      I dispise them for their crooked way of doing business.

      Sammy is good in things to bring something to market in no time which already exists.
      But they should understand that they are not premium brand.

                As much as I dislike buying samsung's cheap built and premium priced phones, this is getting ridiculous. Is this really the only way for microsoft to get back the investment they paid to Nokia for the resulting very very bad loss in the smartphone market? Come on! It's too obvious, paying billions to aquire Nokia and suing others for Billions in order to pay back that loss.

                              What your all forgetting is samsung still make the cpu memory and battery in iphones.


                              They have a larger range of mobiles in production.

                              They make tvs pcs audio fridges freezers tablets smart watches etc.. fingers in a lot of pie.

                              You know what they do in those areas? Lead them.

                              Samsung are a manufacturing company etc.. apple are software only and don't make a single part of anything they "make".

                              Did you know samsung have built bridges and boats?

                              If apple are so great why do they only offer 12 months warranty? Samsung AND other brands offer 24 months.

                              Why do apple HAVE to have a different charger than the rest of the world.

                              Why do apple make you use the technology THEIR way?

                              I appreciate both companies... but I support samsung.
