Apple is under-valued because they do not talk up hype. Most of the hoopla around the FANG stocks involves executives and shareholders with pie in the sky visions of where the future will be. Google has their moonshots, Facebook talks about monetizing everything with ads, and Amazon with drone deliveries and endless AWS growth. If Apple wished, they too could throw jargon around like candy and see a stock bump. Apple prefers to only talk about products that are actually here and shipping as opposed to hyping future products that may or may not ever arrive.

Supply chains are not as easy as they sound I guess...

Siri is just not smart. I carry both Android and iPhone. The Google AI sends me better news feeds and is more aware of my location. I understand that to Google I am the product. But the difference is quite drastic to the overall experience. Siri is also much slower to respond because it needs a live connection to Apple. A Siri inspired hub like Alexa or Google Home would not be successful. That being said, iOS is still the far superior OS for gaming, picture taking, and overall fluidity. But the AI is sorely lacking.

I normally have to test Android devices for work as we support Samsung as an option. The wireless charging was overrated. For starters, it was slower than a direct charge from the wall. Secondly, it did make the phone HOT. So hot in fact that the Samsung wireless chargers actually have a fan in them to keep the phone cool. Heat is also obvious when playing certain games.

Some of the Android Wear watches have always on and get the same if not better battery life. They use an ambient mode which just sips battery. I was OK without the always on in the Apple Watch but the display did not always go on with a wrist turn, forcing you to actually raise your arm. Not good when I just need a quick time glance in a meeting and such.
