Media has been against apple for awhile now. They have reports of child labor being used in their supply chains. They had the map fiasco. They are loosing their cool factor as they are now mainstream. They are no longer a leader in smart phones (i believe Smasung has surpassed them). Its come time to show that they are still an inovative company that will have new ideas come to fruition. Unless they can anounce something new that does well I see people loosing faith in them as a growth company, and fear they will repeat their original rise and fall with the home pc market.

They have one product that sell better than any other in the market... no way the Galaxy S3 for example sold more than 20 million this quarter.. the iPhone 5 sold over 40 million this quarter.

But if you get the combined number from Samsung then you have they shipping more than Apple...

Anyway all the Samsung number are estimated by IDC: 63 million shipped in Q4 2012

I think iphone will outsell it this quarter, but last quarter it was the S3. I think people just see the writing on the wall that they will be passed by other more inovative phones. Its hard to try different things when they only have 1 model to adjust. They can't keep with advances in tech that way, and they can't try different techniques to see what customers may prefer. They have to rely on one model year after year, so they must play it safe.
