    It has nothing to do with Samsung. It's the Corning that makes the glass which Apple also uses for its screens.
    Yeah, it's not Samsung's responsibility to review the structural integrity of the materials it uses in its products, and assemble said products in a way that makes for a satisfactory user experience!
    Do you consider that logic should apply to Apple?  Such as with the MBPR power cable in the photo above?

    how do you know?  Maybe Samsung's quality control isn't as good as Apple.  Maybe Samsung agreed to buy Cornings 'sloppy seconds' for a discount rate.

    Don't think for a second that Samsung isn't sketcy enough to do this type of stuff.  
    They know their clients are idiots and uneducated so they can sell them low quality junk and it won't matter.
    Oh don't give me that Apple quality shit.  I'll give you Apple quality - this is what you get from Apple in a near $3000 product:



    This is the screen on my naked pocket carry for 6 years phone:



    And contrary to all the anti-OLED brigaders, the blues haven't faded in the slightest and there is no burn-in.

    My experience with admittedly only a few products, is that Samsung do not make junk.

  • Research data suggests Apple iPhone marketshare dropping beyond seasonal averages

    I doubt it.  The 90% figure was for last  year when the Samsung profits were at  a very low level due to low sales figures of the S6.  But now the profits of Samsung mobile phone division has increased significantly thanks to the successful S7.  The profits of the iPhone has decreased slightly.   So most probably Apple has still the majority of the profits in the order of 50 to 60 percent.
    S7's are being given away for free. Not sure how that helps them gain profit share
    Not by Samsung, unless it's to sweeten a much larger potential transaction that has large margins for them.  Apple give away stuff 'for free' with their back to school offers - I have an email from Apple offering me a free pair of Beats If I buy a Macbook, sitting in my inbox.

    why would you need a cell radio on a Watch? just silly.

    I wonder if Apple can make special bands that have GPS and an extra battery? Most of us don't give a crap about GPS. But I know runners do

    because you know that it can take up to 15 to 20 minutes for the GPS chip to get sync to the satellites. Today phones use the cellular and known wifi networks to get a location until the GPS is online. Plus GPS when searching for the signal uses lots of power, That is why it make sense to have cellular and GPS together.
    A couple minutes ago, I put my Nokia in flight mode and powered it off and went outside to the edge of my property where there is no wifi signal, just to be sure. I turned it back on and it was still in flight mode.  I turned on the GPS and it took about 30 seconds to get a lock, which of course was without either a wifi or network connection, and that is with overcast conditions.

    T-Mobile has had a ton of deals giving away Galaxy S7's for free. Get on a contract get a free S7... Get up to 4 free S7's when switching over. Smacks of a desperate Sammy. Let them give their shit away. Who cares about market share. That's all just about appearances. Profit share is the key data point.
    According to your logic Apple must be desperate then, which given the story about them putting the squeeze on suppliers, they may well be:

    AT&T on Friday launched a new "Buy One Get One Free" promotion for the Galaxy S6, Galaxy Note 5 and select other Samsung smartphones, and MacRumors has learned the deal also applies to the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.

    Beginning today until December 31, 2015, AT&T customers who activate or upgrade to an iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus on AT&T Next are eligible to receive a second 16GB iPhone 6s for free, or a $650 bill credit towards the purchase of another iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus model.
