this looks like cheap publicity... unless iphone increases its size to minimum 4.3inch no one will buy this phone ever. I have samsung galaxy s3..its a master piece!!

looks like its possible too - given that iphone has just one phone model. companies like samsung give a phone at every price point to various brackets
I noticed that many new buyers purchase Iphone products, not because the products are superior compared to others but to make statement of pride. They can inform people, that they are financially able to purchase this expensive phone, which many people may not be able to do. Personally, I love Samsung devices because the products are excellent and it's not overpriced like many Apple products. Anyway, everyone has their own preference i guess. But, one should buy a product not just to impress others, but because of the products usability.

To Show off is the very essence of Human Development. If there was show off, there wouldn't be any civilization. Its the eager to have better is the reason you have a PC from where you are writing this text.

There is no doubt that Apple products are way superior that most of the Samsung gadgets. Samsung has a range of products but Apple does not. You can compare only the high end products of Samsung like Note with iPhone which comes at almost the same price range. Now coming to usability. If that would have the only thing that a buyer would look at then no one would have bought a BMW or Merc, everyone would have been content with a Honda City.

Well, I think Merc is Samsung and Honda City is iPhone here in your discussion from usability point of view. From the price point of view your opininion is correct. Its waste to buy a honda city for the price of Merc or BMW. This is what is iPhone.
This article is just a fanboy article. Don't take it seriously.
The iSheeps are falling to new heights to promote their "IPhone". May sell well but will it become a general commodity? I doubt that. Specially in India, the price is a loot at around Rs48,000

Yes P1 (12 year old model) still works with Windows 7 and 8 too. The reply was related to Sudhir who says it lasted him 3 years.

Sudhir, pls try to do these small things with iPhone and tell me if you have a break thru' ?
1. Pls dont switch off 3G or WiFi ? Can your battery last more than 7-8 hours ?
2. Can you transfer anything or recieve anything to/from other phones using bluetooth unless both have iphones ?
3. Can you have more memory storage than 16 GB fixed ?
4. Can you type an email or sms in seconds using swype technology ?
5. You dont get instant emails unless ur 3G or WiFi is on ? What a waste of phone bcoz u cant keep it ON always since its an iPhone.
If you still love your phonee, nothing wrong with it, but its only bcoz u have blind belief and no rational behind it.

The folliwing are my honest answers which has rational behind it and im not talking abt favouritism here: 1. Pls dont switch off 3G or WiFi ? Can your battery last more than 7-8 hours ? Ans: I have iPhone4 with 3G and Wifi On it lasts 10 hrs. I never switch these two off.
2. Can you transfer anything or recieve anything to/from other phones using bluetooth unless both have iphones ? Ans: I dont need this at all.
3. Can you have more memory storage than 16 GB fixed ? Ans: A smartphone is not a PC to hold hundreds of GBs of space. Andmoreover bulk of space on a smartphone is required for people who hold thousands of songs, movies on a smartphone (as if thats the only feature of the phone :))
4. Can you type an email or sms in seconds using swype technology ? Ans: Currently No, but i dont think thats a big problem.
5. You dont get instant emails unless ur 3G or WiFi is on ? What a waste of phone bcoz u cant keep it ON always since its an iPhone. Ans: I always keep 3g and wifi on and i dont think thats a prob because even after i reach home im still left with 25 % battery.
How can you say android people heart are towards IOS never will own a iphone. My friend is yet to come out of shock seeing my Note, he is having a Iphone 4s
While I completely agree that iPhone 5 will sell, oweing largely to the hype it will generate, I disagree with Munster's study about "less than 20 per cent of current Android users have their hearts set on remaining with Android". Seems like Munster's a Apple paid agency. It is very evident, with the faster release cycles of Android, plethora of equipment manufacturers, and ever-growing play store, Android sales are on the rise. People who have experienced the freedom that android offers, would actually never go back into the Apple's restricted eco-system.
