    iPhone users are classy? what does class have to do with smartphones? Also, there's no class in putting others down and calling people douchebags. That's actually tactless, classless and totally unsophisticated in every way shape and form.

    I suppose you've missed all the Fandroid scum who jump on every thread calling anyone with a preference for stuff that actually—you know—works "iSheep" and "fanbois".

    SlimeStung is worried, scared green. No matter what it does, products, copying, junktifying, speck crazy, silly add-ons, lying, paying troops of trolls, it just cannot break into Apple's style and fan adoration. Most StinkSung users don't stay more than one edition unless they are short of change, some insane Apple Hater, rock falls on head or plain simple.

     

    The kind person that I am, my well wishes are with dear SamSung: I wish SmarmySneak would fall into a bottomless well. :smokey:


    You crack me up!  Slamsung, Slimescum wow can you come up with anything more original?  Bah bah little iSheep!

This BS about how Apple no longer innovates just because it doesn't have a large display is just plain stupid. Let the consumer decide what they consider innovation and not some jackass phone-nerd. Wall Street definitely isn't qualified to judge innovation especially when they want all companies to go after very high market share. Low-cost crap will usually never bring innovation with it. Wall Street favors copycat companies that go after high market share using corner-cutting, low-price tactics. That is just ridiculous to push only that type of product onto consumers.

    Ha ha another bleating iSheep!  Is your life so empty that you have to focus your hate on some big corporation?  Bah bah iSheep!

    The guy who calls himself iSheep to try and insult people tells someone to get more original with their name-calling.

    Oh, the irony...

    Yeah..... it's all like an iCattle call for them all going to slaughter. "Moo.... ve over, I have more money than brains and I want to be the first to buy an iFool's Gold iPhone!"  .......with it's special gold anodized cheap die cast aluminum case, that scratches and yes Cracks in half so easily bare handed! lol....

    And this is the primary reason Apple won't sell many iPhone 5C's. Because they spent so much time trying to convince their fans that Aluminum was not only more expensive (which it isn't, especially after recycling credits are applied), but was more durable. Obviously not if the anodized paint scratches off so easy and you can use your thumbs to bend an iPhone 5s as well as an iPhone 5! ;-P

     

    Now get along little doggies and blow your contract money on this better than polycarbonate fake aircraft grade aluminum iPhonier 5S!

    Those who are apple fans know its not just hardware in fact it's the software that sells the products. Attention to detail and the family like passion it gives its products to you the user. I laugh at people who just don't know if a brick hit them in the head. Ms sold in bulk and made a serial number to its operating system and once you had it it was hey man I've got a copy of paid software. But you know what it was dos and shit. Os/X will never just be software once it is it will full down the tube like ms did. If you read this and agree then welcome to apple!

    I think Samsung gave us the answer just by what they did.

    You can't figure out why people will line up to buy a product by studying the line. If that is how you approach things you are doomed to fail. The reason there is a line has nothing to do with the line itself. The line is the result of many other things that happened beforehand.

    The fact that they had to ask is already telling.

    Samsung phones are just ugly and the iPhones simply are the luxury brand that most consumers are drawn too. Samsung smartphones/devices just keep getting larger and larger - I don't want a freaking tablet to my ear while I'm talking.

    There's a difference between liking Apple products and being willing to stand in line for 12 hours, or camp out for a couple days just to get the latest device. I've been using Apple products since 84. Over the years I've owned a Mac Plus, Centris 660AV, Tangerine G3 iMac. 17" iMac. Mac Mini, 1st gen iPad, iPod Gen 3, iPod gen 4, iPod Touch 5th gen, and a 6th gen Nano. They were all great products and I'd highly recommend them. I'd have the phone too if it weren't for the bloated service plans.

    However, the mania & lines with the release of most every new product, especially phones & iPods, is a bit crazy. It's good marketing for Apple, but it is also sad commentary about the values of society. It's not too unlike people getting injured at Black Friday stampede sales. Hell, at least at the stampede sales there are bargains to be found.

    Since they like to reverse engineer and copy everything from Apple then claim it's their own maybe they are thinking of cloning Apple fans from lineups to call their own ;)

    Samsung will never be loved enough to be hated that much.

     

    Period.

    Not all Americans buy Samsung because they hate Apple.  Get your critical thinking correctly worded.

     

    Some Americans that buy Samsung hate Apple.  Some Americans that buy Samsung are also brainwashed by their advertising.  How do I know? I've run into some of them and asked them why they bought a Samsung product and they told me that it was because they advertised at Sporting events.  Some buy Samsung because of the screen size.  If Apple got off their rear ends and came out with a large screen iPhone, more people would line up to buy it and a lot of them would be Samsung users switching.  How do I know this? Because I've talked to several of them.



    Some of us are more willing to NOT buy Samsung and wait for the larger screen iPhone, which WILL come out, we just have to wait until sometime next year.  When will that be? Don't know.  I personally don't think we have to wait another year, I think it will be before next year since Apple has a difficult time as is keeping up with demands for the 4inch size, which is the most popular sized screen size for a smartphone, believe it or not..   The 5 inch sized phones have a smaller user base.  That's been proven in the sale figures.  I even saw that on an Android site amongst Android phones.  Most are around the 4 to maybe 4.3 inch sized screens and a much smaller percentage of Android phones that are in the 5 inch range.  Sure, i'll agree that the 5inch models are increasing in popularity, but the majority of the market uses an average screen size of 4inches.

     

    PERIOD.

    If Samsung is truly serious about learning why people are so loyal to Apple, they should search for Simon SInek's youtube videos (example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMLSrqYk0UE).  According to Simon, humans are emotional and are driven by feelings.  And because of this, people buy WHY a company does what it does. They don't buy WHAT it does.  If they buy WHY you do it, they'll follow you to the far corners of the earth,  Companies that truly understand this (such as Apple, Southwest Airlines, Harley Davidson, etc) can inspire true, fanatical loyalty in their customers - a loyalty that leaves competitors scratching their heads.

     

    I'm reading Simon's "Start with Why" ebook (from Amazon) and its a very different, eye-opening way of thinking and running a company.

    I posted this TED Talk many times before; it sure is a great listen to truly understand how 'it all works' (although I don't think Samsung will ever understand, but that's ok).
