Samsung release earnings yet? Are they phones up yoy? As I recall last year Galaxy S sales were down.
They released the iPhone 6/6plus last year. How in the hell were they going to beat that?
bingo
Exactly
+
Sumsung sales are indeed down as well
I usually get the new iPhone every 2 years (4, 5, 6) but this 6 is great and I don't think I need to upgrade this time around. Same with my iPad 2 that I'm still using daily and that came out at least 4 years ago. Their old stuff still works great. Once they optimized iOS to run on everything they got out, everything runs the same for most daily applications (mail, text, browsing):mjshrug1:
All phone sales are starting to slip. There just isn't much to upgrade for anymore. I think the next biggest focus needs to be on battery life...not just a single day, but maybe 2-3 days worth of battery life on a single charge. Yes it is difficult, but pixel pushing doesn't matter anymore.
Anything past 1080P on a small ass screen is pointless.

Exactly. The focus needs to heavily shift to getting the old Nokia brick phone with one snake game 5 day battery life back
Samsung isn't as dependent on Smartphone revenue or overall sales as Apple is however.

I think mobile devices and computers in general have reached a point where upgrading is almost frivolous, especially if you don't game. I have a 2012 Macbook Pro, an iPad Mini 2, and an iPhone 6. For my uses, they are all more than adequate and I can't imagine needing to upgrade based on performance for at least 3 years if not more.
I hope phones become like appliances you can just cop and keep for years. Apple recognizes that services and not hardware are the future for earnings.

I hate to say it I have a MacBook Pro (2014) iPad Air and iPhone 6S+
I legit see no reason to upgrade Apple doesn't/hasn't done anything new honestly I wouldn't of even got this 6s if my wife didn't decide to get an upgrade....But apple is not being innovative no more and even than they were just improving upon stuff that android used to do.

Apple lost its edge, tim cook is an idiot. Where is theit r&d right now? fukk, go buy a start up or something. nikkas ain't got nothing innovative being made since jobs departed, just speaks for that man's genius
