      Notice how iPhones are best sellers when it comes to carriers only? Because iPhone is freakin expensive off contract and if I'm on a contract why the hell would I get the phone I want, I mean why not get an iPhone 5s and then sell it on Ebay and buy an off contract unlocked phone and use my sim and after that i still have my change and I get a chance to take my girlfriend on a dinner its a win-win situation :)

        Anonymous, 14 Dec 2013ARM develope and license the architecture its not simple... moreexactly the OEM's built their chips based on ARM blueprint but that does not mean that ARM produced the chip itself does it ? Basing the architecture on the blueprint to make it fully compatible is another thing and designing your own chip with different functionality home-made built is another thing

S4 penetration has significantly increased, but still, the most active internet users are to this day iPhone users. It doesn't even matter, because the S4 is a very capable device, as it should be. The trend has changed where it's now "cool" to have an S4, not because it's great tech, just because everyone's had an iPhone for years and people want something different now.

            Amongst my friends, I know 3 people who are switching back to iPhone because it's more user friendly.

And technology has developed a lot and SD Card have faster data transfer. At least not like iphone to depend totally on itunes.

Hope it helps you and not to mention 32GB $49 bucks and my 32GB Note 10.1 2014 can become 26GB for apps and games and 31GB for images,videoes,screenshots,music etc, and no issues with slow reading or whatsoever. Cheers!
                I know iphones will sell good in US as it is their ground and in China as people assumed it as luxury good and newer than S4(since it comes out 6 month later and 7 months for China).Moreover,they assumed phone as their status for no reason, I know people from China 4 out of 10 use iphones. But other than this 2 like in other countries I've been to Singapore,live in Australia nah not really. For generally, Samsung does better overall by offering more variants and offering from low-end,mid-range and high-ends to get every customers as possible.That is where iphone weaknesses there,they can't go cheap and iphone5C failure is a living testimonial.Anyway,both companies are in the world most valuable company so,not to mention both are pretty good,not heading to fans wars though.Cheers!

                        i don't care if it is the best selling phone. iOS is not for me. like to have more control

                          With my phones that supported SD cards in the past, performance is severely affected when a large SD card is inserted and media is accessed. That's just my theory though.

                          Apple specifically don't include anything in their phones that they don't directly have control over, or that is optional to the user. In a way, this limits the functionality of the device at times, but provides a clean and straight-forward user experience, limits breaking points and subsequent complaints.

                              It's the mediocrity of the masses, like the best selling car is the Ford pickup truck.

                                its not simple thing to do otherwise no company in this world going to pay for the license instead of develop the architecture themselves

                                ARM sell the blueprint,samsung and other SOC manufacturer build it,its like the architect(who design) and construction worker(who build it).

If your iPhone ever breaks or has problems of any kind, you can walk straight into an apple store here and have it fixed quickly. I've had Nokia, Samsung and LG phones before. If I had a problem with the phone, I would have to send it in and wait at least a week or longer. I'm an android user. LG optimus Vu. LG still hasn't upgraded to jelly bean yet on this model.

                                      As I see this the best result achived iPhone 5C. This plastic made overpriced model with TEEN color sheme is manage to push out all major flagships from Nokia, Motorola, Sony, HTC (and also LG, BlackBerry, Nexus line etc).

                                        It's because iphone has the market locked up for old people that are technologically clueless.
