See Samsung's Sunday newspaper ad about the iPhone 5. Whats your thoughts? (merged)

Following on from my last point - this is why, and has always been why, Apple is a leader in design. Sure, you can have a massive phone with a colossal screen, pointlessly removable battery, Apple have probably thought of all these things and decided against them. It's pathetic that Samesung seem to think that they're being innovators by having a screen that's TOO BIG fitted to their phones.
They have not the first idea about design, form and function. That's why they steal other people's ideas.

These ads are directed at bafoons that choose the iPhone because it's the hip thing to do. If they knew th gs3 offered more than just iOS, then they might choose the gs3. Simple as that. I know plenty of bafoons who are unhappy with their iPhone and ask about my gs3 all the time. Samsung doesn't expect to sway you awesome, cool kats.
Most of Samsung's additional "features" are laughable (seriously, "shake to update" - just because it sounds cool doesn't mean you should put it in your phone!).
Listing the specs of something means absolutely nothing if the OS isn't simple and attractive to your typical consumer.
Simple is key - when looking at this kind of technology, the spec sheet shouldn't matter to a certain degree - us geeks don't get this because we are looking at things from the wrong perspective. Most people want tools to help them live and enjoy life, not the other way around.
The difference between Samsung and Apple is just as clear as the difference between their remote controls.
How can an OS be a good product without a quality control department? I can give a 2 year old an iPad and she/he would know how to use it; give them any various Android plastic and they'll be upset like the day you bought them Cheese Nips over Cheez-Its.
Samsung's #1 goal should improve ones life, not just improve the spec sheet, because in the end that is really what it all comes down to.
You can call me an Apple 'fanboy' all you want, but all you're doing is pointing out the fact that I believe in a company that has the best business model, a company that has set this standard since 1984 (I know I'm going to get killed for that, so this should be fun).
Simple is better in most cases.
This is either an insult too all Apple users, teachers of Apples iPhone classes or 2 year old's. I don't know which though....
Yea, they stole their design. That's why they use plastic instead of metal and glass?farts...
Cool thanks - I see they used the name iPhone5,2 when entering it in their database, explaining why I couldn't find it when I searched.
Here's a couple of links to results:

Interesting. The S3 results are a bit different from the averages that PrimeLabs' site is reporting if you select "Android Benchmarks" from the list. I'm guessing it can vary from test to test, depending on what else is running.
AirPlay - this is quite old actually
iCloud - Asus did this since before 2008 when netbooks where big
iTunes Match - this is a negative lol
Panorama - Sony had this very long ago.
Thinnest Phone Ever - It isn't
Really? Spent much time on an S3 with Jelly Bean? Thought not. Scrolling is not 4S quality, let alone the 5. It never will be. Too much fragmentation.
Is it better than 4.0? Absolutey. That is as fas as it goes.
Never!....say never
So you're ignorant of other products....your point?
Yep, I see the iPhone 4s results vary quite a bit too, so there are probably a lot of people that unfortunately run this test with lots of stuff going on in the background. Some of which impact the performance.
Well Samsung hasn't won
Because they don't care if you talk about, they care if you go out and buy their phone instead on an Apple phone.
I am sure they think every little piece of snide gossip helps, but Apple can sell every phone it makes.
I am not sure how Samsung can make a dent in that at all.
Everyone got Samsung'd!

Iv been using my Samsung galaxy to trash talk. Just fun , I like a phone thay assist me help me keeps organize, keeps my outrageous music library, pics, phone number, ect ect. N e way, you make ur device powerful by what u do with it, not what Apple or Samsung says it can do. Enjoy todays technology and unlike apple or samsung shar ur ideas for innovation ,not court dates
Excuse me?
You said I never used an iOS device and I quoted you using a screen shot from my 4S. Your facts there were an assumption and a incorrect one at that.
Then you said Android users are going to flip and talk in all caps. You either neglected to see I already commented or just lying. Then I responded to you with a screen shot from an Android device. This "fact" was just a bold face lie.
Your arguments are pathetic and your facts are just lies. And no offense but your mannerisms are immature too, I don't exactly know what a "fantardness" is but I'm sure its often said on a school bus.
Much like the Samsung TV's that you stand in front of and move your hands around like a mime to move the selection on the screen.
Neat? Yes.... for about a minute.
Useful? No way. Just give me the damn remote.
I think they put in as many things as they can come up with to make their spec list longer.
Have an iPhone 5 pre ordered. Sold my 4s on Craigslist for $425 (another thing Samsung crap doesn't offer; resale value.) had an s3 for a week then returned it and pre ordered an iPhone 5. So yes I have an iPhone im actually on a 3GS back up phone and I have to say it is more enjoyable than the s3.
Done being angry about your phone yet?
Honestly not paying attention to all your replies so now I'm lost. Why are you on this site again? Reading all the awesome facts of the new iPhone?!
benchmarks only give a rough idea at best. they canchange greatly from boot to boot. also those raging on plastic forget that plastic canbend some. my s2 has been dropped so many times on concrete but still looks New. a glass and metal body will not allow this. although it not certainly feels and looks cheaper it is from my experience better for drops.
Marketing that involves comparison is not a good idea? Maybe. It's illegal in many countries (including Germany where I live), but it's an American invention so you probably have to live with it. Apple is doing it all the time as well - on a very childish level, one might add - but I usually don't hear you guys complaining about it when Apple does it.
Technologically, the Galaxy S3 is superior to the iPhone 5 in every single aspect. The iPhone's aluminum body is nice, I give it that. But that doesn't change the fact that it represents last year's technology, lacks vision and innovation, is part of a walled garden ecosystem and still has a screen that's simply too small. The iPhone 5 might be a nice improvement for current iPhone users, but it certainly won't attract any Android customers.
Not sure what you mean when you say Apple is doing it all the time as well - on very childish level...For one i think that Apple have really easy comercial that are made for everyone...And even if they do ads that have any type of compairing with other product they do tend to keep small dose of humor in it and not go peace by peace like Samsung did. But then again this is just how i see it.
According to benchmarks that Superior S3 is below iPhone 5 so if i read correctly Aplle last year's technology outperforms S3 which suppose to be superior device in every aspect when you compare it with iPhone 5. YOUR WORDS...
gotta love all the fan kiddies who think they know how to run an ad agency or a corporation. The only thing you've proven is you know how to run your mouth. Good on ya though, hope all is better after your little tantrum about the ad.
You see, this thread has over 1000 responses and more importantly over 91,000 views. I'd say misssion accomplished for sammy.
This! This! This! This! This! This!
Winner winner chicken dinner!!!!
But ur not getting paid to defend Apple its just matter of opinion, be easy its just a phone I have a Galaxy but it just a phone.

Its a peice of plastic dam
I liked your post because I feel bad for you. I'm here because I own a 4S and a iPad 3. I feel bad for you because I was under the impression you were of more IQ and "reading" wasn't overwhelming to the point of losing you. Reading comprehension (or lack there of) is probably why you think I'm mad, I assure you I am not lol.
Since my nature is to debate endlessly I'm just adding you to my ignore list.
