4g is just a selling point. AT&T wanted apple to switch the 3G logo on the 4s but apple said no. SimPly because there was no 4 g speeds. All the carriers wish they were running true 4g. Just a silly selling point for the in informed customer.

Samsung is very cheap company...!

I think apple is too good. Samsung is following the Leader and world knows it. Samsung only & only galaxy s2 and Android are good too as they would be blind and dumb not to copy Apple is the leader now. BTW Samsung battery backup is not good. Apple costly but worth it.

If I'm not mistaking, did Samsung manufacture the A5 chip & the iPhone 3G?? If so this talk about who's phones are better are silly. It's all PERSONAL preference, get over yourselves. LoL

Nobo1 - November 23, 2011 at 7:15pm

No they didn't manufacture 3GS

I'm just wondering why every iFan get nasty when they get their feelings hurt? guys just take it easy.....let others promote their stuff.......apple's marketing department is the number 1 making fun of others companies when they release a new toy.....pls accept that since apple start making androids imitations (widgets, notifications at the top of the screen, lock screens pops, air sync, etc) the iOS had just fail!!!!! battery issues, my iPad 2 freezes like crazy, etc. so be polite and don't get soooooo nasty .....face it ....you are not alone in this world......others phone are as good as the iPhone or even better....

CaseAce69 don't get passionate please, you live in a free world with freedom of speech. Please bear with it :)

This is what we call trying to get a share of the pie. Now Samsung can forget about getting a share from Apple the fans pie. Apple is not just about a hardware in your daily use of gadgets, it's a heritage, it's a revolution and it's a change that you need. Because its a unique leader the others are followers. Take your turn one at a time, first Microsoft and now Samsung, I wonder whose next.

KhantastiK - November 23, 2011 at 1:04pm

*the Apple fans' pie

correct completly aggreed

Now that is funny... I left the iphone because of the screen size and OMG NO REGRETS.. I love the new Samsung Galaxy SII.. I got mine from Germany but I live in the US and it is FREAKING AWESOME.. I honestly will say that If the iPhone was a 4.2 screen I probably wouldnt of left but I am blown away at the stuff you can do and how the phone just looks with everything on and it is a great great phone..

Patrick - November 23, 2011 at 2:20pm

I guess it does.. If I want to keep looking at the same screen I would of stayed with it but something that has the same screen size for years and the same as the ipod touch then na.... I upgraded to a 55 in Samsung TV 3D LED in my home office and didnt keep my 32in Sony so...... To me it works and is great.. to others it might not be..

KhantastiK - November 23, 2011 at 2:42pm

Why do Americans say "would of" instead of "would have" or would've ?? Anyone?

Arminium - November 23, 2011 at 5:30pm

Better than woulda

Ninocolato - November 23, 2011 at 11:15am

We should b able of using a smartphone with one hand..... I bet u most people can't use androids with such large displays with just one hand specially women, some guys and specially while driving or when its cold out and dont wanna stick both hands out :D Apples display is estratigically that size to cover this "one hand" issue. And why make fun of ur potential future customers? Ohhh and how is a bigger display and 4g (which never works of course) such a good selling point...... Bad ad..... Somebody in samsung (everybody) has a grudge against apple. Hehe

Anon - November 23, 2011 at 12:01pm

I loved my iphone, but switched from my 3gs to a Galaxy S2 about 2 months ago...never ever had a problem holding it with one hand (yes I have average size hands) and it feels less bulky in my pocket than either the 3gs or iphone4. Quote: "Especially while Driving" - Dude, dangerous...never use a phone while driving..anyone.

Ching - November 23, 2011 at 10:55am

Its Funny but its True............ its just a commerical...apple fan boys......... i get it... apple products are great in their own way.... but lining up for like a day...thats a bit too much (only for the IPhone 4S) tho.. the other models..i get what ppl are thinking......but 4S just a Fail..... I've owned Both IOS n Android...both great in their own ways....soo...Funny Commercial n its True... Smile Appl Fans...this won affect ur life... just watch and Laugh and go on with your Life... no need to disrespect Other ppl or Companies or OSs... great day

Cha - November 23, 2011 at 2:16pm

Truth hurts.

zwabbit - November 23, 2011 at 3:11pm

Agree with you. Great commercial, I never could understand the mentality of waiting days or hours in a line to buy something. If it was life saving :) that's another story. :)

sidheart100 - November 23, 2011 at 10:37am

i love apple because apple loves me..apple is the best in technology and in services..from were the hell android get an idea of its creation from ios..

Hector - November 23, 2011 at 9:35am

Mac vs PC Ads????? Apple went very low with those, only fanboys could like/believe those Ads.

sidheart100 - November 23, 2011 at 10:33am

very correct bro apple rocks

Junaid - November 23, 2011 at 5:24pm

Yeah in that campaign they told about the differences between both and upper edge of mac on windows, but this add contains nothing just a cheap way, they never said that this is 4.5" display 1.2ghz processor, and with everything made by cheap piece of plastic, we are also using free os i.e. Android and we really dont know that this s2 will upgrade to icecream Sandwhich or not cuz its not made by us its been donated by google who dont know that on which hardwares this os could run, hahahaha

iMan - November 23, 2011 at 9:22am

A nice presentation of Samsungs incompetence. Lawl!!

THui - November 23, 2011 at 8:09am

Hey, don't be a racist.

NeHoMaR - November 23, 2011 at 6:54am

So, Samsung is better because the screen is huge?

NeHoMaR - November 24, 2011 at 5:20pm

I was being sarcastic about commercial.

wittybob - November 23, 2011 at 6:03am

Oh, crap. Now I want an Android phone... Not !!!

Guest - November 23, 2011 at 5:55am

There goes another court case!!

MrYogi - November 23, 2011 at 5:40am

Wow worst marketing ever.... This will be in the business books for sure... "what not to do" chapter

Steph - November 23, 2011 at 5:32am

What were they thinking? Another bad PR case study. It will achieve the exact opposite, instead of drawing switchers to Samsung, it will reinforce the brand fidelity of Apple. Both RIM and Samsung need to think forward not play catch-up
