sounds nice but apple is always way good in performance ....they just have to make larger phones with proper dimentions and call 3.5 n 4 inch mobiles as iphone classic

That's because the software and hardware work so well together for that buttery smooth experience the iPhone is known for.

Too bad, no one laughs at his jokes, cause they are too fruity.

My note 2 is actually smoother than my ip5 myx. Project butter worked. Although ios is very smooth

that is the problem with Android specially Samsung.. they work buttery smooth but after around 6 months.. well the syrup kicks in,,,,, we already have lagging with the S3

Yes that has happened n the past.

well, if you tried 2.3 and stopped there, then you behind the times...funny thing is that I never had that problem on my DROID RAZR or Captivate...of course, I know what I am doing.

Innovation is key which is Apple's specialty.

Oh, you superdelusional iFan...
Do you even realize the chips are being made by TSMC??

10. darac posted on 16 Jan 2013, 09:00 4 5

Yes, but the design is Apple's, genius.
Probably the next generation of Swift

For your info, Qualcomm leading mobile phone chipsets designer does not make (fabricate) their chips.

Mxyzptlk obviously you and I have different definitions of what innovation means. Improving on an existing product or buying another company out is not innovation. Its either some new "I" device with improved specs or could be Apple is developing a Google Glasses competitor.

14. gallitoking posted on 16 Jan 2013, 10:06 2 6

actually it is innovation... look it up

"Improving on an existing product"

15. MikeG77 posted on 16 Jan 2013, 10:21 2

gallitoking forgive me for not being clear enough in my original post. What i meant was SLIGHT improvements such as making a phone with a larger screen or adding 4G are not innovative but you are correct they are an improvements to an existing product.

Come on Apple!
Show what ARM can do and blow Intel a goodbye kiss! Lol

11. Shino posted on 16 Jan 2013, 09:16 2 9

Apple and Nokia are still the only manufacturers who actually rely on innovation and full software-hardware integration. The other ineresting thing will be the new BB, but personally I do not think it will be that impressive. Everything else is just plastic toys from Asia:)

And yet Android rules. Surprising isn't it?

19. jroc74 posted on 16 Jan 2013, 17:52 2

Funny you leave out HTC and Samsung...HTC phones had many firsts for phones. Samsung and their screens....are not innovation? Yea...Samsung makes screens....that other manufactures use.

Your fanboyism is showing.
