Same thing happend to my brother. He knocked a bottle of coke over his iPhone, no insurance and the phone was out of warranty. Apple replaced it for £120.
My wife fully agrees with you

Intimidating is how Samsung works in South Korea. You wouldn't dare criticising them in South Korea, or risk seeing your career going downhill.
I did, just that. For some reason Sprint stated otherwise, made no sense to me.
Apple should never be involved with a claim involving a monthly-warranty company, and vice-versa, so how the heck is there a situation where "neither take responsibility"?
If he paid monthly insurance, and dropped his phone into the toilet, Apple would quite rightfully refuse to repair it. The insurance company _should_ pay, but that doesn't mean they will.
I've had nothing but great experiences with my iPhones, I've been lucky. Of course it doesn't hurt having worked for the company with connections, but they were never involved.
BTW... I found the ads to be annoying... but, they we're affective I think in getting Samsung to the top spot they're in now. Not only against the iPhone, but against other Droid phones.
Personally... I won't change from my iPhone for what they've shown. Not worth the hassle of starting from scratch... plus... the iPhone does more than what I need, so why change?
It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the long run when Samsung runs out of useful features and just is cluttering their phones with gimmicks. Which, from what I've seen is already the case with some of their "big features". I think the only real advantage they have now is screen size choice over an iPhone... but not over other Android phones... so... what's next? I guess we'll see soon... the model of the month should be coming out soon.

The ad basically says samsung is great and Apple is bad.
People hear blah blah blah samsung blah blah Apple.
And they are like oohhh Apple that's the iPhone right, etc etc.
So really they are in a reverse way advertising Apple too. As the saying goes, all news is good news.
samsung need to say nothing about Apple at all.

He was saying that it's surprising that Samsung came out as the one dominant android phone. Take windows for instance, there was no one leader in windows computer.
I thought the commercials were brilliant, funny and witty. And I live in the apple ecosystem. Why did you think the ads sucked?
Most likely they were making fun of Apple and not Apple making fun of PC. You know it is a sin to bad mouth Apple in any way.
Are we thinking of the same MR? If anything, people who objected to it would get a "warning" for calling them out on it. I speak from experience. This place has become a haven for paid shills promoting Android.Bingo. If Samsung Executive Arno Lenior had used language like that in MR discussions, he would have earned a time-out from the moderators.
I have given up on contributing any knowledge on here because of it. I work in software development on windows but I'm also a registered iOS developer working on some interesting projects. But again, I have been abused by moderators here to the point that I stopped caring enough to contribute ideas and help out others here. It is not friendly to mac and iOS users anymore.
Seriously. It's not the best move to poke fun at the users you want to switch to your platform. That's one of the things I disliked about those ads. I popped over to the comments to see if I was the only one or not. Good to see it's not just me.
Negative ads do work because more than 50% of the herd is not that intelligent to decide what to buy. They buy things which are cheap and looks superior to their rivals no matter that don't work in reality. Its all about making themselves feel good and smart lol
Also bigger screen iPhone IF it comes will get back those buyers which switched to samsung only for the reason of big screen. Finally Apple wins, yes because I say so

This, this right here. Apple puts a bit more thought into the features they add rather than just tossing useless features in (I feel this way about their computers especially. They're kept clean and simple, to the basics of what I really need. They're not bloated with tons of junk). I have a few friends that like to tout all the latest and greatest features, but most of them are... meh, whatever. Realistically, my phone does everything it is suppose to, especially the being a phone part.
Though, I will admit, there are some upcoming technologies I'd like to see put into the phone. It's at a point though where that tech isn't widespread yet, so it doesn't bother me that they leave it out. They may not always be leading the charge, but they're also not weighting us down with useless stuff.
On the flip side of all this, I do think Apple needs to bring a little bang into their next iteration. It has felt a bit like a slow and steady pace, a good one albeit, but still. However, that slow and steady pace doesn't scare me away. At the core of it all, I have what I need/want out of a phone.

It shocked me the first time this happened to me. I loved it, it was great. I'm not a big fan of dealing with customer service or going into the Apple store because of the people, the crowds. They got me in and out though and respected my level of knowledge with technology, so didn't feel like I was being talked down to.
My dealings with other companies, to get any sort of reasonable customer service, usually came down to making a big deal on their Facebook page before they'd actually give me some real customer service. Even then, it was spotty.
No, but perhaps you are the only one with an unbias opinion of how unbias you are. You pacifically site the S4 and the HTC One. Your pitcher should be in the Hall of Fame.
