I'm not planning on even getting a new iPhone unless it's exceptionally good, I don't have any issues with my Galaxy S III, and I wouldn't sell it anyway.
What facts have you told anyone? You said an improved SoC was pointless - I've told you why it isn't - and you've ignored that.
You've basically dodged the larger screen, which is the single biggest difference. It's just embarrassing to be honest, the way you persist in every Apple thread, saying every single upgrade is pointless. You should pack it in.
For you, nothing would be worth the upgrade. That's my point.
I would list all of the reasons why an upgrade may well be worth it for most people, but you'll just dismiss them, no matter what. So I won't bother. You can see the OP for a general idea.
This thread is for speculation and what people want to see, not whining about why you'll never upgrade your perfect phone when you don't even know what the new one contains.
Yeah, they do use Gorilla glass, even though Gorilla don't actually say so, Apple have said so before.
The iPhone screen is no more fragile than any other phone screen, though. 99% of whether it will smash or not comes entirely down to luck.
There's loads of drop tests that show the exact opposite, too.
As I said, it's largely random. The back of the iPhone is more fragile as the glass isn't hardened, the screen is more or less the same.
Here's one, to get you started: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7e9ebi41Wc
It gets dropped there from a fair height and doesn't smash. Which just proves that it's random to some degree, if it was dodgy and fragile in all situations it would have smashed for sure. It usually comes down to how it lands, with screen side down being the worst possible scenario.
There are also a LOT more iPhones around, on average I see 10-15 iPhone 4/4S's for every couple of Android phones.
The S3 smashing in that video is irrelevant. The 4S didn't smash and that's what we're talking about. It only did after being repeatedly dropped.
The S2 screen can smash fairly easily, the S2 (and high end Samsung) sales figures are not even remotely close to 4/4S either. I've seen them smashed, just because you haven't seen a damaged screen doesn't mean they can't break.
I'm not saying the 4/4S are more durable, they aren't, but screens breaking is mostly down to luck. Something people often struggle to accept... oddly.
Not the same design, no, but not that much different either.
At this point I'd put money on it looking like the leaks.
Oh dear, you're getting worse.
That was a long time ago though, I doubt they'll do it again, especially considering how popular it is now.
I think it's pretty much an impossibility.
Also, for all of Android's customisation, you could count that as a negative. For example, some people may find themselves filling up the screens with widgets they don't want or need, or feeling most of them just look messy, when they'd rather just have an iOS style layout.
On this forum, customisation will usually win out, but in the real world it really doesn't.

It depends, but many of them aren't particularly great/don't work properly/look rubbish.
There are good ones though. Widgets certainly aren't a feature I find particularly important.
It does look like it, but the source for those pictures is the place that did the mock-ups.
Samsung have tried the same - unsuccessfully - so you'd better not 'support' them either.
I think the iPhone 4 was a massive improvement over the 3GS.
