[deleted post]It means that the company remains healthy, despite all the "Apple is dying" propaganda Android trolls keep repeating like a mantra. It also means I will still see an iPhone in 2017.

Android manufacturers are already considering Plan B, WP8 as none are making great profits except for Samsung. HTC and Motorola for example, have both stopped selling phones in Korea due to poor financial results.

Lastly, greater profits means they can continue spending on R&D and produced rear products with great material and build technology. Unlike Samsung, they don't copycat to save on R&D costs.

      iPhone 5 is top on the holiday list. Looks like incredible sales report coming soon. Android manufacturers will continue to scratch their heads, maybe will move to WP8 instead.

Not laggy and terrible like it once was, but it still has some lag but it's RARE and I believe everyone that ever work with Android agree with me that Android always has some lag in daily use. But it offers a lot more features and personalization than iOs and other OS

                AnonD-81967, 26 Nov 2012The Droid DNA has nothing but a sharper screen. Unless someone's a biologist of sorts who look... moreOh really? Than what about that quad core S4 Pro with a much faster CPU and slightly faster GPU and all Android features? It's not as smooth as iP5 in daily operation, but the hardware itself is enough to make it the best phone out there. And the screen is not only sharper, but the quality is there too

                          It's important to note that the iPhone group has relatively same usage habits in that most utilize their phones quite well. Android however have two distinct groups. First group is similar to iPhone in that they utilize their phones well, but there is also a second large group who only use it like normal dumbphones.

                          Research now shows how large this group is:

                              Funny how when we watch futuristic science fiction movies, the technology is always invisible, and just works. No one pays attention to tech specs, they just USE the tech.

                              Sound familiar? Which philosophy is more aligned with this, iOS or Android?

                              Now we know who has a clear vision of the future.

                                [deleted post]You are one of the few Erica Sadun mentioned who are "completely missing the point".

                                Apple's philosophy is that design and user experience are what counts, and tech specs merely SUPPORT the design. Androfreaks merely get hard looking at a list of specs, without even seeing if it does what they want well haha. Sad.

                                  [deleted post]fail! Another fandroid making false claims!

                                  Last time, another fandroid said, the ip5 cannot do networking sharing! It can!

                                  Android does not support your phone to update to any new os beyond 1 year!. As for IOS is 3 years! Yes 3 years! Also Android is not allowing any 512mb phone to be updated to the latest glitched jelly bean 4.2! Why? I have no clue.

                                  http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/11/19/android-4-2-gate-here-are-some-of-the-major-issues-plaguing-googles-newest-release/

                                  SD card is useless as most developers do not develop apps to run off of the sd card. It's good to store photos, videos, and if possible, store some apps, but it wont run.

                                  The other beast phone, Nokia Lumia 920, no sd card. HTC DNA, no sd card, Nexus 4, no Sd card expansion. It's useless.

                                  Stop hating. Why is GSM arena allowing you to this?

                                      [deleted post]Folk know all this when they buy one plus 90+% of buyers are normobs not geeks like here on GSMArena...So the majority of buyers are noobs who talk/text do twtter and social messaging and want a simple to use smartfone..Ask a noob in the street about USB OTG and drivers etc and they will stare at you with blank face..

                                      Iphone is uncomplicated and slick whereas Android is complex and juddery..You dont understand that we are geeks on here and majority of folk are not so iphone sells to the noobs.
