Apple make products beyond pure specs. Its not about RAM processor speed etc but more about overall design.
Samsung have always been about cheap ugly plastic with components that are suppose to be leading but actually are not on everyday useage.
Its like all these people complaining about SD slots. The best thing Samsung have done is to actually use premium materials and to actually put more emphasis on design eg the curve on the edge. Who gives a monkeys about SD slot when the device comes in 128gb.
I prefer android but android will always be the poor mans OS. Samsung will always be a poor mans brand which is why they need to offer more. You cannot overturn a reputation of delivering cheap ugly rubbish overnight. The S6 edge and Note 5 is a step in the right direction tho.
Lets not forget that the S5 is probably the ugliest smartphone ever made amongst the top 6 manufacturers followed by the S4 then the S3. I thought it couldn't get worse than the S3 till the S4 arrived and then the S5.
Yeah that's why you can't multi screen on a 1gb Apple device. Apple doesn't make products beyond pure specs, rather they 1) make whatever the market will bear, ie what consumers will pay for and 2) have to tailor (dumb down) their OS to match the weak hardware specs. That 2nd point is where apple loyalists will jump in and say that they are providing something beyond specs. iOS from day one was an OS designed around hardware limitations, and that glaringly shows today with other mobile OS' out there.
Samsung has indeed been about cheap ugly plastic, I'll add to that I think Samsung hardware is junk. I've had so many hardware issues over the years with Samsung, but with Apple I have very very few hardware issues. Software is also a sore point, touchwiz can run like crap, even on something as insanely specced as the Note 4. iOS runs great on the iPhone, not perfect, but great, with the caveat of things like low RAM and reloading web pages and apps not really multi tasking but being frozen in the background.
About SD cards, I disagree. What happens when you want to record video in 4k and don't have a wireless connection? Lets see how long your 128gb lasts you with the OS, apps and consumables installed.
Android is the poor man's OS because Apple has positioned itself as a luxury brand, and consumers have eaten it up. Although fashion is like that, a shirt that costs 50 cents to make in China sells for a hundred bucks here because of the name on the tag. Samsung is trying to position itself as a luxury brand, but it's too little too late. I'm also not seeing anyone match Apple's hardware, quality, fit and finish, nobody. Add to that Apple's customer service, just thje ability to walk into an APple store and get help versus sending your Samsung phone to Texas and waiting a month before maybe having it fixed is insanely powerful.
