The iPhone ads are annoying as fuck. The one with the "your hand was made for this" thing. Omg.
Shut the fuck up.
Lol, yup.

As opposed to the S3 ones where they basically openly bash Apple. Love those commercials.

I do admit they are funny

The headphone jack is on he bottom! *POOFF* MIND BLOWN!

So I heard they're making an iPad mini.

Anyone else wondering where the point of convergence will be between iPads and iPhones?

I dont like Tim Cook's (Apple CEO) "new vision for apple", I really think hes just like that guy from  PEPSI that Steve hired before driving apple to bankrupcy. . .


anyways Steve's vision of apple was something along hte lines of "I want apple to be the most advanced, the new big thing"
and Tim Cook's vision of apple is "We're already the new big thing, now lets try to get every one to have an iProduct"

and that lack of ambition for your product and too much ambition on your sales is going to drive apple to red again. . .
he obviously didnt have the vision of being the most advanced. If he did he would have stopped running apple computers like a nazi and allowed up to date hardware to be used in it.
Apple products generally speaking are always a step behind in technology.
The goal was always present shit in an different manner then which it is already presented.
Repackage and Make it more appealing. Streamline interface to the point a chimp can use it. Dumb down everything more options = more questions = more problems.
You know the reason why only 1 iphone is released at a time. Because If there are more choices it hurts your sales and seems less exclusive.
The galaxy S3 will never have that because samsung makes 10 other phones you can buy that are brand new this year too designed specifically to be lesser versions of it or just cheaper.

Glossy finish with rounded corners. That will definitely make sales.

Let's not get too excited here guys. Due to time constraints I only skimmed a few sentences and from what I read it looked like they were just rattling off the reasons why the iPhone screen SHOULD be better and were stating it as fact. My bad. I know I should read the whole article before commenting.  :-[

Regardless, after having a 4.8" screen, I don't think I could go to anything smaller for consuming media. I regularly swap between my S3 and Thunderbolt and I just can't bare to watch anything on my TB anymore because the screen is too small. Samsung has spoiled me :P

About the time Apple came out with iPhone 4, the screen was the best.

Today, its a completely different matter. Compared to the competitors:
- awkward screen proportions. 71:40? Really? Compared to the new norm of 720p displays with the proportions of 16:9 this is a very odd decision.
- resolution. In the old times iphone used to have the biggest resolution. Now? Every other flagship phone has a bigger res.
- screen physical size. Bigger is not always better. But 4" is just TINY. I'd buy the biggest screen (note2, 5,5") if i had the money. Just because browsing and watching videos/series or reading manga just gets that much better with a bigger screen.
- colors. This is undecided. Iphone has a very accurate color display. But AMOLED has brighter color and much better contrast. Comes down to preference.
- black. AMOLED wins no contest
- brightness outdoors. Iphone wins.

The iphone is better only at outdoor brightnesd. Otherwise the screen is a disappointment. For me the screen is the most important thing. So the iphone5 disappoints me.

Iphone 5 screens are made by three companies: Sharp, LG Displays and Japan Display Inc.

A high res IPS screen beats both of them

Yep. Like the one that Lumia 920 has. 4.5", big res, pretty good blacks, 60Hz refresh ratio and you can even use it with gloves. I'd totally buy that if it wasn't a windows phone.

I don't know, Microsoft is pouring tons of money into making a competitive eco-system, and the specs for the 920 and 8x are pretty insane.

I'm gunna leave you anyway.

I'll be the first to tell you my experiences about the Lumia 920. It'll be a while until I can get my hands on it though.

I'll never buy a windows phone simply because I would be supporting windows 8. Nexus 4 on the other hand. Just tell me when I can throw my money at you google.

o.o wasnt that android? well thinking of because android does use linux as it's base.

otoh i wish they'd start standardizing phone's hardware, having each phone's versions of OS... ugh, specially horrible when a new mediocre phone comes out, support is horrible for custom roms and doubt they'd ever get support.
