What did Apple actually invent?

I can't think of a better company to outsource R&D to than Samsung and surely we should applaud both companies for producing such an amazing phone rather than trying to give sole credit to one in order to diminish the abilities of the other. It doesn't fool anybody.

*sigh* repeating an older post from me in this thread. I've had people tell me Apple hardware is better and more reliable than Samsung's. :rolleyes:

You realise that when Pino bought his iPhone the S3 probably wasn't out on the market? Why then are you comparing the iPhone to the S3 to prove his choice wrong?

If you go through all the Apple threads you'll find a consistent pattern. People say certain Apple products happen to be the right product to meet their needs. Yet consistently you claim you know better than they do, that they are simply wrong and throw in a couple of insults for good measure. Frankly its almost autistic in the inability to grasp that other people have different priorities and standards to yours. Maybe when you get older you'll be able to understand this....

In that respect, not much different to some others one could name, who appear not to understand what seems disturbing about their behaviour.

Personally, it amazes me that a discussion such as this could go on so long. As you say, different people have different needs and tastes when it comes to buying products, no matter what they might be. What is the problem others have with this?

Cheers henners. Many congratulations to you both.

You don't have to pay full price for an iPhone. After all there is someone who signs up for several accounts a day on the forums just to offer his special deals. I delete the posts just to keep the special offers to myself.

I ordered my iPhone 6 months ago; so it should be here any day now :erm:
