Actually no, I didn't include Photostream, Print, Read Later, (Google+, LinkedIn, Tumblr)-these three may depend on the app
I hope you realize that we are not talking about opening an app and sharing content from inside the app. Photostream is ICloud proprietary. Print/Read Later - minor use
Nope, I can save documents also via itunes file sharing, web server, e-mail attachment, bump, cloud storage
And my point was "save to phone storage". Yeah, you can save to those sources but this requires a round trip of data movement and thus wasting cellular data, battery, slow. No wonder Iphone users clock up much higher amount of data usage compare to other OSes
Hate subtitles, video player plays my videos just great, i've also never had an issue going over my data limit and my phone has always lasted at least a full day
Well, you can say you dont need this and that BUT that is just you. However, if you do need it, then you CAN"T have it which means this round goes to S3 (as this thread is about a match)
No, it's just tells that I myself don't like using my phone to edit files, especially since files I normally work with are RAW files in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, not that I would want to, but can the S3 edit RAW files?
see above response.
I honestly have only ever needed to copy past the last thing, but is this a feature I might like...absolutely - notice how I concede on some points I agree with (can't say the same about a lot of these android fans posting)
If you take out your personal preferences, I think you more or less need to concede all my points.
Unfortunately for IFans, that's the reality - that S3 can do many more things which Iphone/ios cannot do.I have an app, I choose the song I want and then select a clip I want (not some crappy canned ringtone bought online). Then just plug into itunes and sync, how tedious is that?
You need your Itunes (specifically the PC your phone sync to). So you can't do this adhoc. On Android, you just copy ringtone to phone or install ringtone app and select. Anytime anywhere.
So for this to work you have to manually enter this event into your calender right? So in actuality it is taking you much longer to enter this information as opposed to just flipping a switch?, also what if it is an event you don't need to turn the ringer off, now you have to remember to turn it back on, i'd much rather have the option to simply flip a switch that takes nanoseconds instead of relying on events i have to enter or even if they are auto entered
You do use your calendar to keep track of your schedule, no? As long as I marked "busy" (or some other criteria like keywords) in a meeting/event entry, that will do. For adhoc schedule not in calendar, I can just tap a shortcut icon to set the phone to silent for 1, 2, 3 hours or any custom duration. If this is still not enough I can always use the manual method like iphone.
Saying "call my wife" is too many steps?????
Saying this out while you are in a meeting or a quiet place will make you look like an idiot.
On my S3, from lock screen, I use the "phone" icon to go straight into dialpad, press and hold number for speed dial. Quick and fast - no mess. Or I can put direct dial/sms icons in the notification panel.
I have a folder on desktop containing canned SMSes with predefined receipient and content like "I'm leaving office". I just tap the icon for that canned SMS and the sms is send. How many steps you need to achieve this in Iphone?
Negative sir, I do NOT have to open facebook
Are you sure?
So, you arrive at a friends house to pick them up, and your phone knows that you are there to pick up a friend and it's going to text them this? I don't see how that is possible, what if you are just driving past your friends house? Something has to be setup here, much easier to just ask siri to send a text
You do know this is useful for regular routine not adhoc. What you do is you set GPS point(s) or cell tower ID(s) and the text to send (or whatever actions) in the app. You can even set schedules/time frame on when the tracking is turn on. The app runs as a service so it is always on.
I agree, that would be nice to have the option, but then again I really don't want my phone overloaded with options that it becomes cumbersome to use trying to find options to change any little thing
Please dont keep saying about you. As I understand from thread title it really does not seem to be about debating personal preferences.
I'd have to disagree, noone has yet challenged the abilities I posted earlier, they only seem to be finding little tidbits they PERSONALLY find nicer on android
Well, no one will be interested to challenge your personal preferences which most of your points seemed to be. A real challenge would be if you counter my points with something to show Iphone can do even more or better than what my points presented.
I think because we don't need to move big movie video files, there just available to us via itunes, also with hulu/netflix, etc there really isn't as much of a need anymore for wasting space with large video files
How so, I can send files to any device, it hasn't been restrictive for me
I'd much rather save whatever space I can in my phone for this situation, although, if it had FM transmitter capabilites that's another thing although still not a deal breaker for me
these few points are suited to....see above
Nearly all the options of a digital slr camera? You can't be serious? You have obviously not used a DSLR beyond it's auto settings? iphoneography is huge, the camera app is in no way a disgrace
Let me put the challenge to you the other way. Tell me what options are missing from S3 camera app compared to SLR.
But you still have to have a DLNA device...I agree having an hdmi cable is a nice backup plan though, you can also use iphone ipad with a keyboard
Oh...then again most mid-to-high tier TV sold in the last couple of years have DLNA embedded. I am not sure but can you use a mouse with iphone/ipad?
We just have differences of opinion here, I love having files of the same extension, and not having to drag drop, and organize manually
With 64GB on my phone and 5GBicloud and itunes match, i still have a ton of storage to spare, glad I don't need to buy memory cards which also have slower transfer speeds than built in storage
Don't forget you can't freely use the space in your iphone and cloud is limited and slow
That's the best part, my internal storage has been more than enough, i use icloud for my backups, and itunes match is not slow at all
Didnt you read my point on "you can't freely use the space in the phone storage"? You can even transfer data (limited to certain type) into the phone storage without Itunes. Iphone is so much-ado-about-nothing. btw: SD card is certainly MUCH faster than cloud - have you ever think that.
Slow? I'm not sure where your finding your info especially since the iphone beats the S3 in speed tests

iPhone 5 Speed Test Results Shockingly Blows Galaxy S3 Away - 9/17/2012
http://areacellphone.com/2012/09/iphone-5-speed-test-results-shockingly-blows-galaxy-s3-away/
I am saying slow scrolling not the rest. You like to use benchmark test as a challenge, fine let me counter this with the more realistic real-life-usage test. Look at result of page load (see the S3 without Flash plugin results for fairer comparison). Seems S3 has upper hand.

I'll stick with the iphone here, because I can definitely see the possibility of accidental pickups with an S3, not that this is a huge issue though, i'm sure it doesn't happen often
Are you forgetting, I can turn off the buttons answer/end. Another example (out of many) of what S3 has and Iphone doesnt.
This seems to be more of a pain, because now you have to remember whose got what on what calender and whose go the app you want to use, No Thanks
You are not thinking it thru.
. Google calendar has color coding if you want to see all the calendar entries together. Or you can show only selected calendar. It is a powerful way to share your calendar with different people. Wrt to apps, you can share them even if you bought the apps using different accounts. Or you can buy different type/category of apps using separate google a/c. Then you only sync apps from selected a/c to your children phones (leaving out the a/c that have those you-know-what apps
) . On Iphone/ios sync, all devices are equalized. Sometimes I just dont want stuff (like games) that I used on Ipad to go into my iphone. A bit of a mess with Iphone. It is a all-or-nothing (inflexible)
