lol @ the whole first paragraph. If there's no ecosystem, then why is it praised as one of the best parts of the iPhone in most to every review? iTunes is the ecosystem amazon is trying itself to achieve with the Amazon App Store. And yes I can also use THIRD PARTY apps like Droplr and Dropbox directly into my phone also. Apple's App Store is very well-run and there's a ton of exclusive gorgeous apps in there.

Android phones don't tap in that well to iTunes' ecosystem anyways. Why do you think Microsoft was trying to quickly build up their own ecosystem too? iTunes has a larger library of music, apps, movies, and TV shows than the rest of the game that's available in many more markets. iMessage and FaceTime also contribute to why a ton of people keep on buying iPhones (as detailed here: http://appleinsider.com/articles/11/...user_retention )

Even PCMag made a writeup about it. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2409651,00.asp

Even your favorite company's exec praised the iPhone's ecosystem. http://www.dailytech.com/Samsung+Exe...ticle29415.htm

A decade head start of building up your ecosystem causes that.

i hardly consider an appstore as being an ecosystem but to each his own. google play/amazon may not where iTunes is in terms of the amount of content but it's not like it's lacking anything that really matters. it has most of the relevant apps/music so it's hardly deal breaker AND android has very nice looking apps too, so don't try it.
iPhone is stale, boring and limited. just an app launcher with a nice app store. the icon on your weather app doesnt even change with the temperature.

the toggles in the gs3's notification shade alone >>>>>

i won't even get into the other features. the iPhone is more popular but that's about it.

App launcher! but a Damn good one FYI.

I'd still prefer iPhone over a shady as Co like Samsung. They better bring it with the next iPhone.. I'm more receptive to Apple more then ever.

you know it's true.

i really don't think samsung is as shady as everyone says. sure i believe they were HEAVILY inspired by the iPhone early on, but they've come into their own.

Dead @ limited. I guess that's why businesses, doctors, and schools globally are picking it over the highly compatible other phones. The limitedness

i don't see how that disproves my point. blackberries are also popular in those fields.

Blackberries at their peak and even now werent/arent limited so idk what point youre trying to give. Businesses and schools dont just shell out any type of money for useless products that have no point to them like youre claiming but ok.
