Welcome to the Official Redemption® Message Board!
For a comparison: (note, the US version of the S3 runs a 1.5 Ghz dual core, vs the 1 Ghz Quad they put in the iPhone 5)
Lol, SD? Wasn't that so last millennium? I can't even remember the last time I have ever needed an SD slot. Who needs SD (portable storage more importantly) when you have 64 GB monster storage built in coupled with iTunes and iCloud?
Samsung also owes Apple a billion dollars. Because Samsung doesn't do much besides imitate and steal patents.
The 64 GB version isn't even out yet (hard not to see as another move copying Apple since Samsung creates the processor and memory chips for Apple). You could have support for a googolplex GB SD card and it still wouldn't matter. Portable storage is on its way out, it's completely obsolete in this day and age.
Apple is not only a company that has a documented history of copying others work, but used to be very open and even PROUD of that fact. Apple has stolen hundreds of design and software features of Android, the jailbreaking community, and yes even some from Microsoft. Some of the "innovations" that Apple claimed Samsung stole from it's iPhones are present on earlier devices by other companies that just didn't patent them because HOW CAN YOU PATENT A RECTANGLE WITH ROUNDED EDGES.
Yeah go ahead, you pay for the extra $200 to get an iphone with 64 gb storage. I'll buy a Galaxy SIII for $200 less than your iphone, buy a 64 GB SD card for $60, and have 86 GB of total storage for 140 bucks less. Android also has Google Drive for their cloud sharing.
Wait, what? Read that back to yourself. Samsung is copying apple by using 64 GB when SAMSUNG IS THE ONE THAT MAKES THE 64 MB CHIPS? That doesn't make any logical sense and apple is far from the first company to make a device with 64 GB of flash storage, and they certainly don't own any patents on flash storage technology.
How can you say portable storage is on it's way out when your iphone IS a portable storage device?
How could portable storage be on it's way out at all? Cloud streaming?
My statement was more tongue in cheek than anything. And whether it's been proven or not that Apple has stolen ideas from predecessors is neither here or there; at least Apple has the common sense to patent its property and make a free billion bucks off it.
I prefer having more internal storage than messing around with extra accessories for my device that are absolutely useless in 99% of most cases. What's the point when you can just buy more on-board memory if you need it? Save a few extra dollars? Not worth the inconvenience. The iPhone 5 also has a $200 and $300 model.And let's be realistic, does anyone ever need 86 GB of memory on their phone? I have a 32GB iPhone 4s and barely use over 17GB of it.
I'm not sure how you're making any correlation at all between the fact Samsung makes the 64 GB memory chips and the actual practice of implementing 64 GB of storage in a phone before a competitor. Apple is the first to do it. Samsung follows suit. Samsung salty much?
Lulz no, it's a phone and multi-media device first and foremost. Seriously, who uses their phone as portable storage? Samsung apparently, with their portable storage...uh, for a portable storage device?
You answered your own question. It's a technology that completely makes portable storage obsolete, and frankly it's quite irrelevant how many people have access to it when we're talking about cellular devices here.
How exactly is expanding a phones memory "completely useless"?
Should you ever exceed the storage on your phone (which some people do) I don't think you'll find it useless anymore.
There is no possible situation in which upgrading your storage size can be a negative, only a positive and one that the iphone lacks.
Being the first to implement 64 gbs of memory in a phone is an irrelevant topic to discuss,
they didnt invent that technology and they werent the first to implement it.
I was the first person in my house to get a laptop, that doesnt mean that everyone else getting one is just copying me by getting one, they had their own driving factors in purchasing one.
You store 17 gbs of stuff on your iphone by your own admission, your argument is invalid.
its not irrelevant when you are still charged extra money and a lot of it if you go over your monthly data limit. One high definition movie streamed on netflix, by their own estimation, represents one gig of data per hour. Thats half of most major carriers data plans for one hour of a movie. there is no situation in which having that same movie on your phones memory and playing it from there could be anything but a huge benefit.
So find a carrier that offers unlimited data if you're that much of a dataphile. Problem solved, external storage devices still obsolete.

Also, mobile gaming is growing pretty quickly. I bought that NOVA 3 game, and it takes up almost 2GB by itself.

Benchmark results are in...iPhone 5's A6 dual-core processor puts it ahead of the Samsung Galaxy S3 quad-core, and all Android-based devices for that matter. Come at me bro.
