    Anonymous, 18 Sep 2012by ur statment it is clear that ur knowledge of smart phones is vey poor...to apple status is ... moreI disagree. A bad product is a bad product, and people will simply not buy it. Even if they buy it, and it is bad, people will not be fooled twice, yet iPhone users update.

    Apple has created a great product which suits many people very very well. I love tech, and find that the iPhone suits me very well too because it simply does what I want it to do.

    Android is more customizable, but to my mind poorly executed. Very poor security, no unified design element which hurts my eyes, apps appear on iOS first and is more optimized than on Android, fragmentation which in my opinion outweighs the benefits. Of course to others this may not be as important so they choose Android.

    For me, if I didn't use iOS, I would prefer WP8 over Android.

      Anonymous, 18 Sep 2012by ur statment it is clear that ur knowledge of smart phones is vey poor...to apple status is ... moreI was talking half economics half tech.. so no need to tell me about my level of knowing about smartphones.. All i can say is Apple did a great job, making IPhone 5, cant say that Samsungs S3 is bad.. in fact its awesome.. but IMHO i dont want a mini tablet in my pocket.. so i prefer smaller phones, than S3.. And why would i need such a powerfull phone, im not going to run WoW on it.. But thats not the point, i was talking about support.. I have an Samsung Galaxy Gio and a 3GS.. Gio is no longer supported, while 3GS still has support from Apple..

        truly lacking innovation. it is a nightmare where one thinks it has the so called "brand image", it can slow down innovation to save costs but yield profits as much as possible. BOO Apple BOO...Steve Jobs would've not done this.

        Apple executives are bunch of insecure people that they have to belittle bluntly their competitors in their keynote speech. Their speeches sounded propaganduous and I think they are Republicans.

        Dont get me wrong, I've been using Apple products for years, ipod touch, ipad 3, iphone 4 and is happy so far (product-wise). But the way Apple do business, is completely low and disgraceful...

            i am a samsung user, and i admit that i want to switch to iphone5. Yes iphone5 is beautiful and classy. Yes iOS is stable, fluid, and has tons of high quality apps.

            But...
            1. Only 4" display? Come on apple. My galaxy note easily beats you. Is 4.3" or 4.5" a problem 4 you?
            2. Still no bluetooth file transfer. *sigh
            3. File manager is still problematic. iTunes only.
            4. Limited customisation. Even blackberry can change its theme. Even windows8 can change it's tiles size and color.
            5. Nano SIM card? Oh GOD why?! Means that my SIM card will not be compatible to other phones except iphone5

            I'm still waiting for the real review of iphone5. Meanwhile i keep my eyes on galaxy note2

Lame ... moreAgreed, since S3 have been for a while, nothing new was added.. while Apple not only support their new device, the care for the older once.. For me i havent seen any 2009 device that could run Asphalt 7 flawlessly (i was talking about 3GS, not to mention 4 and 4S).. Poor Samsung is struggling hard to sell smartphones, while Apple is wining the race..

                          People love to moan about apple... yet the pre-orders are already incredibly promising. Stick to your rubbish Android devices if apple isn't 'good enough'!!!!

                            Samsung fans getting more and more depressed. Innovation everywhere EXCEPT from Samsung. Lame ads which have already backfired, desperate rumor of earlier release for SGS4, and now almost TWO THIRDS of users wanting to switch to iPhone 5.

                                  http://thenextweb.com/apple/2012/09/18/63-australian-samsung-phone-owners-mulling-switch-iphone-5-survey-says/

                                  63% of Samsung owners surveyed want to change to iPhone 5!

                                  63%! That's even higher than the 32% Android owners who want to switch, which means they are certainly more tired of Samsung rather than Android.

                                  Any witty comebacks? ;)

                                      One of a kind Leica camera to be designed then auctioned off for charity. Honor of designing goes to?

                                      Jonathan Ive from Apple.
