You have some good points there I had not thought of / did not know about. I have never owned a Samsung or really looked much at their devices. I do still think though that we seem to wait a long time for Apple to produce devices, with great fanfare, than seem for the most part to have technology that has already been implemented elsewhere. I wouldn't say they are skating to where the puck is going to be. However, they do absolutely refine and make some lovely products, and that is why I buy Apple stuff, and not their competitors'.
