He's talking out of his butt. Everyone but a true Samdroid knows that Samsung are riding Apples innovation wave, picking up poor souls fooled into believing that you can have something for nothing. Android phone will always be 'like' an iPhone.

Jack's gonna have his work cut out with this one, he's gonna have to employ even more cheap foreign labour to keep up with the replies. This is way too much for one man to deal with, even Jack the Apple spin doctor must be struggling for a valid argument against all of the recent facts about the iphone and its downward spiral.

How much different is the s4 from the s3 ? as far as i can see it has a slightly faster cpu and a slightly higher mp camera. I dont really see any massive innovations between the s2 to s4 like i see no major innovations between the iphone 4 to 5. I'm no teckno geek so maybe the innovations have escaped me but when i looked at the s3 and s4 and the contract price difference i went for the s3. I find the s3 a far better device than my iphone 4 for surfing the net, downloading and picture quality from the camera and screen. The other thing i love is how the keypad disappears when i put the phone to my ear then reappears when i look at the phone. The iphone was a pain for muting or dialing other numbers while i was talking on the phone. The other pain with the iphone is if the home button is held down in your pocket it goes to voice control and starts phoning people, even though the phone was locked. I went to apple and complained about that and was told a future update would fix this. 3 updates later and the problem was still present.
I'm no fan of Samsung and only contribute to these types of threads purely for the entertainment value and provide a 'balance' to these threads. I have an iPhone 4, it does what I need it to do, but I do acknowledge innovation when I see it, be it from Samsung, Apple or any other mobile manufacturer.

There are a few nice touches to the S4 like it being touch free using gestures, eye tracking so it automatically scrolls to where you are looking on the screen and automatically stops video if you take your eyes away from the phone and loads of different sensors measuring atmospheric pressure, humidity, proximity and geomagnetic sensors. You may not see the immediate benefits but developers will soon be releasing apps to take advantage of these features and could possibly provide an alternative to traditional outdoor GPS tracking devices in the future for example.

And put the original iPhone on top of your picture and you'll see where the innovation came from. Deny it all you like, nothing has changed the mobile landscape like the iPhone. Adding bigger numbers and software trickery isn't innovation.
And thanks for the picture, shows just how much nicer iOS is compared to hacked Android.

First's don't come easy Jon and Apple have been first at everything but adding a few bigger numbers. All the features you mention as Android innovation, just software and available for the iPhone.
Look at the construction methods for the iPhone 5, innovative.

But what innovation has Samsung/Blackberry etc bought to the table recently? There hasn't really been any big innovation in the mobile phone market since the iPhone. Phones have got faster, battery life has gotten better, screens have gotten bigger/higher resolution but there's been no big innovations for a while.

The apple iphone was the original smart phone and did change the way we use our phones but it wasn't quite as innovative as the isheep make out. We had PDA's for years before. All apple did was put a phone and PDA together. Its like saying the ipod was ground braking. Not really as we had mobile music players since 1980 with the sony walkman. Once solid state memory was invented and music codecs like mp3 it was obvious it would all come together. The way apple fans carry on you would think they invented the wheel.

All smart phones are iPhone clones. I wish the Koreans would spend some of our hard earned pounds thinking differently but they just pump it into marketing.

Here's the problem, you loathe Apple so you'd never say they did some good. I mean you even call Apple users sheep whilst boasting that Android sells more phones. Have a think about that PDA and how great browsing was on it, then remember that the great experience Apple introduced back then enables you to use your Android today. Credit where it's due.

In what ways is the construction method innovative?

No it wasn't, not even close to one of the first. HTC were making smartphones before Apple even launched the ipod!
All apple really did was market a design that the mass users who didn't understand smartphones would buy! Sure they have had some innovative software and a more friendly user interface than say the XDA which came 5 years before the Iphone.

Of course you are correct, i actually had a samsung smart phone before the iphone came out. It was nasty with samsungs own OS which is why they probably got Google to do that side of things later on.

I wish you hadn't just quoted that sentence rather than the whole post as it makes me look like an isheep context is everything / or lack off on the internet forums

If you'd accept that Apple have changed your life for the better you could spend your energy on positive things, all this hate is not good for you.
I've had Android phones, Nokia and Blackberry too.

The marketing department did an awesome job writing the operating system. You should be slating Samsung rather than Apple, all they did was market Apples ideas.
