Samsung Electronics Co. (005930), the world’s biggest maker of smartphones, posted its slowest profit growth since 2011 as new Apple Inc. (AAPL) iPhones lured high-end customers and gains in the Korean won curbed the value of overseas sales.
I remember when Apple would miss earnings, all the resident "geniuses" would post how doomed Apple is. So with that logic, Samsung is, amirite?? :roll eyes:

According to the anti-Apple hate mongers, how on earth could a shiny useless "toy" beat the fabulous Samsung? The end of the world is in sight! :(

Finally - after a year and a half Apple nudges a little bit back toward the previous $800 high - you must be so happy ! Finally you can post something to justify the older technology with the Apple symbol.

Sadly for you - I don't care. Apple could be $600 or $ 700 and the undisputed most popular phone among 15 year old teenage girls - I don't make my decision to purchase based on those factors or I never would have switched. I did not know what level Samsung stock was at or which phone was the most popular - I chose the Galaxy S3 because it was the best phone on the market. 1 1/2 years later - I don't have to line up to get to get rid of my phone so I guess I made the right choice.

If this thread (as most) is to try and justify your phone by stomping on Samsung or regurgitating a few Apple positive news items; well high five with a few of your Apple fanbots.

But Ed told me Apple was doomed?

Apparently that Samsung watch didn't take off... Who could have seen that coming.

Will be interested to see how Samsungs share in China holds up.

Really?

If I were Samsung, LG, HTC, I'd be a lot more worried that Google is going to muscle them out of the market with their own iron.
Even after the Motorola acquisition Google has not made much of a dent - they don't excel at making products people are willing to pay for in volume.

Apple shares slump on weak forecast

" Apple shares slumped more than 7% on Monday after the technology giant gave a weak forecast that sparked concern about future revenue growth."

Actually it finished down 7.9% Link: http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2014/01/27/apple-first-quarter-2014-results/4944267/

Now it isn't that important to us Android users but I know djk lives by these stock figures.

A bright note is that to pacify investors Tim Cook (Apple CEO) has suggested that "We admit that Samsung has proven Jobs wrong as without a doubt that the larger screens are the best cell phone design. In view of this and to satisfy investors we will be copying the Samsung design for this Fall's iphone design and maybe make a watch accessory if we can figure out how Samsung did theirs.***

*** Okay, it's not an exact quote - I might have paraphrased the words but not the intent. :D

I know, there's lots of choices out there. Choose the phone that makes the most sense for what you need it to do. Who gives a flying fuck about market share, bla bla bla... For me, the BlackBerry Z30 was the logical choice. It's an amazing phone despite all the negative reviews which in my opinion are a load of crap. Every time an iPhone user sees my phone they can't help comment one the beauty of it, not to mention the awesome battery life. lol

Hahaha... It is true that the larger 5" screens are the perfect size. They make iPhones look like toys. :D

LMAO, see I knew I could count on you to make my case for me.

Samsung stock drops and its no big deal.

Apple does and as usual, they're doomed ad nauseam.

I'm not sure if this is the first sign of senility - but you were the one who started this thread about Samsung stock prices. I just thought I would have a little fun with it. Pull the tail on the already Apple sensitive fanbot. :p
