Android devices still have delay issues unlike ios.
Apple do more with less.
E.g Apple needs only 1gb ram to run any powerful app while android devices make use twice this to achieve same results.
Thats the power of IOS.

Are they barely staying afloat? Their profit last year grew with 36%,a lot more than the single digit growth of apple's profit.

Apple's earnings went up maybe because their milking Samsung on their non sense court war. :)
Apple file a case against Samsung because of a patent issue but the truth is Apple just want to earn money. :)

People buy iPhones, because they love them. Plain and simple.

May i ask a question? I see that apple's revenue and profit are 5% up year-on-year. What was the general growth of the smartphone industry for the same period? What was the world's inflation in the mean time? My guess is that global inflation is at least in the 2-3% range and the smartphone industry must have grown with at least 30%. So apple is actually falling behind the curve with these results.

Both samsung and apple are making billions. They must be behind doors shaking hands and laughing while the fanbois are fighting and hating each other. LOL the whole court battles are just a show to fuel the fans.

Another example would be Sony. Their fiscal year starts on April 1. So, they will be reporting their Q4 results on May 14 for Jan-Mar.
