It seems like Samsung has had the edge for the last 2 years or so. Thats what Consumer Reports says anyway

The OnePlus One is another example. I'd love one. Can't make them fast enough.

Their development cycles take too long.

It is great that technology is advancing so fast but at the same time it bothers

But it seems like Samsung does it at the price of quality

There are so many features that others have added in that Apple hasn't included.

Ahead as in handset sales? Or at Consumer Reports?

Probably both

It depends on if they stay "Apple -ey". It's impossible to compete with what

Unbelievable that Apple still hasn't produced an iPhone with a large screen.

mulletino

Yes. And they are now stubborn without Steve.

boogers

They were more stubborn with him. Psychopathology.

But your thumb needs to reach the whole screen!

You don't read the news much, do you?

I don't really care if there is one on the way. It's idiotic that they haven't

mulletino

That is the point - they should have had one 2 years ago

I believe Apple still produces the top selling handset on the market

Here is an article from last week

It's all about how you measure it. Samsung has 30% of world-wide sales versus

Mikey

Sales or shipments?

Tokolosh

Those numbers flip flop as the cycles wane and ebb.

chago04

7/23/14 11:23am

Actually Apple's share of the worldwide market is down to 7%. Samsung is down

BYUMizzou

Good point, but half of the phones on the list are Samsung phones.

benMN

In total phone sales, apple is behind.

yfootball

7/23/14 11:22am

And in profit (and margin), Samsung is behind. Which do you think Apple cares

chago04

7/23/14 11:24am

In the short-term profit, but you'd be an idiot to not be concerned about

Mikey

7/23/14 11:29am

With each phone selling more and being more profitable, they don't worry.

chago04

7/23/14 11:33am

In total sales, Samsung sells about 4X more phones than Apple

BYUMizzou

7/23/14 11:29am

It will be more interesting if Apple starts making multiple phones

7/23/14 11:23am

Rumor is they will do two different sizes this Sept/Oct

Good. I own Apple stock. Finally.
