no one cares about the note 3? you serious? the note series (although it offers really BIG phones) sells in millions, it is a really successful line, it has been so successful that every other phone manufacturer is considering bringing out their own phablet (even apple), if it hadn't been successful we would have never seen the LG optimus G pro, Xperia Z ultra, HTC on Max, etc. after the galaxy S line it's the most successful android smartphone line.
but the thing is, i wasn't talking about this, i was saying that apple needs to stop these leaks, it kills all the "surprise factor", the note 3 was just an example, tak ONE max for example, we haven't seen SO MANY leaks of that phone either, if other companies can keep their phones under wraps till the last minute then so can apple, apple needs to do more.
