Bottom line...The link below is why Apple doesn't need to listen to anyone, especially its competition. I think they know what they're doing. You're not running Apple for a damn good reason. This new "wonderful" HTC phone isn't going to put even the hint of a dent in Apple's iPhone sales. The only thing it may hurt are other android phones.
Not everyone who buys an Android phone hates Apple. Some people really do want a bigger phone... and it's not out of Apple's purview. Why does a bigger phone always seem to translate as a crap phone to some people.
The answer you gave above is the same crap I heard when rumors about a smaller iPad starting coming online.
I never said only iHaters buy android. Some were pushed to get android, others just wanted a "free" phone with out all the bells and whistles.
I also never said a 5" phone was crap. I said a cheapie phone made with plastic is crap. I also predicted Apple will release a 5" when it feels its good and ready.

Did you consider the 3G/3GS as crap? Do you have your extremely well built iPhone in a case? If so, why?

Compared to the 4/4S/5? You are taking about phones release 3-4 years ago. So yeah if those phones are release now with the same design and components, it'll be crap.
I have it in a case now because I dropped it a few times without a case. Luckily no serious damage but just in case...

What did plastic all of a sudden become crap? Whenever I say "cheap plastic" I mean the actual type of plastic is cheap. High quality plastic does exist.
Very true...its about the experience and it should be the same across the board...something Android has never been good at.
It's not just about the experience, it's about a struggling company streamlining production to keep costs down. Why produce 2 high end smartphones when you can do well with just one?
yes android phones have soft keys - back, home and multitask. it was quite a revelation for me to have more than a single button to work with. plus custom gestures are available too. I just think a physical home button is a bit old fashioned for such a sleek device. at least on my old iphone it was one of the first things to break.

Android just put the back button in a universal place. iOS also has a 'back' button though it's not labeled as such.

Ok. Looks like you couldn't read the part where I said that iPhones were always much faster because of iOS optimizations, even with half the cpu power. Why is that? Are you being obtuse on purpose? I never said that android was the performance leader, far from it. That's java after all.
Then I think you missed this part: The new iPhone's GPU beats the mali used on the S3 by a factor of 3 on some tests. That's not having a better GPU, that's a "you only buy a S3 and vomit about specs if you are retarded".
Of course, just because android reached 2007 level of iOS smoothness you trolls like to talk as if performance (UI speed) is equal now... It isn't. Like I said, the gap got bigger.
Better build quality than the iPhone? If you are drunk, yes.
You never said that Android was the performance leader? pedromartins: "See? this never happened before, CPU vs CPU the S2 was much faster than the 4 and even the 4S."
I said that Apple has always had a commanding lead in GPU performance. The S3 is not even the pinnacle of Android at this point, so I'm not sure why you're harping on it anyway.
I never once said that Android was as smooth as iOS. In fact if you look at my post history, I say the opposite. Every time. And if you say that Android is currently on par with the UI performance of iOS at any point in its history, then you're admitting that the performance gap is now narrower than ever. You can't have it both ways.
PS - I reported your post because "troll" is a personal attack just like any other, especially when used against someone who isn't a troll. Do you know what a troll is?
May I please read your Dissertation...This is the second time you mentioned it since I been on this site. And the Second time you have been wrong.
I'd like to read it too. I'd be interested to see what TS's research method was, and how he managed to miss basic Android functionality such as the home button.

HTC big mistake is not making this available on all carriers. Having the DNA on VZW and the One on the others isn't a smart thing to do.

Well, I wrote a short dissertation about the OS. If their home button did what Apple's did, I figure I'd remember that.

Did you never wonder why they gave you an 'F' for your dissertation?

Did you get an 'F'?
Of course he did or else he would've been Dr. Tallest Skil lol
When something better comes about.
There's always something better. If Apple switched to milled Titanium will aluminum now become crappy?
And TS stop being so sensitive and deleting posts, and to think I came to your defense in the Moderators Behavior thread.
well, no. Both are quality metals. Now if it was carbon fiber...
So aluminum and titanium are of comparable quality?
