Yes, but the year is worth the wait. Like I said, at least it's not sporadic and you can expect an OS update.
Sure if you like being behind the competition. I know you dont mind since you like a simpleton phone that just calls, emails and texts but most everyone likes more features and iOS is behind in that regard. And yeah, the iP4 will get an update, but not the full update so it isnt as rosey as you want it to be.
Anyone who bought an Android device within the last few months morethan likely isn't on the latest OS, had to root to get the latest OS, or won't be getting Android 4.0/.1. The reason iOS has maintained almost the same look for years is because changing too many things just startles the user and confuses them. With Android, it isn't an issue because A. most people don't get the latest OS so no one is confused or B. no one is confused because 75% of Android users are tech geeks who love huge overhauls.
The flagship phones will get them. The GS3 is going to get JB, the GS2 got ICS and i dont know if it will get JB. The Motorola phones are being updated to ICS. No word on JB but the point is, they arent that old and are getting updates just ike th iPhone is...who only get one once a year.
Ok, well you changed the subject from what I was talking about so you could say you were right.
No i didnt. I said the iPhone cost more. No kidding that they all are the same subsidized. But if you want one off contract, the P4S still costs more than the newer Androids. There is just nothing to not understand about that.
I already knew the 4S was more expensive off contract which is why I wasn't comparing those prices.
LOL...well that was the point wasnt it? Of course you didnt want to compare those prices. Because you know Apple dont care about you. And before you say they do, please lets go back and mention the two years it took to get MMS, Copy and Paste, and the years it took to get other things that Android has had for years that their customers keep asking for.
They didnt think they were neccessary.
They were probably reluctant to give a bigger screen and even in doing so, only made it longer. Its still too small.
Sure you can get a Gnex for 350, but not everyone can use an unlocked device. You can't use an unlocked device on Sprint or Verizon. The 4S has the same technologies as the Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S3, and the One X, so how could you say it's an "old phone"?
What does that have to do with the high price of a IP4S off contract? So Apple can screw those who have CDMA?
There are many who would love to have a unlocked phone for $350 and those who have a GSM network can. And the IP4S has many things lacking from the GS3 and HTC X and GNex so how can you say it is even close? The only things it has better than the GNex is the camera and screen clarity. But it is a tiny screen.
Dont get me wrong, it is a nice device but it is far behind those phones.
You know what I mean. I didn't mean Apple builds them at an office in California...
I know they can't keep up and it's because of the high demand, which is why they start production months before release. Apple is not the only company in the world which can't keep up with the demand. Plus, the demand isn't as high after the first few weeks. Like right now, Apple is able to keep up because devices aren't being sold from stores and online as quickly as they were during preorders and when they were first released. My point is, it's hard for all companies to keep up when you have such a high demand for a product. This is nothing bad or abnormal.
OK, i wont argue there but Apple fell behind with some features they wanted to adsd to the 4S and they didnt get them because they couldnt get them done on time. I dont have specifics but you can do a search. I have seen articles on this before so they arent as efficient as you think.
The S3 is so similar to the S2, they were able to fit it into an enlarged S2 shell to keep it a secret as we all saw with the leaks. This was made possible by a similar form factor and more rounded off edges. Yes, I do thing Gingerbread is like ICS but on a TOUCHWIZ device because of how the UI looks. If it had the Gingerbread font, it's be pretty much identical sans the home screen launcher.
Um, no. Maybe you need to go back to Wikipedia and look it up because you are wrong!
When did I mention Google Now anywhere in my replies? I mentioned S Voice ("Samsung's attempt at a Siri competitor"). Lol, you're just twisting my words to make your answers sound better.
Actually you never said a thing about S Voice. I just figured you were talkingabout Google Now since you kept claiming Siri did the exact same thing. I will agree however that S Voice isnt that great.
But Google Now is better than Siri.
I had actually read that page when it was first posted about a few days ago. No I didn't count them, but the lists don't look as comprehensive as the Wikipedia one.
To someone biased, it wouldnt. To somebody who isnt biased, it would.
