That’s a bit of a broad statement. “droid” can refer to almost any phone running android that is for sale. Are some of them complete shit? Oh god yes. Are the more powerful ones that are running “pure” android actually awesome? Yup.
Apples customer service rocks, we can bicker back and forth all day… Either way like anything else I prefer apple and iPhone over droid and you prefer the opposite. If we all like the same shit there would only be one phone on the market.
Galaxy S 3 has too much shit going on. My iPhone 5 is simple, fast, and easy to use. All I give a shit about. Oh and it fits in my pocket comfortably without feeling like I have a small book in there. I don’t give a fuck about these little “cool” features the Galaxy has or any of the android phones have, like that fast typing bullshit.
Who cares what people like? That isn’t the point. I used to be anti-iOS now I don’t care/have come around. It’s a fine OS for certain types of people.
That does not change the fact that Apple the company (nicely designed and built hardware aside - iOS is eh to me personally) is a POS company that loves to take cheap shots in order to stay relevant.
Android is now selling more than iPhone per quarter. It’s only going to get worse.
Read this a few days ago and I am not surprised would file that shit patent. What I am surprised is the Patent office actually would grant them the patent which people have been using this exact interface in multiple os and devices.
iirc, USA is the only place where Apple wins and possibly can win any of their stupid troll patent lawsuits.
I’ve had an iPhone since the 3GS came out and I’d never want anything else, simple to use less problems then all the other phones on the market, friends with droid phones have extra batteries laying around crakling speakers, and there is just a lot going on, sure all the options are cool but like k20 said I don’t need a small book in my pocket and I don’t need a users guide on how to turn my phone on vibrate or dim my backlight
I never had to look any of that stuff up. I thought “turn volume all the way down” was pretty intuitive for putting it on vibrate, and “slide over a couple screens and touch the backlight icon a couple times” was also pretty obvious.
But Rocket makes a good point…e-magazines (like ESPN Insider) has been using this even before the iPhone came out. So now ESPN has to change their e-magazine? F’in BS!
Good for Apple. If other companies didn’t think to try to patent the technology or the idea, they deserve to get future patent infringement suits against them.
I too think that the iPhone is the greatest phone out there.
To those saying that Android is outselling iOS: Maybe because iOS is only available on the iPhone, and Android is available on… Everything else.
