If you want to write a sarcastic comment, make it sarcastic. If you want to sound intelligent, say intelligent things. If you want to be objective, then give objective analysis.
If you don't do any particularly well, then you're just setting yourself up for a smackdown, as the truth always shows itself, and you end up showing the world the fool that you really are.

I don't hate apple at all, i have huge respect for them. They just remind me of an oil and gas company - release recore profit results and say they have to put prices due to pricing - purely contradictory. Apple just seems to be all about money money money now instead of innovation and product quality.

Pretty similar to almost every other company in the smartphone business.
Is it just infuriating to you that the company is doing well, yet you like another phone? How does that hurt you in any way?
If anything, it's just a reflection of a sad personality, filled with insecurity.

Well. At least the past news support your claims. Quotes:
"they are missing their targets which all growth and profit is targeted against therefore" - S5 sales
"they are still showing greed by not respecting their customers loyalty." - Not upgrading S3
"Yet despite missing their target their profit makes target which purely shows they are making up for their own short comings by overcharging" - Compare Samsung phones to other similar spec'ed ones
"lost all their morals and ethics to please their bigwigs" - Degrading advertisements, Cheating benchmarks, copying without license, you named it.

Anonymous, 23 Jul 2014But still dual core not good for hardcore gamer hahaha. And... moreHow many cores does it take to run Diablo 3 ..
It seems Macbook Air with dual core / Microsoft Surface Pro with dual core could run it (though the high resolution cause its HD4200 to lag) ! Macbook Air can run max out!
How many cores does it take to run Guild Wars 2 ..? It seems dual core is enough!
I rather have strong cores then to have tons of weak ones. And besides the point.. A7 is a quad core GPU, same as nearly all Androids 32bit "Non-gimmick" chip.

Yet despite missing their target their profit makes target which purely shows they are making up for their own short comings by overcharging (which we all knew they were anyways). They might as well be an oil and gas company. Apple have lost all their morals and ethics to please their bigwigs.

A7 chip which is 10 months old is still not fully tapped, yet A8 chip is coming.
Totally new programming language SWIFT
Metal which will improve gaming graphics capability, which Android may find hard to match due to systemic nature.
iPhone 6 matching screen sizes, taking away major crowing point for a while now.
Amazing possibilities ahead. Well done Apple.

Anonymous, 23 Jul 2014So basically the article states "Apple miss their sale... moreThey targeted to sell more than what was actually sold. However, despite missing the target, they still sold more than previously, which is why profit grew.
Let's say they sold 8, with profit 6.
They target to sell 10, with profit 8.
They actually sell only 9, with profit 7.
So yes, they missed the target (9 instead of 10), but profit still grew (7 instead of 6).

So basically the article states "Apple miss their sales targets on both their iPhone and iPad lines yet still break their profit target". Does this not suggest that they are clearly charging more than they should therefore playing on their "fanboys" who will buy anything Apple regardless of price?? If they didn't charge the prices they did then they would have hit all 3 targets but in MY opinion greed has just taken over.
