the birth a new meme

at least this one has newman in it

After reading a whole bunch of comments i would like to add this: Do you your research and you will discover that the iphone 5 is an S3 with apple stickers on it. Apple paid samsung to use their internals. Not to mention that the new screen technology is also owned by samsung. I'm not an Apple hater by all means but a company that sues another company because "If you squint and look from this angle it kind of looks like our product". Apple have the same issue many different companies are falling into. Same shit different smell. They don't innovate anymore. They match the current best product on the market, slap their OS on it and go "ours is better buy it" and people do. Also if you have been following apple/the news lately you will see that last week their shares droped 20% in one week. I think that shows that people are getting sick of the same thing over and over. Apple was dead when steve resigned.

Resigned... or died?

[darksky34]

looooooooooooool ivan ahahahha

[Madaz]

[Anfanee]

He resigned and passed away two weeks later.

[ctjet]

How unlucky is that

[Madaz]

So you could effectively say working at Apple killed him

[Anfanee]

Most likely.

Apple was the only thing keeping him alive.

As soon as he left, he died.

iPhone 5 isn't quite S3 with Apple stickers, but thats almost what I was looking for: a S3 that was smaller, but didn't sacrifice power.

Processor in the new iPhone is a custom Apple design manufactured by Samsung, not a Samsung processor. Screens were all Samsung, now I think Samsung have been cut back, and its mostly LG and Sharp supplying screens.

All these wankers who think their iPhone is better than all the other phones are deluded. But they're pretty much a copycat of everything else now, which is scary. After years of offering phones that were based on 2-3 year old hardware, they've finally made something current. Imagine if they keep this up and do finally make something better?

Or maybe Samsung et al could realise that not everyone after a good, powerful phone wants a 5" screen, and start making smaller phones that don't suck more than Lindsay Lohan.

keep the big screen and do some battery life research

watching movies has never been more awesome

[SoFreshSoClean]

Yeah, I really can't go back to a smaller screen after having an S3. The size isn't even a problem 99% of the time. Plus, it's waaaay better for reading/browsing as you don't have to zoom as much, and you can hold the phone a reasonable distance from your face without squinting.

Seriously, phones have gone this way for a reason. Our needs are changing.

Battery life is horse shit however.

[bigkevracer]

Thats fine, but my point is that not everyone needs the bigger screen. I have a tablet, why do I need a phone with a big screen as well?

Surely smaller screens need less power too?

[ctjet]

theres a market for both

but battery life is something the both phones and tablets need better performance from

people are far too concerned with pixels and other nonsense

[Madaz]

i want my smart phone to talk to my smart kettle and make me coffee for when i wake up or get home from work is that nonsense

[ctjet]

no actually, that sounds totally reasonable

an app for linking your alarm to your coffee machine could make you BILLIONS!

[Madaz]

filling now with the patent office

the s2 isnt that bad.

and at least other manufacturers have other (current)models available.

the s3 has a small screen compared to the note2...
