Two weeks ago, I became a freshman at Saint Peter's University and upon entering there I noticed 3 out of every 5 people I see own an Iphone. Okay, that's to be expected when simple minds have to follow trends to progress. I have classes 5 days a week and every single day it's apple this or Iphone that. Yesterday in my Principles of Marketing class we discussed brand name and influence a company has on it's consumers. While discussing this another Apple example is brought about.
My teacher said the people of Apple are innovators:what:? Then a girl in my class, she's an iphone fangirl btw said " Apple is changing the charger jack, so you'll have to buy new charger." My teacher inserted see that's innovation. We discussed the iphone 5 and most said they will get it and never explained why. The fangirl said she's getting to say she have iphone 5 and will give her little brother the 4s "BECAUSE IT HAVE THE SAME IOS THE IPHONE 5 HAVE:banghead::banghead::banghead:"
My wtf face when she said that:what::sly:
Now I ask, what is someone like me who love android to do in this Apple crazed school?

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Whether you go with the Galaxy S III or the upcoming LG Eclipse, both of those would be great phones for really showing of the power of android and iPhone alternatives. Both of these phones have some very impressive technologies in them especially compared to the iPhone who is falling behind. I don't know if you have been keeping up with any of the rumors or anything, but it looks like Apple still wont be implementing an NFC chip into their newest device, which will only throw them even farther behind for the future. There is also still the basis of how customizable android really is. Sure you can throw some new picture in the back round of your iPhone and you can change a few features here and there, but none of it compares to what you can do on other phone. You could walk in there everyday with a different ROM flashed and show them how you get exactly what you want. There doesn't have to be any settling or having the same thing as everyone else. We spend so much time on our phones these days, who wouldn't want their phone how they like it?
Ask them to explain how a new charging port is innovation. It isn't innovation is marketing. You change the port so you can sell a bunch of new accessories which consumers have to by in order to continue using the accessories they like on the new device. It's just a cash grab, not innovation.
You will never change them! What I have found is most apple worshipers and yes they are a cult, are very simple minded people. They want to be told how to use there product instead of having the freedom of doing what they want.
Your phone could do circles around there phone and they still don't care.
Anyways I don't think you will every win!
we are just a bunch of consumers and we should talk about technology in a non discrimation way without brand name....

Yea, as swiss said, your teachers shouldn't be using brand names and taking a side either way. My teachers are very careful about that. There are a number of kids with iPhones in my classes as well, and they all text the entire class. And every text message thread, on every phone, looks the same. Terrible.

Well, dude thats because the iPhone is a pretty d*** good phone....now that doesn't justify people asking if the fascinate is an iphone, but it does explain the so called brainwashing. I had an iphone 4 before this, then I ended up moving to verizon and picked the fascinate because it was the best phone available at the time imo. Im not so sure me and my dad would have both gotten fascinate's if the iphone 4 was available at the time. I chose the fascinate because I wanted to try out the android platform and I'm loving it so far. When the iPhone 5 comes out its going to be a tough choice to choose an android phone over it.
The fascinate is fantastic as well but the iphone 4 beats it in battery life and screen resolution imo. If the superamoled+ is as good as they say it is, you can add the galaxy s 2 to the long list of phones I'll be looking at to buy next.
Having said all this, I envision Android and iphone/ios being neck and neck by next year(dual core/graphics/better battery life?)and thats good for all of us.

perfect! 1up
was disappointed they didn't up the screen size.
I'm gonna be honest right now, if they make the iphone 5 with a 4" screen, I'll be getting one. I love my vibrant but it sucks I had to root it and put bionix on it to make it useable. now I have zendroid which is just as good as bionix with slightly better battery. that's only 2 roms out of all of them that I found acceptable. all the gingerbread roms are nice but the battery life is such **** and it's not as stable.
Apple did the one thing that would allow the high end android phone to remain clearly superior..."stick with the tiny screen"
It is painfully obvious when using one of the larger screen phones such as the Galaxy SII that the bigger screen is just a better interface in every possible way.
I think you really have to have your eyes closed to compare somthing like the galaxy SII and the iphone, and choose Iphone.

Some rumors I've read claim that it will be equipped with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4.
I think that a good optimization can make the difference, placing Apple's smartphone between HTC One S and Android quad-core phones.
IMHO Apple will put a enormous capacity battery into the iPhone...
I guess since we're comparing a phone that will be out several months later that doesn't even exist yet; we'll compare it to another like phone... I'm sure the GSIV will put the iPhone 5 to shame then lol.

I cant see that, Apple will want their own CPU in there (and by that i mean a modified Samsung as the A4 and A5 were). It will probably have the A5x.
PErsonally I'm quite excited for the iPhone 5 and what it will bring.
Having had a look at the rubbish minor "new" features for iOS, I'm thinking Apple will have drastically improved the hardware of iPhone 5.
That is good for the whole industry
I'm sure the new iPhone will be excellent. Without new iPhones and new Galaxy's wouldn't it get boring. These companies need to push out great phones to keep giving us great products.

I don't think smarts has anything to do with it really. Rooting and installing ROM's is a whole lot easier than jailbreaking and using it's related tools, etc..
I just think the 'average' Android user and the 'average' iOS user could really care less..
every new device,if the job is done well, is goint to become leader at the time of its introduction it will be same with iphone 6 and then again with galaxy s4, etc.

I think it was a clever move by foxconn. The more people that get the s3 the less that will be available 2 sign up for a 2 year contract on the new iphone and the less orders foxconn will receive . And consequently the less money they make.
I personally think the iphone is easier for people to use who are novices. And it's more stable. However the s3 if you know how can do so much more.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Ok before I get started I would like to stress I am no fanboy of either apple or android... I simply like good products... So no flaming please.
Now down to business, the biggest problem with the S3 (yes I own one) is the fact that samsung (and all non GED devices to be fair) seem to forget the fundamental rule... Optimize the software to run effectively on the hardware. The galaxy nexus (Yes I own one) for me runs just as fast as the s3 in terms of web browsing and general use... Yes the animations are slightly smoother on the s3 but how is it possible for the browser to not have any significant speed improvement??
Fact of the matter is that apple will optimize the iPhone 5 to the extent that it doesn't need the hardware the s3 has to run as fast (rest assured as always it always does, will flatten the s3 in benchmarks and browser speeds).
Apple seem to understand that optimisation is the way forward and this is why the next Nexus is a no brainer... Touchwiz can do all it does but it will never run as smoothly nor work as well as AOSP.
According to USA Today, Samsung lost the vast majority of the substantial patent violation issues in the CA suit with damages of over $1B awarded to Crapple.
Unfortunately, it looks like Samsung is in pretty deep poo just about now. It won't affect OG Epic users, as we are using EOL hardware. But for those of us considering upgrades it might have some impact. I'm thinking long and hard about buying an SGS3 or any other Sammy product right now. They are going to be a mess for at least a year while all of this patent stuff gets worked out.
Anyone else have thoughts on what kind of impact this might have?

According to USA Today, Samsung lost the vast majority of the substantial patent violation issues in the CA suit with damages of over $1B awarded to Crapple.
Unfortunately, it looks like Samsung is in pretty deep poo just about now. It won't affect OG Epic users, as we are using EOL hardware. But for those of us considering upgrades it might have some impact. I'm thinking long and hard about buying an SGS3 or any other Sammy product right now. They are going to be a mess for at least a year while all of this patent stuff gets worked out.

I just want to get a Samsung Captive Glide, switch to Net10/Straight Talk, and call it a day. I have no idea what this means as far as downloading or updating apps or updating the system specs or whatever. But that's all I want until the NEXT powerful Android with a keyboard comes out.
Right now I just have the Epic 4G, and when I get $500 I'll get the Captivate Glide. I hope by then nothing hinky happens when I try to activate then unlock it.
The only effect it will have will be Apple's attempt to go after companies like Motorola & HTC. Pinch-to-Zoom is on every android device, I think and they will most likely use this victory to add fuel to their nuke android campaign.
There will be a lot of change to the android software and a lot of change android phone designs that are rectangular.
And last F*** Apple.
As bad as this could be for Samsung, look at it this way, they could come up with something more innovative than apple ever will. Maybe Samsung will be the first manufacturer to use mini-projectors in mobile devices and follow through with those plans. (And patent designs before release)

Well Samsung has been attacking apple for a while on purpose. Look at the adapter module for their chargers looks just like the iPhone Version. And the phone icon looks just like the iOS version. That's about it.No reason to sue its all about advancing technology. I think apple is just trying to get rid of competition. I love Samsung, I love iOS. But I think I'm loosing respect for apple as $1B is a slap in the face. Instead of tearing a company down by suing them. Apple could just make a phone 10X better and Then Samsung would do the same. It would be a continuous loop. That's competition. OH AND APPLE SAMSUUNG PHONES LOOK NOTHINHG LIKE YOUR SMALL 3.5" SCREEN DESIGN.

How much different can a phone icon look and still be recognized as a phone icon? Was apple the first company ever to make something rectangular with rounded edges? Were they the first to make a user interface with squares? How can they patent this stuff and sue over it? Its the most generic stuff. Ridiculous. And they sued their largest partner, who makes about 90% of the components in the iPhone/iPad. Apple seems to be done innovating. They take features from Android and then try to make them sound revolutionary. Then, they sue the companies actually innovating and make their products delayed or taken off shelves. The iPhone 1 was revolutionary and really made the smartphone market the way it is today (everyone has one, not just geeks or business people). But they haven't done anything since then. They've made the camera better, screen a bit better, and changed processor.

Next thing we know they'll add something to the iPhone like a 4 inch screen and an LTE radio and sue over that

Crapple is just scared because theyre riding this iphone garbage train as long as they can. Samsung will surely slam a future product in their faces. Lets face it, without steve jobs, the innovation is over for them.

Samsung made 3.45 Billion in a quarter of 2012. Do you really think they can't handle a 1 billion dollar advertisement? This didn't kill them.

It seems to have pissed off alot of folks who used to like Apple and their stale, monotonous product line. I have three cohorts who converted to Android and Windows phones as a result of this lawsuit crap. And I can't wait till they announce the iPhone 5 and everyone sees what a big "nothing" it is. The iSheep are gonna look like kids who wake up Christmas morning to find a stocking full of coal...

Dont be silly. The iSheeple will look at that piece of coal and harp on how shiny a diamond they have. ROFL!
While it sucks they did lose, I do hope it doesn't result in a takedown of major phones. Samsung has been releasing some interesting stuff, and I really do want to hold out on getting a new one 'till they come out with a new slider. I can't imagine what I'd choose if Samsung's development was hindered because of this stupid ordeal.

Really no clue about the what...
On hardware I expect some flaming higher dpi screen and as rumors say, larger.... so saying their device goes large but not thick to make it more user friendly etc etc
Maybe something about camera, a few Mb and some faster shot or kinda
Ofc some software stuff we already have, or if we are lucky, something new that we can kang but no idea on a what!

Well, im interested to see what apple have included in the next upgrade! i would never have another iphone though.
I dont think it will be any more powerful than the s3, and from what i have seen it has about half an inch of extra screenage!!
I would be surprised if they unlocked the OS to compete with android and the customisation, but i doubt that will happen!
maybe apple will introduce bluetooth file sharing!!!!!! every other phone has it, why not on iphones? there is a cheap £50 phone at tesco's which texts calls and takes photos. i think its a cheap rubbish Alcatel phone. it has bluetooth.
ah well, ill just stick with what i know and like. Samsung!!!!!
Yes, I expect Iphone 5 to features - 2gb RAM, Quad Cores, 3300mAh battery, 4.65" retina screen and discount 50% for all apps for 2yrs. Is that too much to expect?

Can someone tell me at what GMT time it will start, I want to watch the event. I want to see how they present the so called best phone of the year.
A 4'' phone can have any features, I am not interested. Too small..

yeh im looking forward for iphone 5 but just for interesting. Had iphone 4s, phone maybe isnt so bad, but operating system is totally crap. Couldnt even send files over bluetooth...... android ftw
Here's what I know already:
1) It will still be highly dependant of iTunes.
2) Users will have to wait maybe months for a jailbreak.
3) The OS will basically still look the same as it did in 2007.
4) Still won't be able to backup the device on the memory card (ala cwm).
5) It will still have only one button - no dedicated back or menu keys.
6) You still won't be able to Bluetooth apps / movies / music to other phones.
7) Out of the box it won't just work until it's activated.
8) No removable battery of external memory card support.
9) I could seriously go on and on and on. But I've wasted enough time on crapple.
Please understand, I actually also own an iphone but once you've tasted android, ios is a major pain in the behind. Unless you are a simple person who find it difficult to do anything other than swype left to right.
Man I haven't tinkered with my iPhone since last year. I'm just bored of it and find it cumbersome to do anything on it. Believe me, it works great for messaging and taking / making calls.
I'm still on an older firmware because upgrading would mean hours and hours or restoring and re-downloading hacks, if they still work.
What pisses me off most is all the hype and media attention it gets. The S3 will still be a much better phone but still no media reports about it, on TV at least. Here in Australia all the major news networks have been talking about it's release for a week. Even today there was an ad for the morning news, which will feature the new iphone. Apple have bought out the media I think.

I'm curious about what they have to offer, but I'm not holding my breath.
I hope I'm wrong though, and Apple blows our minds with some awesome innovation and declare it creative commons. Man that'll sure be surprising

Even that I dont beleive it beats the GT-I9305. 4.8 Screen 4G, 2GB ram Quad Core. Only thing it will beat it with is the Battery.and I doubt very much it wil be that High.
So No I dont beleive the new Iphone 5 will beat the New GS3 GT-I9305
and U can guess which one I am getting
The only thing that Apple that have done a great thing that is keep up to date. Samsung never promise on time.
