    Samsung announced that they would release 64bit "soon" but the S5 came along, then the Note and no 64 bit.

    Poor widdle Android fans, stuck in the past grasping at straws and just can't handle Apple's superiority.

Blurred vision, weak pulse, problems standing up, cant raise both arms in front of you? You surely most be having a stroke or worse, Apple just set a new world record in profitability while HTC is struggling to survive and their selloffs may not help them after all, so arent you saying goodbye to the wrong company here?

            Incredible how people can take their own personal preference and useit as a proof that the worlds most profitable company with a trillion in the bank is going down. Thats a new level of fanboyism, really.

                  My earlier point remains: people generally go to Apple for the apps, the image of quality and with a specific product in mind. When I got my HTC One M7 I was also considering a Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S4, Xperia Z and the massive Xperia Z Plus or whatever it was called. Android offers far, far more choice, it's no wonder a single Android manufacturer has sold less individual units than Apple, Apple literally has no competition as nobody else offers iOS and Apple apps. If Apple opened their ecosystem to HTC, they would be competing against a phone with far more powerful specs, a bigger screen, vastly superior audio, lower selling price, more colours and better warranty, and those are just the things I can think of now. Bye bye Apple.

They hardly know anything about technology and have no clue about anything else in the market besides iPhone, they just want a clean easy to use UI with apps and a nice design. I'm an Electrical engineer studying an MBA on top of that and personally I wouldn't get an iPhone. That doesn't mean I'm not educated. I'm not looking for a status, or a flashy device that looses its flash when millions of people own it as well. Just my 2 cents
