I'll bet their tables will be black, with a tan backdrop.

An iPhone 8 would be a day late and a dollar short. Apple needs to come out with at least an iPhone 12, maybe even higher.
Samsung will be the best thing to happens to Apple
Having some real competition might actually lead to some innovation. There future will depend on how much pressure us users and competitors place on there company.Really hope the Magsafe 2 and iOS arn't an indication of Apples future...

LOL, Samsung started manufacturjng mobile phones 10 years before Apple, and Samsung is the first manufacturer in phablet market, do you think Samsung really exists with no original ideas?
Apple gets their customer experience ideas from Four Seasons Hotel too. Go read books about Apple instead.
----------
Go get a life instead of just playing your Apple toy
I must say this folks, Samsung s4 it's a nice phone. Just checked out the video that Samsung has on YouTube and the phone it's a wow. Apple has some serious competition and Samsung looks like is not going to slow down.

People people is just a phone.

When or if Apple decides to drop a big *** cell phone, lines will be around the continent.

Innovation
When Apple touted their panoramic camera feature on the 5, something I had on my Android phone three years ago, no one screamed that they were copying Android.
Seriously people without competition there would be no innovation. You should be grateful other OS exists.
How many of you Iphone owners would consider another OS if it weren't for all the money you've spent on apps or all the music you bought on Itunes.
Apple has you by the balls.
Also you have to admit that some of these Android phones are interesting and that the specs are better.
I had every Iphone except the 5. Currently I have a Nexus 4 and am waiting delivery of a Sony ZL.
BTW I'm pretty sure Apple didn't invent the mobile phone.

There's always Apple support on the phone.

Really? I just got the impression that it was a S3 with crazy specs and some useless features. I'd just stick with the S3.
BTW the phones might be a wow but the presentation was IMO horrible.
Why would you want a domestic, US company which offers its employees tremendous benefits and which creates wonderful products to be outpaced by a lying, sneaking and downright cheating Asian competitor? That does nothing for the US economy.
Why on earth would you ever think that Apple is so innocent? By supporting Apple you are also supporting Samsung since they use parts manufactured by Samsung.
A notification would appear on the home screen and App icons would show a number indicating how many messages, emails etc
There was no notification centre and no way to see notifications after they had been dismissed.
However, the jailbroken iOS had lock screen notifications in 2008 prior to the release of the T-Mobile G1
(they were nothing like notification centre today, but it's clear where Google were getting their ideas from)

Apple deserves credit for creating an elegant phone with a large (at the time) and vibrant capacitive screen, multitouch, gesture UI, smooth media playback, capable browser, flat mini-tablet form factor, and a central app store. Some of those features existed on different devices, but before the iPhone there was nothing that combined all of them. It drastically changed the smartphone market, and Samsung's Galaxy devices are derived from the iPhone (so much so that I think Samsung deserved to lose that lawsuit).
Having written that, Samsung deserves credit for pushing the envelope. No one else has their screen-area to footprint and screen-area to weight ratios. So though Samsung copied Apple, they also beat Apple at their own game, while also offering removable batteries and expandable batteries in devices that are still light and pocketable but have significantly bigger screens (that are even more vibrant than Apple's).
And Samsung deserves credit for bringing the stylus back to handheld computers by making it work well with the Note series' capacitive screen. Personally I find the Note a bit too large, and I don't find its stylus especially useful, but there's no question it's been a successful product.
I disagree with the implication that Apple's decline is tied to the passing of Steve Jobs. He underestimated the appeal that larger phones would have. Apple should've released the iPhone5 two years sooner, and a 5" model last year. As it, the iPhone5 was (literally) too little too late.
Because Apple invented the color black....and walls....and tables.....and wood....
Steve Jobs was also notorious for initially hating an idea only to embrace it a short time later. So it may be possible that he would have pushed Apple toward a bigger screen earlier had he still been alive, but it's pointless to speculate, really.
IMO, Apple should have skipped the 4S entirely. We've had the same iPhone design with very small modifications since the 4. That's way too long, and Apple is feeling the heat. Hopefully Apple does something about that, but it may not be possible until the next generation.
Samsung has a fairly strong presence in the US (from its Mobile HQ in NJ to its chip factories in Austin) ... and has long donated to educational projects in America. They set their profit margins so that the world can afford many of its products. Salespeople in the US can make extra money from Samsung sales.
OTOH, Apple sent its manufacturing jobs outside the US, and spent years under Jobs doing little or nothing for charity. Their products are priced for maximum profit margin, benefiting mostly itself. Salespeople in the US make no extra money from Apple sales.
Not to mention the millions of dollars Apple is purposefully keeping in offshore accounts to avoid paying taxes.
iPhone 4S is an act in Apple to grab back marketshare on phones with dual-core CPU I believe, since Galaxy S2 was announced nearly at the same time of iPhone 4.
Apple always believe Android devices suck of course, but they really underestimated the potential of Samsung in manufacturing quad-core or octa-core mobile CPU. Main stream Android devices are using at least dual-core and flagship Android devices are running quad-core and having 5" Full HD screen now.
Apple now definitely needs to chase up to the flagship phone market to grab back marketshare, hope Apple won't ignore this until it is too late.
