Funny how easily people get upset over here!
If you are to see this ad, on it's own, you should be smart enough to figure out it doesn't just target iPhones. Actually, the iPhone isn't even mentioned.
Clever ad, just no clever people on here
No, there are plenty of clever people on here. There are just also plenty of people that will grasp absolutely anything at all that makes them able to think Apple users are stupid, and cling to it like it's pure gold. If it really makes you that happy....
This ad targets people about to board a plane. LTE is irrelevant for this discussion. So stick to his other points. What are you going to be using the phone for on the plane? And is that something you wish to do in black and white? (i'm not saying there isn't something, i'm just saying this is what the discussion should be).
yep. after reading through this thread I really wonder if we are using the same phones. I love my iphone 5S but it certainly does not have great (or even adequate) battery life. It practically never lasts through the day without recharging. and airports? I could star in those Samsung commercials myself. The first thing I do is look for power outlets. (thankfully, this is not a problem at Pearson, which now has computer lounges everywhere - with ipads btw). Else I am in big trouble, especially on transatlantic flights. Personally, I hope Samsung runs these ads all the time for a year. Perhaps Apple will finally go for better battery life rather than extra thinness with iphone 6S.

I never have to charge my iPhone 5s during the day. I charge it each night. Typically down to 30% charge at end of day. So better battery life is not a concern for me.
Point is you can use the phone in ultra mode knowing you are not going to be near an outlet without fear of your cell dying.
I went to foxwoods the other day and had no car charger with me and we went there for a day and a half and I made it using ultra mode.
The cell could receive texts and calls when sleeping and I could use fb and chrome on 4G during the day when I needed to.
After a day and a half I lost maybe 15% battery life and used my cell without fear of it dying.
I'm sorry but this is huge and is the most innovative area in cell phones that only samsung has adressed
I go out all the time with my friends that use 5s iphones and I swear every single night we go out they all ask the lady or guy at the bar to plug there cell in to charge.
I'm not making this up its like a normal thing now and I see it all the time.
Fridays now even has plugs under the bar area for people to charge there phones

If i actually had the time, and the inclination to go back and look up all the apps we had tried, i would bother. But i don't. We are all iOS for several years, and it's been a lot less hassle.
I could imagine it going something like this: You're an avid iPhone user about to run out of battery. Who are you essentially turning to, by plugging your phone in? Your phone company's competitor, Samsung.
Battery drains when you use it. Many people complains about iPhone's battery life because many people is using it.
The old Nokia can have a week standby time without a charge if you didn't play snake. But these days, no one play snake - or at least not on the old Nokia.
Battery life is an issue to smartphones, not iPhone - or not just iPhone. Apps, reception, screen power, size all are the sum of battery consumption.
Have you ever seen an AMG or Lambo owner complains about their rides draining gasoline?
I agree battery die in the middle of something feel sucks and believe Apple is doing its balance well better than others (look at iPad), but who would floor the gas on a Lambo then complain its mile per lit. come on Samsong!

OH ok that makes sense. You should have mentioned you were talking about your experience of Android from over 3 years ago..back when Android was on version 2.0
I'll bet money a lot of it has to do with location, and cell reception. When i'm at home (San Diego) I get decent battery life. When I travel to some other cities... I often get much worse battery life. I've always assumed that it's because my carrier gets worse coverage there... and has to expend a lot more energy searching for signal.... etc.
I'd be curious to hear some examples of how this has been a real issue.

No
No need to be glub about it. I responded to your comment that you could not think of one single reason why someone would choose an Apple device over an Android. I gave you one. Many thoughtful people on here have already mentioned a number of reasons. Some didn't even make it sound like they were reasons that were superior, just their preference. If you feel you need to belittle those reasons, fine. Whatever. I have to remember to think about who I respond to, and whether it is someone that is actually trying to have an objective intelligent conversation.
In the US...
----------
Yes but none of your reasons were valid with the exception of OEM support. Apple's support is usually good everytime I have had to use it.
When I had a Samsung I NEVER plugged it in to charge. 90% of the time I'd just swap my battery..or I'd top it off with a wireless charger.
There is great value in being able to charge a battery separately from your phone and it really changes the way you use your phone.
Huh? Examples of what... what issue are you referring to?
Think you quoted the wrong post.
Where you said installing software multiple devices with different versions etc.
Woops yeah wrong post sorry
I'm not disputing any of that.... and i've got no idea of battery life per models are. My only comment on this subject was that while some people pointed out that they see more iPhone users charging, this is not exactly indicative of anything. Apple is the largest phone vender. There are more iPhones than any other. If there are more of one type of phone in the wild, you will see more of said phone in the wild charging.
With being able to charge on planes now, This is become less and less of an issue, but since the battery life keeps getting better we will see where the iPhone 6 will fall.
What do you mean? They have 41% of the US market but way less in the rest of the world.
This is why it is smart advertising for Samsung. The eyeballs most likely to see it are those using a phone other than a Samsung. Personally I don't see what the big whoopla is. Many users care more about using what they know than anything else.
