I think you misunderstood! I was being sarcastic! Probably too subtle for an applecrap lover. I knew that you were referring to the Samsung because the iPhone looks like a badly crushed drink can!!!!!! Anyway, just check who makes most of the components for the iphone. Perhaps you can use your super dooper coke can to find the answer!

Considering I was comparing the cheap scrap that is the s4 against both the iPhone and the HTC (do Apple make the HTC ONE?) I struggle to see how it's showing an Apple bias.

I think the Samsung is crap, when compared to the iPhone and other Android phones, when it comes to build quality.

Oh, and for your info, the only verified Samsung part in an iPhone 5 is the processor, they avoid buying the cheap plastic crud used to make the S3 and S4 where they can.

Much of the functionality that people like is the OS. I was against the iPhone for a multitude of reasons until I tried the 3GS, which was far better than anything Android offered.

At the end of the day, its what the customer prefers - and they get the high price because for most, it is worth it. I run both (personal/work) and for ease of use, Apple wins.

Even Huawei now seem to have the ability to build a flagship phone with high build quality.

Thats horrid, all those rounded corners and sharp edges (patent pending), someone might mistake you for using an iphone... how embarrassing!

But its been quite a journey (down) for the iphone, from yuppie to hoodie in about 5 years.

I think looking like an iPhone is the intention; riding on the coattails of Apple's success seems to be a hallmark within the smartphone market sadly.

The point is at least they haven't used recycled plastic for a £400+ smartphone.

The look of the iPhone 4 was a design classic, and will always be emulated.

Even Samsung have made some pretty nasty plastic copies of earlier iPhones.

OK people haha, stop the debate lol. ill always be a apple lover, in my opinion iPhones are the best and no one will ever convince me otherwise ;D

As for the Chav comment. i listen to hard rock and heavy metal. i have a slipknot, avenged sevenfold, machine head and lamb of god tattoo's. i think that makes me the opposite to a chav.

I have to say the CPW seems the best and that would be guaranteed.
and this time i will have it insured

Thanks everyone
