But iPad is considered a replacement for the laptop. Apple has been sued for the iPhone. Because the Texas patent holder thinks he has a patent of putting the phone capability on a computer. He did not sue all the other Android phablet makers like Samsung and he lost the suit to Apple. Could Apple start putting the phone function to the iPad? Do we have a legal expert on this forum?
Get it through your thick skulls, Apple fans, Wall Street has decided that market share is THE most important metric. And by that metric Apple is doomed. End of story, period. Why is that so hard to understand and accept? Apple had their best quarter ever in terms of sales, they make money hand over fist, their products are top shelf, their customer service is the best, but they are losing market share so that makes them poison to investors these days. Google spent $3.2 billion for a thermostat and they are applauded as the future of tech. It’s long past the time for Apple fans to wise up and drink the hemlock. Realize the company you love is dirt between the toes of Wall Street.
Haha true.
That's good news for "Others" then. They have the most market share!
I wanna buy some stock in "Others" even though the companies that make up "Others" are mostly no-name white-box smartphone vendors in China and India.
Samsung also shipped something like 15mil note3 during that quarter. That's like 25 - 30mil high end phones which is more than the 5s. And this is during apple highest sales quarter.
Out of the big manufacturers apple has the lowest yoy growth which doesn't bode well for Apple.
I do think that Samsung is smart to try to marry their Galaxy Gear watch to their Note3. It will probably take them a few generations to make it decent, but at least they haven't waited to copy Apple. I still think that the iPhone is the best phone, but there are there are many good mid tier android phones out there.
You know, Apple fans that are consumers and not investors should be pissed at Apple for having higher profit margins than Samsung. Higher profit margins means that Apple ripped off its consumers more than Samsung did. Consumer gets ripped off, investor wins.
Even with Samsung's lower production costs from superior vertical integration, the per-unit cost of its high-end phones is higher than Apple's. Meaning, Samsung customers get more bang for their buck despite all the nonsense about "cheap plastic".
Apple outsources all its manufacturing, meaning higher production costs than Samsung, yet its profit margins are through the roof. Meaning, if you bought an Apple phone, you've just been loved up the rear real hard by Tim Cook & Co.
Being a Samsung fan seems worse, not only because they fudged their figures and deceived you, a paying customer, but also because your purchase just made a statement about your inability to recognise, not to mention afford, quality.

That's not fudging. Technically there is nothing wrong with it since the benchmark is gotten by the phone hardware and not some made up figures. Whether it is ethical to specially tune the hardware for bechmark is open to debate.
Under most normal use the chipset is never stressed to the benchmark level. So this is really a moot point.

It kinda defeats the purpose of bench-marking doesn't it? Perhaps they should look to MLB for inspiration, assess a 100+ game suspension for doping.
I do like that Anandtech tweeked the tests and won't reveal the change detail, helping to even the playing field. There's only two companies that apparently hadn't been scamming the results: Apple and Motorola

Customers are willing to pay the price to get Apple products. So they aren't getting ripped off.

This is not the thread for this kind of question, but why don't you open an account with a firm like Charles Schwab or something? You could have your stock ownership transferred, but as far as giving you a physical stock certificate I am not sure about that.

Then how in the world are they considered smartphones?
...because of their ability to install native apps, which I believe is still the accepted definition.

* Figure pulled from arse.
If Samsung "shipped" that many Note 3's, outselling the 9 million S4 shipments they reported:-
a) where is the money and
b) why weren't Samsung crowing about it in the financial report they released a couple of days ago.
Reality equals smaller screened smartphones dominate the market.

Okay. How does that disprove his statement that 50% of iPhones were 5S’?
Haha true.

This is a mathematical question. 5S+5C+4S=51million. S4=13million. 5S>S4>5C. Are your math good enough to figure this out by yourself?

What do any of those sentences have to do with it being impossible that 50% of iPhones were 5S’?

Making a profit is “ripping people off”, huh?
See, that’s not how the world works.
Abysmal customer service, zero software updates, wretched build quality, horrible battery life, even worse software performance, no security…
Yeah, that’s some bang.
And to round it off, that’s wrong.
Just go away.
When you say 'bang for your buck' are you referring to 'Samsung bullshitting their customers bang', or 'real-world bang'?

Reality Distortion Field: Now available on Android.
Took long enough too. It's been available for a long time on other platforms.
