Dude are you serious? You make no sense. The reason you have an iPhone is because Apple came out with "gimmicks" you like. So apparently you F'n care. Hypocrite!
Lets get one thing straight. You apparently have no "F'n" clue what your're talking about. So with that said Many...if not most people prefer a bigger screen. Proof...everyone makes a phone with a screen bigger than the iPhone's. In fact Iphone came out with a bigger screen than their legacy device. Even still...most phones are still bigger and more consumers prefer them. On top of that people(yes real people) want USB, HDMI, SD CARD, NFC...iphone doesn't have em. They are not gimmicks...they actually work...do something...have a purpose...in other words NOT GIMMICK. So before you go and call all these things GIMMICKS, why dont you look at the 3.5inch phone in your pocket and see what gimmicks you bought into..or actually are missing for a bigger price than all that gimmicks that came with someone else's phone. Then oh yeah...remember all the accesories that you had to buy that do all the same things that the other phones do with the added gimmicks...more money out of your pocket. You really have no clue do you?
And go ahead and say what you want...call me a troll or what ever. But the reality is you spent more money on your iPhone and accessories than 90% of the world and got less for your money. Then paid more for accesories to perform like other phones. And you want to talk about people being fandroids or whatever.
I had an iPhone...I realized after 3 years I was getting hosed. I was hoping this years would be different...but guess not.
What accessories did i buy? You seem to have some kind of line into the purchases i made to make my iPhone what i wanted, when in reality, the tweaks i did to personalize my phone were all free, and the only accessory i have is a phone case, a cable in my car for the radio and an alarm clock at home...am i missing something here or are you simply talking out of your ass with no real point?
I have a phone with a superior camera, a form factor that i prefer, an OS that i prefer and then the reliability and service i expect from buying an Apple product...and you claim that I'm some how getting hosed? That some how I'm not getting what i pay for with a phone that performs EXACTLY how I want it to in every way? You have a very obscure (See: Inaccurate) understanding of what getting "hosed" means, but that's probably because you associate opinions with garden tools, given your Galaxy S is the size of a garden shovel.
I like to ask this of the members that have such distaste for the iPhone whenever these debates come up...why are you here? And let's skip the BS about being "into all things technology", be honest, you're here to make sure people know you don't care for the iPhone, you think it's a lesser device. In that, GREAT! Congratulations...you prefer something that others don't. Come down out of the clouds, off that enormous high horse you're on and quit pretending like you have the inside track on what the right choice is for everyone...I think the Galaxy S III is a fine phone, not for me, but it's a fine phone for someone I'm sure.
Now be a good little boy and take your trolling else where, because yes, when you're on a forum about a product and support of such, and the only reason you're here is to discuss how much you dislike it and down other's opinions of it, you are the definition of troll. And speaking of people having no F'n clue what they're talking about, you pretend like your opinion of the iPhone means anything...understand that your opinion of anything really amounts to about jack squat, and even less on this website, where you look like a tool.
