Google advert phone = Android os = paid for by Google = you are the product
Well that makes no sense. And I promise you every time you say it everyone that hears you just dismisses what you're saying.

So when I said earlier the S3 LTE is possibly the best phone on the market right now, do you agree with that?

Or is it just when I point out a negative of Andriod that you get so upset?

I'm done with tis for today, I think I'm pretty fair in my opinions as are most on here. But there are 2 or 3 crazily obsessive andriod users here that ruin every good thread. It's like a frigging religious sect
Fair play Hugh

Wrong, it was free at Tesco phone shop for Ł25 also. I know as that where I got mine. Right now there are loads of deals for a free S3 under Ł30.

The galaxy note 2 is free under Ł30 also Samsungs method is working though. They even offered me a free galaxy tab 2 if I traded my iPhone for a S3.
Also available on Orange for Nothing upfront, Ł26 a month.

However Samsung Galaxy S3 was available in 145 countries by July 2012 it's been on sale for 7 months mind!!

So actually on a day by day basis the iPhone 5 has been doing better than the S3.

Stop being pedantic, Apple has not released the details yet in fact Samsung have ONLY just released theirs. Normally Apple exceeds expectation but we'll see... should be interesting.

Also Samsung reports shipped, Apple reports SOLD phones.

That's samsungs model, pay the consumer to take your devices.
Doesn't sound like a particularly profitable business model.
Which is strange given that the last complete set of quarterly results Samsung published saw them report record profits.

Apple are going to have to forget super high $1 billion a month profits.
Apple's profits for the last couple of quarters have been in excess of $8bn - that's more than $2.5bn/month.
You have to go back a number of years for them to have made as little as $1bn/month profit.

Samsung have 1.5billion debt...
Samsung are expected to announce profits of over $8bn on revenue of over $50bn and that's just for the last 3 months of last year.
Even if they had this debt you claim, it's a drop in the ocean for them.

Those are just analyst predictions and its for I phones not i phone 5, all models. I for one don't think the Iphone 5 has sold almost 50 million, in fact I don't even think it's sold more than S3 untill someone corrects me. We will find out soon I guess.

They said the S3 sold 40 million not shipped.

I really can't believe that the S3 has sold more than the iPhone 5. Didn't the iPhone 5 sell 5 million in it's first weekend or something, whereas I remember reading that the S3 had sold 20 million after 3 or so months. Even if the S3 is the better phone they don't have the ridiculously marketing that apple have, or people queuing up for days outside shops.

sure enough, early trading has not reacted well to the news
http://9to5mac.com/2013/01/14/aapl-s...orders-halved/
Funny that, analysts last year were predicting them to hit $1000 dollars a share by this point in time. Shows how much they know.

Samsung said the 100 million number was 'from the supply side' so I think that's pretty clear they mean sales into the supply chain rather than sales to end users.

Most folk here know they are not out.. but are coming soon ( January 23) however for now the best guess is the experts who get paid for guessing this.. not someone on a forum. I have no reason to suggest they are way off the mark, do you?

Yeah, common sense dictates that 49 million iPhone 5s sold even in the last quarter let alone December is unrealistic.

Same period the year before, Apple sold a little over 37 million iPhones total, they have never sold anything like 49 million iPhones (of any/all models combined) in a quarter before.
So the idea that a single model alone would have sold that many is clearly utterly ridiculous.

As I said seen nothing that indicates that 49 million iPhone 5s have been mentioned have you? or do you agree with the previous posts in relation to this?

Right...Apart from being a snip at Android users, its also the stupidest thing i have seen.

Apple advertise using iAds. So....iOS = paid for by apple/you = you are the product.

See how stupid that is?
