Pocket now: No, I don’t actually need help deciding. But anyone who’s into smartphones — that means you, dear reader — knows the question quite well: as the “phone guy/girl” among friends/relatives/coworkers, you’re frequently asked for advice on which handset to choose. And more times than not these days, people are looking to decide between the Apple iPhone and [name of Android handset].

This is absolute rubbish, clearly someone has told you this and you have believed them.
"hell the 3gs can be upgraded to ios6"
It is going to have some of the features ios6 has, its not getting everything, and already the 3gs is terrible slow on ios5 so why try push it further on?!
And I can't believe you are trying to say that your x10 mini pro (a garbage android phone) and use that in comparison against apples flagship phone.
The S3 is by far a better phone then apple's 4s, if you have had a chance to use both then you would see this. As you clearly have not then what is the point in putting your opinion in a iphone vs Galaxy s3 question piece?!
too many fail arguments in your comparison!
1. Android 1.6, really?
2. x10 mini pro vs iPhone? are you kidding me? that's like comparing the 360 vs Wii!
3. 3GS is out dated no matter if you upgrade it to iOS6 or not! it's like I upgraded my 4 year old PCs to run Win7, it can't match even a decent new laptops let alone the high end ones! it's about the HARDWARE!
the other point was yes the 3gs is outdated but atleast it can run the latest ios
Not only do you fail as listed above, but dude, have you not heard of the xda forums?
you can have the latest OS as possible that can run on your phone.
look into it maybe then your Apple fanboyism wont show sooooo much.
EDIT
I actually like android more than ios, for instance my i'd take my android tablet any day over an ipad however i dont know if other than the galexy S series if there is any other up to date android phone, i like how u have more freedom on the android as its not nearly as closed of as the iphone (thats why i jail broke it), to say im a fan boy because after 3 android phones that were all shit, i decided to get an iphone which ended up being better than them 3 clearly shows your android fanboy runs wild
The S3 is still using outdated Super AMOLED technology. The next iteration of the Galaxy (or possibly the one after that) will have the much better Super AMOLED Plus screen tech along with an HD screen.
The time to buy Apple is now though, because this year will likely see a major revision in the hardware that won't occur again in two years.
Well an iPhone with a larger screen is a major hardware change. Buying and iPhone 5/6 this year makes sense precisely because now there will (likely) be a hardware revision
And some (myself included) would say that the GS3 is too big for it's own good and is a bit overdeveloped.
*And this is coming from a happy GNex owner*
But I will say that the Galaxy 2 is a pretty amazing phone. And I'm not even a fan of android whatsoever. My friends had the EVO and was not impressed at all. But the Galaxies are really REALLY nice phones. So I know the 3 will be amazing.
But not enough to take me away from an iPhone though.
iPhone 5 is on the way then why S3?
If you like Android then wait till Note2. I prefer iPhone.
So the way you should look at it if you want a Samsung GIII go and get it or if you want a Iphone 4s get it if you want a different phone go and get it as your not wrong for getting the phone you want as its what you want no what people say you should get.
I do think the design of the Samsung looks better than the IPhone though but that's just my taste.
