Samsung was built on price fixing, gov't official bribery (which gave them favorable treatment) and copying others. The Verge even had an recent article on it. It's easy to succeed when your protected in your home country from foreign competitors (ala WIPI).

If they really designed all them then could've just started making it all themselves. But they don't and can't. Plus on top of that they wouldn't be the other companies product. It would be a special new apple product which is 99% never the case. It's either a replica of the companies or a slightly altered version. So where is Apple designing? And if Apple manufactures nothing while all others are innovating and inventing hardware and such then what's stops ty out from thinking apple e'er is buying their parts???

Where are you getting these bogus numbers from? Wait a minute, from the smell of it, I think I know exactly which orifice you pulled it from.

iphone units sold (millions):

FY 2010: 39.89
FY2011: 72.3
FY2012: 93 million

Poor Samsung fans. Maybe one day you'll learn to think and actually analyze financial statements.

year.- unit sold
2010 - 47%
2011- 37%
2012- 32%

and according to news those who owned apple phone just updated into new iphone and others left.


when I combine the falling unit sold to the raising income. does that mean apples increasing price every year just to keep their pot full of money. poor ifans

Once I was a fan of nokia but they even dont let me(and all iranians) to download stuf from their app store, why should we like them when they dont like us!
