it looks like smartphone brand loyalties are THE new religion nowadays. with the recent release of the iphone 4s, techies, apple haters, and samsung worshippers alike probably had the best field day of their lives, smacking the lack of innovation in the new iphone.

WARNING : the following article that i'm about to write is obviously biased towards apple so samsung worshippers and apple haters alike, do avert your eyes.

first of all, im pretty disappointed in the reason the majority of people who have apparently 'switched alliances' to samsung. apparently it's mostly because apple didn't change the design and outer casing of the updated iphone 4s. wait a minute, was there ever a problem with the design of the iphone 4? would you like spikes sticking out of your iphone 4s? or maybe it would be easier to operate if it was triangular. hexagonal perhaps? (:

some people also complained about the size of the screen being smaller than the samsung s2. uhm, if you like big screens, please proceed to buy yourself a tablet. the reason why people cap the size of phone screens, especially those on touch screen phones, is so that you don't feel like you're carrying around a slab of dense ass cheese when you shove your phone into your pocket.

yes, the samsung s2 is the bomb. they came up with the technology that is on the iphone 4s, last year. i've never used, or even touched either phones, so i believe that i have no right to comment on the usability of either. but of course, brand loyalty and my biased opinion towards apple products obviously require me to believe that apple products pwn.

of course, i was slightly let down by the decision that apple made to come up with the 4s instead of the iphone 5. even so, one must remember that apple said ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about what phone they were going to release. they were so tight lipped about it that the media went crazy, creating an image of a new iphone that performs miracles, as well as weigh 0.1gms, disappear into thin air after you lock the screen and also summon a hippo. obviously this media over-hype caused the image of the new iphone to be inflated and nonsensical, thus creating this wave of disappointment everywhere after they were knocked back into reality. to be frank, i think some people thought the new iphone would be as miraculous as Jesus himself. at least, they were led to believe so.

do i want an iphone 4s? sure as hell i do. i go to apple's official website everyday, praying that it'll arive in malaysia faster than i think it will. would i ever be discouraged from getting it because of all these reviews and comments by samsung s2 supporters? never. i know what i love in apple products and although customisation looks appealing, the display, the apps and the overall layout of the phone doesn't suit my taste. safe to say that im one of those annoying apple fanatics who could, and would rave about apple products all day long, if given a chance.

at first, i was going to wage war against the S2, but what good would that be, since i would only be drawing from all the negative reviews i was reading off tech blogs. i must be fair, and stay silent about other smartphones, while raving about something i love. i also find that it's wrong to say that all iphone fanatics MUST hate the samsung s2. sigh, smartphone wars.

but in all honesty, apple products are pretty damn desirable, aren't they? (;
