I don't hate the s3 like so many people hate the iphone. A lot of times the reasons people hate the iphone are stuff i like lol. Like the most basic thing: screen size. I do not want a huge phone, idk how people do it with 5 and 6 inch screens. But they hate on the iphone bc the screen is smaller. Well, thats one of the reasons i like it lol. The colors/ images on my iphone are a lot sharper than on the s3. The iphones camera is also definitely better. I'm talking from personal experience since i tried out the s3 for a couple weeks too. Im not basing my opinion off of something you read online.
