I don't care if they sell 70 trillion phones!

The fact is that, anyone that still thinks iphone is better than Samsung is a CLOWN!

1) "According to Samsung, the Galaxy S3 was able to generate 9 million pre-orders which gave the Galaxy S3 the title of the most pre-ordered device in the history of all gadgets."

2) "What’s certain is that Samsung currently holds the title for the fastest selling device and most pre-orders."

This Versace theory was correct till pre-S2 era.

Samsung has changed a big time. Coupled with Android it does magic. I can't sum up the benefits of Android over Apple OS, wayyyyyyyyyyy tooooooo many.

Besides, SIII got 10 million pre-sale orders. I bet iPhone 6 or even 7 will not be able to reach there.

I was always an Iphone person. Until very lately when I had to go against my emotions and for once try what many other phone critics advised. Honestly, whoever is not using Samsung S3, is missing out on one of the best phones that ever came out. I gotta admit, Iphone is good for those who hate change and like the brand. It is like a person that likes a type of food and eats that food anytime they go out to eat.

-Screen is WAY better for samsung

-Camera, Way Way better for samsung

-OS, well - I find Iphone to be easier, but this might be biased because I have used iphone for the past 3 years and it is the first time I have samsung

-Apps, Samsung Apps are coming a great way! less restrictions to make Apps, which makes them more and better..

-Looks, Iphone looks better to me - Classier

-Music.. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!, I would do anything not to have to use itunes! ANYTHING...

-Iphone functions are very simple.. using Samsung is more like using your computer...I mean for God's sake.. you got wireless charging capability!

Qatarisun, I can't help but respond to your comparison about Iphone Vs Samsung and the China Versace Italy vs china..

You clearly represent the brain washed population. I bet you never owned a Samsung S3 yourself. I can assure you that once you do, you would just slap yourself and say "I am so stupid to have made that comparison" - anyone that buys iphone 5 is a clueless sheep that is more of a technology joke...

The good news for you guys.. iphone 6 will come in Red and Yellow colors!! hurry up go reserve one!

I don't know, because I am more on wide screen tablet so perhaps, just stick on iPad, and for sure right after this iPhone 5, perhaps another new iPad version is yet to unveil soon. Hopefully, this time they provide free items like designer ipad case for their loyal clients.

I am going to pre-order mine tonight from the UK with Orange, who I have a contract with.

The cost for the upgrade = ZERO!

Will get it shipped out and unlocked to use here. Would never in a million years buy one out here at the ridiculous prices they charge.

I will at some point, well I wont be paying anything for it that's for sure.

I will wait until I got back to the UK at Christmas and as I still have my UK contract pretty much every phone is free when I get to upgrade every couple of years. Probably not 5 even though it wouldn't cost much but 4 would be free.

I would never pay the ridiculous prices here for a phone when I can get one for free at home, bring it back, get it unlocked, job done.

I use my phone to make phone calls, and I sometimes reply to a message by a message. I am already disturbed to know that it has a 5 Megapixel camera, that it records video in HD, and that I can visit facebook or hotmail with it. It's a phone. Uh, yeah, and it plays mp3 and wav files. But honestly, who wants to hear music from some squeeky 'loudspeakers'. It's an offense for a musician. And the same applies to the camera and video function!!

Why compare iphone5 with Nokia 3210?...:) With S3 the comparison should narrow down to Mercedes-Benz and BMW...each in class of its own... buy whichever you like. I personally like a Merc...:)

As said, Apple is a premium phone made for those that want something a cut above the rest. Its like comparing a BMW to a KIA, sure they will have 4 wheels...similar horse powers etc but then BMW is BMW.

Iphone 5 for me any time...even if its 4 inch screen, 3 years now i'm still using the 3GS..never had a problem....never got bored of it either.

I don't think the versace theory applies in this case, especially since we are speaking about TECHNOLOGY. If you love tweaking/tuning your phone then go for an Android.

Apple produces high quality but it's not meant for techie wizards (yes, you can jailbreak it, but see what happens if you don't do it right, it'll become a Versace brick!)

Don't think S3 and Iphone5 has that big a difference (Italy and China- Versace)... but then that would be talking in technical terms. Anyways, I do not intend buying an Iphone5 ...instead am thinking to get a few diamonds fixed onto my S3, that definitley would be a head turner if anyone actually would bother to look at my phone ..:)

By qatarisun• 15 Sep 2012 23:55

to compare Apple with Samsung like to compare Versace made in Italy with "Versace" made in China. Not worth wasting time..

I will kill the noise - no smart phone out there has a bigger resale value than the iphone look for a samsung phone from four years ago and see if it can be sold. Then look at an iphone from same time and compare resale value hmm enough said apple doesnt make phones it makes one phone. Samsung makes many phones yet apple still sell millions. Kkkkkkkkilll all that noise!

Note this guys before u make your choice.

Apple will release three different iPhone5s to cater different 4G and GSM technologies. So make your choice accordingly.

I phone 5 is nowhere close to Samsung S3. Lightest phone but only 16gram less than S3. But iPhone has a solid and a premium design. Which encourages more buyers. Samsung will release another phone within 6 months and drop S3 price very shortly. But the iPhone will maintain its price at the same level for another year. On which case you can get rid of your iPhone at anytime for a decent price.

iPhone has a 4inch screen... while S3 has 4.8 inch screen...

there are many more shortfalls for iPhone over S3 but it is not worth discussing after getting a smaller screen.

By anonymous• 15 Sep 2012 13:45

could someone please explain the differences?

By blisteringbarnacles2007• 15 Sep 2012 13:39
blisteringbarnacles2007

why would any sane person want to buy a smaller screen at the same price?

Rest of the specification of the i5 is nowhere close to S3!

Apple is loosing its MoJo...lol

No.

why? because it doesn't offer the "Innovation" they're talking before. It shouldn't be called Iphone 5, instead it should be called iphone4S2. And i am thinking maybe that's why apple is busy suing Samsung and other companies. See the specs of Galaxy S3 and this new Iphone5...
