Hi,

I am probably the only one watching in disbelief as this debate is raging on. All the while I have been thinking that choice is a good thing hence iPhone 5c/s, Samsung Galaxy, Note, HTCs, Lumias and the likes. We cannot all love the same thing due to our different preferrences, personalities, cultures and economic backgrounds. That means that there cannot be an "ultimate" handset or tablet computer for everyone.

The fact that Apple has released a slightly more affordable phone with several features introduced means that choice and competition are working for the benefit of consumers, no?

Martin.

I was waiting for the Android Fanboys to crawl out of the woodwork and start bashing the new releases. @Martin best phone is very relative. Clearly you are on Samsung's payroll so to tell us the galaxy note whatever is the best is being rather disingenuous.

The 64 bit kernel, the improved camera, the fingerprint scanner are on a production device. Not a prototype or concept and this is why the iPhones will be flying off the shelf. Telling me the specs are not impressive is besides the point. Do you buy specs or a reliable product and pleasurable experience? Chips or memories?

@okech I concur the problem people have is on price and nothing else. I would personally love an iPhone but my rent and food is kinda more important. For those who can afford, iPhone is at the top and I totally understand why.

@Dennis,

 

Guess that's the difference between having the idea (Samsung/Sony) and implementing it (Apple). Apple filed in Jan 2013 and less than a year later, have implemented it.

 

Samsung filed it in Jan 2012 (Approved in May 2013).

 

Sony filed for the same in Mar 2012.

 

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter any more. Apple rolled the feature first, any implementations by competitors will be seen as copying

Fingerprint scanning has been on PCs for ages, makes you wonder why competitors never thought about porting it.
