even survive a single drop and is fragile, that's low build quality.

Samsung phones may have plastic but are extremely durable and well built.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sprintuser1977:
I've owned 2 iphones. They lost me with the lies, lawsuits, and pretending to have pioneered technology they didn't. Won't go back

From the I-killer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Oh, but LOOK: they have a Map(s-like) application! It's amazing! (Almost replicates Google Maps and Navigation, but) made by Apple so . . . it's brand new and innovative!

Yeah, sometimes it seems that their marketing is for dittoheads, with the same style of living in a soundproof reality.

Only thing that I thought was cool was the HD front facing camera for video chat. Other then that it seems meh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
I still do not understand why people do not get this concept. Same thing with HTC devices. They are heavy, they are bricks and every single one I owned you can find build defects.

In my SGS2, SGS2, SGS3 I have yet to find a defect in the build quality.

WHO CARES IF IT IS LIGHT WEIGHT AND PLASTIC BECAUSE IT IS MORE DURABLE THEN ALL THESE OTHER PHONES!!!!!!!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xXJay_RXx:
Lol thats the comment apple fanboys make. They call our S3 "cheap plastic" phones.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hypertek:
lol people will still flock to the stores to buy these like zombies going after flesh lol

Looks like most of it is just software updates (besides physical differences).. With our phones, when a newer android phone comes out with features, you can expect rom developers to bring those features to us. =p

Wow good luck with that finger print scan! Lol I see a bunch of crapple owners suing for being locked out of their phones. Ha ha ha :eek::D:D:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
yeah! a lot of so called "new" are already existed in our android, like the front facing camera is now can do 720p recording, and can take picture while recording.. come on these already on the S3...they should said, we are now catching up to Galaxy S3....oh the navigation! now it can do turn by turn with voice!! LOL.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mark930:
4 inch screen and turn by turn! Omg! Must get... oh wait never mind android has always had turn by turn and my s3 is 4.8 inches never mind I guess ill pass

Good Build Quality =/= Metal and Glass

dingdingding

People kill me with the whole "iphone build quality is so much better because it's all metal and glass" thing... Polymer materials aren't just used because they're cheaper and easier to produce in the complex shapes needed for modern devices, they're also MUCH more durable. Sure, glass is much harder than most things you'll encounter on a daily basis, but how much use is being able to scrub your keys on the back of your phone and not leave a scratch when it shatters after being dropped once? Sure, the aluminum "bumper" around the edge of the iphone looks nice and feels solid, but metals transmit shock and vibration a LOT more easily than, you guessed it, polymers! And what's the most likely part to contact the ground first when you drop it?

The whole "build quality" thing is nothing but a silly old-fashioned bias perpetuated by ignorance about modern materials. I can't be bothered to try to educate every valley girl who waves her both-sides-shattered iphone 4s at me while telling me the build quality is so much better than my cheap little knockoff S3 (which sports nary a scratch, mind you), but you folks are fair game.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
haha, they actually put the smaller sim card in the commercial. Unbelievable!

I also like how they say they redesigned the iPhone. Wow, really. It is almost unrecognizable. So what they are saying if Samsung would have made a device that looked like what the iPhone 5 looks like they would not have sued because it really doesn't look like the iPhone 4S?

Wonder if Apple patent their new sim card so now they can sue all other devices that use a sim card and say even though they are bigger they look exatly like Apple's.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tummytom10:
I thought I was gonna see the new iphone 5 today so why were they showing off a 4s?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
Apple, you told us that iPhone users did not want a larger screen. So you now went ahead and made the iPhone with a larger screen.

Now I am so confused! Did the users want a larger screen or not! Did you lie to us in the past or did you you just create a device that iPhone users don't want.

Oh wait, I got it. They want a larger screen now because you told them they do.

Wow, those are some special people. If you really cared about your users you would tell them to buy an Android device!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
that's what i call a reversible connector! lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nyjumpman:

This is very true yet the media n today's society doesn't see it that way. Android could have something 2 years old but won't get media exposure or the hype until Apple releases it. I'm in with the younger generation n most people I know are iphone users. You should see the over hype about the iphone 5 on my twitter and facebook.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xxx420:
So not impressed. Same old apple "innovation". Aka copy and catch up. It makes me sick seeing people on twitter saying "i5 is so amazing. I give it 10 stars. Will buy it for sure. " so lame. People are such sheep. S3 is better in every way. Better processor, camera, front camera, navigation, RAM, expandable storage, screen, the list goes on and on. Love me some s3!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ngocdao:
What the build quality "feels" like versus its actual quality when field tested is two different stories. Working in the mobile industry for the past 6 years, ive seen more cracked iPhones than any other phone. Most customers claiming it was a relatively shallow drop and their very first. I experienced this myself when i dropped my iphone 3gs and 4. None of my samsung devices have broke on me yet.

The plastic keeps the phone light. The plastic is more durable than that pos glass and metal. I guarantee you

we don't see things as they are; we see things as we are.

Im just pissed they didnt have NFC. Frankly, Apple adding it to their phones is the only way it is going to be wildly accepted. And when they do, assuming on the next iPhone, the Apple gods will have invented a brand new technology they no one ever had before!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonytownsend:
I just feel bad for people that buy one and don't get experience this phone never had a device like the S3 that everything was perfect. Speed, battery life, we have Wolfson dac in this phone the sound quality is even better.

Was at McD on Tuesday and I had $10 on G-Wallet, noticed iPhone ppl everywhere ( it's all the kids from my school) and then I just placed my phone the NFC thing and everyone was asking me, "what did you just do???" " I said "paid with my phone." "Hooow???" " you need NFC and G-Wallet" "do I have that???" "No, no you don't iSheep(I really called her that)" then walked away with my receipt.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hypertek:
I never had an iphone, My last phone i had it from 2008 to now (htc wing).. but I did have a 3rd gen ipod back in 2004, and i thought it was very cool, innovative for sure. Than i bought a zune 30gb in 2007 or 2008, that I still use all the time , even though they didn't last as far as prodution.

Now I can see that the original iphone was very innovative, and with each release seems like minimal improvements over the last. But with today's competition and offerings from motorola, lg, samsung, and powered by android with the adaptability to be customized, it just doesn't leave the iphone with much innovation anymore. Seems like they are running out of things to improve.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] firsttimer44:
Not supporting the iPhone nor do I have any plans to buy one, but how do you guys know that it is so far behind times? They haven't announced what the a6 chip is nor have they said how much memory it will have. You guys are bashing a phone without any knowledge of its actual hardware.

Now I want to reiterate I do not own and iPhone and have no plans of getting one. But you cannot deny the 4s has a very nice screen and takes some damn good pictures.

I am a firm believe in apples business model. They didn't get where they are without knowing their ****. There's a reason why they are predicting 70% of all cell phones in the near future will be iPhone. Just saying. That's all.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
When they start bragging about charger connector....meaning they're out of idea!! Innovation is something new that no one has, why talking about things that already out there like screen size, 720p video recording, small connector, turn by turn with voice, 4G data, picture sharing, call rejection etc.. the shape is exactly like the 4S, just a bit longer. Go check out some apple fan boys and take a look at their wish list. I will name a few: customization (they complaint that they can't even install a custom keyboard), bigger screen, gps suck, 4s is too heavy, detachable battery and SD card, no Jailbreak for 4s yet....(good luck with 5, no jail break either). No jail break, no freedom. Good luck to all apple puppets!! So some one said 75% of iphone will be used?? are they god to predict this?? is it 75% of MAC computer being used right now or in the future?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] b4silver:
Yah um who on earth said 70% percent will be iPhone's? 19% market share. Not a lot. At all.

I think you misunderstood. Tell me if I'm wrong but I read an article that said 70% of phones in near future will be SMARTPHONES. And unless u live in a box and don't know what android is then the two stats are totally different...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] firsttimer44:
Sorry I misspoke. I cannot find the 70% thing, must have been something I heard. They are predicting 10 million units by the end of September. That's pretty impressive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Well, sure. They have an enclosed, proprietary environment (i.e., iTunes) for existing iPhone owners that remains intact and all those people are rather bound to Apple's business path that's been offered for everything from support to purchases. If they want a more modern phone, the iPhone 5 is their only way to go without the worry - real or imagined - about feeling some pain about switching to another manufacturer's phone. The iPhone 5 is their easy choice, which is right in the sweet spot of how many of them probably view their simplistic phones.

Disaffected or disgruntled Android owners may also move over to the iPhone 5 since it's finally catching up to Android phone features (in part) and is no longer the size of a Droid Incredible (which I love and can still offers more easy capability/usability than any iPhone its size), but I tend to see the initial deluge in sales from salivating iPhone owners who are finally getting some feed tossed into their cages.
