I want the 5S so I'm buying it. "What the fuck is wrong with society (me)?" I just want the phone there's nothing wrong with me. Why does this hurt people so gravely?!



Because IPhones are old tech being overly priced. Lets not also forget about the poor Chinese people that work for apple.


Conviniently forgetting that those same poor people make the device in your avatar?

Foxconn is a horribly place, MS is not building their device their.  not in a place where they had to put up nets, cause people where jumping to there deaths every other day.

i don't want this to become a console thread, but they do in fact use Foxconn. Just about everyone does. It's cheap labor.

fuckers. 
This is why we need a international UN agreement to say, If you don't meet these requirments, You can't join our markets.

We should be better then this.

It's sucks becuase companies have to use it or they can't compete on price. So the UN has to step up to the plate and stop being pussies.

People like to make as much money as possible. They don't care where the labor comes from or the conditions.

 

It's sad, but it's true.

Well I was wrong and now pissed at MS. however like I added to the other posts. Some companies may not want to do this but have to, to compete on price.

I will be writing a letter to MS.

Also the battery on my Note 2 absolutely destroys every measly little iPhone battery I've come across.

Does it now?

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6386/samsung-galaxy-note-2-review-t-mobile-/4

20% less time on WiFi, 25% more on 3G, sadly a no-show for the LTE test. Hardly a decisive win for a device with a battery more than twice the size.


I don't know what the hell they were doing during those so called "tests"

In the real world, the two people who sit opposite me at work have thier iPhone 5's plugged in and charging by about lunch time every day due to low battery.

I leave work at 4pm and I still usually have between 50-60% and I am a heavy user.
