This is complete BS. I've had an iPhone since the original model and never had any of the problems you mention. I've never had an app fail to update and have to delete and reinstall it. Not saying that has never happened to anyone but to imply that it happens all the time is just a lie. Also, if I had any apps that crashed every time I used them, I would probably delete the app. How can you use it anyway if it crashes every time?? And to imply that you've never had an android app crash means that you must have never actually used an android phone. I was forced to use one for about a year after I moved and had to switch to Verizon. I had a droid 2 until Verizon added the iPhone. Almost every app I downloaded would have many reviews that said it worked on such and such a phone running this version of android and how it didn't work well on this other phone. I had more app crashes in about a year of android use than in 5 years of iOS use.
Nice try troll but your story is bull
Complete BS? Troll? Aren't we assholes this morning... Whatever. As for the app that crashes all the time, the app has functions 1 and 2. You perform function 1 (no crashes), then you move to function 2, the app exits. You have to restart it. It is not tragic but annoying, and is true on ALL my devices (and started being true on iOS 6, was fine before). The app is very common (NYT crosswords, if you care).
What's with these fandroid losers in every thread!? Man, these lowlife-forms just keep reproducing...... just when you thought that the waters were safe again after the DaHarders of the world got their asses banned, more show up.

I thought it was a great ad. Not good for Apple, but let's fact it, a bunch of scantly dressed women catches some attention. And then they show some neat features that are unique to the phone. Gimmicky perhaps - I always laugh at the phone bumping - but the rib covered hands or suntan lotion covered hands not having to touch the phone has great appeal. And the phrase "some smartphones are smarter than others" will wake people up to look at alternatives.
We cannot be blind to the fact that other smartphones are gaining features that at face value look cool.
You've got to admit, Samsung is innovating. You can certainly argue that Apple implements ideas in a more elegant, controlled and tight sort of way, but iOS isn't exactly pioneering the way in new ideas lately.
As an Android user myself, I pray that iOS 7 brings NFC capabilities so that technology finally takes off. Android has had it for over a year, but until Apple gets it, it just won't be that wide spread.
It's a sad state we are in if finger waving and phone banging constitute innovation. I say this as someone who does not automatically slam Samsumg out of ignorance.
I love tech. I've had three iPhones (the 3G, 4 and 5) and multiple Android devices (Atrix, HTC One X and the Galaxy S3). I currently have an iPad and the S3 for reference.
First of all, any app that matters, is on both ecosystems. Also, 600,000 may be a smaller number, but get real ..Android is not the other guys (Windows/Blackberry).
Otherwise, most of your rant is Apple blind. iMessage? Yeah, I miss that everyday now that I don't have an iPhone..(sarcasm) FaceTime (hello Skype, which works with practically any device with Internet connectivity.
Android issues mentioned..I'd wager you've never had one to know. Sorta of like the Android folks did about antenna gate with the iPhone 4. I never noticed that either.. So as an dually informed smartphone owner let me give you some facts. Malware comes from side loaded apps (ones you don't download from the Playstore). App closes.. The only device that routinely has problems is my iPad. Safari crashes 5-7 times per week.
Updates..the real reason I dabbled in the other side. FACT- IOS updates turn once great devices in to slow, laggy units. iOS 4 did it to the 3G, iOS 6 did it to the 4. iOS 4 made my 3G nearly unusable. These updates DO NOT improve the functionality of the phone but for one update.
Any Android device update makes the phone better or the device doesn't get the OS bump. But at least the update doesn't make the phone obsolete. Which is better suited to people like my parents that may not upgrade every two years.
Quit whining Scotty. Btw, the most useless feature I've ever had on any device...Siri
While I agree with some of what you said about Android, I would also disagree with many of your Apple comments. I agree the app selection is pretty similar. Its still true that many apps start on iOS, but most established apps are on both systems. I also wouldn't miss iMessage at all since I'm not even aware I'm using it on my phone most of the time. It is nice to be able to pick up a conversation on my iPad but I probalby wouldn't miss it too much if it was gone. I actually use Facetime quite a bit with family, but if it was gone we could use Skype. While most malware does come from side loaded apps, it is not true that all malware does. There have been quite a few cases of malware through the Play Store.
I disagree with your FACT about iOS upgrades. First of all is in FACT not a fact but an opinion. My daughter has my old iPhone 4 and my son has my old 4S and both run iOS 6 with no problems at all. The only problem we have with either device is the home button on the 4 is starting to wear out and doesn't always register a push, but the phone is well over 2 years old so I can't complain too much about that. Neither phone is laggy in the slightest. A co-worker of mine has the S3 and has admitted that it is starting to run a little slower than it did before and he isn't sure why. He had a DroidX before that and the original Droid before that and had similar problems after about a year with each phone. Also I'm not sure why the upgrade not being offered to an Android phone is a win in your eyes. At least with Apple you get the choice. No one forces you to upgrade an old iPhone to the new version of iOS but you have the choice to do so if you want.
As for Siri, while its not nearly as cool as Apple wanted everyone to think, I do use it quite often while driving and find it useful in those situations.

I really do feel so badly for them.....
At this point I consider it as proof Apple has something great on the horizon. They are the croaking toads that sense the weight of the atmosphere pressing down on them as a storm approaches in the distance. They are scared. They are confused. They are frightened.
You're right about the iPhone 4. It didn't cripple it the way that iOS 4 did the 3G. It only slowed it down a bit. My response was certainly a bit too reactionary to the earlier post.
IMO, iOS updates miss the mark in several areas. 1) they hold back the progression of the OS itself in attempt to maintain older models 2) they're often misleading (the iPhone 4 doesn't have many of the "features" of iOS 5 or 6) 3) they're not updates with a purpose (aside form selling new software features on the new model only), which is to say that the updates follow a calendar based scheduled, say every June (reveal) September (release) instead whenever the natural cycle would follow. At the moment, tech bloggers are ranting about the release of iOS 7 running behind schedule. Who's schedule? Apple releases products, both hardware and software, when the product is READY. Or at least that would be the smart move.
I'm not a hater of any of the aforementioned companies. The competition is good for me as a consumer. Call me crazy (Tallest), but I liked Apple better as the smaller company. They WERE a company that attempted to make the best products in each niche each and every time. Now they react and attempt abide by someone else's timetables and guidelines more than before..
What hoaxes and lies has he made? You may not agree with his PoVs but that doesn't mean he's attempted to deceive anyone.
Oh...c'mon now...there has been enough proof of his deleting posts that disagree with PoV in the past...it is common knowledge. I don't know why you always defend him..... If you want burden of proof.....then ask TS to defend his original statement. Why are you not asking for that Soli? Why is he not accountable for his statements? If he is entitled to his PoV....then so am I

I disagree directly to his posts often and yet I don't recall any one of those being deleted. I have had posts of mine deleted and edited by him and other mods, but only when I've crossed a line or quoted another poster who crossed a line. I've never once seen him or any other mod simply delete a post because one disagreed with their PoV.

The only Samsung product I own is a Home Theater system. All I'll say is I'll never buy another Samsung product again.
