It's because every iPhone owners knows the galaxy SIII is a better cooler phone that's worth the money. while the iPhone 5 is just a slightly better version of the 4s and the 4s is just a slightly better version then the iPhone 4

As an iPhone owner apple need to step it up, or lower there prices.

The iPhone 5 is just as powerful as the Galaxy in a package around 2/3rds the size of Samsung's flagship. I consider that "stepping it up" quite a bit.

If you're talking about iOS, then I somewhat agree but hardware-wise, the iPhone 5 is the best thing going right now.


Hardware-wise, my Galaxy Note 2 would disagree with that statement ;)

I barely consider that a phone. Given its size, it can run hardware that a normal-sized phone couldn't dream of running for more than three hours. Besides, the iPhone 5 still benchmarks higher in early tests:

The Note 2 looks like a great device for a variety of reasons but my god... the size of that thing. I couldn't imagine carrying that around all day.

The Note 2 has destroyed the iPhone 5 in the tests I've seen.

Going from a Galaxy 2 to the Note 2 was a bit strange at first with regards to the size but now after a few days I could never go back.

Other phones seem tiny to me now.

Can this thread be locked? The Galaxy S3 sold NOWHERE NEAR as much as the iPhone 5 did in the UK in October. I know this for a fact.



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

I was wondering why I noticed a lot more people with the S3 now days. It is the best phone on the market so I guess it's to be expected. I'm still using the iPhone 4 on ios 4 =P, I really need to get an S3.

Real sales obviously. I'm not saying it's either way but I would like to see something concrete about the sales one way or another.
