Judging from the photo, iphone looks too thick compared to Galaxy S3. And the roundness makes it unlike the iPhone, which means the designs now diverge away.

Another embarrassingly bad extremetech article.

Would anyone care to explain the downvote? Did you miss the egregious misspell of "renaissance"?

As much as I'd love to spell it "renaissance", it's an American site, so I have to write in American English :)

God save the Queen!

Yeah, that picture is misleading-- the two devices aren't on the same scale at all.

Based on the touchwiz look and feel and the annoying nature of Kies, I'm skeptical of samsung's ability to deliver great software. The screen sharing feature really is an application where current iOS really beats out android, so if they did this well, it will be a good step forward.

Yea, I was going to try and scale it accurately, but the S3 is in the foreground, so there's perspective to deal with as well -- so I decided to just leave it as-is. Maybe I should've put 'image is for illustration purpose only' at the bottom...

Your comment didn't add anything to the discussion. HN doesn't appreciate pure opinion like "This is good/bad".

You get upvotes for things which have additional information "This is bad because it contains mispellings, gets technical information wrong, and the author once slept with my mother."

You get downvotes for "lol irrelevant" because it's just noise.
