    funny how companies like samsung can release all sorts of phones all the time... no one cares... they have something like 20-30 phones on the market.. most are rehashed plastic shit from years ago. Though god forbid Apple update just one of their phones. It's a big deal guise, seriously.

    • Most Samsung phones are buy one get one free too.monospaced
    • expectation of them is lower.pango
    • I don't think so pangomonospaced
    • Samsung et al don't strive so hard to put on such an overly-considered public persona, so don't go out inviting ire from fan and foe alike.detritus
    • Additionally, much of the comparison is with google and not Samsung as they actually provide the majority of the experience beyond hardware.monospaced
    • People only care about apple because they reinvented the cellular phone and in doing so, many ways the way we interact with technology.monospaced
    • Personally I feel that's not something that happens often in a single lifetime.monospaced
    • They did it once and it won't be easily forgotten. Even I can recognize that nothing they do will ever be that impactful again.monospaced
    • eh? 20-30 phones? can you send me a brochure - I would love to see all these phones... Samsung are a v.different company - bizarre comment.fadein11
    • Samsung has 150 phones right now. 175, actually.nb
    • 238 according to the Samsung website. But what would I know?monospaced
    • http://www.samsung.c…
      Probably much less but it's still a lot.

    • Totally irrelevant - I think the point is an Apple new product used to be something to get excited about - not a smaller screen.fadein11
    • To be clear, besides the very first iPhone and iPad releases what releases are you talking about?monospaced
    • Because beside that and maybe the first iMac or aluminum laptop, everything else for the last 20 years has been screen and spec changes.monospaced
    • perhaps the iPod or the iTunes Store?monospaced
    • duh - the iPod? no????
      iMac?
      Macbook Pro blew the competition out the window.
      What planet are you on?

    • Of course the fucking iPod - they built all their success on that prior to the phone.fadein11
    • Although I actually hated every one I owned lol.fadein11
    • so, you're talking about 5 things in 20 years.... got it.monospaced
    • And zero things in 5 years.fadein11
    • If they didn't talk themselves up so much I wouldn't actually give a shit.fadein11
    • are they talking it up outside the actual keynote speeches, or are you just talking about fanboy and hater chatter? I'm actually not that tuned inmonospaced
    • I despise their sickly marketing that regularly borders on lies which the sheeple happily lap up... look I don't lie in bed thinking about it lolfadein11
    • and as I have said I love a lot of what they do but God their marketing is so much bullshit - like a Jedi mind trick with short depth of field.fadein11
    • hmmm, I never really saw their ads as much more than some sort of lifestyle promotions, but I really don't see them muchmonospaced
    • fade, their own website lists 45 phones... http://www.samsung.c…inteliboy
    • also, apple's keynotes and advertising are full of smug hyperbole... just like every damn other company on the face of the earth.inteliboy
    • Hype sells and make money. only the weak minded gets influenced by jedi mind trick. "this is the phone you were looking for" ?pango
