Samsung Posts 'Golden' History of Samsung Phones to Silence Critics

Posted September 27, 2013 at 8:43pm by iClarified
Following criticism that it copied Apple by releasing a gold Galaxy S4, Samsung has posted the 'Golden' History of Samsung Phones in an attempt to silence its critics.

The post highlights eight devices that Samsung released in a gold color dating back to 2004, before the iPhone existed.

In a Facebook post, the company also notes that the first Samsung Galaxy S4 Gold Edition was available in stores on September 8th, even before Apple announced the iPhone 5s. Of course, parts for a gold iPhone leaked out months ago.

Serious question here, so what exactly has changed about this iPhone 5S? Other than the color and the fingerprint unlock for the phone. iOS 7 you can get on your iPhone 5 so that's not new, so what else am I looking at here? I don't want to go to the Apple website or call customer service to get an answer I want to hear it from you consumers and experts on the subject don't mean to sound sarcastic but some of you make yourselves out to be experts(and maybe you are, who knows).

Dully noted my good sir, though your rant had nothing to do with the topic other than expressing how you switched to Apple
TheRealNoGoodNick
TheRealNoGoodNick - September 29, 2013 at 2:52pm
No, your little whine about my comment in the first sentence about "Samsung should make iPhone" is why I brought up the sueing thing, compare my comments to yousr by the first sentence, my comment then yours one by one do the same for the rest and see how on topic I was! Not trying or sounding to be right!
p2p
p2p - September 29, 2013 at 3:02pm
I don't know what your talking about bro, are you supposed to be the Xratedpervert, because you do realize that any reply to the original post automatically appears on the bottom of the last reply to that original post. Therefore, my comment had nothing to do with yours buddy but to the original post. Sorry for the confusion but its not my fault and that was not directed at you otherwise my comment wouldn't make sense.
TheRealNoGoodNick
TheRealNoGoodNick - September 29, 2013 at 3:08pm
When you said "Samsung should make iPhone" that's when I thought they would copy meaning "sue" get it now? And FYI I already know how comments worked years ago, why tell me again, it's still replying to who ever is talking at me even if I use @"username" for example doesn't matter if it's a different user but it's still talking to both of them!
p2p
p2p - September 29, 2013 at 3:17pm
Never said such nonsense about Samsung should make iPhone. What in the world are you talking about man!? Ok bro, we're getting no where here you seem confused...so ok bud, whatever you say have a nice day ;-)
TheRealNoGoodNick
TheRealNoGoodNick - September 29, 2013 at 3:20pm
Maybe you were referring to what I said above your first comment, ironically you were just talking about who I was talking to who but now it happened to you, sure "whatever" ROFL!

Samsung is like an unfaithful wife who i caught red handed cheating, then say million coverup stories yet, its cheap. Lets face the truth. Am still using 3GS, still working perfect no flow issues, no stucking no errors no headaches. Trust me my girlfriend has a galaxy s1, totally unusable, if she has 500 texts in her inbox, phone is not buggy, it literally become a bug. If u need hardware to match with software, hardware producers should produce their own software so it will perform better. thats well known Part 2 is, apple iphone is not what their technology can do, its what a user need to make a user oriented easy to use device. Do anyone here think apple cant do fancy useless things samsung does? like turn the page for a wave of ur head? im pretty sure they can... but seriously, if i dont hv a thumb left in ur body, u wont probably using a phone at all. Part 3 bigger screens are ok.. but how big are we talking here? i prefer a screen which i can reach every corner with my thumb while holding it in the same hand. can u do that with a galaxy s4? YES, if u r Incredible Hulk. I would feel like am havng a cutting board if i hv a galaxy in my pocket. be serious, be practical. Or supply jeans with every phone. then OS, android is vulnerable. it can be hacked backdoors can be opened can be exploited. Every Os is including iOS but relativity is the key here.Androids own play store cant control the distribution of malware. system crashes, stuck ups are common, if u hv more than 1000 txts in ur phone, good luck with typing. its lagging like a slug. I hv 20000+ txts in my iPhone, still work like magic. in generally. I cant use any android phone. not because i am an apple fan. But i love the simplicity. apple devices dont come with a manual. well guess why? ;) For some one, might say am an idiot, here's the deal. I hold BSC in applied science and im a navigator in profession using complicated electronics everyday. But why would i use complicated devices in my day to day life. Simplicity is the near perfection. U know how many confusing menus Galaxy s has n it. Apple dont support hokums like more mega pixels, u can have 100 MP camera, whats the use? r u going to print a bill board? instead they have better enhancements, Wake up everyone, this is where u need to use the technology.. not to invent things move when u blink! Samsung I strongly believe have the best fans of apple, hired in their design core. This is not how they should do marketing.. Doing the same thing others do, do the same thing, copying is a good thing, but at least copy it with a twist. dont copy from bezel to spray paint.. ok samsung ones are slightly bigger :P still?? cmon u can do better.. I dont hate android or samsung, just dont see a promising device for me in everyday use that will last long. And i use all the features in my iPhone. do samsung user can do it? probably.. but as a percentage? Literally ALL! now its time for all samsung users to tell me all the hateful things. + useless facts like 5c C stands for cancer. :P

That's why i love apple devices. I have a smartphone in my pocket with all the stuff i need, bank accounts and everything, and not a smartphone to only have half of the things in it because it's insecure. I like to carry with me all the stuff in my pocket without worry about...

This prove many apple accesories such as toy compatible apps, projectors, cleaning tool, and anything else from brookstone are mainly made for iDevices than anything else!

TheRealNoGoodNick - September 29, 2013 at 2:54pm
This proves you have enough to look back at people's comments and "show evidence" of where their mistake is, talk about reading an essay ROFL!!
p2p
p2p - September 29, 2013 at 3:13pm
I am at a loss for words for you my friend. I will explain anyways, first of all it was a joke and not "EVIDENCE" of mistakes please...quote directly from my comment and show me where I stated a mistake from the original comment. My comments are not even directed at you and yet here you are being a douche and overly defensive on a simple comment that had NOTHING to do with you. Secondly, I can care less if people like to write extremely long comments AGAIN, it was a JOKE. You seem to be confusing my comments with yours, just because your in thread does NOT automatically mean EVERY comment posted after yours is a direct attack at you. We are off subject here and we digress good luck in whatever you do bro.

Why do you think zi bought it up to you, I only make it long for trolls only and not you thank you for asking! You seemed to be having a rough day figuring it all out anyway, good day!

Exactly, a bunch of tacky phones that show Samsung's design direction before iPhone.

Tacky or not they did make gold phones before apple did.

It won't matter if Samsung makes the best phone in the world because the Android OS will always be garbage.

Samsung is way ahead in technology than apple just has an fingerprint scanner that can be hacked, that's all and an Operating system for kids not good for apple.
gamerscul9870
gamerscul9870 - September 28, 2013 at 1:34am
Way ahead further behind in technology, where is the awards and their charts saying their os is better when it's not? When did they ever beat apple, by stealing what's theirs?

It's nice Samsung is trying to deflect, and they have released gold phones in the past but it can't be a coincidence that they just released a phone in gold after the massive popularity of Apple's gold iPhone
