No you didn't. You just restated what you would like to see. I asked what the comparison would achieve. As in, if we were to compare the sales of launch quarters then we would see...
look up at my comment to dacapo.
It will be a fair comparison this September when Galaxy Note7 will beat iPhone 7 by a large number
So the achievement would be to further flames between the most annoying people in either company's fan base? Why would anyone... never mind. Fanboys on either side are extremely annoying and not worthy of commentary. Let 'em all stew in their sycophantic idiocy.
If that's what he's talking about then he should find the appropriate thread instead of jacking this one. This thread is about this specific earnings report. No one in the thread, prior to him, even broached the subject.
It's wrong pedantically and practically. Pedantically, Apple has never incremented the number in a yearly fashion. That would entail the iPhone's number to be iP, iP2, iP3... instead we have iP, iP3G, iP3GS, iP4, iP4S. Practically, it can't be considered a yearly increment when they use the same number two years in a row. When Samsung intro'd the S, Apple was bringing out the 4. Sammy had the S2 when Apple had the 4S. Unless Samsung had some Machiavellian plan, the idea of copying that idea sort of falls apart.
It was a choice between Black Panther, Laura Croft from Tomb Raider ( video game not Jolie), Wonder Woman, and Death from Darksiders 2. Might be switching to Death soon.
Not being difficult. You just didn't answer the question. Your response was this: "My comparison would compare sales of devices during the quarters in which they launched." That in no way whatsoever gives an answer to what the comparison would achieve. Regardless, it seems as if your just looking for the "we're winning" comparison. It's just a restatement of the obvious. Apple sells more phones during their launch quarter. Derp. By the way a better indication of the strength of a product is it's sales compared to what it did previously.
What I meant was that compared with Apple, Samsung's profit per device isn't nearly as high.
No need to save it. Just look in this thread. I'm in a discussion about Samsung copying their phone naming convention from Apple. But one thing you won't find? You won't find me thread jacking. Participating in alternate topics? Yup. Trying to change the narrative to get my so-n-so is winning fix, uh nope.
. Seriously though, I don't think you're right. Samsung has consistently "shipped" more smartphones than Apple in pretty much every comparison, sometimes by a factor of two. This is mostly due to the fact that Samsung has many more low-cost smartphones worldwide. However, Apple tracks "units sold" instead, so the comparison is difficult.
Please for the love of scientific reason, do not resort to shipped vs sold. Apple counts shipped product as sold. Just like everyone else. They tell you that in their earnings reports. They've always said it in their earnings reports.I'm not looking for anything man. I was trained as a scientist! I seek out data, to draw conclusions from it, without any predetermined bias
A lot of people wish that. Unfortunately, there's no advantage to either company in doing so. It invites too much scrutiny where currently there is none. Remember, none of these reports are for us. They are for investors who care about the overall prospects of the companies, not the minutiae.
