I watched that video. . . . . The S3 is a great phone. I don't personally think "An interface infused with nature and human emotion" is something I need, but others may. Neither do I need a video that has to be moved out of the way so I can text. I prefer something like bump or one of many other apps that can send media cross device model and cross platform not just S3 to S3 via SBeam. And I can call someone with two taps from a text message, or just ask SIRI. What I did do when the S3 came out was pick it up and play around with it to see if it was for me. It wasn't. No review or YouTube video could tell me that.
Like I say the S3 is a great phone. I know people that have them and think they are great. Though it's not really the cherry on top features they like. It's just that they prefer Android and a bigger screen. I did check with one of them if it was the nature and human emotion infused UI he liked. I can't put his response here as this is a family forum
To each their own. The haters weren't ever going to like the iPhone 5 unless it teleported them to the Moon to party with Elvis and Marilyn Monroe.
Personally, stats, figures and reviews can only point me in the vague direction. I like to get my hands on products. See them perform and react and see how I respond to that. That's how I bought my Nokia 3310, N95, iPhone 3, 3G, 4 and 4s and iPads. I'll check the 5 out in the same way.
My instinct says I'll stick with the 4s and iOS6 ....... time will tell.
As for iOS being boring.....hmmm. That's not a bad thing in the right circumstances. My car gets me to work and back every day. Exciting? No. Reliable, effective and the right tool for the job? Yes.
I could get a Dune buggy or quad bike. More exciting? Yes. Great in the wind and rain, reliable for the commute, quiet when collecting my car sharer at 6am? No
I like my phone OS to be stable, robust and capable of getting the job done, if that makes it a little boring...I'm ok with that. I turn to apps to add all the bells and whistles I need.
Everyone is different, everyone has an opinion, a preference and a voice. These are simply my own ramblings.
