I wouldn't say they're failing yet.

They've only lost close to 30% capitalization ($250 billion) in the past few months.
Oh - also lost #2 slot largest smartphone manufacturer in the world
Maybe some declining marking share as well ? 
And obviously suppliers are putting out warnings about the slow sales

I wouldn't say super positive, but definitely not failing ...  I think Buffet has only lost $17 billion himself, really.

So wait - the aim was test the 3D recognition feature of the iPhone against the Androids?
But then they selected only 2D facial recognition systems in the Androids?
So, the compared a feature that the Androids didn't even have?

Revolutionary!

They should do a test of the iPhone X fingerprint recognition versus the Androids. I can see the heading 'Android consistently beats iPhone X fingerprint sensor '

In fairness, I'd hate to buy a 2.0l car and it's 1.8l ...
or a 60" TV and it's 55" ...
or a 21MP SLR and it's an 18MP

It's be good - fantastic really - if products were as labelled. 

To be honest though, I didn't think iPhone users would pick this up ... they're not into specs

Thanks.

But can a design patent be a shape or colour or smell? Or the shape of the corners?
Could you do a design patent on something generic ie patent 4 wheels and ban all cars / claim royalties?
Can I quickly patent a 6 side cardboard box?

I think general perception Apple is they just sue and ban and at one stage, everyone just rolled their eyes at yet another Apple lawsuit. Before Apple, products used to compete on pricing / promotion / features / benefits. You know, the better product 'won'. After Apple though, things changed - I remember trying to ban competition in certain countries and run the courts for help and set their 500+ lawyers onto it.

Madtiger - I said I don't want to get involved in your arguments ... I'llI get banned.

But as an outsider with no allegance to any other brand and reading the thread through start to finish ... He's got some valid points.

I mean your quote of 'crappy real world battery life' ... Have you even read up on this phone? He's pasted links - but have YOU actually Googled?
