ALonZo, 05 Nov 2011See what you said makes no sense. Apple introduced FaceTime... moreWhy is it that people keep saying that apple's advantage is quality? Yet, each iphone that is released has some major flaw that apple has to acknowledge such as the antenna or battery. People buy android phones because they are better. When choosing comparing devices,intelligent people will pick the one with 4g speed, sd card expansion, video call over 3g, flash, and dlna. The fact is, android devices are better. If apple is better, where are the features I just mentioned? Or, maybe 4g speed doesn't matter.

AnonD-29191, 06 Nov 2011Those who go for quality will always go for APPLE and those... moreSo, where does the Quality come from? 1/4 is Sammy in an iPhone. LG is another big one in iPhone... I really like how everyone says, that Sammy is cheap and Apple not, but all Apple products have a Sammy processing Unit inside ^^
What makes quality? Highest price and biggest rebuy sales, cuz most iPhones break after falling from a belly height? Yeah... thats quality, keep telling that to yourself, Apple will be happy with your money.

AnonD-29191, 06 Nov 2011Those who go for quality will always go for APPLE and those... moreIn the business world succes is measured in numbers and $,€ or £ ! That's the final objective of each company-to persuade the costumers to buy their products and not those of the competition! And Samsung has persuaded enought people to reach the number one position!...Consumer confidence??? I don't read too many posts that go like.... "I don't trust Samsung but I bought one of their products enyway!"....When a costumer decides to buy a product of that company 99% of the times is because they trust that brand! Otherwise they would buy from Apple,Nokia ,SE whatever...It's true that SG2 won't outsell the iphone 4s head to head....but Samsung are aware that to erode Apple they need a series of very good phones not just one! I think Samsung has elaborated a long-term strategy over a couple of years time....SG1 sold 13-14 million units,SG2 will surpass that number despite facing more competition on the market...do you see the trend? Samsung managed to outsell Apple! In a year or 2 SG3 or 4 will outsell whatever iphone it will be competing against! And another thing....do you think that someone who payed 600€ for a SG2 could not have afforded a 800€ iphone? And the same goes for other flagship models of other companies Arc,Sensation,Optimus 3D or others! Samsung is no Snow White...to swim along the sharks you need to be one yourself...but as the quality of their products there is no question...they are the best at the moment!

This is nothing huge. Everyone knew this would happen. Apple is only selling like 5 different models when Samsung sells tens and tens of smartphones. Ofcourse it was just a matter of time before this happened.

AnonD-29191, 06 Nov 2011Those who go for quality will always go for APPLE and those... moreThat's a very snobish comment...but it's in line with most crap arguments that iphone fans present in their defence. They seem to think they are part of a pseudo-eliteist group...! Between Android and IOS there is a deep antagonism! Most of Android users choose it because it's an open platform! They reject by default Ios and it's restrictions! And the numbers show an increasing number of people are choosing Android!

ALonZo, 05 Nov 2011See what you said makes no sense. Apple introduced FaceTime... moreno, i only said that based on your opinion that apple can easily break samsung sales by selling more devices.. so apple is indeed profit oriented company which pursue sales just like others.. so why they didn't do it? no one knows for sure, whole quality crap is your opinion, probably they just choose not to do it, maybe they being careful or i don't know.. they spent the whole year to make new product but they seem failed to notice that their new os drains battery like hell.. how do you explains it? they need more years? if you want to argue that apple is customer oriented then why the hell they never include flash? i've seen a lot of people complaining about it.. then again, maybe they just chose not to..
i'm not saying that apple is a total shits.. while ifans always said that haters gotta hate and never try to see it the way they do, ifans tends to do the same .. there's no point isn't it?
you make samsung's buyer sounds like an idiot and don;t know what to buy.. i never had the urge to buy a new phone whenever new ones comes around.. i'm not a 5 year old kids.. i choose what to buy with a serious thoughts, comparing pros and cons, and when i had my decision, i'm sticking with it.. so what if a new one with a slightly better specs comes every 2 weeks? people didn't buy a phone for their specs sheet nowadays.. they are not that stupid.. including ifans too..
my whole point is, you are NOT apple, so you don't know what or why they doing it.. throwing your opinion and judging people who against it are stupid really irritates me.. have you ever considered that you probably wrong?

AnonD-5197, 06 Nov 2011This isn't a survey. It's an analysis based on financial reports.Those who go for quality will always go for APPLE and those who have a limited budget will be compromising on Samsung. And this report is only showing that people with limited budget are increasing in this world hehehe
