Because they knew they would lose, it's simple.

Quite astonished that you'd bring up loose similarities between those two but expect us to believe the Lenovo isn't a rip off. Laughable really.

 

Many companies were working on similar designs at around the same time. Apple never had or does have a monopoly on these designs. Only a exact copy is breach of copyright. Apples attack against Samsung and by proxy, Android, is laughable and will not achieve anything of substance in the long run. Apple has punched itself out for litigation. Everything will settle down in the near future. Apple will make phones, Android will continue Microsoft will remain a minor player.

 

 

And Samsung profits are down 50% because you can only fool some of the people some of the time.

 

Apple have lost market share every quarter for 5 years. Samsung has its own problems with other manufacturers, it's not all to do with apple.

 

Apparently Microsoft is growing faster than apple this year , sold more phones too

 

No way!?

 

Amazing isn't it? Apple market share down, profits up, others market share up, profit down. Someone's not doing it right.

That reduction in profit means less updates for buyers from those manufacturers, those cost money and are evidently easy to drop, users will get another 'free' phone and market share will go up and profit down again.

 

Boss has one, had it a month or 2, he has a friend who works for IBM in Kuala Lumper and she sends him them all, it was elayed in the UK i think because of a possible sue from samsung, but i beleive its very powerful internally i3 or i5 ? cant rem but it was nice when i saw it.. pity its android

 

Yeah, does look the same but does it really do any harm to apple sales I wonder?

They really have copied everything

With the iphone 6+ 128gb being £789, a blatant rip off it is indeed. £789

 

Would love to see the note 4 in there, as it has a download boost mode that combines wifi and lte connections.

 

The S5 has that, but it only works if the carrier supports it. Most don't in the UK, so its useless to us.

 

Simultaneous use of Mobile and Wifi available on iPhone since iOS 6. Carrier dependent, I'll never see it on my contract.

 

Jack, who had it on their phones first, Samsung or Apple?

 

Don't know and don't care. Also don't want iOS users to believe Samsung have some secret sauce.

 

I am sure you would care if you have evidence Apple had it first.......

 

Haven't looked, so I assume they were. Happy now?
