Where did I say I didn't like android? My debate isn't with iOS vs android. It's that some people think the s6 being a great device means Apple isn't competing. Other than feelings there's nothing concrete to support that.
I read posters saying apples brand is in jeopardy or that Apple needs to compete more. But there's nothing other than personal feelings. I'm asking for real data, real proof of how Apple is in trouble all a sudden.
My mistake. I may have conflated you with i7guy regarding not liking Android.
No. It's not because the S6 is a great device and therefore Apple isn't competing (what?!). It's because people know Apple's method and pace of updating hardware/software features. It's slow. There's no denying that. In fact, people praise it by calling it "focused" and "meticulously thought out first," etc.
And the fear as Apple fans (<-- APPLE FANS, keywords!) is that this is unfortunate for the end users because Apple's competition, namely Samsung, is doing so much more and doing them faster. Samsung doesn't hold back. They put the most modern technology available into that little package (screen, SoC, RAM, internal memory, great speakers, both wireless charging standards, quick charge, etc.) and inject Android with more-often-than-not amazing additional features, some of which can be found nowhere else (and that's on top of the strengths that stock Android has, too. Ability to set any default apps, etc.). Then you have the novelty of the Edge variant.
Apple does not do this. We know this and in fact some people celebrate it (focused, meticulously thought out, etc.).
So you want the evidence that Apple isn't competing that you so long for? Well, read what I just wrote! Read the posts of people who own both devices and have used them both in tandem. Take heed the posts of people who can truly compare the features, and not just lists describing the features. It's ironic we get knocked as the "feature lists" comparers. We're not looking at lists. It's the ones that don't own the S6 that are looking at lists! We're the ones that are putting both devices and their strengths and weaknesses to practice. Why aren't our words taken more seriously than the ones who don't own the devices? Your cohort i7guy actually laughed at the credibility of people who own both devices in question! How can you take that seriously?
Lastly, where does Apple's sales/profits fall into the above discussion? No where! Just like Android's marketshare doesn't factor into whether or not Android should continue improving where their shortcomings are. Notice not once do I bring up marketshare to prove anything relating to hardware/software features. If you do want to talk about profits/sales, no one in their right mind would argue Apple isn't successful. Again, I myself have said a number of times, Apple is very successful and will likely continue being quite successful. So yes, those who say Apple is doomed, I wouldn't agree with either. But no one is talking about that when discussing hardware/software features.
Are you beginning to understand? I sincerely hope so!

Should Apple compete more? That is opinion.
Okay, here's your chance to answer the question officially.
In your opinion, should Apple compete more?
"more" meaning more than they are doing now.
That was the focal point of the discussion in the other thread. Now's your chance to clear any confusion.
. Except Apple chooses to make it that way. They could license IOS if that wanted to.
