They didn’t even use a nice gradient.

I don’t recall Apple fans claiming weight to be an actual spec advantage. I remember Apple fans comparing weight to quality. Some phones feel very cheaply made with plastic, and very light. Unsubstantial. The difference is Apple managed to shed the weight while IMPROVING the quality, with even higher quality metal finish and glass. It doesn’t feel unsubstantial, despite being lighter.

I always wonder what those one-handed phone users use their other hand for all the time. I have used both hands on all my phones since the late 90′s – it’s just way faster to do things like typing instead of fumbling about with a thumb.

Of course it is an advantage. Every single iPhone-user I have talked to has pointed out that ‘weight = quality’ when they saw that the 4S was heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S2 and S3.

All of a sudden though those same people now think that weight = bad. Typical Apple fanboys – whatever Apple/iPhone has (or does not have!) currently is better than anything else.

Jokes aside though; it is heavier but also has a noticeably bigger screen and battery. Everyone understands that part.

If you think Apple’s lawsuit vs. Samsung was simply about “shapes,” you’re either buying into the spin or misunderstanding the lawsuit. At issue were four design patents and three technology patents. The latter included the “bounce-back” effect when you scroll to the end of a list, double-tap to enlarge, and the ability to distinguish between one-finger scrolling and two-finger gestures. These are all elements that distinguished iPhone from the phones that came before — not exactly “petty.”

Samsung has shown poor taste in their ads, while Apple has shown how petty it is by suing about shapes. Samsung did copy a lot from Apple, just like how Apple copied a lot from Xerox, HP, etc. As it stands, I’m choosing Nokia.

Apple sits at the intersection of technology and Liberal arts. Samsung is just an electronics company. The fact that Apple uses a very beautiful galaxy as their public Mac background (humanity’s mother ship) and they designed the iPhone 5 to fit in your hand still and they revolutionized the cellular phone with a touchscreen that can use 10 fingers instead of a stylus says it all, not to mention the names they use for their Mac OS and connectors, its all natural and insanely simple. Apple kicks ass. That’s the way I see it.

And Samsung didn’t create that phone, they copied it, which is why it’s better than their crappy ad/s.

It doesn’t take a genius, just a convicted, corporate counterfeiter.
