ALonZo, 05 Nov 2011Good point. Try explaining that to the many Samsung owners ... moreDepending on their marketing strategy, Samsung's sales figure would be on par with Apple's with just 1 phone per year. Apple chose a good position for their product along with good marketing strategy with a decent product to back it up. Steve Jobs did a magnificent work on placing Apple there. But fact is that Apple can't reach certain part of the market and that's where Apple's strategy does poorly compared to Samsung's. The low income class makes up a huge market and Apple chose not to go for it. Hence Samsung's dominance in market shares for smartphone. I don't think Apple will ever go for that market to maintain their brand image and uniformed user experience.
I do poke fun at iPhone's flaws but I don't degrade iPhone's strengths. In my opinion, comparing products is completely healthy, but comparing brand is like showing off your ignorance. Products can make difference to you while brands don't. "Superior brand" is just preference, so it's natural that Samsung owners find that their brand is superior and their devices are superior. Do you know what Apple fans did even few weeks ago in the last quarter when Apple was the most selling smartphone manufacturer? Yeah, they played the numbers game too. Was the product actually better? No, it depended on the user. Just be mature and don't get trolled by fanboys, and of course, don't troll.

This survey does not mean anything. Its just like saying TOYOTA sales is more than Ferrari so TOYOTA is better. So comparing Smartphones on the basis of this survey is vague. People are not dumb in this planet and when one goes for higher priced smartphone like APPLE, he demands more from it. If APPLE is not satisfying its consumers than nobody would ever buy their products after once. Nobody has a money to waste. Apple is giving its consumers the quality products that is the reason they are still in the market with such higher prices. Specs and hardware is useless if it doesn't have a good software to operate on. Nobody would buy a Samsung Galaxy S2 with Symbian. APPLE has still the perfect balance between its software and hardware. The biggest app store is the proof of that.

These numbers doesn't really matter. Whether Samsung takes the lead or any other Smartphone it really does not have any meaning. If i say that only 10% people in this world are rich and rest 90% are poor than all rich should become poor because the majority is with poor. This is not right. Apple is the best smartphone quality wise as well as user satisfaction wise, whether majority buys it or not.

The fact that samsungs have more phones to offer us is definitely a point in their favor . Be it "crap" or not...they offer the consumer options in different parts of the price spectrum. I am an apple fanboy, but you can't deny samsungs strides in their smartphone lineup and technology....the numbers don't lie.

ALonZo, 05 Nov 2011Good point. Try explaining that to the many Samsung owners ... moreIn case you haven't realise it selles numbers and proffit reflect the confidence of the public in a brand. Samsung had those numbers because people trusted the brand and bought their phones! From Samsung Champ to SG2! How can you buy a phone from a company you don't trust? Confidence in Apple? Are you gonna show me some surveys? Do you think a couple of surveys are representative for the whole mobile user comunity in the world? Things are clear:Samsung are the best at the moment!

ALonZo, 05 Nov 2011Good point. Try explaining that to the many Samsung owners ... moreAnd now it's Samsung's fault that it produces phones for all market segments??? Mobile phones are for everyone...from the people of Somalia to Bill Gates! The portofolio of a company should be diversified so it would meet the demands of both low and high-end users! Do you realise that around 30% of world population don't have money to buy bread...let alone an Iphone! What's with all these crap arguments "Samsung has hundreds of models,Apple only 5"??? Apple only produce high-end phones for a particular segment of the market! Samsung produces phones for everyone!

Iphone 4s is a good phone to have but it still doesn't sets the benchmark. Recently samsung is leapfroging apple's phone. The galaxy note has set a benchmark with more than 5 inch screen which apple can only dream of. Moreover the next iphone is set to launch sometime the end of next year till that time samsung will have enough time to show off its strenght and make rivals look too crapy to have. Moreover samsung has three os to work one and once the windows phone shows off its real beauty samsung will focus on that too. So restricting samsung will be more than tough for apple.
