It doesn't take a genius to read at the bottom of that ad... Says Samsung mobile USA. It's an ad based on USA and yes, they have been declared a shameless copycat in the USA.

Ummm, its a micro SD card slot. You know, like the ones every other phone except the iPhone has
The iPhone 5 has not come out yet. Those consumers have picked the Android phones over the iPhone 4S, which does not have LTE or those other hardware features.
Good point, but for whatever the reason, whenever I brought my iDevices (like the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, iPod Nano, etc) I never had to pay the full price for battery replacement. They all did it for free, since it was few days before the one year warranty ended.
I don't see what's so ridiculous about "retina" for "Our eye retinas cannot see the pixels." What else would they call it, "Super-HD"?
But it us a HUGE micro SD card slot. Why can't they have a regular size SD card slot (wait a minute? I already post this).
Sorry you cannot read.
Apparently not enough considering Samsunng has still sold more phones than Apple worldwide and Android is gaining marketsharecomparing one company Apple to All other companies Android...... and still apple overcomes all of them put together when if comes to sales..... Hmmm!!!!
7 friends pre ordered iPhone 5 on friday - No longer happy with Samsung.... image that just by using iphone4S decided to jump on board... imagine how many around the world done that.....
And if it were past your warranty, you would probably be pretty pissed when they said sorry, you have to buy a new one.
Why would Apple not have any card slot at all? That is simply lame. It's the one hardware feature on Android phones that I wish my iPhone had.
How about a 40 inch tv on ur ear then? It's all about usability. Some like siii but for some it's way too big. Siii can do in a handbag but I won't try to put it in a jeans pocket.... Or even on an armband when running
You dont have to mfg every single component in your product to have made it. That's not what design engineering is.
If you use that standard, only component manufacturers would get credit and the engineers that actually integrate everything into a cohesive system via circuit design, software, etc get no credit.
Even that Intel motherboard has third party components soldered to it. Same for the PCB inside that Sony DVD player
Apple did pay for the privilege to take that work and improve upon. Steve Also said it was flawed and incomplete. Here is a good clip on that subject; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpMeFh37mCE
Regarding the advertisement, i think Samsung is pulling a good one. Will be interesting to see if it works!
But it begs the question.. if it's the next big thing then why do you have to tell us that it's the next big thing?

So your saying the iPhone will overtake Android in marketshare? Despite 1.3 million a day being sold and activated?
After they have done with copying, and failure in court ....,
now they are testing another way of cheating and fraud ,
samsunG is never ever comparable with Apple ,cause there is a long time
they've been busy with making Washing machines , refrigerators (the device that Galaxy S3 inspired by) , vacuum cleaners and this kinda stuff,. ...
just imagine what samsung would be if Google kept Android for itself , and didn't give it to other companies, without Android All of them (samsung,HTC, and..) have nothing to say, exactly like Nokia.
There is much more to say about Apple and its competitors(rest of the world)
but Apple fans know that Apple is different.

I think you'll find the length matters more than the width. And on that front the new iphone 5 is just as long as other phones for all intent and purpose.
Personally, I have never found it comfortable to put the iphone 4 in a pair of jeans or tight pants so I think smaller size is bit of a moot point in terms of W and H. Thickness and weight is another story. For slacks I find the weight of the iphone was actually making it presence much more obvious than the larger size of the galaxy nexus.
Indeed.
Lots of Android users, like myself. We have Android phones, but we also own Macs,
Yeah but after the warranty is up, youre screwed. It reminds me of Sony Minidisc recorders; they were easily the best portable players until proper mp3 players came out from the likes of Cowon/iAudio. Sound quality was great, battery life was awesome, it was digital, could record from any source, discs were small and far more durable than regular CDs due to the shell and the gumstick batteries lasted a long time and were priced very well.
The problem?
Planned obsolescence. Just like iDevices.
A lot of those minidisc recorders crapped out just after the warranty. And just like the Sony MD, iPods and all of their other devices usually start to crap out after about a year, the battery just doesnt hold up. Typically the batteries last about 300-400 charges before battery life starts going downhill. With normal usage, charging once a day gets close to the 400 charge cycle after about a year.... after that..... like I said, your screwed.
That reason alone has made me look at portable apple devices in disgust as I've experienced this bull***t from them first hand. Its left a bitter taste that I will never forget. (on top of the battery going bad, the hard drive in my iPod failed too). It was the worst experience I've ever had.
Apple did rip off Xerox's basic idea of a GUI OS. They paid compensation.
Microsoft ripped off the entire Mac GUI.
Google and Samsung copied the "look and feel" from iOS. It's still nothing compared to what Microsoft did.
