@Musyoki, my point exactly, Motorolla was also more of a lifestyle than a phone. The iphone is just like the hummer range of cars (its hype is more than its tech capability). That's how Americans market. I have been reading market reports on several sources that place samsung market share in most countries including the US higher than that for the iphone.
The ongoing court battles are a clear indication of the fear instilled on the iphone by the samsung. Anyways as i pointed out one needs to be neutral while analysing this information coz its not about who outdoes who based on what your preferences are but what the greater market thinks of both products and why based on their perspective. For a while iphone was the one coming out with all the cool new features, now they are finding themselves playing catchup.

How do you even start comparing android O.S with iOS?? That's just ridiculous!For all the samsung fans, SIZE doesn't matter! The content of the O.S and quality of hardware is the one that matters at the end of the day!

Interesting to note that Samsung Galaxy S4 is slated for March next year with a 5-inch display, what's your take on that? Are phones becoming bigger or they should be getting smaller?
Personally was happy with the 3.5 inch display of the 4S & they reason I will do an iPhone 5 has nothing to do with the screen but just an upgrade

But I am not saying Samsung products are not good, I believe they have some of the best Android devices out there. The truth is just Samsung and Android can't just compete with Apple. Samsung has a lead of devices sold, but Apple has a lead on the profits, in fact like 70% of all smart-phone profits go to Apple. These are the metrics that matter. It is just like how GM sometimes ago had the largest revenue but zero profits. Revenue leads nowhere, profits do. And Samsung is the kind of revenue and units sold.
