That's the mainstream answer, but what product in the last 20 years has succeeded with that model. Competitors are too savvy and consumers too fickle. That model is why Apple makes big profits and the rest of the industry loses money.
I'm amused at the rage of the Apple users in this thread. Kool aid, cults, sheep, It's amusing how angry they are
It's not really rage; it's venom in celebrating the downfall of a rival.
I don't remember any negative Apple ads, but maybe I missed them.
I think it mostly comes because of the tone of Samsung's negative ads against Apple.
And biting the hand that fed them; since when do you kick one of your biggest customers in the shins? Not too smart.
It's human nature to take pleasure in seeing arrogance go for a fall. Samsung made its own bed and now it has to sleep in it.
I actually don't care about how delicate my iPhone is, since I'm going to be careful in using it.
I don't think the aluminum is absolutely needed, I'm fine with my plastic Lumia as well, but Samsung build quality is utterly ridiculous.
And thats what apple have being doing since Steve Jobs found Apple. Is to change the way people use technology, thats one of the fundamentals that made Apple so successful. for example i remember when i use to rock my walkman back in the day and carry around a case with 5 or so CD's. And then here comes apple with the iPod, what the hell is this? a little pocket device that can hold up to a 1000 songs!!! guest what? i got one the very first day it was available. And then there was no more walkman. ever since then it was all Apple products for me. So i don't think Apple will have any problems in that Area on changing the way people use technology they have been so for years.
I've picked up a windows phone in a store, but haven't used one in the real world. The metro interface with tiles seems weird to me, I'll have to use it longer to get used to it both on phone and pc
Goodnight Samsung Mobile.
May the rest of the company have mercy on your inability to function.

I've always said, "watch out for WIN Phone." The WIN10 Phone could be big,
as Windows 10 is mostly Windows 7 Pro 64 bit with Metro. 7 Pro 64bit was the only WIN OS I actually liked (a bit.)

Actually, not sure how much money Android makes. And it is not the OEMs making the money.
http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/google-earns-four-times-more-from-ios-than-android/
It allegedly makes four times as much from iOS than Android. Add the loss from most of the OEMs and its loss from Motorola, and I am not sure it as an ecosystem makes money and it clearly has a lower ROI than iOS so it is not a good example of this model working.
We would not use Macs were I work. They're too expensive, they're too hardware limited, they're too hard to fix, there is no public future hardware/software plan and they don't run the right software for what we do.
I'm on my Mac at home all the time but at work it's Windows 7 all the way.
At last! It's finally forcing Samsung to put some effort into rethinking their handsets. The new Note is a reaction to this : gone is the cheap faux metal crap. This slowdown in sales will kick them in the butt and this will give better phones to consumers.
It's good to see better Samsung phones, because even though their UIs and materials were always crap, they still had the best cameras in the Android space.

They would have a much larger share of the very lucrative Apple component business -- Once Samsung started copying, Apple started diversifying away from Samsung. The lost business is worth billions of dollars.
Oh, yes, I'm sure you would be able to buy a 5.5" iPhone, just as many many thousands/millions of people have, if Apple was the only one company making Smart Phones.
Yes, sure

Yes, Apple made 66 negative adverts over a span of 4 years when they were the underdog against the PC.
Of course, Apple fans refuse to see these as negative, saying they were fun and just pointing out how Apple was better.
Must like the Samsung Ads are fun and pointing out how Samsung is better on the points in their adverts also.
Again, of course, people choose to dislike those ads that are negative towards the brand they like.
Still, Samsung has a LONG way to go to read 66 negative Ads as Apple made.
I'm not a Samsung or Andriod fan but I do hope Samsung continues to push better quality phones more inline to the Alpha. I like to see competition in general to push Apple.
That not an Ace, more like the Joker, the cards that some times get discarded.
Do you even understand why a patent must be licensed by "FRAND" vs. not? What you did was completely contradict the argument that the iPhone (or something like it) would have happened without Apple. Thank you.
FRAND = Fair, Reasonable, Non-descriminatory. Patents have FRAND requirements because they are contributed to a standard, and licensing cannot be restricted. The cellular telecommunications standards would have been created with, or without, Samsung, just as they were before Samsung existed.
Non-FRAND = Apple. Unique and proprietary. Licensed at Apples discretion only.
Not necessary. Just show us news clips of any Samsung line week after week for next launch of the Note or S whatever.

Samsung ads are not simply pointing how their product is better. They are referring to the USERS of Apples products, The employees at the apple stores, the people waiting in line to buy the products and simply insulting them... not the products or the company. They've taken the insults directly to the end user making it much more personal.

Here's an interesting link from an Android site of all places:

Amazing how people here still call them "Samesung", when Apple JUST entered the phablet market that Samsung started years ago.
The irony of that is just delicious, but unfortunately goes right over the heads of most posters here, because
Samsung didn't start the phablet market any more than Apple started the smartphone market:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phablet
There are lots of big manufacturing companies in China that Apple uses. Somehow when something goes wrong, they are "Apple's manufacturing partners". There was even a report of 300 workers at an "Apple factory" threatening suicide - because they were afraid of losing their jobs because Xbox production was slowing down. And somehow, when something goes wrong at a place involving Apple, it's news. Other companies, no news.
The difference is what you companies do when **** happens. Apple takes action, and makes sure that workers get compensated and that things don't happen again. For example, Apple looks very hard whether companies hire anyone under the age limit, and makes sure that these kids go back to school, with the "employer" paying for it. There were two cases where they found companies were systematically hiring underaged workers, and both times the companies lost their contract with Apple. Result: The numbers are going down.
Samsung, on the other hand, has been trying its hardest to avoid any responsibilities for the leukemia cases at its factories. (And they are Samsung factories, not factories of Samsung partners). Samsung also closes their eyes to child labour and just states that nobody underage ever worked at Samsung's or their partners' factories.
