What excuse?
I asked you who your articles were referencing?
Was it an internal projection being reported or an analyst speculating. I’m sure you have read the articles you posted didn’t you?
Someone else that doesn’t know the difference between an internal projected number Samsung came up with, and an analyst channel checking.
So who is the source everyone is referencing.
I posted plenty of numbers you just want to ignore it.
Samsung was making smartphones before Apple even thought about it. And if you like Apple products so much, why would you want their biggest competitor to close up shop. Apple is slow in innovating and expensive now... imagine what they'd be without competition?
There seems to be a reading comprehension problem running rampant in this thread. If they are releasing the Note at the same time they always release it in prior years, how is that rushing anything? Whatever next iPhone X that Apple comes out with next still won't have many of the features of the Note 8... things that people who buy a Note want, so I doubt Samsung is "really scared".
I always laugh when people make these arguments too... Samsung was making smartphones long before Apple... and the iPhone's back design is not something to brag about. The stupid way they did the camera you can't even lay it flat on a table. They should have at least put a little bump on the opposite side of the camera so it would lay flat, if they weren't able to figure out how to design it not to stick out. SJ would have never accepted that protruding camera design.
Your link was just as speculative as the one I posted which is my whole point.

Exactly!!!
No one knows what the target for iPhone X is/was except Apple. Ant target you read is made up by analysts because Apple doesn’t make that information public.
We do know the iPhone X has been the best selling iPhone since release and has propelled Apple to record revenues and profit in the last 2 quarters.
For you or anyone to state or imply iPhone X had been anything but a rousing success is simply ignoring the real facts and making up your own like “missing projections” to support a false narrative.
Every public number and statement from Apple proves iPhone X killed it.
What exactly did the Note 8 or S8 copy about the iPhone X or 8?
Got to be the face unlock or the oled screen, or the edge to edge display.
I know Samsung had them first, for years even, but they heard Apple were going to do it so rushed to beat Apple to the punch.
But always remember Apple are never first but always right!!!
You obviously missed the point of my post lol. Yes the iPhone X has done well, no arguments there.
As Klyster has pointed out there are no offical numbers from either source here so this is not going to go anyway. Im off to bed.
No wonder you don’t want to post it again.
It’s from March 7.
Your referencing the Citibank forecast
Hahahaha I bet you didn’t even read it.
February 21 even better
You do realize they have been disproven by Apple at their last quarterly report...where they reiterated to not to try and guess how thier doing through channel checks
The report I provided was given sources within Samsung.
Huge difference... well if you can discern between internal projections and people making things up.
But you claimed to have more recent sources
Apple didn’t copy Samsung face unlock.
It’s a completely different technology 3D vs 2d.
Samsung didn’t invent oled or diamond PenTile display either.
Edge to edge? More like corner to corner.
Apple is the first phone that display extends to all four corners. As a plus no curved edges.
Considering S9 can beat the newest iPhone X is already a feat in itself. I doubt there was ever a time when the current single model galaxy has ever beaten the current single model iPhone in sales in any months.

But with thick borders, ugly metal rims and notch

Maybe some day. Unforunatly if you compare launch sales between the two handsets (an apples to apples comparison) the iPhone X slaughters the s9 in sales. It’s not even close.
Not until the s10.
Which is rumored to a notch and no 3.5 mm Jack. And it should record more than 5 min of 4K video lol.

Not sure why they would attempt to upstage Apple here. Apple's two year old iPhone 7 already sells more than any Samsung phone. Samsung needs to focus on marketing their features and what makes their products great opposed to always trying to be better than Apple.
You got me, red handed. I am biased against stupid advertisements. Feel free to peruse my post history, I criticize Apple's stupid ads plenty as well.
Any post that links to an article saying iPhone X was "below" anything is wrong, so I needed to bring some facts.You obviously missed the point of my post lol. Yes the iPhone X has done well, no arguments there.

You can remove apps from Apple too, so I don't think Android really gives much more choice other than default apps.

If Samsung can engineer a flat camera why can’t Apple. I hate the iPhone camera bump.
It's cheaper and more profitable to design a camera that protrudes.
