Chitika: iPhone 5 Passes Samsung Galaxy S III in Web Usage

[Chlloret]

So you're basically saying that iOS is stable, consistent and bug free.

1. Apps developers are forced to update all their apps for iPhone 5 larger screen. It takes time to update apps and if the developers abandoned the app you SOL.

2. There are plenty of apps that are buggy and are not compatible with iOS 6. Just read some of the reviews. Even Tim apologized for maps.

3. iOS 6 on 3GS vs 4 vs 4s vs 5 vs iPad vs iPad 2 vs new iPad. Not one version is exactly the same across the board. My iPhone 4 is not good enough for turn by turn directions but any Android device with 2.0 and above has it.

4. And now you have 5 processors, 600mhz A8, A4, A5, A5X and A6. No different than all the the processors that Android has.

5. 5 screen resolutions across different iOS devices but Android devices can handle different screen sizes and resolution much better than iOS. The Android OS is much more flexible for different device types.

Your points were true maybe 2 years ago but Google keeps making Android better with every update. Apple just sits back content with what Steve Jobs created 5 years ago.

1) nobody ist "forced" to do anything. But if you like to keep the income from your App, you should invest the very little time to do so. However, ALL apps run of course as is.

2) of course there are sloppy apps. So? What got that to do with the system? The new maps is buggy? I was not aware of that. Some POIs are wrong or better not there, but hey, it comes with the phone, you do not like it, simply use another app.

3). At least, you get the choice to use the new software. Nobody says you HAVE to upgrade. I use still 5.01 on my 4 and on my iPad2. Works perfect, so why change? With Android, you have no choice, you get old software and seldom the chance of any updates. You simply have to buy a new phone.
Btw, my old 3 ( not 3GS) had turn by turn navigation and is still used in my daughters car for that and her music. My 4 also got it, so why should your's not be capable?

4) no Idea what you mean by that.

5) not really. You got two for the iPhone, original/retina (the same for the apps) and the new streched one and one for iPad, original/retina, like with the phone, identical what the apps are concerned.

Android is getting better, but only a small percentage of users will ever notice as the manufacturers refuse to update there devices. And I am quite sure that a few hundred or better thousend programmers that are involved with iOS resent that they only do S.J. work, far from it.

Lost it damn you lol

Ahh - but at least Google Maps gave you roads that exist

Seriously, though, I've had several experience with Google Maps (particularly in King County in Washington state) has given me highway exits that didn't actually exist.

Wow, I love how the blind loyalists just quickly jump over any survey results that put Apple in a favorable light, but are completely skeptical of anything that puts Apple in a negative light or puts the competition in a favorable position.

LISTEN CAREFULLY:

All this means is that the iPhone is tracked more easily than the GS3. There is nothing to be excited about here. It's just downright pathetic. Your browsing is more easily tracked. Your proud of something majority of this world does not want, a breach of your privacy. I would easily say the average GS3 user is a lot more informed about privacy settings than the average iPhone user.

There's already a thread about this issue here.

And this was the Source quoted in the thread.

NO, YOU LISTEN CAREFULLY:

You have no more evidence for making the claims you're making than anyone jumping to Apple's defense, therefore you are having the same sort of reaction as others, just in the opposite direction. All we know is what the data shows. Extrapolation about what it means for sales, tracking, user preferences, etc. are entirely a matter of personal bias. Unless you have Tim Cook on speed dial and can confirm what you're saying, your claims are simply the product of similar assumptions and biases. I suggest you stop lecturing people.

ok, but are they passing them in sales? Some Android folks are saying the Galaxy is passing Apple in sales.

The SIII just sold 10 million units in 2 months..... The iPhone 5 sold 5 million in the first weekend opening.. Pretty sure the iPhone5 if not already surpass Samsung by a wide margin

 

[Fishticks]

I defended the Maps app to a family member not long ago arguing "What? You haven't upgraded the iOS6 because you're afraid of the maps problems you've read online?! Upgrade!" then the next day I used the app and I couldn't find a elementary school in my area and also couldn't find a park in my area. I live in a major Canadian city so I was pretty surprised.

So ?
Have you come to any conclusions regarding your technical knowledge and the behaviour you should have in the future?

 

[faizanshakyboy]

I guess the Galaxy S III users are all too busy tweaking and installing widgets to actually use the phone.

Another very useful study! Keep'em coming!

 

[marksman]

Somewhat continues supporting the evidence that Android users, by and large, don't represent mainstream user behaviors like surfing the web. Possible they don't even know how to access and use all that power they hold in their hands.

They don't know enough to matter.

Most people buy android devices as cell phones. Most iPhone purchasers are buying computers that can also make phone calls.

Well, in my opinion that statistic does not say anything that can be linked to actual usage of a device or how widespread a device is. Its just saying that a iPhone5 uses more traffic than a Galaxy.
Which I guess could somehow be traced back to the iCloud/iMatch integration and if you buy an iPhone5 it probably first starts syncing everything over the net and constantly syncs afterwards.

Also the statistic says that they compared the data from ad traffic, which could also mean that Android users are so smart that they have an ad blocker installed.

It's like a statistic saying that owners of Car X using more gas than owners of Car Y without comparing those values with sales data or how many devices are responsible for the traffic.

Its just a study. But in this particular case, it says exactly what the majority of the posters in this thread have been re-iterating: iPhone users access the web from their smartphones more frequently than do Android users. And when you consider the overwhelming market share of total smartphones that run Android, that's not only surprising, that's telling.

Its up to you to determine what the data is telling us. For me, it tells us that the majority of Android users bought their smartphones but really don't use them as such.

I see....

 

[aarif2012]

still a surprise..in my view, from all way, S3 is a better device.

More mind boggling (other than a vested interest because you own stock) is even caring whether the phone you use/like is the best selling or where it ranks. It's personal preference. Ratings, reviews, specs, etc do matter. But there are plenty of things that get great reviews that don't sell well. Devices that have great specs that don't sell well. Etc. At the end of the day - I care more about what my device can do for me. I don't care whether or not my friend, neighbor, guy down the street, etc has. I don't live their life nor is their use case mine.

This.
