Their bottom line would have been better over the past 4 years if they stayed out of the phone business and just provided apps for Apple and MS.
Sure, it is way better being at the expenses of your competitors

Apple could improve the UI, especially Settings. For example, in Safari settings, why is the option "Private Browsing" there? It takes multiple key presses, surely this is better placed within Safari.app itself?
Another good example is VPN.. to turn it on -> Settings -> General -> VPN -> On

What type of leverage over competitors did Google gain from Android?
Not everyone uses YouTube. This was one app I kept hidden in restrictions.
Finally the last part of the ecosystem, media. They need a tv/movie service and a music service. An easy option would be to strike deals with the likes of Netflix and Spotify. Alternatively they open their own store and get licenses from all the media companies/groups. However we all know how long this kind of stuff takes.
second tizan was a back up to android because Samsung didn't know wtf was going to happen with sue happy apple and needed a plan b if they had to dump android and not be allowed to launch new phones using it as they were afraid apple would stop them because of android
third Samsung doesn't use a cover/ui over android,it builds its os from pure asop android code and makes it exactly how they want it from the gound up,its not using stock android and covered with there ui skin over it,its from the ground up made by there software team using base android code..
let me ask you this,if android is free to use for Samsung and they have full control over how to make it from the ground up.why would they need tizan when everything they want to do they are already doing on android?
Further proving you need to take a business class.
The iPhone has a design in the works for one year? No. Roadmaps are across several years and iterations. They are design, often, concurrently - and can take more than a year.
Facebook SUCKS anymore. And I would love to go 3 rounds with Zuckerberg in a cage fight
I am more than happy to keep facebook confined to an app on my iPhone. I don't want it always on, alerting, prompting me to over share, and view every single thing my friends do.
Why, do you get beat up, when you fight tough guys?
