I have an Android phone which as we know allows more user control over a phone. Many Android users will toggle 4G/3G manually. They will leave 3G on for normal use as its plenty fast for 99.9% of use and flip on 4G for video streaming and large downloads to extend battery life. As far as Apple, I'm not sure if they will allow this level of control to turn on and off. They do allow you to toggle WIfi on and off so hopefully for you iPhone users they will allow the 4G/3G toggle without jailbreaking. This is apples first 4G phone and until it comes out we just dont know if they will allow that control.
Well since the 3G came out, Apple had the feature of letting you enable/disable the 3G service in the settings, so maybe it will be the same for LTE? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Apple is the industry standard. You can transcode those music files to lower bitrates when syncing via iTunes. That'll free up a lot of space, as would moving the pictures off your phone. I would say doing a bit of clean-up work is worth saving the extra $100 instead of buying the 64GB iPhone.
Well "is the industry standard" would mean they're ahead of the curve and people are reacting to them/behind them when reality is many of the features iPhanboys blow their load over have been in Android years prior. Apple does make a quality product but they take design over functionality and sometimes technology. I'm not going to bash apple even though I could, I'm just saying its just not factually accurate to say apple is the industry standard. I'm just glad their are competitiors out their who force apple (and every company for that matter) to improve and innovate.
Everyone—Apple, AT&T, Verizon, and I think even Sprint as well—has sold out of the initial production run. If you remember the iPhone 4S launch, Apple had enough to meet demand, which was bigger than the iPhone 4's launch. So for the 5 to completely sell out this way means they're either having production issues or the sales numbers are just ridiculously enormous. Probably a little from column A and a hell of a lot from column B. When I preordered on Friday, I managed to get in just before the shipping times increased from 1 week to 2. My boss and a coworker ordered literally minutes after me and they're stuck with 2 week shipping.
I didn't get the go ahead from my wife until yesterday. Oh the joys of being married. I think she felt bad for me because I had a fever. I'm pretty sure I'm dying.
My buddy's says "In Transit" and has multiple locales on the tracking number history, so they sent it already...
A few phones might arrive a day early, but the bulk of the orders will arrive Friday. Still waiting for my shipping notice, but I'm expecting that tonight or tomorrow.
Mine did too. In fact I live about 30 minutes from the pick up site so I'm hoping to get it a little early.
I had to order through the Verizon wireless store. I have like 7 phones/lines on my account. Mine wasn't eligible for an upgrade but others were. So the switcheroo worked. Expecting it to arrive the 28th. My mint condition 4GS will have to do til then. Sent from my iPhone
I saw that commercial while watching the Panthers-Giants game. The only thing I got from that commercial was the S3 has a bigger screen than the Iphone 5.
Because insulting the people who you're targeting is historically proven to change minds and increase sales!
Right?!??!?! And what's the big deal with touching phones? Hasn't there been a fist bump app that does the same thing for like 3-4 years now?
I think they're playing the political election game. Not targeting the steadfasts, but the undecided. - sent from my Android device via Tapatalk -
Sales numbers have absolutely no bearing on which phone is better than the other, and although you may not be using that as grounds to make a point, a lot of people are. Apple has a cult like following, and it is that brand dedication that a lot of people use to justify that Apple is better than anything else, almost with horse blinders on. I have a Galaxy S2 and love it. Am I a Samsung fanboy. Nope. That's what I like about it though, those of us who know better leave the Apple enthusiasts to blindy think their devices are far and away better than anything else, when in actuality, both phones are GREAT. Think I don't like about Apple is iTunes. So hard to add songs to your device. Synch this, new play list there blah blah blah. My Galaxy can be used as a mass storage device, easy, simple drag and drop, enjoy music. Also, to customize ring tones on Apple, you have to upload them to iTunes. Really? And you are only allowed one custom ring tone/notification? Really? For all the similarities/differences, androids are a lot more user friendly and allow greater user freedom. EDIT: Desides, I am not insinuating that you are a fanboy in this post. Just to make that clear. You are close though.
That's not the discussion here. The discussion is about Samsung's marketing, not a quality comparison/contrast of competing devices. Nothing in your post has anything to do with that. You're talking about something else entirely.
Sorry, I thought this thread was based on the entire thread and not one post from it. Wanna talk marketing - it was brilliant. Pure and simple. It shows Apple elitists coming to the realization that their brand's superiority is based on perception alone, and that people who actually have the foresight and open mindedness to compare devices based on the actual devices and not the company logo may decide to change their mind. A+ for the firm who came up with that one.
Notice where in the thread you replied. Again, insulting the people you want as your customers is not the way to get them to buy your stuff. Though the low esteem you hold iDevice buyers in seems to tell me the commercial was targeted at you, not them.
The ad got people talking, which already means it was successful. Content of advertising is ALWAYS secondary to the buzz said advertising creates. That's Marketing 101.
I have a problem with fanboys in general. Apple, Samsung, 360, PS3. I dislike Apple elitists. Yes. No secret. And if you think Samsung is going to target existing customers in their advertisements, you are seriously mistaken. If that is what you want to believe, they all the power to you. Can't change your mind anyway - that has been displayed on many occasions. Apple loves people like you, and their BS shallow press presentations that don't show much advancement aside from a larger screen, bigger battery, and better camera are surely targeted at you. It goes both ways.
