In a recent study by ComScore, it seems that Apple is on a very bad decline. The way things used to be were this:
Apple sold the most devices, Android was the most popular OS.
Now it seems Apple has even lost the title of most cell phones sold. Samsung is now the top dog in the mobile world and Android is STILL the most popular OS. This is not looking good for Apple. Not saying that I want Apple to crumble and fail though, as everyone knows, competition brings innovation and let's all be honest. Without Apple and the iOS, there is NO competition for Android.
Android OS dominates the Market:

Samsung dominates OEM sales:
Apple never sold more total phones than samsung. Apple has the single phone that sells the most, and they still do. Your graphic even shows that Apple is gaining in overall slice of the mobile pie vs Samsung. (Sammy shows a -.1 drop, while Apple shows a +2 gain over the same period of time...) So don't worry, competition is alive and well, until Apple gets a patent for that too. =P
I personally hate Apple so this makes me feel good owning an Android device.

Priceless!

i also think it could be a new xda logo and slogan

Funny ones so far. I like the idea of this being used as an advert. How about...
"Our new A-GPS function means you can always get a signal, no matter where your phone is."
John was beginning to regret asking on 4chan for help with his new phone...

A blog mentioned that iPhone5 prototype was lost in a bar, C.A. Is it true? Anyone have some confirmed sources?
We still remember the iPhone4 prototype was lost by an engineer last year.

business strategies , better learn to identify and ignore them .
RANT: Typicle Apple publicity bull**** wank, so freaking what if their boring bollox iphone went missing.
Another iphone owner probably picked it up mistakenly thinking it was theirs as they all look exactly the freaking same! just like iphone owners they have no individuality and no personality, designed by a company/parents who have their head firmly implanted up the own ass!

nah dont think its true
I'm with Throwaway.... the original story looked more like an ad for the restaurant and go as far as talking about what was on the menu... Personally, I think the iPhone is a great device. I also think some of the higher end Android phones are equally great... it's why I have a mix of both on my TMO account.
Guys, it's IFA time in Berlin, Samsung is owning the show with the beasts of beauty, the Note and the 7.7" tablet and Apple has to stay relevant. So just a little bullsh1t PR and makes the headlines.
They are the masters of PR bullsh1t, what did you expect?

Yup, they are real. I saw a couple of these in a video yesterday I guess this is why it's positive that Siri runs from a server.

Hmmm...if that's indeed the case, it's not the advancement I thought it was. If it's getting its responses from a server, it isn't processing its own responses. Any phone would be able to do that...basically acting as a phone call to a server and the server doing the processing of responses and sending those responses to the phone as a reply.
Yup, and that's why it's not working on the iPhone 4 (yet) since Apple isn't authenticating Siri commands from an iPhone 4.
But the thing that's good with the server is that Apple can add and develope Siri on-the-go without releasing OS updates, and with that develope Siri much faster - and of course insert some highly amusing answers!
But yeah, an Android device could easily do this, but that's not the case here. Siri is a fine piece of software, and Google will have to put a lot of energy into this to match Siri IMO. I don't think it's the response that's impressive (although it's pretty impressive), but the way Siri understands evrything so easily is the most impressive. You don't have to SPEAK CLEARLY AND SLOOOOOW
Apparently Siri used to be available for purchase on the appstore, until apple bought it out and locked it down to the iphail4.
There are many features of IOS5 which independent developers submitted to the appstore but were rejected, only to have their app stolen by apple, in some cases the name is kept and their logo changed slightly.
that was funny
Xaccers: Yeah but Apple buyed them years ago before the iPhone 4 i believe.

Lord help me....
No, it's not for me, I'm being nice, sister wanted on my family plan and she just HAD TO HAVE THE IPHONE. LIKE OMG!
/sigh
I tried to talk her into a $10 Evo Design from Amazon wireless, nah, let's spend money...we're only doing this to save money right?
Can't say I ever foresaw an iPhone entering my phone plan.
I dont blame her. I wouldnt choose an Evo Design over an Iphone either and i have an Epic Touch 4G
I tried Evo D, Evo3D, SGSII, Nex S, and Arrive, all were cheaper. Alwell, just still in shock that I bought what I bought today.
Why not tell her "my plan my choice of phone. Don't like it? get your own plan." Either way she would have stopped nagging and you would not be supporting apple

iphone is not all bad...i had a htc mozart and nw have a op. bl and iphone 4s.
each and every OS platform has something good and unique to offer. we got 2 see the good part of the OS that the manufacturers wanted 2 show us.
It goes like this.
Imagine that you dont know anything about mobile phones and stuff and you see someone walking around you with an iPhone.
Now imagine someone walking around you with HTC Evo..
And to be honest, my head would turn to the guy/girl with an iPhone.. Apple has it
Apple is a style, any other mobile phones have a great platform, great OS and stuff..

“Apple Store In Georgia Refuses To Sell iPad, iPhone To Farsi-Speaking Customer, Citing Company Policy;
A 19-year-old woman in Alpharetta, Ga., claims that her local Apple store refused to sell her anything after she was heard speaking Farsi with her uncle while she was trying to buy an iPhone and iPad....;"

That is ridiculous. As a result of sanctions, we in Iran don't have access to the Google Play Store as well as the Apple App Store. But at least, Google knows it has a huge market in Iran and tries to keep the Iranian customers happy, by officially adding Persian to Android 4.0+, they have an official Persian blog, and still a lot of their services are available to Iranians. But not selling your product to someone who spoke Persian, is just plain redundant and racist.
I hated Apple, but now my hate free deeper. A LOT deeper...
Let me know what you think.
