After I posted the article I scanned it. You may be on to something. I just dont understand the upgrade craze.  I asked my wife, what will and X or 8 do that you cant do now.

 

I personally swapped to Samsung about 2 years ago. Much more user friendly. Way better phone

Yeah it was really stupid for them to do that but they are behind the times any compared to what a standard Samsung phone can do.

And THAT is why they are using Samsung screens and cameras in the X.

Because I know people that only buy apple products and have to buy the apple accessories to go with it. I am a credit card holder for where I work and I have to buy for people that do not have charge cards for work. You would not believe the name brand stuff that they want for their apple products that are literally $2-300 a pop. But for some reason people buy that #######.

Marketing and branding is amazing

Apple is an American company. I'm surprised to see Trump supporters favoring Samsung. What happened to MAGA?

I have never been a fan of Apple. When people had ipods I had an Iriver. Iphone? I'll take a galaxy thanks. Apple sucks.

They are pretty much an American company in name only. Since their factories are in China and they have all that cash off shore so they can't pay taxes on it. Obama asked Jobs if he would build a factory in the USA and bring jobs back to the USA, and Jobs replied that those jobs ain't coming back. 

They are just like Google, and FB and push open borders.

Iriver?  Me too!  I had an iphone 4.  Will never own one again.  The spousal unit still has an iphone, but I suspect her next one will be a Samsung.  Wisdom is slow for some...
