I actually like the HomePod. Decent speaker to quickly connect to, though still too expensive.

Because they always have. When have apps been ready right out of the gate for iPhone changes? It took some apps forever to compensate for the larger screens several years ago, or the iPad Pro's rounded corners.
A ton of apps were ready on day one of the App Store launching, and likewise, a lot of apps are ready to take advantage of SDK changes. That's why Apple is always on the schedule of previewing those changes in June, giving developers about three months to adjust (about four for macOS).
Yes, most of the major players (and lots of minor ones) have always supported new Samsung devices. You don't survive in an app store if you don't support new devices, especially a huge vendor like Samsung.
Seriously, what is your problem with Samsung? Don't forget, they make most of Apple's parts.
No problem with Samsung. Just a problem with people making blanket statements that simply aren’t true.
Your statement that Samsung devices "always" get updated is a straight up lie. It's so ridiculous I have trouble believing someone could actually type that out and hit "post".
Question. Do you think that nobody else here owns or has used Android or Samsung devices in the past? That you can make blanket statements that others know to be false?
They've moved away from that screen protector monstrosity I assume.

They put out a workstation Mac shaped like a trashcan that had cooling problems that they couldn't ever update. They eventually admitted that but only after shipping probably the least reliable notebook keyboard of all time.
It was probably true when Jobs said it, these days not so much. They wouldn't put out anything radical in terms of smartphone design though you're right there.

Sorry for the butt in.. can I just ask a question... Why can't you just wish the best for Samsung for their endeavor. I'm sure Samsung has not done any harm to you personally that they deserve your hatred. Well if you really hate Samsung for no reason at all then I guess it is safe to say you are acting like a fanboy. No insult or disrespect intended, just an observation.
Censorship at its finest. They are not ignorant to the fact that obtuse apologists are everywhere.

When it comes to software there is not so much you need to do. If you have ever tried developing software for Android, the SDK allows you to make your app adapt to different screen sizes or orientation with very little coding or sometimes no coding at all. Understanding that Android OS will be deployed to different manufacturer which means different screen sizes I believe they also develop the SDK to flawlessly handle this kind of problem and for me they did it very well. You can practically create a specific layout for all different screen sizes for each orientation with no or little coding at all. If you want you can even set it up so that your app will only install to tablet screen sizes making it unavailable to phone screen sizes devices. I'm not sure about iOS SDK if it has this kind of feature, I think not because developer are expected to have a definite screen sizes to work with. I guess that's one reason why they need to create iPadOS because apps are not able to adapt from phone size screen to tablet size screen.
Wew.. hehe... you really dont know what you are saying
I guess it makes a lot of sense to fanboys

The market doesn't agree, I think it's at like 4% or so? Even after they had it on constant sale throughout the holiday.
Hardly a hit
Why does it need to be a hit?
This is a Samsung thread; there are a ton of Samsung products that aren't a "hit". But people buy them. And they work fine. Just like HomePods.
Mr:<LOL> "So much hate"
Mrs: <Grinning> "Well, it's a Samsung product. What do you expect? I would like an iPhone version though with Pencil support.
Mr: "Yeah. Would't mind a Note version with DeX either"
Mrs: <LOL> "You and your SPen and DeX" <roll eyes>
Sometimes (well, most of the times, actually) is so exciting living in a multiple platforms household.

Yeah, the biggest Android phone maker outside of China doesn't get supported by a app makers. 22 percent worldwide market share. OK. Sure. Huh huh.
I don't know what point you're making here.
That a lot of third parties support Samsung-specific APIs? I don't believe that's true. I would wager that apps that support Apple Pencil are far more popular/widespread than ones that support S Pen.
That a lot of third parties make sure their apps work on Samsung phones? Sure, I guess. Makes sense; they sell a lot.
That Samsung phone tend to get the newest Android? Well, 20% of Samsung's portfolio is updated to the 12-month-old Android version. (Yes, yes, older Android versions still get plenty of updates, and you may be lucky to get one on your Samsung phone as well. That helps, but it's not really the point.)
I didn’t refuse anything. How about you do a search about iPhone iPhone exploding and MacBook Pro 2015 banned
I asked for an example of a product that Apple had to issue a full recall of all devices made and then ceased production.
I think you misunderstood what i was saying. I was saying that some iphone had exploded.
Way back in this thread @XXPP Said:
You replied:
So, I'm waiting for you to show me which product Apple had to discontinue.
As to your comment that Apple has had some iPhone batteries explode, so what? Lithium batteries can catch fire and in some cases explode.

Galaxy Edge SDK, Samsung Professional Audio SDK, Tizen smartwatches. Just a couple examples off the top of my head that are lacking in support (and one outright failure).
