What I was saying is if Samsung could find a way to get Apple to let them put iOS on their Galaxy I think you would see iPhones drop big time & Galaxy sales go up big time. But their are some Apple fans who like the iPhone fir other things other then iOS so you would not see iPhones go away.

Samsung Estimates First Profit Growth in Two Years Thanks to Sales of Chips, Not Hardware

Don't believe what the internet tells you. Their 2015 flagship phones only sell better than yesteryear models from HTC or LG. Even compared with Samsung's own history they're flops.
So if Apple relying too much on the iPhone is a bad thing, then what does Samsung relying too much on Apple's chips mean? 
Selling more phones would not necessarily mean making more money from phones.
I accept that they are not necessarily losing money from phones (although where I live they're definitely spending a lot of money marketing that curved screen phone which I'm yet to see anybody use/own/like).
I agree... there's a bunch of 'high end' Androids out there and the features usuall include a bigger screen, more RAM, more CPU cores and higher clocked CPUs. Samsung ran out of gimmicks so used a bit of curved glass (which hasn't really caught on).
As a long-term Apple fan (since 1984) I still like Apple's vision, even though I feel it has changed - in particular in order to sell units in the Chinese market. To me this makes their products less personal and gives them more 'gimmicks' and 'bling' rather than unique features and style. However, I'm loyal to Apple.
Same-song? I have a Same-song fridge because it was the cheapest available that didn't have reviews saying it fell apart in 6 months. It's an okay fridge, but I don't really see Same-song as a creative, high-end brand that wows me in any way.
iPhones are getting bigger and I'm pretty sure that if the keep going the way they are, I'll one day have to ditch Apple (like I did with my Pebble smart watch... really wasn't an Apple Watch fan). Who will I go for? Can tell you one thing - not Samsung's marketing tactic of 'our screen is bigger and curved'. I'll go for innovation and style. Android OS hasn't impressed me in that field, nor have any of the phones. TBH if I changed, I'd be looking at Ubuntu, Firefox, Windows or some other less widely used mobile OS. But, it's Apple or 'the others' wither way... I don't think anybody will go for 'Same-song or the others'. They'll pick Same-song because it's heavily marketed, cheap (probably comes free with a plan) and is tries its hardest to market an Apple-like product (the ads and slogans are regularly identical to Apple's). Meh...

They shouldn't, but articles like these help prove my point (there have been other articles in the past).
I usually defend people who joined up just a few days before posting, but someone named "appledefenceforce" probably needs to find some links to back up his assertions that the internet is wrong and he is right
In other words, just as with Apple's products during launch weeks, the Edge could sell more if Samsung could make enough.

As if the quarter after quarter reports of drops in revenue and profit for the mobile division were not good enough. But I'm sorry my "lies" make you uncomfortable.
