You didn't read the article properly. At about the last third it explains that you are exactly wrong.
The only point I see to this article post is another worthless apple vs samsung flame war.
So Samsung spent more money on semiconductors? I don't get what this is supposed to tell us. That they buy more units? That they pay more per unit? Seriously, people will write anything these days for click bait.
Really ! Last I read- still had some 65% profits in mobile space and 60% or more market share in tablets !
That was a joke, right?
= no2 outside USA, Samsung is kicking ass with its CHOICE of smartphones , giving the consumer the choice of screen size and form factors is a GOOD THING ,not a bad thing, should wake up from the torpor its been in since SJs death and gets back to innovating instead of incrementally updating and reacting to the competition it "might" keep its head afloat, other wise its heading back to the dark days of just churning out pretty, expensive, boxes with nothing on them that anyone wants.
Actually i hope gets driven out of the smartphone and tablet markets eventually, and gets back to producing and investing in its desktops
as far as semi conductors go, isnt there only like 3 companies that actually MAKE these things anyway, everyone else just rents their machines
another in a long string or reports where Apple not only comes out at the top of the list but also has grown significantly where others are shrinking. How close are we getting to total world domination??
lolwut?
You really, really do not want that - otherwise say hello to appalling updates, plastic hardware & god awful customer service.
Hey, anyone remembers when Apple topped the list ?
Apple Ranked as World's Top Semiconductor Customer in 2011
Wow, when Apple did it, it was "Apple is winning!" and now that Apple slipped back to 2nd place it's "Meh, what a silly metric to talk about".
Gotta love the cognitive dissonance going on in the Macrumors community. Always spin and spin and spin.
Geez guys, try for a little consistency.

I am confused. Are you posting a quote from a random poster (who hasn't posted in here) as if it was everyone's opinion? I don't understand. I mean, it'd make sense if you caught people flip-flopping and called those specific people out but you're trying to lump everyone together. How does that even make sense?

Well it would only be inconsistent if the same person flip flopped wouldn't it? Generalizing is not a good way to prove a point.

Yeah this is the flaw inherent with people who say Apple users flip flop, they never show specific examples and just generalize. Find it incredibly immature but that's how it's always gonna be...
Insulting? Here to pick arguments? Want to irritate people with your posting style, trying to cause upset, what?
Why are you always talking down to, correcting, and insulting members here. I find your condescending posts irritating and unnecessary.

Talking about the general tone of the thread. Where are those same people ? The ones that set the general tone when Apple became first ?
That's the whole point, but obviously, it blew past your head. Same as when there are lawsuit threads. When Apple gets sued, it's "Patent trolls! Litigate rather than innovate!" and when Apple sues it's "Apple needs to defend its IP! Copycats!".
That's the whole point of my post, a point obviously that 3 of you now failed to grasp in some quick bid to attack the messenger rather than the message (another big problem at Macrumors).
