According to the Wall Street Journal the new iPhone could add between 1/4 and 1/2 of a percentage point the economic growth of the United States in the fourth quarter of this year noted J.P. Morgan economist Michael Feroli. Yes the iPhone 5 could help the U.S. economy for the rich, however, out-of-work Americans can’t afford the new iPhone 5.
iPhone 5 Super Sexhay – according to a rap video on CNETV, ”On it the Music Video” the iPhone 5 will be so slim and sexy it will make rappers want to dance with it, hump it and lick it (ewe). We found it entertaining, for a while the rhapsody of 4G LTE, 4″ inch screen, mini connector and since a rapper licks it, is it waterproof or just germ-proof?
New iPhone 5 will have Non-Removable Screws-NOT - not all iPhone rumors can be true. In fact, a Swedish design firm “Day 4″, created a screwy rumor about a kind of screw. Theysketched out a screw in a 3D program, a very strange screw where the head was neither star, tracks, pentalobe or whatever, but a unique very impractical form. They rendered the image, put it in an email, sent it to themselve, took a picture of the screen with the mail and anonymously uploaded the image to the forum Reddit with the text ”A friend took a photo a while ago at that fruit company, they are obviously even creating their own screws. ” In less than ten hours it showed up at Cult of Mac reporting that the next iPhone would have a non-removable screw.

iPhone 4S Or Samsung Galaxy S3: The Public Has Decided
Just recently The Inquirer compared the Samsung Galaxy S3 to the iPhone 4S, taking in aspects like performance, OS, design and build, connectivity, software, camera, storage and battery. The cameras, it seems, were level-pegging, and while the Samsung Galaxy S3 held sway over the iPhone 4S in many ways, the iPhone 4S won out in usability and overall inched forward.
Well readers didn’t agree though, and wrote in in droves to tell the publication what they really thought.
Samsung Galaxy S3 vs iPhone 4S review verdict criticized
One reader told The Inquirer how using the Samsung Galaxy S3 for just an hour made the iPhone 4S feel more like a housebrick. The small screen of the iPhone 4S, said another, made for great typos. Still another bigged up the Samsung Galaxy S3 screen, saying it was perfect for watching films. The Samsung Galaxy S3 sleek lines and faster chip won it a lot of fans too.
Most of the people who got back to The Inquirer were firmly in Camp Samsung, although a few readers were waiting for the iPhone 5 to strut its stuff before pinning their colors to either mast.
One thing really did stand out, though, and that’s the fact that readers overwhelmingly (nine out of ten) think the Samsung Galaxy S3 beats the iPhone 4S. Once the iPhone 5 hits the town, though, this could all change.

Apple iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 2, Rumor vs Reality?
Apple iPhone 5 has been confirmed now to be releasing on September 12th and it is being expected that the device would go on sale 1 week later after that. While the iPhone 5 still has some time left for its release date, it just wouldn’t be fair to ignore the freshly released Samsung Galaxy Note 2. So here it goes, a full head on comparison article between Apple iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy 2.
Screen
Apart from the phone’s design, the part which makes it an attention grabber is its screen, and while iPhone 5′s predecessor were famous only because of the half eaten Apple logo on the back, the next gen iPhone is most probably going to be know for its larger 4 inch display which will most probably come with retina display technology on it.
As for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, well it’s huge, I mean really huge. True, that the iPhone 5 would most probably have more pixel count and an insane pixel density, we don’t think it would stand anywhere near to the Samsung Galaxy Note 2′s 5.5 inch Super AMOLED HD display. After all, size does matter sometimes.
Heart
The iPhone 5′s processor is what you could call one of the biggest mysteries till yet, so far there have been only speculations going around that either the iPhone 5 would feature the same 1GHz Dual core A9 processor of the new iPad or will either go with the trend and make its debut with a quad core heart beating inside it.
While the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 on the other hand, comes with a Exynos 4412 Quad-core 1.6 GHz Cortex-A9 processor, meaning that it would be faster than most of the Android devices so far and all of the iPhones released so far.
Hardware
Just like the phone itself, the iPhone 5′s tech specs are also based on a few rumors and currently those rumors point at 4G LTE, NFC, at least an 8MP rear and an much improved front camera, 1 GB RAM, multiple storage options(at least 16GB) with no choice of adding extra GBs through microSD card, iOS 6 and other standard features like WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 tech specs are more on the official side now, so we know each and every detail, however, just to keep the competition clean enough we are going to list only those categories which we know(or expect) in iPhone 5.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 features 4G LTE, NFC, 8 MP rear and 1.9 MP front camera, 2GB RAM, internal storage of 16/32/64 GB which could be further complemented by 64GB more through a microSD card, Android 4.1 and all the other standard features.
Verdict
From what is known so far, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 definitely has an upper hand in terms of tech specs and display size. However, for some people it is the quality that matters and not the quantity. These people probably own an iPhone 4S or iPhone 4 itself. The final decision is a tough one, but we’re going with Note 2, as it has more to offer for us.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Vs. Apple iPhone 5: Galaxy S3 Sales Boom Ahead of iPhone 5 Launch
Samsung has had a bad few weeks in court, but it seems like it’s been winning hard in the marketplace over the past few months. The South Korean manufacturer earlier reported that it shipped 10 million units of the Galaxy S3 in the first month since its release, and it has since followed it up by disclosing that it has doubled that figure in the succeeding two months.
In the three months from its late May release, this adds up to 20 million Galaxy S3s sold.In comparison, the manufacturer’s previous flagship, the Galaxy S2, took 10 months to reach that figure. Supposedly, European customers were the biggest buyers of the Galaxy S3 at 6 million, with the US sitting second at 4 million and South Koreans snapping up 2.5 million units. Supposedly, Galaxy S3 sales in the US were high enough to make the smartphone the best-selling handset in three of the four major carriers in the country.
However, Samsung’s successful run may be soon nearing its end. Apple has already sent out invitations for a September 12 event, which it heavily hinted could be the formal unveiling of the iPhone 5.
Analysts suggest that the lower performance of the iPhone 4S in the marketplace could be mainly due to the Apple faithful waiting it out for the next-generation iPhone to arrive. This sort of pent-up demand has led to expectations of a massive blowout for the new smartphone: 10 million units sold within the first week, leading up to a phenomenal 200 million sales until the end of the year.

Galaxy S3 vs iPhone 5: More Alike Than They’d Want to Admit
Samsung’s Galaxy S3 was a slap in the face to Apple and its strong market share. The iPhone 5 is almost here, though, and it wants revenge. However, despite the enmity, the two phones are more similar than you might think if rumors prove true.
iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3: The similarities
The Samsung Galaxy S3 chip is a quad-core (in the international version) Exynos Cortex A9. If rumors prove right, the iPhone 5 will have a quad-core Samsung-designed chip too.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 thinness is a real draw for many – just 8.6mm and a mere 133g. The iPhone 5 is expected to have a unibody, making it 7.6mm thick and the thinnest and lightest iPhone ever.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 4.8” screen is bigger than the 4.3” display on the GS2, and the iPhone 5 is believed to be making a similar move, sporting a 4” screen, which is 0.5” bigger than its ancestors just like the S3 is to the S2.
It’s likely – but not certain – that the Gorilla Glass 2 on the Samsung Galaxy S3 display will feature on the iPhone 5 too.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 NFC and LTE mean that users can make payments while on the move – and surf at faster speeds too. The iPhone 5 will most likely feature NFC and LTE, although Samsung has apparently said that if Apple starts dabbling with LTE, Cupertino will face the wrath of its lawyers. Samsung owns a huge raft of LTE patents.
Both phones have an 8MP camera, and the iPhone’s camera has been so well-received that Apple doesn’t need to do much to it. Maybe a slight sensor improvement, but that’s about it.
As the Samsung Galaxy S3 launched first, you’d think that it’d be safe from any more legal action if the iPhone 5 looks anything like it. Maybe not, though – it all rests on who has the biggest dad….sorry – the biggest portfolio of patents.

iPhone 5 vs Galaxy S3: Can Apple Beat Android’s Head Honcho?
The iPhone 5 is almost upon us, and although the Samsung Galaxy S3 has been trouncing the iPhone 4S in the US, its reign over Apple may soon be at an end. Let’s have a quick look at how the Samsung Galaxy S3, the top Android smartphone at the moment, compares to its true rival the iPhone 5. Now keep in mind that the specs of the iPhone 5 are still unconfirmed so this isn’t an official comparison.
Samsung Galaxy S3 vs iPhone 5: Can Apple defeat S3 & as such strike back at Android?
The iPhone 5 launch is next week, then it should be just a fortnight before handsets are actually in hands. The Samsung Galaxy S3 has been on sale for a few months now and passed the 10 million mark in July, becoming Samsung’s fastest seller as well as the best selling Android phone to date, making it the poster child for Android.
Screen: Every iPhone ever has had a 3.5” screen, but the iPhone 5 should come with a 4” widescreen display that’ll mean a 16:9 resolution rather than the traditional 3:2 ratio. So, a larger screen without making the phone wider. As we know, Apple’s ergonomics are amazing, and this change won’t affect this. Upscaling apps might be a problem, but unoptimised apps may have to settle for having two black bars at the ends of the display. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is massive and knows it – the 4.8”screen is a bit too big for some hearts, hands and pockets, and it has the same pixel density as the iPhone. But for media consumption, it is spectacular.
The screen tech in both phones are different – with the iPhone 5 probably retaining its IPS display and the Samsung Galaxy S3 having a Super AMOLED panel. Super AMOLED makes for vivid colors and intense blacks, but IPS is more realistic. After comparing the IPS screen on the HTC One X to the S3 screen, we found the IPS better. But this of course a matter of personal preference. Apple’s PR machine will no doubt proclaim the iPhone 5 screen as life-changing, though.
Design: Recent leaks of iPhone 5 case components suggest that the body will be 1mm thinner than the Samsung Galaxy S3 and its 8.6mm body. While this sounds good, the iPhone 5 will maintain the utilitarian image of the 4S.
We’re expecting a metal body to replace the Gorilla Glass we’ve grown to love (or hate). The iPhone 5 will seem way more high end than the cheapo plastic that’s proved to be a serious downside for the Samsung Galaxy S3 when you consider that it is a flagship device.
Power: The Samsung Galaxy S3 will probably beat the iPhone 5 on processors. It uses the quad-core, 1.4GHz Exynos 4412 chip. Apple has always been known to equip the iPhone 5 with just enough power needed to run the iOS platform smoothly, and nothing more. For instance, the iPhone 4S packs just 512MB RAM and a dual-core processor clocked at just 800MHz.
Connectivity: We all expect a new 9-pin connector for the iPhone 5. This will be of a similar size to the microUSB. This new pin might be niftier, but it’ll also spell doom for the older Apple accessories unless there’s a dock converter to follow. Again, no expandable memory – use the cloud instead.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 is just the opposite. It has microSD support and is MHL compliant so users can output HD video and surround sound through HDMI. You can also drag and drop content rather than using syncing software to transfer files.
Battery: There have been iPhone 5 battery rumors for a year or more, so don’t take them seriously. The battery will probably be 1,430mAh though, which is just two thirds the size of the one in the Samsung Galaxy S3. Samsung went all out with the 2,100mAh battery, as it’s around 20% bigger than its closest rivals’ offerings.
Cameras: There’s been a lot said about the iPhone 5 camera, some of it just silly, with claims verging on the “it’ll make you look like Brad Pitt” level. Some people are saying it’ll feature a 3D camera and a multi-focus sensor. This sensor will let you select various areas of the photo that’ll be sharper. The 3D camera is a bit more fanciful, but we’ll see. The MP count will probably stall at 8MP, which allies it to the Samsung Galaxy S3.
As well as 8MP, the Samsung Galaxy S3 camera has touch focus, LED flash, image stabilisation and 1080p video. The image quality is on a par with the iPhone 4S, and the iPhone 5 is probably going to exceed this (if that is even possible).
Verdict: It’s impossible to say until we see the iPhone 5 which is better but there are many things you can count on. The iPhone 5 will feel more high-end, but won’t have a memory card, and that new socket will fox many users. The Samsung Galaxy S3 will also be selling for a bit less by October, adding to the confusion for many purchasers as it has as much to offer for a lower price tag (it already is $139 on contract over at Amazon Wireless). And let’s not also forget that Apple fans will naturally go for the iPhone 5 and Android for their current king the Samsung Galaxy S3. The bottom line is you can’t go wrong with either.

Samsung Galaxy S3 vs. Nokia Lumia 920: Smartphone Battle Intensifies as iPhone 5 Launch Nears

Samsung, on the other hand, may have felt unthreatened as they boast a significant milestone for its Galaxy S3 smartphone, which passed 20 million units sold, according to a blog post on the company's Website. The smartphone set the record just 100 days after its debut in May 2012, faster than any previous iteration of the Galaxy brand.
Yesterday, IBTimess AU compared the recently released Galaxy Note 2 and Nokia Lumia 920. Below is the comparison of Nokia Lumia 920 against Samsung Galaxy S3.
Design - Both smartphones claimed to have cool designs and are available in different colors that may suit the preference and lifestyle of users.
Screen Display - The Nokia Lumia 920 sports a 4.5 inch display screen while the Galaxy S3 has 4.3 inch screen size.
Camera - Both devices are equipped of 8MP shooters. However, Nokia promises that the Lumia 920 will allow more light to enter the lens that will enable the device to take clearer and sharper pictures.
Operating System - One of the main differences of the two smartphones is its operating system. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is packed with Android software, Ice Cream Sandwich. A Jelly Bean update is expected to roll out in the next few days or weeks. The Lumia 920, on the other hand, is equipped with new Windows 8 OS.

Based on the aforementioned features, the Samsung Galaxy S3 remained superior compared to the Lumia 920. However, this could change when Apple introduce its flagship phone on September 12.
The iPhone 5 is expected to be introduced in a media event next week. Rumors said that it will include a larger 4-inch screen that can help it compete with the bigger displays found on the Galaxy S III and other rival devices. Moreover, it will sport a reconfigured charging dock with fewer pins.
Other features such as 4G/LTE connectivity, NFC capabilities and a more powerful battery are expected to find their way onto the iPhone 5.
