I wish people would stop hating on it, I think it's actually really cool looking... iOS 6 is a step better for apple's mobile OS.

Was a bit of a let down for me. It's basically almost equal to the Galaxy S III. But then again, I'm not really surprised.

Ha. And people think it's a new magical device that spans off farther from its predecessor.
