iPhone 5 versus Android

[EarlyMon]

If Apple wants to argue that the Galaxy S line resembles the iPhone, what do they have to say about the new iPod Nano's resemblance to the Lumia?

Forget the Lumia - this hilarious picture tipped by our pal IOWA!

:rofl:

Any questions?

 

[OfTheDamned]

All of this reminds me of

Which ones look similar again?

No, that's a joke. Pretty funny though.

more like very sad, even for satire i've never owned an iphone (only ipod touch), but is the call reception really that bad?

 

[Rxpert83]

Depends on how you hold it.

 

[EarlyMon]

I like satire because I like to laugh at my own self. Good satire speaks to all of us.

And reception varies. They had some trouble at the 4 launch, fixed now.

That article is mostly speculation.

We shall see

You mean scams?

Nokia is going to get sued now. Apple's got a patent on that now

Yeap

The article also states that other designs don't target VFPv4 support.

That's not true at all, only true for other Cortex architectures. Source? Same guys.

And many of us already run the S4. Fine processor indeed. Used in US SGS3 and HTC One X phones.

The Apple A6 is likely to excel at graphics. Can't take that away, but its importance will vary by user.

Once again, the truth is not as sensational as the blogosphere would suggest.

The S4 is also custom, not ARM Cortex.

Front panel design? And app layout? Really? Do they both have black bezel? Sure, but the Fascinate also has Verizon stamped across the front and doesn't have just one physical button. The jury in the case was ridiculous to say that these are similar enough to approve damages over.

Also thats a fugly widget

The real problem was the Samsung memo where they talk about changing their phones to make them more like the iPhone -- it was a smoking gun.

As for looking similar, I've had a problem with patent and copyright laws that way for a long time. Apple was given patents that should never have been issued. It is sad that Samsung's lawyers weren't more on the ball and key pieces of evidence were submitted late.

Looks like Samsung is at it again. LOL.

And here is the response from an Apple fan. For starters its pathetic IMO:

Don't settle for plastic, eh?
Well I'd be happier if my Prime had a plastic back and GPS worked a little better.

And here is the response from an Apple fan. For starters its pathetic IMO:

Actually it seems a very mixed message. The list for iP5 is longer, because they say a load of software features which of course the SGS3 has equivalents of, and the top and bottom slogans seem pro Apple. But on every common spec point apart from weight the SGS3 seems to win, and the wording of some of them ("A totally different plug" vs "Standard micro-USB plug") seems intended to emphasise the superiority of the Galaxy. So I'm trying to work out whether this is meant to be ironic or not?

Yeah, probably not, but it doesn't make its point well either way.

Not sure what I should do. I can see the image no problems.

That's why I said it was kind of pathetic (maybe weak was a better word choice), because those stuff it mentioned aren't really things that put it over the SIII because it has them as well, or their equivalents. Notice that they have "panorama" there, No never mind that my Galaxy S1 has had that ever since Froyo. Maybe some better informed Fanboy will make a better counter.

 

[chanchan05]

Plus not to mention wrong info because the iPhone isn't quad core.

 

[Hadron]

Spotted that error

And yeah, now I've seen the original so it makes sense - not ironic, just sloppy.

 

[Rush]

I'll just buy one of this.. iPhone 5 just to see what the hype is all about. If its more than $700 then forget though. Note: I'm not giving up my Android devices, this would be only for personal comparison.

According to this article (The iPhone 5’s New A6 Isn’t Quad Core, But... - The Mac Observer) the iPhone 5 probably contains two dual-core processors and Apple didn't want criticism for calling it something it wasn't truly (quadcore)
