I know this is a little off topic,. but thought it should be seen. Here is the article that i copied and pasted with the URL below to the story, thanks.

There has been lots of action in the mobile industry this week.
First, Samsung is launching a much-anticipated new smartphone in New York this evening—a phone that many observers think will vault it ahead of Apple (AAPL) and the rest of the smartphone industry.
The existing version of this phone, the Galaxy S3, has already put Samsung on a par with Apple, with many phone buyers preferring the Galaxy’s large screen to the smaller one on Apple’s iPhone 5.
Samsung’s new phone, the Galaxy S4, will be even bigger, and it is also expected to have several other new features that may make the iPhone look old and boring in comparison.

Samsung, the Korean TV giant, has come out of nowhere over the last few years to become the world’s largest smartphone seller. This rise has surprised both Wall Street and Apple. Apple’s stock has tanked. And with Samsung now poised to leap past Apple, Apple executives are suddenly on the defensive.
This week, in a surprising move that has rubbed even Apple fans the wrong way, one of Apple’s senior executives, Phil Schiller, gave interviews to The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg in which he trashed the Android operating system that powers Samsung phones.
«When you take an Android device out of the box, you have to sign up to nine accounts with different vendors to get the experience iOS comes with,» Schiller told the WSJ. «They don’t work seamlessly together.»
He went on to say that «Android is often given as a free replacement for a feature phone and the experience isn’t as good as an iPhone.»
The points that Schiller made about Android—that it is fragmented into different versions and that it’s not as simple to use as Apple’s operating system—were reasonable. But coming as they did on Samsung’s big launch day, the comments seemed defensive, classless, and even desperate.
Apple’s founder and CEO, Steve Jobs, was famous for trashing his competitors’ products. But Jobs’ picked his spots carefully. His criticisms came on Apple conference calls or at Apple events. He didn’t try to steal competitors’ thunder on their product launch days.
Also, in the days when Jobs was ridiculing the competition, Apple really was miles ahead of everyone. But it no longer is. So the sudden show of bravado seems even more tone deaf.
The last big development in the smartphone industry this week is that the executive who has built Google’s (GOOG) Android operating system from the ground up, Andy Rubin, is being replaced by another Google executive.
Google appears to want to «unify» its two operating systems, Android and a laptop-based operating system called Chrome. This move makes strategic sense: In a world in which «mobile» is now a continuum between laptops and phones (with tablets in between), it’s silly to maintain two separate operating systems. And it looks as though, in this unification, Google has chosen between two executives and decided to have the new combined effort led by Chrome boss Sundar Pichai.
In a trend that is reminiscent of the PC industry in the 1980s and 1990s, the Android operating system has become the dominant global mobile operating system over the last several years.
Apple’s operating system, meanwhile, iOS, has been reduced to a niche player.
In «platform markets» like these, in which third-party companies build apps and services that run on top of these operating systems, market share is very important.
So if Samsung’s new phone is a big hit, and Google’s Android continues to gain global market share, Apple’s challenges are only going to increase.

I love the iPhone and I love android. Both for different reasons. The iPhone always «just works». Which is fantastic and boring at the same time. Android works great or needs help working great which is all the fun we do

Wrong section . People fail to realize that Android statistics include the cheaper, lower end phones. Samsung caters to those who want the high end devices as well as to those who seek a low-cost for, while apple does NOT.

So they are comparing their ONLY phone which is their HIGH end to a variety of androids from the GN2 to some android phone you can pick up for pennies on the dollar. Those who I have spoken to that talked bad about androids were talking about phones I’ve never even heard of. What they should do is compare the satisfactory ratings for specific phones and see which one comes on top. oh wait. already done that and saw the results

So many editors are so quick to jump the gun and publish an article with HORRIBLE sources and populations in which the statistics were gathered from.

iPhone vs. Samsung Phone

The pros and cons and ups and downs of Apple and Samsung phones

Together, Apple and Samsung make up nearly two-thirds of the smartphone market. The popularity of iPhones and Galaxies can be explained by good design, user experience, personalization, and brand loyalty. If you’re unsure which brand to choose for your next device, this guide can help. Here are some things to consider when deciding between an iPhone and a Samsung Galaxy.

Choose an iPhone for Better Compatibility

Continuity with other Apple devices.

Doesn’t work well on devices with other popular systems, such as Android, Windows, and ChromeOS.

An iPhone is ideal if you own a Mac computer, iPad, or Apple Watch. You can start activities or projects on one Apple device and continue where you left off on another. The Apple Airdrop feature also makes it easy to transfer files from one iOS or macOS device to another.

Additionally, Apple Watches are only compatible with iOS and Mac devices. That means if you want to get an Apple smartwatch, you need an iPhone to take full advantage of it.

Choose a Samsung for Better Customization

Set up apps and programs like TWRP Custom Recovery for advanced customization access.

Gaining root access to a device can render it unusable if not done correctly.

Samsung has customized its user interface so that it’s different from other Android devices. Older devices use the Samsung Experience UI, while newer devices with Android Pie use the Samsung One UI.

Samsung’s new interface is minimalistic, intuitive, and task-focused. You’ll spend less time looking for apps and functions, and more time doing what you want with your device.

Design wise, the Samsung has a theme library. You can create themes to give your device a unique look.

If you’re an advanced user, root your Samsung device and install custom recovery firmware to access the back end of the device. Many people use these methods to install leaked updates and programs that aren’t included with Samsung devices. There’s some risk in performing such functions, but many superusers like knowing that they’re able to do it.

Choose an iPhone for Regular OS Updates

iOS updates release in a timely fashion for all compatible devices.

May have to wait while bugs and other small issues are patched with smaller updates.

When the latest iOS update is released, it’s available to all compatible devices at the same time. It takes a few months for the majority of iOS users to update to the latest system version. Most Samsung devices only get the latest Android system version when it’s first released.

Choose a Samsung for Expandable Storage Options

Manually add more storage if the internal storage isn’t enough.

MicroSD cards for expandable storage are typically sold separately.

Samsung devices use a microSD card to expand the storage amount on the device. The internal storage on the latest smartphones can be expanded up to 256 GB or 512 GB.

Prices vary depending on the brand and capacity, but microSD cards are often on sale at stores like Best Buy and Target. Samsung also occasionally offers deals to get a free microSD card with the purchase of a new device.

Choose an iPhone for a Greater Variety of Apps

iOS users are typically the first to know about the latest new app craze.

iOS apps tend to consume more disk space than Android apps.

Apps typically release and update on iPhones before other devices because developers find it easier to create on iOS. Many developers wait until apps become popular on iOS before attempting to build an Android version. If you want to make sure you have access to the latest apps, the iPhone may be the better choice for you.

Choose a Samsung for Better Displays

Samsung hasn’t adopted the top-notch design.

Replacing broken or damaged screens can be costly.

Samsung devices have one of the best displays on the market. The Samsung OLED displays are known for rich color and detail and are guaranteed on all Galaxy S and Galaxy Note models.

OLED displays are great for watching videos and displaying pictures. While the super-premium iPhones also have OLED displays, if you want a lower cost or older iPhone, you may have to settle for an LCD display, which isn’t as bright and has less color variation.

Choose an iPhone for Faster Performance

Don’t have to close apps for better performance.

iOS navigation can be challenging.

Many people enjoy how iPhones seem to run fast and smooth, with few instances of freezing or crashing.

High-performance functions, such as gaming, watching videos, or having several apps open at once don’t seem to slow an iPhone down. Some iPhone navigation and gestures may be challenging for those who aren’t familiar with iOS, but these gestures are easy to learn.

Choose a Samsung for Better Battery Life

Samsung devices tend to have longer daily battery life with typical use.

High-performance users may experience faster battery drain.

Despite fumbles from the past, Samsung devices tend to have decent battery life due to the large batteries. The Galaxy S and Galaxy Note smartphones also support quick charging, so if your battery does dip to a lower percentage than you’re comfortable with, it only takes a few minutes to get most of the battery power back.

Choose an iPhone for Better Security Options

Users that stay away from risky behaviors are comparatively safe.

Bugs can lay dormant for some time.

Apple devices have a high level of security. While not foolproof, if you avoid risky practices, you can keep your iPhone free of bugs and viruses. Other ways to keep an iPhone safe are keeping iOS up to date, not installing unauthorized apps, services, or programs, and having strong passwords.

Choose a Samsung for Great Camera Specs

Great for low light photography.

Can struggle to capture image and video detail, especially in third-party apps.

Samsung improved the quality of its cameras significantly over the years. Samsung mobile cameras are some of the best among Android devices. Some of the top functions include a wide-angle mode, low light-HDR, and a scene optimizer, which adjusts the camera settings to get the ideal shot based on the subject.

Choose an iPhone for Better Camera Features

High Dynamic Range features are superb.

Low light images can be lackluster.

Cameras on the iPhone shine for practical functions. Many users find it easier to get a first time shot with an iPhone, where images don’t suffer from a lack of detail or overexposure.

Features like Live Photos are popular for sharing, as this captures three-second gifs. iPhone cameras are also ideal for capturing images and videos on third-party apps like Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat.

Choose a Samsung If You Prefer a Headphone Jack

Can use a standard 3.5mm audio jack with the latest Samsung devices.

No real downside to this feature.

Samsung’s flagships are some of the only premium smartphones to include 3.5mm audio jacks. There’s no telling how long this will last, but for now, the Galaxy Note 10, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy 10+ feature headphone jacks.

All of Samsung’s older devices also include headphone jacks. The Galaxy Note 9, Galaxy S9, and Galaxy S9 Plus are viable options for those looking to purchase a high-end smartphone.

iPhone vs. Samsung: Which Is Better?

Both Apple and Samsung phones are great, and each comes with pros and cons. An iPhone may be ideal for those who want a straightforward user experience. A Samsung device may be better for power users who like more control and variety. Overall, choosing a new smartphone often comes down to lifestyle and personal preference.
