It is over, Apple is finished.
And to be honest, I'm just sick to death of how every Apple discussion (and on every forum) ends up as a heated flamewar against brainwashed sheeple who value brand loyalty above their own sanity. And I'm not singling Apple customers out; I'm talking about Samsung / Android zealots in Apple threads as well.
It's as if we, the developed world, have nothing better to do with our time than start arguments on the internet about inconsequential bullshit because someone dared criticize our favorite brand.
It's almost as if it was human nature to pick inconsequential things to strongly identify with for the sake of creating arbitrary us-them divides to fight over. (http://lesswrong.com/lw/mg/the_twoparty_swindle/)
They compared estimates (made up numbers remember) but for Apple they used some calculation of net profit, for Samsung they did not. A choice quote
"In other words, in order to report that "Samsung has finally succeeded in becoming the handset industry's largest and most profitable vendor," Strategy Analytics had to compare Samsung's entire PC and device business with only half of Apple's."
So basically anti-Apple propaganda, all lies and lapped up by the fandroids.
Fascinatingly a submission reporting this story has been flagged so it can no longer be upvoted.
