On planet Earth, most of us actually probably would not know the difference between an iPhone 5 and pretty much any other smartphone if you just reskinned the interface, hence Apple suing everybody. In fact, Jimmy Kimmel has already proved as much.
Unfortunately, as a long-time Apple user, I know deep in my heart that Apple fanboys, just like console fanboys, will never let go of the fight because it's really all they've got to be smug about.
So, when Samsung dared to speak heresy against the JesusPhone, the Apple faithful acted with all the maturity and grace we've come to expect from people who are overly emotionally invested in a brand that doesn't care if they get sucked into an ice chipper.
It's a fairly straightforward argument: The Samsung Galaxy S III is totally better than the iPhone 5. This is something nerds care about and literally nobody else, although presumably Samsung is a little bitter over losing a pointless court case recently.
So, what kind of mature and intelligent reaction did we get from people with Photoshop?
Settle for cheap aluminum instead, because the first thing millions of iPhone owners aren't going to do is slap this thing into a hideous plastic case.
This feels like it's missing something... but I just can't quite put my finger on it...
You know, because you're buying it as an object of admiration, instead of a phone.
In short, it doesn't take a genius to realize some people need to get out more.

I don’t get the “bully” ad, seeing as Apple just won that billion dollar court case in which they basically claimed to have invented the world.
I’m guessing somebody has very severe emotional issues.
Burnsy gets it. I dunno about all the rest of the butthurt Apple fanboys. I own an Apple and love it but I don’t get all superior because I can search porn without fear of getting viruses (unless I’m drunk).
I love Apple as much as the next 20-something with some disposable income, but goddamn, y’all. It’s a phone, not a lifestyle. Get it together.
That one you got marked as original is actually the rare case of an Apple fanboy making a more balanced argument (note the iMore/Android Central scouts at the bottom). Samsung’s original ad cut the iPhone’s features off bout halfway thorough.
But yeah, what Patty said.
Samsung vs. Apple is turning into Democrats vs. Republicans. This one rules and the other one sucks and is destroying the world, or the opposite of that. It’s tiresome, go watch some internet porn or something.
Actually, I’d argue Apple and Samsung have more effect on the world at this point. Imagine if Apple told everyone tomorrow that in order to get an iPhone 5 you had to feed a homeless person. Or destroy a Samsung phone with a sledgehammer.
True the lines for these phones are longer than lines for the voting booths.
*Cries after realizing JTRO statement is completely true*
I’ve been looking for a new smart phone and don’t want to make the switch to the Iphone.
I guess Samsung Galaxy it is.
I have the Samsung, and it’s awesome. I’m a little worried about how untested it is and a buddy who got his a month ago has already shattered the screen, so you might want to get a case, but the thing has been unbelievable so far. I don’t think have much experience with Iphone’s so I can’t argue too much on one vs the other, but I really can’t recommend this phone enough at the moment.
If you like games, download the SuperGNES app and you’ve got a fully functioning gameboy on your phone that barely impacts battery, and free (…) access to the entire catalogue of games from NES, SNES, and more. I will never be happy with another phone again if it does not grant me access to Super Ghouls N Ghosts within the first day of owning it.
