Consumer Reports Rates Galaxy S8 Over iPhone 7 as 'iPhone 8' Rumored to Address Most Shortcomings

Then maybe you can detail exactly the under lying stats:
- the apps profiled
- the period of time
- the type of phones
- the methodology
Until you have some answers, stats=conjecture probably nonsense, unlike cve. I won't start talking about the posters.https://macrumors.zendesk.com/hc/en...Rules-for-Appropriate-Debate?mobile_site=true

Why ask me? Since you said the stat (which is publicly published) is garbage, then onus is on you to provide evidences how is it garbage.
Otherwise you are just wearing your rose tinted glasses.

I did not know you could swipe to go back on webpages in Safari and swipe to switch apps on an iPhone (in one action, not swipe-then-tap). As far as I knew, you had to double-click the home button, swipe to find the previous app you were using, and tap on it, unlike the iPad. Something must've changed since the last time I used an iPhone. It took a lot more steps to get stuff done then.
You say you've never used a one-button mouse, so you must be (relatively new to Apple), although you like using a "one-button, one-jack" phone.
Alrighty then. Apple "gets it right" for you. Sammy and Android does not.
For me, the reverse is true. I want less steps to do what I want. Less dongles. Less "proprietaryness". I want my devices to play well with others, to not be locked-into "Apple's way or the highway".
So thank God and Google for choice. The highway it is, and always will be for me.
Fair enough.
Just another example of blindly accepting information on the internet as gospel, this article about crashes. I am under no obligation to accept any evidence without a critical eye thrown toward it, and making sure others don't either.
Completely incorrect and this has been elucidated countless times with the Intel example. Intel has the highest profit margins and record sales. AMD are making a loss. By your logic people didn't want octa cores and are willing to pay nearly 2K for one. But guess who came out with the customer friendly product at half the price and forced Intel to come out with Kaby Lake X
You must be joking, The S8 is in a whole other league when it comes to design. Its fitted a larger screen in a smaller footprint than the iPhone
Incorrect, Apple is not Intel. By your logic people should have stopped buying Apple products years ago, but it didn't happen. Therefore apples was/is selling a product that consumers wanted at the correct price point.
Yes they are. Intel makes monstrous profits in the PC market just like Apple in the smartphone market. The resemblance is uncanny. You could even say Samsung is AMD minus the losses.
Kaby lake will outsell the entirety of Ryzen despite being proven inferior in multi threaded benchmarks. However that does not in any way mean people only wanted incremental CPU improvements and a lousy 4 core CPU for years on end.. Ryzen forced Intel to come out with Kaby Lake X. Similar is the case with Apple. The iPhone 8 is in all honesty a product of Android nudging Apple. I can see nothing unique in the product the competition hasnt already done
No they are not. I guess we'll agree(or not) to disagree.
Ok if that's your opinion, I don't see it that way. Apple customers do not, imo, want an android device (or android nudged device), they want a device designed by Apple.
How so? I am seeing Intel the only profitable company in their industry as also is the case with Apple.
Apple customers want the features given by Android but need to wait for Apple to copy them(file managers,OLED,wireless charging,curved display,iris scanners,integrated home button etc). Similarly Ryzen compelled Intel to come out with an i9 to copy ThreadRipper. However Intel customers need to wait for the copy to be launched
Always back to the same question...How do you know what the masses want? You don't speak for me. I guess I can speak for the masses also. Apple customers do not want a slippery, bezeless phone. They do not want an iOS version of android. They do not want or need system level file access...they are not clamoring for oled or wireless charging. They want a top notch Apple computer, an ecosystem that just works with all devices working together harmoniously and natively.
Not everybody wants everything that the rumor mill has being in the next iPhone.
True, both have their vulnerabilities.
Most android phones are on older OS versions according to the latest numbers so they may have more
security issues being that their OS'S are 2-3 years old.
