Me too. So much has changed since the iPhone popped up in 2007 and while iOS is great it could stand to take advantage of new ideas that have come around since it was created. Useful widgets, information on the lock screen, informative app icons, more advanced camera software, and better social media integration would be a nice start but there's a lot more.
Apple could also do a good cleaning up of some of the built-in apps. Youtube, Maps, iTunes and the App Store all could use an overhaul and Settings is getting tedious to use when you have to manage dozens of third-party apps.
That's cause they're comparing it to the HTC One X which is definitely a more stylish phone.

No, because it won't fit in the damn blender.
edit: Posting hilarious reply timing...I missed it by t-h-a-t much.
S3 will never sell anything close to the iphone4S
And S4 will never sell anything like the iphone5... FACT
I'll give Samsung one thing. TouchWiz looks more better. Overall I am not a fan of the design.
HTC, Nokia and Apple will always be the leaders when it comes to looks.
HEY I CAN WRITE IN BOLD TOO

In other news Android had most of these features already in its OS, these are just manufacturer based changes. Siri like features have been in Android before Apple even bought Siri.
Apple purchased most of its "swag" and just added it to its OS. Apple isn't inventing things out of thin air.
MG Siegler is a clown openly admitting that he is an Apple fanboi. Most techcrunch readers are ignoring him or laugh at him.
well said, the YouTube app is embarrassing. i only use the website nowadays.
its also annoying to go into settings for every little thing. they could easily let siri handle some of this "turn off wifi/blue tooth" etc. stuff. i know i know siri is STILL beta
and why oh why is the lockscreen still of no use, they could do so much with it
something like this, of course prettier to be on apple standard
Apple is the only company in the history of the world (which would make them the first company EVER to also think of and invent) voice recognition, cloud storage, a music matching service, wireless play, an mp3 player, and RETAIL STORES?
I like some of the community here at times, but sometimes you're disturbingly delusion fanboys, and it shows.
I've got the Galaxy SII - it does feel big and clumsy to use as a phone (compared with the tiny Nokia I had before anyway). But it's a great device and works well with Ice Cream Sandwich. I'm sure the SIII will be a great success.
I got the SII because here in the UK it's much cheaper on contract than an iPhone.
I do like Android as a long time Mac user it feels like the old days in some ways.

Holy crap! Look at the size of that f*er! As a guy, I like to be able to easily pocket my phone, especially when I go out at night. I like when I can sit down and the phone fits easily in my pocket. I would be forced to buy a holster or backpack harness if I bought that phone.
