Just like Samsung can never win with those who will spin anything in favor of Apple to no end.
Correct, so the question remains why are only apple users called sheep?

Apple has the White 4, the Black 4, the White 4s, the Black 4s and the 3G available.
Granted, all the iPhone 4's, 4s's, and it looks like the 5's look pretty much the same. They are heavy, small, and look very 2009 or 2010.

Until the big screen Iphone comes out, then the Steve would have approved because the tech was now right for larger screens.
Remember that the Steve once said that nobody wanted color or to watch video on handhelds.... The Steve would say anything to denigrate whatever wasn't in the shiny Apple toy that he was selling at the moment.
Yet "The Steve" is listed in Time Magazine's list of 20 Most Influential Americans of All Time. Could you show me what number Ballmer and Gates are listed at?
*Crickets*
The Samsung and droid phones for the most part are ugly piece of crap plastic phones that look like they were produced shortly after palm pilots in 2003.
Do you really think that Apple would build their systems with anything that doesn't exceed the engineering specifications and then stuff it in a tiny MacMini box or effectively sealed iMac? There is a reason why we don't see the low quality parts nor the enthusiast level parts in Apple hardware. They don't fit the engineering.
So back to Samsung, do you really think Samsung Electronics gives half a care about engineering? No. They only care about selling product. The carriers end up being the losers in the long run, when they promote a poorly engineered product and have to eat the cost when subscribers churn.

Yet the link as Zero to do what you were responding to.
SJ was a marketing guy threw and threw. What he said and what really going to happen are 2 different things.
Like I pointed out before SJ bashed x86 up until the day Apple made the switch to it and then he sang its praises and said PPC sucks.
SJ said Apple would never make a cell phone or make a tablet. Both times Apple was clearly working on the devices and we have crystal clear poor they were when he said that and there is no way in HELL that he did not know about it. So yeah remember SJ is a marketing guy so put little faith in what he did say.
Now behind the away from the marketing **** that came out of his mouth he did some stuff in pushing in the right direction but things like SJ said there never will be a bigger screen is complete and utter BS that he said and if you really believe that was the truth then you need to get your head looked at because there is tons of evendences that points to the fact SJ was a great at marketing.
To further - SJ pushed his and Apple's agenda. If they were going to do X or adopt X - then he would praise it. If Apple didn't use a piece of tech or have a feature - it wasn't necc.
Here we have a kid sorry macBOY comparing his car to one owned by a successful adult.
MacBOY likes his VW Jetta all tricked out with a rear air dam and glowing lights and a stereo that is worth more than the car.
The successful adult wants a sturdy clean looking car that handles well and is a pleasure to drive. No hassle and says I have made it!
My iPhone works perfect does everythingi need it to do and is a solid phone.
Who really needs a new phone every other month? And it is still a phone not a mini pad with a 5" screen.
Hey I know lots of people want an iPhone with a bigger screen. But for me I don't need my phone to be a mini tablet. Though I think I could deal with a 4" iPhone. Different strokes for different folks.![]()
Why is this surprising?
The current iPhone is old news and because of the hype surrounding the 5, fewer people are buying. I have used Samsung's current line. Not impressive at all. Many people will drop their Samsung androids the moment the iPhone 5 launches.
If there was no 5 on the horizon, I'd expect the distribution to be different.
I've yet to meet a Mac user that was dying to go back to Windows.
Some do, mostly for a specific app that currently has no Mac equivalent of similar quality/capability, but do so grudgingly, and then run back to their Mac when the task is done.

Read my post about 10 above yours in the thread. I already count for that.
You've met lots of people who have switched back, you just refuse to accept it because it hurts your narrow little world view.
Yeah except if you want to buy a really quiet computer you have to deal in things like thermal pastes and liquid cooling systems, that's advanced stuff and easy to get wrong.
Never underestimate the power of hype, and certainly nobody ever went broke playing on the capriciousness of those in higher income brackets.
I'll give it to Samsung, their hardware and designs are very nice. Too bad the software they're running is inferior (took until 4.1 just to "catch up" to ios, and most will never get to use it).
Uh, is that different from any company ever?
I do believe Steve Jobs was an extremely influential person, if only for the countless startups that he influenced, both directly and indirectly.
Average consumers love cheap products and analysts are stupid.
Android is inferior, but the iphone form factor is outdated. I think the odds of an esthetically pleasing iphone are higher than a user-friendly android os in the near future (next few months).
Is anyone else ticked off by the hard click home button?

But I was being sarcastic. Just because that's the size Steve liked doesn't mean it's the end all. And if anyone is buying the phone as a tribute to Steve, well I just don't know what to say.
It could also be saying that Samsung caters to people who cant afford other phones, no? Not that I'm saying the iPhone is a "better" phone, but cheaper things always have higher marketshare don't they?
So inferior, that it took Apple iOS 4, iOS5 and iOS6 to catch up.

Not really, since most Android users are stuck using the leftover crap from 2-3 years ago and will be forever unless they cough more cash now for another 2 years of no support.
75% of user are using Android 2.3 and beyond
