- There is a bunch of different screen problems like a flickering, bad screen sensitivity, even yellow marks on the screen or flashing.
- There is bunch of complaints about antenna problems.
- There is complaints about scracthes and dents out of the box.
- There is complaints about Ambient Light Sensor problems.
- There is complaints about various sound problems.
- There is complaints about purple tints in pictures (a.k.a. "Purpel Halo").
- There is complaints about iPhone 5 scratches out of the box.
- There is complaints about WiFi problems.
- There is complaints about keyboard problems.
- There is even a problem called "Light Leak".
- There is glitch called "Rapid Diagonal Swiping".
- There is complaints abou soft, bendy frame.
- There is bug called "Do Not Disturb" which is still not fixed.

I even not talking about Apple Maps problems. Also look what is happening at the moment, Apple is releasing update after update to fix some bugs, but they are even unable to do that properly because each update in exchange just brings few more bugs...

So much mess for a SINGLE device - iPhone 5 !!!

And study shows that Apple iPhone to be 300% more reliable ???

Yeah, right "study"... :D

Mr. Snitch:
Please mention the cracks along the sides of the GS3, and the one's between the speaker and camera. Ohhh, and the 3 month bricking problem Samsung had to fix... Just to name a few.

"The scoring was based on 722,558 combined problems and found that the Apple iPhone was the most reliable smartphone with a score about 300% higher than the runner-up, Samsung."

You're spewing off information that has affected a small minority of iPhone 5 owners. Your bias is showing by the way. That survey is way more credible than any Android, Apple, or other fanboy troll. WE KNOW ALL FANBOYS DEFEND THEIR FAVORITE PRODUCTS TO THE DEATH.

Here's a fix: everyone go to fixya's website and put in complaints for any issue you can think of iphone-related. It'll skew the results closer to reality from these baloney statistics

This article is a shame! I wont you iphonearena to remove it! Its not fair to Sammy! Samsung have the faster and most reliable octacore processor!
Studies has shown that everyone att phonearena is working for apple!!!

Buy an Sammy? How about buy a Sammy. Also I'm not hating on Sammy som much, and I don't need an S3... I have the Note 2 to go along with my iPhone 5. I simply corrected you, so you wouldn't continue to type like a 3 year old dude. I do not hate Sammy, as a matter of fact I'm a huge Samsung fan. However Samsung isn't perfect, and it's device's do have their fair share of problem's/issue's.

YOU DO REALIZE THAT OCTACORE ISN'T IN THE S3!? Please present some real facts to your arguments.

97. Twisted247 posted on 22 Feb 2013, 16:45 0 3

This study is bunk, How can they even compare a Company like Samsung to a company like apple? Apple has what 6 devices, while Samsung has over a hundred I'm sure. So this is a pointless article enough said. But hey it shows the iphone coming out on top so iphonearena publishes it.

16. tusshharish posted on 22 Feb 2013, 12:40 8 7

why people belive so much in apple???
even if you bought it spend money on buying cases and accesories of it and repair it frequently...you can buy so many great android phones in money spending on icrap......
and remember how a women got imirror as ipad for the buying it low...........

any way you are right no one is perfect even apple.....

This must be an conspiracy against Sammy! Im having a s3 for 3 weeks and have never had any problems! Iphonearena!?!

Alan is an Applefanboy!! I can't take this site serious anymore!

Are you saying suck on that to people who hate Samsung?

19. darac posted on 22 Feb 2013, 12:48 4 8

Yes, because this shows Samsung is more reliable than Nokia and other non-Apple brands

26. ZayZay posted on 22 Feb 2013, 13:07 1 0

Thank you for clearing that up.

It's the same glass on every smartphone, and since other brands have been trending towards larger screens, larger screen = larger surface area = easier to break. I've seen just as many cracked Evo's and Droids as iPhones, probably more.

Your comment is useless without statistics on Samsung phones as well, FYI.

154. quakan posted on 23 Feb 2013, 20:23 1 0

So people's clumsiness is Apple's fault? Also other people use that same Corning Gorilla glass as well, so that's Corning's problem.

Holding the lock button and home button together for 10-12 seconds to unfreeze and iphone is something which we have to do for customers many many times a week.

81. darkkjedii posted on 22 Feb 2013, 15:58 2 4

Awwwww shutup! You read the article, 300% sonnn!!!

30. ojdidit84 posted on 22 Feb 2013, 13:23 4 1

I was thinking the same thing myself. Most of the things listed have absolutely nothing to do with how reliable a phone is. This "study" is pretty pointless.

83. darkkjedii posted on 22 Feb 2013, 16:15 2 6

It's only pointless because Samsung didn't win, if they'd won you'd be having a huge "O" right about now. Sooo shhhhhhhh...

117. ojdidit84 posted on 22 Feb 2013, 18:05 1 1

Dude, shut up. If you knew anything about me, you'd know that I am NOT the greatest fan of Samsung phones. I hate Samsung. With a passion.

Weren't you the guy praising me last week in that Apple article where I had a rant about the Android fanboy that was going into every single Apple article and posting useless nonsense?

On to the point on hand, I fail to see where "poor app ecosytem, preinstalled apps, lack of new features & no customizablity" have anything to do with the RELIABILITY of a smartphone.

Now go take your 9th grade, mean girls, Android bashing on to someone who gives a couple f**ks.

Also, the person at BGR that called themselves doing some "math" was incorrect. It's 187%, not 300%.

I hope my s3 dies because of that, because i will get a new one for free! and that in 2 years, unlike apple wich gives 1 year....

This is a fantastic "Study"... number of apps related to reliability...

21. Ninetysix posted on 22 Feb 2013, 12:53 7 3

Oh man..too bad your family didn't participate in the study. Samsung would have been #1!

24. Roomaku posted on 22 Feb 2013, 13:04 1 2

^LOL nice

79. darkkjedii posted on 22 Feb 2013, 15:57 2 3

My... How convenient.

73. zibbyzib2000 posted on 22 Feb 2013, 15:44 0 3

I don't think Sony would be anywhere in the results bro. Since they don't make either phone trolol

42. VZWuser76 posted on 22 Feb 2013, 13:58 2 1

That's kinda what I got out of it. It looked like a reliability report until they mentioned Moto being low rated for bloatware. I have never heard of bloatware taking out a phone before.

43. -box- posted on 22 Feb 2013, 14:05 1 2

^5) most of these "issues" aren't real issues. Much like how Ford gets dinged on reliability for customers not knowing how to use Sync or MyFordTouch, which reporting agencies would give the same weight as an engine failure from a reliability standpoint.
