Forums - Gaming Discussion - why does samsung hate apple?

Every cool person on the planet hates apple, they are the worst. Long live Samsung =D



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

They don't hate them, I should like to think, but they've been fighting for the same customers for years now.

First Samsung destroyed Phillips, then Nokia, then Sony, and lately they've been coming for Apple.



Iphones use Samsung screens



They don't hate Apple and Apple doesn't hate Samsung. It's all just cooperation, money and PR. And you're falling for it.
People who spend time on hating a company for something that makes similar stuff as their "favorite", just a tad different, have too much time or a weird job that is all about hardware fights and numbers, be it Hz, px, price, or whatever unimportant on its own little number they can find.
Similarities to Xbox vs. PS etc. intended.

I'm just glad I own products from all "big players" and know what's best for me. Thank you.



They're just jealous because Apple makes better phones. That's all.

Has anybody seen the new galaxy note 4 commercial? I think it's the galaxy note 4. The commerical mocks apple and shows internet comments talking about how the new iphone 6 looks like one of there models from 2011. It also shows comments,were apple was orginally mocking the bigger type phones. I have to admit,that I thought the commerical was kind of funny,but still don't get the hate. that commercial kind of reminded me of those classic nintendo vs sega commerical that I used to see as a kid. It does'nt matter,as the first batch of apple 6 pre-orders are already sold out and it'll probably be awhile,before I'm able to get my iphone 6. :)

Because love hurts.

It's easy to mock when Apple are hypocrites after all.  Apple mocked bigger phones until they made their own big phones.  The original iPhone 4 was perfectly designed to be reached by your thumb... but then we got longer thumbs when the iPhone 5 came out .  And now iPhone 6 is bigger plus they have a phablet.

I've preordered two iPhone 6es, one for my wife and the other I'll sell because I like my LG G3 (better camera, storage, etc.).

The same happens with the Microsoft ads.
I just think that since Apple is the "industry standard," you'll do very well to make yourselves look better than them.


LOL Apple isn't the industry standard in anything.  The only thing they are leaders in is being overrated and overpriced.


Isnt that the point?



Yay!!!

If by better you mean less features, worse specs and higher price, then yeah.



Things have turned around. Apple is no longer the innovative market leader that every one follows when Steve Jobs was heading Apple. Samsung now is the mobile hardware leader and every one follows including Apple. It is funny when apple releases the smart watch one year after Samsung released it.

Yeah, I thought like that too until some months ago. I had the Xperia Z for nearly two years and I was sure that it beats any iPhone because of better specs and a Full HD screen and what not. But there are many things the reviews don't tell you. Sometime I got my hands on an iPhone 5S, the first time I ever used an iPhone. And it blew my mind. The specs are not that good on paper, but the system is just ridicilously fluid. Everything is snappy as hell, you click an app, it's there instantly. On Android I used to wait a few seconds for an app to start and even the menu itself had to fight with some jaggies despite a Quad-Core and 2 GB RAM. Need I to tell you that the iPhone takes photos instantly and you don't have to wait 2 seconds like with many Androids? On top of that, the camera makes better photos than some 20 MP smartphones. It's not all about specs at the end of the day.

But that's not all. The iPhone has also an unmatched build quality imo. I've never seen a phone so damn solid before in my life. And yes, I also tried the Galaxy S4 and S5. The only phone that comes close imho is the HTC One M8, but it isn't really there. But it not only feels really nice in your hand, it's also way more practical. I had to clean my Xperia Z two times a week with a glasses wipe or else the screen not only looked like shit, the touchscreen also wasn't all that responsive anymore. That really got on my nerves. No such problems with my iPhone 5S. I have it for two monhts, never cleaned it and it looks like I just took it out of the packaging. I don't know what kind of magic is used for that, but I absolutely love it. 

Last but not least, the app store ist just better than Google Play. Sure, everything comes to Android sooner or later, but why wait for the good apps when you can get them earlier and in a better version? No fragmentation on iOS, apps almost always run just the way they should.

All that made me get an iPhone 5S instead of a new Xperia, Galaxy or some other Android phone. I never was a great fan of apple and yes, the phones are really overpriced. So if money is an issue, I wouldn't recommend it. But it's just that everything on the iPhone fits so well while on Android many features feel tacked on, they just don's always work like they should.

But yeah, I guess in the end it's also kind of a personal thing. I'll stay with Windows for my PC, I'll stay with Xperia for tablets. I don't think Apple is the second coming of christ. But when it comes to smartphones, I'll stick to the iPhone until something fundamental changes for Android. The system just needs to become way faster, it's not even close to iOS.
