3gs is not even moving around that much...apple has moved from it way past unlike samsung who continues to use cheap plastic in the name of being sturdy, which is proved false in various drop tests... Kuhahaha:-P

      Average people are just fooled into thinking that widgets are that great... a lazy excuse in the name of second menu because original menu looks even more stupid...

        So much evidence all over the Internet, but Android fansheep have been taught how to lie to them convincingly, till they actually believe their own hype hahaha.

        Seriously, can it be any more obvious? Free your minds from the Android cage, and just be regular tech lovers. Denial is sad.

          Check out the Android prototype called 'Sooner' before the iPhone launch. Not only did they rip off Apple, but before the iPhone they were planning on ripping off Blackberry lololol!

            Anonymous, 23 Oct 2012And iPhone copied its PHONE functionality from all phones that came before it! Yup, and I don't pretend and go around saying iPhone invented phones. Android fansheep however insist that Android was TOTALLY original despite clear evidence on the contrary. Shameless and brainwashed.

                  [deleted post]Hello... The plastic used in your 3g and 3gs are CHEAP ordinary plastic. During those days, they still do not come up with premium materials like the polycarbonate and kevlar. So, whatever you say, it's still PLASTIC.

                      iPhone 3GS fan, 22 Oct 2012How dare you call my iPhone 3GS plastic!?!!You have to believe it. It's PLASTIC! Here's a quote from wikipedia:
                      The back of the original iPhone was made of aluminum with a black plastic accent. The iPhone 3G and 3GS feature a full plastic back to increase the strength of the GSM signal.

                      Now, shall you still DENY it?

                            Anonymous, 22 Oct 2012the real truth between ios and android. apple haters will not mention to a friend to avoid the... moreI've had all the apple iphones except iphone 3S and all I can say is the iphone 5...is no different besides it being slightly bigger than iphone 4S. I am really considering going to android for the next big phone release. I was really disappointed that I paid 1k for the 64gb version only to find that there was really nothing new and if anything even worse e.g. purple flare on camera (Apple told me its suppose to do this...just capture photos without being in the sunlight *WTF?!?*) or the ios 6 maps..(even worse than the first generation GPS that was released ages ago). All I have to show for a 1k phone that is almost $300 more than a S3 is that it's slightly longer with "newer" features that android got 1-2 years ago and slightly better app games...that I hardly use.

                            Seriously...just because you say everything and add "Source : this is not made up, this is straight from a friend who works at a programming company that makes apps"..really doesn't strengthen your argument at all. There's no actual proof this friend actually exists nor does it have any credibility.

                            SD card is a useful feature regardless whether you can run apps on it. My friend uses the SD card hold photos and videos on it AND also back up her contacts list so when she got a newer phone (galaxy nexus), she could just restore everything without having to connect to a computer...install driver...program....etc.

                            IOS update....I don't really justify an extra $300 for some updates and who's to say that android only gets 1 update? my friend with an S3 has gotten 3 updates so far and then plus the jelly bean.

                            In the end, the best phone so far that was released from Apple was iPhone 4S. why? It's different from the 3S by a lot. What's different from the 4S and the 5? It's longer with crappier features. I believe that since Steve jobs passed away, all apple could do is sue sue sue and then release the same type of phone at a higher price. I believe they can do much better than this. Depending on what their next phone is, I'll decide if I want to continue with apple or not.

                                No one disputes that Android has a ton of features, but the denial that its based on iOS is pathetic. I'm an Apple fan, and I for example know that Mac OS originally was inspired by Xerox's GUI.

                                Android fans are in denial. The new brainwashed generation.

                                    iPhone has same old boring UI full of rows of icons and nothing else. As a GS3 fan, the only thing I like about the iPhone is its high price. I'm with AT&T so I upgraded my line and got brand new iPhone and sold it on ebay for $1000. I then turned around and got me a brand spanking new QUAD-CORE GS3 for only $575. I still have close to $200 left after taking out the cost of the iPhone which was $218 after taxes.

                                    Long live the iPhone!

But they’d be so much better if Apple supported them and allowed developers to create them for their apps

                                        I mean comparing IOS to Android is like comparing a flat painting(IOS) to a 3D sculpture(Android)
                                        Because basically IOS is just a highly polished version of the OS they were doing 6 years ago and Android is constantly adding extra layers and those extra layers and capabilities are what makes Android buggier and it's truly amazing it's Apr smooth as it is with all the things it does, but IOS is so smooth because Apple never try much new and just keep polishing the same thing over and over which is easy to do.
