still fascinates me that people who never owned a single product from a company can still have such an emotional feeling towards it. It's one thing to not like the offerings or feel like the offerings aren't quite as good as another company's but the way some of you react is, well...just sad. Unless a loved one was physically assaulted by and/or murdered by a Samsung device just chill - it's not that deep. Try some yoga or meditation, but I am a bit jealous that the rest of your life is so great that your only source of stress you can find in it is from a company that doesn't know, will never know or care that you exist...  

Yeah, well, the reverse is more true. We have a number of users here who have never owned or used an Apple product but constantly post in these forums. And it’s almost always negative or supportive of the competition. What’s that all about? I may be an Apple fanboy but I don’t go posting on Samsung or Android tech blogs about it. Apple detractors seem obsessed with the company and compelled to post negative narratives.

ahh, the "they're stupid so why can't I be stupid as well" argument

Awesome to see Apple innovation working hard - can't figure out though why no one else would go down this path but glad to see Apple taking the lead here.

People could probably argue for months around the iPhone vs android but nothing IMHO comes close to the iPad - even as I moved back and forth from iOS to Android I always had an iPad. I tried some of the other tablets but just weren't the iPad - I don't think I ever had a single device as long as I had the first iPad Pro and I only moved on from that to the new 12in iPad Pro because of the extra screen space. Any decline in sales would be from being a victim of their own success. I think iPads are one of the few devices that you can wait a couple of versions before upgrading. so I can see where some years might not have the same volume of sales as others.
