Apple Responded to Galaxy S 4 Announcement, “There’s iPhone and then there’s everything else.”

Since Samsung introduced its latest flagship Android smartphone last Thursday, 99.99% of the buzz has about the Galaxy S 4, freezing out the Apple iPhone 5. If there is one thing that Apple hates, it is being frozen out of the news cycle by its rival. So Apple responded by launching a page on its website that is titled "There's iPhone and then there's everything else". From the page we can see Apple first mentions that Apple has received eight straight JD Power and Associates awards for customer satisfaction, which means iPhone has been ranked “Highest in Customer Satisfaction with Consumer Smartphones since the first iPhone was introduced. Apple then compares the craftsmanship of the Apple iPhone to a finely crafted watch and goes through some of the features of the device including its battery life, and the Retina display. Yes, while Apple says that you can't find a Retina display anywhere but on an Apple device, that is not because of the screen itself. However, the 326ppi pixel density on the Apple iPhone 5 is surpassed by many Android models including the industry leading pixel density of 468ppi on the HTC One. In addition to discussing the 4G LTE connectivity on the Apple iPhone 5, the new page mentions how the top three cameras used for photos displayed on flickr are the Apple iPhone 5, Apple iPhone 4 and Apple iPhone 4S. Apple even takes a pot-shot at Android with the comment that "Because Apple makes both the hardware and the software, iOS features are designed to work perfectly with iPhone features like the Retina display, gyro, and accelerometer." The idea of the web page is for the public to once again associate a top-of-the-line smartphone with the Apple iPhone name. In the past, Apple perhaps did not feel as threatened as they do now. In fact, this very moment just might be the most vulnerable that the iPhone has been since it's launch in June 2007. Samsung expects 100 million units of Galaxy S 4 to sell in the coming year, which must be putting much pressure on Apple executives. Source: Apple via PhoneArena
