Because Apple makes products for people who can't understand independent brightness controls.
That's not totally true. I'm pretty sure the iBooks and Kindle apps have independent brightness settings.
...I think. Let me double check on that.
It's generally accepted that people that buy and can understand differing squiggles as language, can decipher brightness settings.
Well I have the more established 4S with the same operating system. Does that count?
I could go on and post all the bugs/errors I've encountered with my 4S and iPad 3 and I still will if you want. But instead of bore you with all that stuff why not just goto settings > general > about > diagnostics and usage > diag usage data. And post a pic of latest crash in the "S" section looking for springboard.
That's iOS crashing. Or is that not considered a bug? The rest are apps crashing which goes either way.
Did you already forget about the pass code bypass bug?

This is true.
...though I was wrong. I don't have Kindle installed at the moment, but iBooks' brightness setting is tied to the overarching iOS setting. If you turn it down to almost nil in iBooks and hop back to the springboard, it's just as dark there.
This might not be the case for other apps, because I'm almost definite I've seen it used somewhere before.
I just checked the Kindle app - it's brightness setting is independent of the overall setting.
Several consumer loyalty card apps crank the screen brightness to full when displaying the card's barcode the return it to normal when done. The Starbucks app does this. So does Apple's Passbook.
Okay, I was half wrong then.
It's set up the way everything in iOS is. The OS itself is just a hands off platform, with all the settings and permissions handled within the app itself. Android sounds more like a classic monolithic OS, with it administering all the apps installed.
Every software is bugged to some degree.
I think we can safely ascertain that the OP is of a very young age.
Are you a woman?
If so I can see why you would say it's too big that or a man with tiny hands.
And laggy? When? Where?
The biggest issue with the GS3 is the pentile amoled screen sucks beyond imagination.
Other than that, it's pretty good as far as android phones go.

Anyway, people who intend on purchasing a S III would be more likely to find help from people who actually own the phone.
I can't understand people criticising the s3 screen. I think it's on a par with the 4s I used to have and the sheer size of it makes up for the slight lack in brightness and over saturation (which is fixed by selected 'natural mode' anyway)
