• Features
IPhone 5 has the standard applications that are expected from smartphones, plus a few notable ones; Siri, Safari, iSight camera, iCloud and Passbook. While these are some unique features, they just don’t answer to the IPhone’s fans for wanting new and better features and applications.
Samsung Galaxy SIII has so many new, useful and intriguing applications such as smart stay, direct call smart alert, social tag, sVoice, sBeam, Share Cast, All Share Play and Smart keyboard. Also included are the standard Google search, Google maps, Gmail, YouTube and Google play store.Huge points go to Samsung for the new features and applications it offers.
• Results
Apple’s IPhone appears to be stuck in rut software wise. Users were expecting more of a bang for their buck with the IPhone 5, unfortunately it didn’t deliver with the IPhone 5 and speculation is that there won’t be much marked improvement in the new IPhone 6. IPhone autonomy has been totally usurped by the Samsung Galaxy S III, and it is unsure whether Apple will change direction with the IPhone and be able to regain its leadership in the smartphone market.
