As long as the faithful stay with an iPhone then Apple has many more profitable years ahead.

The problem for the iPhone is not Samsung, like appleinsider seems to think, it is Android in general.

Google, LG, Motorola, Huawei all make great phones and most eclipse iPhone on the camera too. Look at the verge website for their latest camera shootout and you'll see iPhone doesn't even make the podium.

Apple phone inovation has plateaued​, technical advancement takes a long time, and because they are running out of features to entice people to upgrade they are now falling behind what was the chasing pack.

As long as the Apple faithful continue buying iPhones, then nothing will change, but don't expect to get best bang for your buck.

There is nothing about Android phones in general, and Samsung's in particular, that I find very appealing. 

If you only read this website you would never ever think about buying an android phone.

Why doesn't the judge just throw the whole sorry mess of a case out of court. I bet they've spent 10's millions in lawyer fees all over some silly rectangles and swiping fingers, ridiculous and childish.

Apple peeps, android had facial recognition back in 2013 on ice cream sandwich to unlock their phone.

This tech that hasn't moved forward in a secure enough manner in a long while, and can easily be defeated by a mug shot.

Why is appleinsider trying to bash Samsung on this feature, is it because they are struggling to find something​ original to click bait on S8?

Nothing wrong with Chinese people buying Chinese phone brands as preference and Americans buying Apple iPhone or Google Pixel in their own country as preference.

What is clear from China stats is that there is maturity in this market and people don't see value in the iPhone brand. At the end of the day most people want a phone with good camera and battery life and android has plenty of options to choose from.
