Of course, the President was handed an iPhone the other day to make a call and had trouble with it since he's so used to the BlackBerry. Not cool.
Apple should offer to give whoever the next president is an iPhone 5.
Apple fanatiscism is really embarrassing sometimes.
Yeah, that always works for us consumers in the end.
1. Apple doesn't have a monopoly. If you were to look at the smartphone share out there, you'd know this. Apple has the superior product and therefore makes the superior profit with hardly any global market share (16.9 percent share). Just imagine how much that share is going to go up in the next 6+ months because of the iPhone 5 and moving into new markets. Apple will probably hit 22-25% .
2. Actually it does work for you the consumer. It makes other businesses that are in the industry (other then Samsung) have to innovate or go out of business, therefore creating better products.
The best thing that came out of the Apple vs Samsung decision is that we are now going to move beyond the iPhone clone era of the last 5 years and maybe get some new things that will push not only these other companies to innovate but Apple also.

Glad somebody commented on the tasteless joke. Actually, 'tasteless joke' also applies to the Samsung ad.
So, poor people are allowed to mislead (lie), but corporations can't? That's a bit absurd.
All advertising is somewhat deceptive. That's been the norm for generations. On the basic level, ads try to convince you that you need a product that you don't really need.
I haven't consumed a TV commercial in years. Plus, since I'm blind, I don't get to see all the stupid annoying ads on the web. It's lovely. But even if I was sighted, I wouldn't give much thought to ads, at least I would hope not. I would like to think that I have self-control
Apple are as guilty as the next re specifications - did you watch the Keynote? Without Mr Jobs on "stage," everything from start to finish was about the new phone specifications! The first slides discuss how thin the new phone was [actually claimed to the world's thinnest, which is isn't], followed by how much brighter the screen was, followed by how long the battery lasted, followed by how quick the new processor was; lighter, 7 times the graphics speed.....and on and on. In fact, very little about the "user experience"
Lets be honest, this is the method for all "tech" companies - Apple are no different.

No, NO!
Hating a company that stands on its shoulders, naked, with its chest bare competing with the world is ignorant and reaches to backing cowards.
Google and Microsoft uses others to fight their fight, their biz strategy detracts competition and real innovation. Because all those companies selling android and windows should have been building their own better things, better than what Apple does, or Google or Microsoft. At leaf try.
Apple monopoly?
That is funny!
Im a huge apple fan and I think they need to get rid of ios
Apple we aren't stupid
Give us widgets and more multi tasking abilities please

Samsung opened up a store in Australia with a table of "Smart Tutors" who do pretty much the same thing.
Don't forget to tweet with hash tag #TheNextBigThing to talk about how excited you are for your iPhone 5.

What's embarrassing about buying a product that works and works well? If Apple didn't produce quality products, people wouldn't buy them. And they're far from being a monopoly. There are a half-dozen smartphones on the market -- Apple sells well for a reason, and that same reason is why they're the most profitable company on Earth.
If a better product comes along, or if Apple abuses the power they have earned, folks will move on. In the mean time, consumers are sticking with what works, and other companies will do their best to compete -- works very well for consumers.
Typical
Samsung is taking the "low road"....yet again.
I hope Apple responds with...nothing except great sale numbers.

Really?
Explaining iPhone 5 changes regarding its predecessor is ignoring user experience at all?
The always hands-on after the show are for WHAT?
Oh wow. So you went to Google... typed in fanboy... and came up with:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fanboy
...and then you copied it word for word. So you didn't know what fanboy meant, and you quoted another source word-for-word without even citing them? Wow, how... you.
If LG agreed, then they would have sued a long time ago. They haven't. And the reason is not that they can't afford the lawyers, they can. There are two reasonable explanations: 1. LG decided. on advice of experts comparing both phones and their lawyers, that the chances of winning are too small to sue. 2. There is some agreement between LG and Apple.
Either way, going on about this is just totally pointless.
Exactly this- great image.
I like that Samsung chose a common weed as their screen image.
Multi tasking on a phone?
Like those horrific Hollywood pseudo-ScienceFiction-interfaces-on-glass-display.

Good thing it doesn't take a genius
"It doesn't take a Genius"...which is a good thing because if you buy a Samsung we don't have genius bar or anywhere else for you to go to for help and support.

Raw nerve...they did what you describe by spouting technical specifications..that apparently "don't matter" unless Apple use them.
we can agree to disagree. I am not going to lose sleep over your opinion.
