No, ICS is only a year old. My phone happens to be running an OS that's 2+ years old (Gingerbread 2.3). It's still true that a brand new Galaxy SIII is running an already outdated OS.

As for the processor, it's said to be more efficient and effective than anything else on the market. It functions more on the lines of the A15 Cortex that is supposed to come out soon. I have heard that it's a fast, more efficient dual core than the Snapdragon S4.

Do you think the iPhone is more for girls? It seems like the iPhone 5 and previous models have that feminine look, like the shiny, metal exterior, small screen that's more for small hands, and the os is more simple and easy to use.

While some android phones seem like more of a mans phone like the razr maxx with the DuPont Kevlar fiber backing, and other android phones such as the note and gs3 with huge screens.

Ill sell you my man's phone for $300 in the box.

I've always felt that way about the iphone - a sleek, shiny, pretty phone.

I'm sure the white version is meant to appeal to women but apart from that the discussion is rather silly.

Iphone is the original concept of the modern phone.
Its design is really unique.

Now it's all about the apple environnement.
If you like to pay for everything and go through Itunes all the time to use your phone you're gonna love the iphone.
But all androids phones have that free aspect the iphone will never have.
To me that's the big difference.

Personally I love android, but if you're going to choose a premium phone I would chose the iphone. It will be supported for a long time and will still be worth a lot when you want to upgrade.

I only use budget phones and for that android is great. Too bad apple only offers premium .

i'm an android user and i just bought an S3 myself, rooted it and flashed a fresh ROM and kernel the second i brought it home. there is a learning curve for android that the iphone does not have i feel. it just turns out i'm as obsessive with my phone as i am with racquets and strings.

I got the iphone 5 and the Xperia S for its camera. both are decent.

True...

although I'm glad Apple shows an American company can still dominate.

I have a Mac at home, switched from PCs back when i thought Apple was somehow better, as in more altruistic or benevolent than other companies.

Psyche!

Apple's main goal is profit just like nearly every other publicly traded corporation...

Yeah, Apple's contractor Foxconn was back in the news last week for using Chinese slave labor -- this time forcing students out of school and into factories to satisfy demand for the iPhone 5. The article points out that Samsung and Nokia have similar issues, but since iPhone is the biggest kid on the block, it's gonna get the most attention for stuff like this.

The thing I like about the galaxy s3 is the big screen and all the features.

You are such a troll. There's no way your post is real. What you like about the iPhone 5 is that you can transfer your songs and apps to it? That makes no sense. You can transfer your songs and apps to your current phone that already has your songs and apps on it.

Also, iPhone 4 has iCloud.

Nearly ever other publicly traded corporation?

[Bartelby]

The people who run corporations form an interlocking web of economic and political power that results in renumeration boards that pay their managers veritable fortunes that would have been unimaginable fifty years ago.

Whether the company succeeds or fails the main goal is that the managment gets handsomely rewarded.

My iPhone 5 is coming this Friday!

[JoelDali]

I've used both and Apple simply blows away the S3 for reliability and ease of use. The S3 is so over-rated. The only plus of the S3 is a removable battery. Thats it.

But who fuchen cares, its just a damn phone. So sick of all the phone wars. Cell phones are killing humanity. Fuch Apple and Samsung. Fuch Uncle Toni too.

So Iphone 5 is to phones what Yonex is to rackets? The gender gap is thinner every day though. lol
