iPhone 4S Sales Top Four Million in First Weekend

[watcha]

I actually agree you you Niems. I am guilty of some of what you describe, in that I do evidence my posts thoroughly with benchmarks to make my point clear. But the motivation for doing exactly that is to make people who dismiss phones based on 'GHz' etc. realise that that isn't the whole picture, and that people can buy phones for other reasons credibly.

 

[watcha]

[citation][nom]Vladislaus[/nom]First, at the time of the Engadget review I think that the Galaxy S wasn't available in the US. Secondly it's the authors opinion, here's another opinion from the same website that prefers the Galaxy Shttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22 [...] d-vibrant/Secondly, did you even noticed that the iPhone4 was not the fastest on the benchmarks you posted? The Droid 2 and the Nexus One, both phones are slower than the Galaxy S, were faster than the iPhone 4 on the first two benchmarks. The iPhone 4 was only faster in the WiFi performance.[/citation]

1 - The review does not conclude that the Galaxy S is better, simply that the carrier was. A US carrier. I'm from UK.

'On AT&T, well... it's either second or first, depending on whether you love or hate the iPhone 4.'

2 - Lets come back to the Galaxy S:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/3957/samsung-fascinate-review-verizons-galaxy-s-smartphone/7

Both phones exchange blows, but iPhone 4 doesn't lose by as much of a margin in any as Galaxy S does in Sunspider - and this is the Galaxy S released in October 2010. So you cannot say the Galaxy S is 'faster', even 3 months on.

And now lets look at battery life:

http://images.anandtech.com/graphs/samsungfascinate_100310015502/24988.png

The iPhone wins by a huge, huge margin

And of course Wifi performance:

http://images.anandtech.com/graphs/samsungfascinate_100310015502/24990.png

Another win.

Then dimensions:

'The Samsung Galaxy S compared to the iPhone 4 is appearing longer (by 7.2mm), wider(5.6mm) and thicker (0.6mm).'

Win again.

Then DPI:

iPhone 4 has a display size of 640 x 960 pixels, 3.5 inches where as the Samsung Galaxy S has 480 x 800 pixels, 4 inch display.

Win again.

And app count (at the time):

iPhone 230,000 apps vs Samsung 70,000

Win again.

Build Quality & Customer Satisfaction?

iPhone 4 - glass / metal. Samsung Galaxy S - plastic.
iPhone 4 went on to win all customer satisfaction surveys

iPhone 4 also allowed me to watch Sky Sports, which no Android phone does to date 🙂

Win overall 🙂

Watcha, you seriously need to get a life. I have never seen someone waste some much time trying to prove that when the iPhone 4 came it was the best phone. Nobody cares and your making yourself look like a fool.

The last desperate pleas by the Apple Hater

1. "They're all isheep/Brainwashed", a statement made all the more ironic as they then rage about any criticism about their device.

2. All professional Journalists are less informed than one geek and a dodgy Apple Hating Amateur Blog

3. All professional journalists who like the iphone have been bought by Apple. They couldn't POSSIBLY consider it above any other device, oh Nooooo.

4. Number Four would be the denial that iphone outsells their own device, but sadly, that's reality.

 

[tramit]

[citation][nom]watcha[/nom]Why does it have to be 'ooooh! Shiny' for someone to buy an Apple product, but of course all the 'Nexus Prime' customers buy for the 'correct reasons'?The iPhone 4S, objectively, has a massive amount going for it. Can they not buy it in order to have the fastest CPU/GPU combination of any phone right now? Or integrated iCloud? Or smaller size in volume than most Android phones (eg SG2 and probably Prime)? Or could they buy after having customer reviews that make the iPhone 4 the phone with the best customer feedback? Or maybe they want it because it has a higher screen DPI than any Android phone? Or maybe they want access to the largest app library in the world?There are advantages and disadvantages of both Apple and Android phones, I've clearly just highlighted the advantages here, and I do admit there are advantages on the other side too. The point I'm making, however, is that it's very ignorant to assume that people are buying the phone because it's 'shiny' - when actually all the reasons I gave, on their own, would be enough to justify the purchase for logical reasons. The vast majority of tech-savvy people I know recognise those qualities, and don't have an irrational dislike for Apple. I am within that group, I didn't care if the phone I bought was Apple, Android, whatever. I read all of the reviews, all of the specifications, looked at and tried all the phones, and the iPhone 4 (at the time) was the best available. When I buy again, I'll do the same again, but right now I can't see a better proposition than the iPhone 4S. It's very important for Android that Nexus Prime changes that.[/citation]

One of the most logical statements made in this comment section.

LOL, LOL, you just made everyone in my office laugh. Seriously, what is wrong in your head? I have never seen someone so upset with other comments that they would waste there whole day posting comment after comment of your opinion on how when the iPhone 4 came out last year it was the best phone. LOL, LOL.
You haven’t proved anything. All you have done is proved that you are funny at making no sense and can’t agree with any facts given. Look at your response to someone else’s link from Gizmodo.com showing proof how slow the iPhone internet is. http://gizmodo.com/5820965/the-great-iphone-4s-national-network-test
Where is your proof and testing that you have done to prove the website is wrong?
Below is your response that makes me laugh every time I read it. Your response in a nutshell to facts is “That is stupid and wrong, I am right because I said so, just like a 3 year old.” Most android phones are 4G that have come out in the last year, and its obvious that people are comparing Androids top phones, where you are trying to change the subject and compare to some free Android phone from the carriers that is not 4G.

Watcha response - 'When I stated Android has up to 8 times faster internet than the iPhone 4S'

LOL. I can't believe you re-posted and tried to defend that statement. It doesn't matter what the accompanying link said, the statement is ridiculously stupid, illogical and downright incorrect all on its own. I really shouldn't have to explain why it was stupid, in some ways that makes you even more dumb. You see, little boy, Android is not a phone. It's an OS, in numerous phones, hundreds of which don't have 4G and have very slow internet. Do you understand yet? Probably not, huh?

My office and I can’t wait to see if you come up with any other moronic posts. We look forward to a good laugh. Thank you.

I wonder if you realise how much your whole approach makes a mockery of yourself. You describe me as 'upset with comments' yet you come back the next day to make a massive rant of illogical drivel... your own post completely owns itself.

And why doesn't it own me? Because I don't cry when people write posts. You do. And that's where the hypocrisy lies. But then lets face it, we both knew you weren't the sharpest tool in the shed so it's to be expected.

I mean, you begin by linking to a link discussing the iPhone 4S. I'm not quite sure if you could be more retarded, you're certainly pushing that boundary. Perhaps you missed the whole conversation, or you are dyslexic?

“That is stupid and wrong, I am right because I said so, just like a 3 year old.” is the way you're behaving, not me. I am carefully evidencing everything. I didn't have to disprove a comment which was so stupid that it:

a) Confused Android (an operating system) with Smart phones (not an operating system)

and

b) Linked to an article about a different phone than the one being discussed.

And what's amazing is, you STILL don't see how dumb you are? I guess that's where the saying 'ignorance is bliss' comes from.

'My office and I can’t wait to see if you come up with any other moronic posts. We look forward to a good laugh. Thank you'

You must be quite the party animal who doesn't get angry at all about anti-Android comments in that case. I can't quite work out which is sadder:

a) Pretending to have discussed an article with a bunch of office friends and believe it has any relevance whatsoever to the topic in hand

or

b) Actually do the above, which I think would take you to new levels of insecurity.

I wonder if you'll understand the difference between iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 by the time you read this, or realise that not every Android phone has the same internet speed.

Bless.

And I also have a very fast desktop pc, I don't see the relevance?
