You are a FOOL! On my RAZR it is BUILT INTO THE PHONE! You can go into the apps drawer and there is no facebook app to be found, it is integrated fully into the OS and has been for some time. Apple is the one playing catchup.

60. QinEmpire posted on 11 Jun 2012, 18:20 2

yeah as I said, bloatware of the packages that you can download from Google play

Passcode and Bookshelf (Or whatever it's called) are also bloatware from Apple, you can't uninstall them and on iOS you can't even disable them or hide them from your homescreen. The only reason it isn't bloatware to iFans is because Apple says it's a new feature, and you idiots totally eat it up, even if you don't use it.

At least on Android, bloatware can be hidden from the app drawer and on ICS can be disabled completely.

Again...WTF are YOU talking about??? If you gonna hate and troll, at least know what you are talking about...

Me thinks you are a prime candidate to see that amazing Youtube video series called Android vs iOS The Truth About Google and Apple's OS's.

I don't even look at it as copying anymore; it really is a case of, "do you have this feature?" and Apple did what they needed to do. iOS6 looks great to me, and that turn by turn GPS that keeps many folks on Android is now a feature on iOS.

44. andro. posted on 11 Jun 2012, 16:38 14

Give apple credit they are telling the truth,these are new features for ios,they are however old features at this stage in android

61. QinEmpire posted on 11 Jun 2012, 18:21 5

old and laggy, redundant feature on android that no one uses..

62. taz89 posted on 11 Jun 2012, 18:31 8

cheap android phones can do live wallpaper while iPhone can't

cheap android phones can show widgets while iPhone can't

iOS is just an OS consists of pages of apps & folders, no multitasking, no live tiles, nothing. i think WP is better than iOS because they do real live tiles while keeping the fluidity & don't make me start talking about jellybean

45. remixfa posted on 11 Jun 2012, 16:41 13

not me too, what?

i realize you like iOS, but my god, 90%+ of those features have existed on android for months to years. for a company that claims everyone copies them, they sure are obvious about their copying.

it wouldnt be a big deal had apple and its local idiot trolls not been stomping around for the last few years claiming apple is original and everything else is a copy.

50. good2great posted on 11 Jun 2012, 17:14 4

remix we are cool... u know that...lol

i was just expecting today a hoard of android apple haters to flood with "obvious" comments...lol of course the updates in iOS 6 are currently on older android OS's ...

its not a disappointment for apple users THEY NEVER SEEN OR USED THESE FEATURES

i guess i wasn't expecting you to join in with the "dead horse" beating...haha

its not that i like iOS/ICS/WP8 its that i was happy to see them add things they should've added a long time ago...

oh, i know :)

but like i said.. its not the fact that they are getting them. Its the months and years of BS statements from apple and the itrolls about "copying" and "stealing" that make it whatever big deal that it is.

remixfa is absolutely correct.. iOS is a blatant rip-off of now what Android is

171. epdm2be posted on 10 Sep 2012, 16:31 0

And Android is a rip-off of Symbian and Meegoo harmattan.

E.g. the swipe down radio-switches wher first seen on the N9 2 years ago and now in (some) Androids (through ICS).

They're all ripping each other off. I'm sure that Samsung is copying Android features into Bada OS.

lol you made my day Remix. now rotten fruit is copying android and iPA is busy writing articles one after another, of this great event. lmao.

I don't get where the article says 200 features for iPhone, when it said Mac OS in the keynote.

dude, don't blame me, blame PA if you want

Siri def isn't useless, and the upgrades coming are certainly welcome to Siri. If you don't use Facebook, that is fine. There are 900 million + who do. The maps is a wash, but it is a feature Apple definitely needed to add. iOS 6 as i stated above looks pretty damn good to me.

172. epdm2be posted on 10 Sep 2012, 16:32 0

"maps whats wrong with google maps"

It's from Google :-)

17. QinEmpire posted on 11 Jun 2012, 15:20 2

jealously jealously.. go away fandroid

19. Fallout09 posted on 11 Jun 2012, 15:26 9

I am all ears... Please explain what I am missing with the feature? In what real world situation would this possibly be utilized where you dont look like a total d-bag asking your phone to launch an app?

34. downphoenix posted on 11 Jun 2012, 16:05 1

maybe if it could just an app in context it could be useful (like if you were asking siri about a restaurant and could just the turn by turn navigation from there) but otherwise I agree.

I'm so jealous that iPhone 5 has some features like my 2-year-old motorola now.

No benefit...Its fun

65. sum182 posted on 11 Jun 2012, 18:49 1

Its simple, since iOS's launcher....well, thack there of, is just a bunch of icons orginized in a grid on a million different pages/folders, you never know where the app you want is. So now you dont have to find it, you can just tell Siri to launch it.....and btw, this was already available on S-Voice =)

68. Mitchel posted on 11 Jun 2012, 19:17 0

S-voice could launched almost any apps on my phone.. Yeah, it's crap compared to Siri when it comes to accuracy & answering simple questions, and slower, it's a hit & miss, but it gets the job done.. :)

154. Aeires (unregistered) posted on 10 Sep 2012, 11:59 0

Sounds like you don't use iOS. If I had to look through 12 pages of apps that aren't arranged alphabetically, I'd just use Siri as well.

16. Fallout09 posted on 11 Jun 2012, 15:18 1

You so lack vision.

21. QinEmpire posted on 11 Jun 2012, 15:31 1

yeah right and I can say many of the features are already on Windows XP/7.
Can I say google is copying? Quit defending lol

22. wassup posted on 11 Jun 2012, 15:36 13

Retarded extra chromosome boy, how do you manage To to use the computer? You are an inspiration to downs syndrome sufferers everywhere!
PS, you're the one defending,

23. QinEmpire posted on 11 Jun 2012, 15:37 1

Look, I'm just replying to your whinning that says iOS copied.

So is slide to unlock, a feature originally found a phone in 2004, copying Apple?

30. Ivan6479 posted on 11 Jun 2012, 15:55 13

Actually Stuntman is correct. All of these features have been available on Android for quite a long time. Apple likes taking features from other places and calling it their own. So congrats your precious iPhone can almost do what an Android can. LOL
