Type in "Apple loses" in Google and see all the cases as recent as yesterday that Apple has lost to Samsung. Research Apples "Price fixing" they were found guilty of.
Anyone that has owned both phones now opens a Samsung, strange...

People are hilarious. So much pride in their phones. Who cares? If you're happy with yours, and I'm happy with mine, that's all that matters. Both of these companies are making BILLIONS off of us. In the end, it doesn't really matter. They get richer, we are happy with technology at our finger tips. Not much else to worry about.

some valuable information about smart phone batteries in general:
"Hmmm... How to help you see what I have viewed in code versus how you have perceived the functional operation of a device.
Consumer grade Lithium-Ion batteries operate in a band of power. The extreme bands are from 2.4 volts thru 4.3 volts. 3.7 volts is consider the nominal or "average" voltage supplied over the power range. And 4.2 volts is considered the "fully" charged voltage level with 2.7 volts considered "empty".
If you use the phone in a very consistent manner and you allow it to get just below 3.0 V and fully charge to 4.2V, the system has a pretty good idea where top and bottom of the usage scale is. So for the most part things are really good and you rarely if ever have to do a deep cycle discharge to retrain the operating system to predict battery capacity.
Now most people who get a new smart phone do one of two things when they first get it. They either charge it like the manufactures recommend or the use it till the phone drops below 10% or even dead then charge it. If they hit the second condition, they just did a deep cycle charge and odds are they are good to go and it works as I recommend. But if they do what the manufactures recommends the first time and then they never let the charge drop below 3.3 volts for the first few days, the operating system thinks that is the bottom and then adjusts the scale accordingly. And then you have a misreading of how much charge the battery can hold and all of the sudden the phone looks like it has terrible battery life when you go to use it extensively. This condition can occur in as few as 3 days of data collection. But if you just once let it get below 3.0 and then fully charge, odds are no issue.
The other thing to note here, you will also notice huge battery drop off if your cellular signal goes to *bleep*. Because your cellular radio suddenly has to go from 1/4 of a watt to say 3/4 of watt to get a signal. Even though your battery and the stats behind it are spot on, the usage time will drop dramatically.
So odds are you haven't hit any of the conditions that causes the operating system to incorrectly predict the batteries capacity because your usage pattern allows it to get below 3.0 volts at some point and time with a full charge in that charging cycle.
Oh btw, when you hit about 300 full cycle charges your battery life is going to be at around 85% +/- 2% of new because the chemical capacity of the battery has diminished. Which changes the charging profile and how many hours you can use the device."

Good to know
I know this ages me, but I've been an Apple user since the Apple II days... have always loved the company and what it stands for- which is making products that are easy to use for creative people and artists.
I actually don't like the new crop of gen x and gen y "Apple snobs" that have sprouted up and jumped on the Apple bandwagon just b'cuz they think its cool. & hip.
Apple is a unique company with a long, distinctive history. Not all of us Apple users are arrogant bitch snobs. So please don't generalize and lump us in the same group.

j/k... again... actually, I couldn't care less what anyone uses... in fact, if I get one more text after midnight, I'm switching to smoke signals...
haha ya ive had 2 iphones the 3g and the 4s and then i had a s2 and now a s3 i cant stand apple plus go look into making an app for apple or androidType in "Apple loses" in Google and see all the cases as recent as yesterday that Apple has lost to Samsung.

"iOS developers can earn 70% of the revenue generated from the sales of their app in the Apple App Store. But they have to pay an annual fee of $99 to gain access to the iPhone SDK.
Android developers, on the other hand, only need to pay a one-time registration fee of $25 and can earn 70% of revenue of the sales of their app in the Android Market. They can also feature the same app in other app marketplaces too, if they so wish."
apple is to greedy imo never again will i support them and i feel like a fool for ever buying iphones when i had no idea how amazing android is =P
I've got a LG Optimus Zip. The screen is nowhere near as big as a Galaxy or an Iphone. It's a slider, though, so I've got a physical keyboard. It runs Android 2.3. The camera is pretty crappy (3.2mp). Otherwise?
It runs on the Verizon 3G network. Still the largest coverage in the Continental United States. It costs me $45 (plus tax) a month for unlimited everything, on StraightTalk. Perhaps it's my ignorance, but I don't see anything I'm missing, other than what I stated, and it costs me less than $50 bucks a month.
