I don't think this is the only thing they've won against them.

Dude Samsung is the world leader in mobile revenue overall even surpassing Google! (ref PA article!)
And this seems to be the only straw that Apple is holding against Sammy and how long will this last? The iPhone 5 is an apic fail and Sammy is coming up with Galaxy S4 which'll be a super success with its Exynos 5 quad, 1080p screeen and what not! Therefore Sammy will beat Apple again in this domain!
Man Apple is all battered up....PIE anyone?

Yes it is.

I doubt that too. In the ad world, it doesnt matter how much you advertise. What matter is "Where" you advertise.

Remember all those S3 and Note ads during the Olympics? You get a feeling that you see Samsung ads everywhere.

Thats a good example of making the right investments to advertise at the right place.

Here's a link where Samsung is advertising inside AppleStore.

why did apple even hire him?

33. asulect (Posts: 131; Member since: 27 Aug 2012)

Maybe he got a really good recommendation from his former boss Ann Droid?

"What matters at the end of the day is the number of phones sold. And as we all know, Samsung kicked Apple right in its core...."

Only because Samsung releases a device almost every week. They have like a hundred variations of the Galaxy S phone.

If you look at it from a depth pov, Apple is doing much better in sales than Samsung is.

As far as I know Samsung is still holding the best selling smartphone record with more than 30millions GSIII sold, which is only one model. So your argument is irrelevant. =]

only because it been out longer than the iphone 5 we all know the newest iphone has the sales records.. thats why Samsung delivers months before Apple so people like you can believe their hype.. proof. the iphone 4S beat the SGSII in sales

Only because Apple doesn't release a device almost every week. They can have a hundred variations of the iPhone but they decided not to.
Stand by your company's decision. Quit making excuses. If Apple wanted to release 2 iPads in 1 year, don't complain about it. Support their decision by buying it.

This is the same as Windows vs Mac. Only strategy different now is Apple is mass distributing at educational institutions.
If Apple continues the way it is now, it's only a matter of 10 years.

Man dont waste your time with this audience. One phone against the masses. Doesnt register here. Anything that is an upturn for Apple will be torn down. I presently own the last samsung mobile device i will probably ever own. i customize my car not my phone so that aspect doesnt matter. Never liked LG so i wont be buying the new nexus 4. Apple is doing Apple and everyone hates that. The take some of there billions and put a factory in the states and i will be a fan for life.

I knew I would gets some thumbs down. I feel vindicated

I believe it was Brian Tong from cnet's "Apple Bite" that said the Galaxy SIII is now the most advanced phone on the market. That says a lot about the quality of Samsung's products. And with the Note II, they proved they can do it more then just one model.

Give up the blind fanboyism. "Best" smartphone (quality, reliability, apps, etc) is pure opinion at this point. Most flagship phones produced now days are high-quality and near lag-free, and the app selection between iOS and Android is non-existent.

If you're 13 then have your fun, and hopefully you'll grow out of this immaturity at one point. If you're an adult, then refer to my first statement.

I agree. You root for whatever is your favorite.

I like android and my droid incredib 4g lte(soon to be DNA) but I can understand why someone would like a simpler(I call it stale) UI. I understand why someone wouldn't need to customize their phone(I on the other hand do). I understand why someone would like the Iphone 5 design over another phone(I personally like the HTC Amaze 4g's design). I understand why someone would like IOS better than android if they already have stuff backed up in itunes.

everything is personal opinion. you can choose to beleive in someone like brian tong. you can choose to beleive in a troll like galitoking or the late taco50. its all subjective

High quality is well worth it.

Apple is constantly making innovative technology. They make things people want to buy.

13. Non_Sequitur (Posts: 1111; Member since: 16 Mar 2012)

They do make awesome hardware. Just wish they'd make bigger screens on the iPhones, make iOS a lot more customizable and useful, etc.
The best thing they have going right now is the Mac line. My favorites are the new iMac and the 15 inch Retina Macbook Pro with dedicated graphics.

Agreed Mxyzptik. Did you know just few days ago Apple got patent for this awesome reallife-like page turning for ebooks.
Apple really is way ahead of the competition when it comes to innovative technology. I mean really there is no telling what Apple is coming up with next, totally magical and revolutionary!

21. random (Posts: 16; Member since: 14 Nov 2012)

You sir, have just blown my mind, well done.

37. joey_sfb (Posts: 6600; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)

I wonder how much research fund has make its way into that animation patent.
All those story board programs better beware if you don't have money to defend your right to survive.

US patent system is insane and it killing innovation as corp like apple are putting road blocks along it.

Dude innovative technology ...not siri ...make new capabilities on iPhone that no one else has on their phones..face recognition... customizations screens.... NFC......Google now...change keyboard... swype key board.. o my bad I'm talking about my Samsung galaxy nexus....dang what does iPhone make again?...never mind iPhone doesn't matter when it come to making future technology that (has not been done before)

I may or may not agree with you. if evolution is the same thing than innovation then of course I agree with you.
if a new product is always inovation because it has "new features" then of course I agree with you
