How Apple’s iPhone Overtook Samsung As The Top Smartphone In The World
Apple’s iPhone was first announced by Steve Jobs in January 2007. Today, research shows that the company has over 1.5 billion active users and controls 53 percent of the market share in the United States. The 2008 launch of the App Store was a pivotal turning moment for the company and now Apple has surpassed Samsung as the world’s leader of smartphones for the first time.

How Apple’s iPhone Overtook Samsung As The Top Smartphone In The World
This had almost nothing to do with how Apple overtook Samsung. It’s just a general history of iPhone.
Exactly.They just wasted everyone's time.
IPhone is too expensive for ordinary users. Unless you are into gaming or graphic design, any android is all you need
@@lifesabeach5405 apple is not a phone its a Gucci product to show off to other Gucci owners to virtue signal their ability not to think critically.
Thanks for saving me the time. Apple's market share is not close to Android globally. Don't own one, don't intend to when my Android does pretty much the same thing.
They do this every video
Just as Samsung released its S24 lineup that's getting RAVE reviews, I have to admit that Apple knows how to fight a marketing war.
XD real, i love my Samsung but you gatta admit that apple has stupidly amazing software that for some crazy reason Samsung cant really compete with.
@@DemetruisMillerYeah I agree, I know an Android Fanboy will reply to your comment saying something trashy about Apple’s iOS like lack of customization but you gotta admit Apple is doing something.
Apple don't convince me... take worst chinese smartphone and apple is inferior...
But your bubbles are green though
@@DemetruisMiller I'd say that androids have far better software
Every person suggesting you are poor, or dont want to speak to you since you have a Samsung tells you something about their moral compass.
Onlye in the US I guess
Same with android users calling iPhone users brain dead. Fanboying over a simple phone is just stupid.
@@fuerte-af Happens even in Korea. Look it up.
yet android fanboys do the same bs.

modern smartphones truly deserve the term "Personal Digital Assistant", PDA.
@@droiddevx03And? Times have changed. Phones have taken over by storm.
More like Personal Computer. Because many people do their work via smartphone only.
Calling the devices we carry phones is like calling a cruse ship a boat. Technically true but it's also so, so much more. Our society has molded itself around these tiny wireless computers we all carry to the point you can do almost anything with one.
Incredible productivity device and one that helps you to be easy connected with loved ones and friends. You can use it like this but most people most of the time ain‘t. We created a monster.
I still have a working Palm and a working HTC Qtek 9000 (basically a tiny laptop/PDA/smartphone). brilliant devices to be honest and even more customizable with a modified Windows 6.0 installation the "modern" HTC device, but the original Windows Mobile 5.0 was already great and i even made Wolfenstein 3D to run on it like 20 years ago. There was also a lot free, from private persons handmade games to install, snake replicas, even super mario replica games or space shooters etc. People really tend to forget how amazing PDAs were. They were just complex and "inconvenient"... people rather had a Nokia phone, a Sony Ericsson Walkman phone or so because they were limited, but SIMPLE and small. Thats why i prefer iPhones, they are simple and i dont want a phone i have to care more about phone (costumizations, settings, safety,problem solving, etc.) than using it for the tasks i have it. I want a simple phone with usable and "tested"/"apple approved" apps, no risk of installing maleware or just a bad optimized app for the given device.
If I ever had a question on what entities control media content... this gets released 1 week after S24, which is getting some of the highest praise across the board of any smartphone/AI phone in history.
It's a pretty well known fact in the review industry that reviewers are afraid of giving Apple products criticism in fear of not receiving any more review units
@@vivek_vAnd for creators that could afford it anyways don't want to have bad ties with the tech giant so they might not speak their mind about things they dislike.

What's really impressive about this is that Apple currently sells 5 iPhone models (15 pro, 15, 14, 13 and SE). Meanwhile Samsung has over 20 different smartphones.
Took me a while too to realize that the best selling samsung galaxy phones aren’t even the s series., the top 10 best selling phones of all time are a landslide of Apple and Nokia

fascinating that even when you spent so much money so recently on samsung, you happily watch a 12 minute video about Apple Phones instead and engage the algorithm on the video too
The key is the ecosystem. Apple has built such a strong ecosystem around its products that nothing comes close. Their devices work seamlessly together.
I agree, effortlessly.
Then seems like you haven't used anything or tried any other ecosystem than apple.
@@aksshaysharma96 I’ve used Samsungs in the past but the experience has been no where near seamless. It’s defo got better but not up to Apple’s standard yet.
@@AM_9924fact
Yea in the past bro rn its great i use a galxy watch 4 and earbuds 2 and s24 ultra it works seamless no problem😂
If the final takeaway is that personal AI assistants is the next mobile device battleground, then Apple needs to get to work, because Google Assistant is lightyears ahead of Siri.
They’re working on something. That’s the only way they’ve let Siri be so crap for so long. Apples never the first.. it’s the best
They have their own LLM and LAM that have been in development for years. iOS 18 is rumoured to be the release when they finally unveil their AI strategy. Theoretically iOS is the best suited OS in the world for AI because of the way that their accessibility APIs work. The system can read every app in intricate detail so that LAMs can take full advantage.
Microsoft is light years ahead of Google with OpenAI.
I have never heard Apple talk about AI. In their dictionary, it's not AI. They call it machine learning, intelligent assistant and so on. Actually it already runs in thr background in iOS 17.
Doesn't apple call it 'magic'?
You totally forgot the Huawei ban
Yes, without huawei ban, this would be a different story :-)
It doesn't matter, apple only sells 3 different models every year while Huawei was selling like 20 different models worldwide before the ban and the gap wasn't even that big. go check the sales when Huawei was selling more, Apple it's just a way better company.
@@co88liwan31they were never going to surpass apple in the USA. I don’t know why people keep suggesting that because from a statistical perspective, their sales were not touching iPhone sales in the United States and their YOY growth did not place them in a position to overtake apple

Nonsense. Whats the biggest change in S20-S24 Samsung phones, tell me! Oh wait i know it.... With the S23 U they finally fixed performance issues which people annoyed for 3 years, and with the S24U they finally got rid of the unreasonable 10x camera module in favor of a more reasonable 5x with high MP sensor instead. Innovation and changes or just fixing well known issues over 4 years? When i compare the development of lets say iPhone X etc to iPhone 15 lineup and Samsungs S20-S24 changes, improvements etc, i have to say Apple improved a well known and working/liked design and features, meanwhile, as said above.... Samsung just fixed issues they might intentionally created.

It’s crazy to me that other device makers didn’t understand the significance of the App Store. I was doing retail mobile sales in 2008 and was telling all my customers that the upcoming App Store was going to change mobiles forever. If I saw that coming then how didn’t the people running these billion dollar corporations see it?
Because they were stupid. At least when it comes to tech.
The fact is the people running these billion dollar corporations are not smarter than the rest of the populace as we are made to believe. Some of them have huge egos because think they went to the Ivies or whichever assumed 'good' schools and are stuck in their pride. Recently, FTX managed to swindle some of the people running these billion dollar corporations.
Oh they saw it, they just didn’t have the technology, platform and ecosystem to do it
@@miguelespinozacid Yeah, Ballmer for example did it because he had a stake at BlackBerry and MSFT cooperation.

Apple’s revenue is 2 times higher than Samsung. Apple’s profit, or net income is 3 times higher than Samsung. And Apple is a $3 Trillion dollar company, by far the biggest in the world and it’s worth nearly 10 times more than Samsung which is only a 350 Billion dollar company Apple’s profit margins on their products are much higher than Samsung’s. But keep crying about Apple’s success 😂
Still Apple relies on Samsung. Is it really worth $3 trillion? Is Tesla worth over $1 trillion? These are all market evaluations, not the true worth of a company. I would argue no company in the world is as diversified as Samsung with its divisions not only in smartphones but militarily weapons, advanced flat screens, ship building, medical devices, entertainment, construction, advanced chip and memory manufacturing, insurance, etc. Apple has all its eggs in one basket which is risky. But from a business standpoint, Samsung is a more stable, better company.
And Apple saves on not having to operate a factory or gather resources. They save money by having it manufactured on someone else’s time and dime. That’s the magic of outsourcing.
@tylerclayton6081 Samsung one of Largest Semiconductor Companies in the World unlike Apple
At this point, it's all about personal preference. Some like Apple's simplicity and don't need a bunch of customization, others want it. The main *** vs *** argument between the 2 is about the camera. My friends that have all had iPhones think my S23 Ultra's camera is the best, but I personally think that Apple has better contrast. But when you consider that we now live in the social media era and that every social media app has a filter/editing feature, it really doesn't matter. TBH, I'm more annoyed with Samsung users who keep complaining about removable storage: they don't realize that having internal storage allows faster processing for pics and vids which allows better quality. Anyone who complains they need more than 512 GB of storage means that they're trying to put movies and 👉👌 on their phones. Keep in mind one thing though, this news doesn't shake Samsung in the least; when you open an iPhone, a good number of the components are Samsung lol. That's right, Samsung makes money from every iPhone. In fact, Apple is Samsung's biggest customer ($Billions) just from component sales.
This comment is more informative than the actual premise of the video. I do want to add that removable storage absolutely does not affect picture quality as it is all done in real-time in the phone's memory, not storage. While it's slow, it's still better than not having any expandable storage. Transferring files by removing the SD card is also a lot more convenient (for me) than using a USB cable since there is no chance of the cable accidentally being unplugged.
Of course phones need more storage to store👉👌 😂😂😂
what you are conviniently forgetting is that you can get sd card for 20% of the price you pay apple to have bigger memory in iphone. And when phones are already as expensive as they are today that is a big problem
Nah. As an IT technician, I can assure that Apple is way more of a headache than Android.
I am one of those people who live in the "apple ecosystem" the trinity of phone, watch and headphones. I love how they all work together seamlessly. I am also one of those who stay 1-2 iPhone generations behind in order to keep things in budget. At this time I am using a iPhone 12, Apple Watch 7 and Air pod's Pro. Usually Verizon will offer pretty incredible deals if you pick a phone 1-2 generations behind, the iPhone 12 only cost me 8$ a month and the watch was like 12$ a month. They sneak in those fees but still a great deal.

100% True

nobody is innovating. smartphones are basically as good as they are going to be, and most users simply don't need more
Samsung needs to innovate too, the Ultra design is also an old and boring design, I find the S24 and S24+ more appealing than the Ultra, that thing is a brick.

Mate. Apple are an American company. Why wouldn’t an American news channel cover their success?
This doesn't amaze me, the thing that really amazes me is that Apple only sells 3 different models, while Samsung sells like 20 different models and Apple still sells more, this is just astonishing!!
20 different models of what exactly Isn't all smartphones? Or you notts fallen ? People uses iPhone for their status and show off ,in real sense nothing more , just show off the triple big camera lenses and the apple logo 😅😅

Samsung forgot that a bulk of their customers chose Samsung as an ALTERNATIVE to iPhones. When they started copying the stupid things Apple did, why not just get an iPhone. 1. Removing headphone jacks to boost headphone sales 2. Taking away removable batteries to force you to replace your phone quicker 3. Eliminating removable storage to force upgrades and upsell cloud storage If you want to get screwed and ripped off, why not get screwed by the best? 🤣
OS differences and purpose. Some prefer iOS some prefer android for other purpose. There are things android can do iphone cant, since android is linux based.....you are reaching my friend.
Microsoft has started doing the same thing with Windows 11
is everything
Apple copied a lot too, so why not get the other phones that Apple copied from? Logic...
Because the cheapest iphone costs 10-times the amount I paid for my Samsung?

It's funny how in all theses stories the left out that samsung and LG are the key suppliers of hardware for apple. It's not really a competition when samsung use to make more money from the screens on iphones than from its own products
That’s like saying the company that makes the plastic bottles for water has no competition. It’s a different division they manufacture parts for lots of companies same as how Sony provides most camera sensors to phones including Samsung
Also Samsung has a vast amount of suppliers as well…
They can’t even make a proper chip their Samsung exynos chips were hot garbage
that really has no relevance in the conversation though. it really doesn't say anything about how good or popular samsung phones are. just a silly arguement
@@RossMKF1 What do you mean by "can't even?" Chipset manufacturing is difficult , nobody can compete with TSMC. Not Intel, Samsung, GlobalFoundries you name it. You can say that Exynos is garbage, but "can't even" implies that it's easy.
Phones are status systems for some, they use iPhone , Mac. For those who use PC, Samsung or similar phone fine. Many use what they need, do not bother about what others' think
I dont buy iPhones because it’s Apple or for status. I buy an iPhone because it just works and being a closed system helps with that immensely.

My $60 Galaxy AO3s works every time, too. Did I mention that it cost $60, not $800?
The only "closed" thing is your mind when you think that iPhones are somehow the only phone that can function
Literally just a US thing. Out of the USA samsung sells 3 times more phones than Apple.
Of course a superior Korean company sells better in homogeneous countries rather than an inferior company (with an ugly irrelevant name and logo) in colonies. Apple's iPhone also seem to be the favorite choice of people with origins from the third world. XD
Not the Samsung ad i had to watch for this video
Its not even just the economical factor, its the psychological factor, even in America people poor shame others for having a different coloured text bubble that's how far Apple has taken it.
The only people who do that are kids and teenagers. Adults, the ones who are actually buying the phones, don’t “poor shame” other people for not having iPhones. Especially when all these phones literally cost the same price.
@@DavidKen878 those kids and teens are literally what most companies are fighting for, they don't fight over adults because they did it when they were kids or teens

For now. But Apple has been developing their own screen tech for some years now and all things point to Apple using an inhouse developed screen for the iPhone 16.
Uhm how?
many iphones are out there with zero samsung parts. samsung display is an entirely different company, and isn't involved with designing samsung phones at all
Who cares. Man, you fanboys are just weird. I assume you’re a Samsung shareholder?
Because Samsung copied Apple, to put it bluntly, they stole from Apple.
Its not about being "better". Its about "People's choice". Generally, People find it lot easier to use and master the art of androids, the perks and advantages of it, not present in the world of iOS. And Samsung is the best Android phone brand. So what's to expect? Most people only buy iPhones just for the sake of status symbolism. Sorry for that, because they can't even maximize the usage of their iPhones. They are just buying it, for the sake of buying it. Here in the Philippines, iPhone 11 is still a bestseller. 💀🇵🇭
CNBC has shares in Apple. They need to disclose this BY LAW. The fact that they don't is literally illegal. Anyone care to join me in filing a complaint to the AG?

Apple has quality products and at the same time had immense brand value
Watching this really does make me feel old. I had the iPod Touch 4th gen in high-school. I remember the launch of the ipad being a huge deal, then steve passed away the following year. Imagine that life, presenting the world with the coolest tech that shaped mobile computing today. The Newton was such an odd device, the concept was "ipad but in the 90s" and it bombed because the people werent ready for it yet and neither was the infrastructure.
Until now, there was one Achilles' heel on the Android's side: short OS upgrade period. Now that Pixel 8 has 7 years of upgrade, which is about the same as that of iPhones, I don't think I would ever need an iPhone. Plus, it has a locked ecosystem and weird software restrictions like not being able to change the default browser or using a different web browser engine (Chrome on iPhone is just Safari with a skin). Security? Well, most of the shenanigans on the Android are because the user agreed to install some random software by ignoring warnings and actively clicking the install button. If they install only famous apps from the Play Store, I don't think the security of Android and iPhones is much different.
As someone who exclusively uses Apple stuff, there is something I find extremely interesting about Samsung users... And I swear I don't mean this to be smug sounding. They feel the continual need to point out iPhone's issues. They usually attempt that, "last bastion of choice" argument by citing customisation or trying to point out Apple's "strict" policies on things, but it's usually moot. I probably cannot encapsulate the quote just right, but a few months ago I read a quote like this and it just clicked with me on how I feel whenever I'm approached by a non-iPhone user ranting their mind off about how much they hate the iPhone. "I know you're fighting a proxy war and don't know it, but I promise you I legit never lose sleep thinking about how much Android users dislike iPhone."
I can't understand anyone buying an iPhone. I have to use the dirt for work and I get so frustrated every time because there's nothing useful or easy about it. I'm glad that there are alternatives and every other manufacturer I've had privately so far has been significantly better. (Samsung, Sony, Huawei, one plus, Pixel)

@@StevenAkinyemi I don’t think my S23 ultra is terrible. It’s definitely better than my previous phone (Oneplus Nord), I just don’t feel the same responsiveness with my galaxy that I feel with my iPad; and mind you, a 2018 model. The sense of beauty in the UI feels unthought-of in galaxy. When I got my galaxy phone I looked at the default icons and felt that they were too bulky, I fiddled around with the settings and still couldn’t get them to look good for my eyes whatsoever; but of course, beauty is subjective.

That's the thing. Apple and Samsung aren't better than each other, They both need each other... One of them needs the other one because that one is a manufacturer and the other is a product retailer... One of them needs the other one as being its primary customer for stuff. it's like the top smartphone isn't an Apple but it's a Samsung because Apple literally uses Samsung stuff but Apple has an ecosystem which forces us to make the occlusion, all of my friends have an Apple and I want to use Facetime so the person buys an iPhone which, they don't want to go because there are features that apple has which they won't share... and when apple do share the competition begins to fall apart and google will take the lead
I’ve switched back and forth from iOS and android a couple of times, and my main computer runs Linux and windows 11 and I love it. But I have to say that iOS definitely has something to its user experience that puts it a notch above the competition. I can’t quite tell what it is. And I don’t feel the same about macOS. I wouldn’t use macOS. It doesn’t “feel” good to me.

No, because no one cares about Samsung 🤣

It has happened before (fingerprint sensors come to mind) that Samsung rushes out new tech, then Apple does it right a little later in the year. I remains to be seen if this also will hold true for AI-stuff, or if Samsung is truly ahead this time.
You just said samsung is undoubtedly ahead of its time😂😂😂
@@sawlty-suite5131he literally didn’t say that. Read again think again and comment again
"a little later in the year" Bhai, it takes YEARS for apple to give you oled screen .
You misspelled "apple COPIES Samsung a little later in the year".
It actually takes years for Apple to make it right after Samsung unveils new features, i have an iPhone right now, have you seen how dumb is the calculator app? The iPad doesnt even have a Calculator app from Apple, we have to download an ad based calc app...
Apple’s reputation and marketing is something that may just forever give them the upper hand compared to Android. Even what I just said, Apple vs *Android.* One company versus a conglomerate of companies. Apple is viewed as a premium/luxury company. They sell good but pricey stuff, and that’s on purpose. Google, Samsung, OnePlus do not have that same “premium brand” reputation because they’re all viewed under the “Android” category. Android has expensive and dirt cheap phones which is exactly what Apple avoids. Another thing that Apple avoids are comparisons. You may see asn occasional quote or two about the processor being the fastest ever in a smartphone, but Apple nowadays compares its old devices with new devices. It works because the consumer doesn’t think about “what phones does Samsung offer?” But more “Wow my iPhone is outdated, I think I need to upgrade it to a new iPhone.” Meanwhile Samsungs recent design language has not only been influenced by Apple, but also trying to market themselves as “We’re like Apple, but better! Also we have so many AI features!” (Which are only free until 2025?). It doesn’t have that same effect on the average consumer.
I just went a consistent back function swipe or button across all apps on iPhone
Me too!
Imagine a day that every device is in one ecosystem regardless of whether it is iOS or Android.
Most underrated comment ive seen 🙏
You do realize innovation comes with competition. If one company or even a multitude of companies worked on just one ecosystem, there would be no reason to innovate and they would have immense influence over peoples lives and even government.
Apple's after sales service is unbeatable. What samsung does when you visit their service center is to find something to reject warranty. At the same time apple employees immediately apologize that their product became defective and service the product. Is top notch customer care which other companies should learn from.
Yeah, that is also the impression i get from my US friends. Here in Europe the apple service is a joke. Just to get them to take on the work is a battle. And then come every excuse to spend 4 months on fixing the issue.
I remember going on the internet on a phone for the first time on someone’s iPhone. It blew my mind and i immediately knew this was the future. Felt the same way with apples new goggles.
It wouldn’t be until 2013 when, after that five-year exclusivity deal with AT&T expired, the iPhone _really_ took off as other mobile providers around the world (including Verizon and Sprint/T-Mobile) finally made it available.
Although iPhone is an excellent smartphone, I find a bit disappointing that Tim Cook may not be visionnary enough to understand how to create an amazing user experience for Apple devices… For example, in terms of user experience Witricity/Airfuel wireless charging looks so much more convenient than Qi wireless charging, and seems to scale well across different type of devices. Another example is multi 10Gbits/s, low latency 60Ghz WiGig (802.11ay) wireless connectivity / docking which would allow to connect wireless to all the I/O (USB-C, Ethernet, HDMI,…) for an iPad, Macbook, iMac,… One more is Tim Cook stubborn refusal to integrate touchscreen in Mac computers : although touch is not convenient everywhere, it is still one more option to interact with the UI that is more convenient in some cases. It is frustrating not to have the option as users are so accustomed to it with iPads and iPhones… And the list of things like this goes on…
You’re behind the curve, Apple has already moved on to the Vision Pro, it’s large and expensive now, but imagine all that tech shrunk down into something the size of sunglasses. Also, touchscreen laptops have been around for a while, they’re still not a popular pick as in consumers don’t use a touchscreen as a deciding factor in getting a laptop.
@@user-sj5ju4jb7t The Apple Watch and Vision Pro are products pushed by Tim Cook, and the Apple Watch is not a groundbreaking success (although leader in its category), neither will be the Vision Pro. When launching the iPad, Steve Jobs clearly explained that for a product to exist, it needs to much be better/easier at a sufficient number of things to have a reason to exist : The Vision Pro is worst at most things, and marginally better maybe to watch videos, and some professional usages. It will be a failure… Tim Cook lacks vision of what people really need to help them in their life. My belief is that there are so much more opportunities in home automation (as prove Amazon Alexa sales volume) : Apple could refine the experience, to make it better and easier, and could sell a small device a big bigger than an iPhone, with different type of sensors (temperature, humidity,…) and an AI assistant, that can be controlled through touch or voice, and that would be installed in each room of a house and be well integrated with iPhone/iPad/Macs,… So much more opportunities there with the right ecosystem (Matter,…)
@@user-sj5ju4jb7t Vision Pro maybe a hardsell for reality headset.....microsoft has been in this space far longer than Apple for corporate solutions. Google has also been developing even before MS in terms of wearable items like google glass etc.....
Apple never sold a phone, the customers sold a lifestyle.
ya go into debt for a product that will be a brick in 3 yrs
@@rhetorical1488 Apple updates the iPhones at least 5 years.
Android maintained its position as the leading mobile operating system worldwide in the fourth quarter of 2023 with a market share of 70.1 percent. Android's closest rival, Apple's iOS, had a market share of 29.2 percent during the same period.
Apple's focus on utility, starting with three devices in one in its 2007 iPhone launch, is its winning edge. It doesn’t have to be known as the having the best of any particular feature, say its camera or keyboard, but having the best overall experience. The App store was pure brilliance as it multiplied the utility of the iPhone many, many times. In fact, come to think of it, I finally gave up my beloved Nokia phone because of the apps that iPhone offered.
when talking about camera iPhone is no way close to other mobile phone manufacturer like, Huawei phone, pixel phone, Xiaomi phone. not even Samsung can boost of matching with this 3 company
Switched to an iPhone 2 years ago. I hate it so much and want to go back to android/Samsung. Only reason I switched is because everyone I talk to has an iPhone and I need imessage. First of all since it's only a single tap to unlock iOS, my phone frequently gets unlocked in my pocket. Second, no option to schedule a text (seriously apple?) and third, so many features are buried behind useless menus. Why do I have to do multiple things to enable the flash always on for the camera?
Exactly
what? are those for real? (sorry for overreacting) i haven't use an ios but I'm planning to switch
You’re just a hater, cope harder
The iPhone is so lackluster though. The UI is beyond frustrating. The same issues I had in 2017 I have present day. They are just a luxury brand and have become a status symbol.
Apple name, limited options, pricing...they're the 'Gucci' of the phone world, and nothing more. At least Samsung makes a variety of phones so that even people that aren't well off and/or in developing nations can afford one well enough.
It was lackluster in 2008 to 2010 when I had the iPhone 3G. But after 7 to 10 years of continuous app development, it now no longer matters which device that you own. Just use my phone for the apps. Mainly youtube, music, and news. Occasionally I play a game. And it's much better than before. Way better.
What would that problem be, or are you just making this up
UI beyond frustrating? I use both Android and iOS and they’re 90% the exact same thing. Each one does certain things a little bit better, but in practical terms they’ve reached parity and offer mostly the same experience. I wouldn’t call either one of them frustrating or either one of them perfect.
@@harrykatsarosI mean your technically right, I have both Samsung and Apple. I just the other day there are too many annoying ui issues with the iPhone. I have to show them in person or video. They're just annoying easy to fix problems in ui that don't have on android.
“The iPod was wildly successful but very much a niche product…” I feel like those are kind of conflicting statements? 🤔
Jobs was opposed to the iPhone because he feared cannibalization of iPod sales. He had to be convinced of its potential. You missed that as a part of the story.
There's a street in San Jose, CA named after Steve Wozniak. It's by the Children's Discovery Museum. The street is called "Wozniak."

How are Samsung owners poor? Ultra and fold phones cost more than iPhones plus. Samsung provides parts for iPhones
Financing.
That’s just two models in the Samsung lineup. Samsung sells more lower tier phones than Galaxy series globally. They’re currently adopting a less sales higher margins strategy.
iSheeps are trying to cope, don't worry those broke boys
they're often on sale and have more entry level phones. If you want a decent iPhone, you're looking at at least 800. If you want a decent samsung you can get one for under 4-500
most samsung phones sold are the cheap A series phones. every single iphone is a premium, luxury device, the vast majority of samsung or android phones are not. that's why that belief is a thing. especially because samsung makes their crappy phones look the same. also even the ultra phones are often on sale and you can get them for much cheaper than an iphone which never goes on sale. again, helps keep their status as a luxury product
I'm American, and although most of my colleagues at work use iPhones, I've always used Android. I do not like Apple, and I will never buy any of their products.
Just wondering if 100 years from now we will still be taking about this. It is so legendary as Steve is.
Samsung fanboys will never understand. It doesnt matter if you make the greatest most advanced technology. You could put a 100 Gigapixel camera on a sumsung and i still wouldnt buy it. Its how it all works together and how intuitive it is to use that technology that matters most.
We do understand we do know how evil America is. All over the world more people are using Android phones they believe its better. Only in America u will see a company begging another for its amazing screens then saying they are better
Apple fanboys support Isis and Terrorists just like the ones in San Bernardino even cheered on Apple for not unlocking the phones
This title and this topic is actually about Apple's inferior OS and products.
Well, great tech company with wonderful devices. I can't imagine going back to Windows, but I would consider using an Android phone as a second phone, but my iPhone stays as my main phone, and it comes from a person that had almost all Samsung flagships and never thought would switch to Apple, well, little did I know... I love Apple now. :)
After huawei banned in android world we barely see any groundbreaking innovations causing iphone to regain the legacy because we all know iphone do is little innovative but rather focus on polishing the existing feature.even myself after decade of android world im currently on 15 pro and enjoying the phone yet i have secondary oneplus phone because i cant get rid of android customization
Lol, Im 36 and never had an iPhone and never wanted. I happy with Androids open ecosystem where I can install whatever I want without need of stores and other bs❤

I'm pretty sure the iPhone sales beating Samsung sales was based on the 2023 calendar year, not quarter sales
I have an IPhone 13 Pro Max iPad 12.9 Pro, MacBook Air, IMAC 27” and Apple TV. The only thing I didn’t care for was the Apple Watch and Air Pods, for that I bought a Samsung Galaxy watch and Senheiser headphones. In my opinion the Apple eco system is leaps ahead of anything else out there.
If that is what Apple wants, they can have it. It doesn't really matter because it is not an apples to apples comparison. Samsung is just one of the manufacturers in the android ecosystem while apple has no competition in its ecosystem. Android users have lots of choice while in the Apple ecosystem there is only one choice.
IPhone got the help from the US government otherwise Huawei would have been the number one in the world right now
I’ve always had an iPhone for all my times having a smartphone, so I gotta admit I’m sticking with it unhinged by the tech competition lol
I´ve been switching between iPhones and Galaxy throughout the years, i gotta tell you if you haven't experienced a modern Samsung phone, you have no idea how capable and advanced smartphones are these days. There´s not even a decent calculator app on the iPhone, or even worse, theres none for the iPad. Apple has been catching up real quick lately, but the iPhone is always 3 years behind the current tech.
First of all. There are a bunch of Android phone makers. Not just Samsung. Sony, Motorola, OnePlus, Google, Nothing, etc..... Apple just has 1 maker, Apple. That's why. Now compare the OS's.
Nokia, Palm, RIM, Microsoft, Motorola, hTC, Sony Ericsson, all great memories.
and LG
Watching this on my 3 years old iphone , my s8 plus stoped working after 2.5 years
😂😂5 month difference ain't bad
My S9 plus is 6 years old and has never frozen or crashed
do you want to use one phone or 30 years or for your life time
My S20 still working pretty fine...no problem with battery either
There were application stores and ways to buy applications directly for non-iPhone phones/mobile devices before Apple created the App Store. The report is correct that "apps" increased the appeal of the iPhone.
Its why microsoft nokia phone died. It had no apps....lol and microsoft came late into the industry. If they were 1 yr earlier and had set up an ecosystem it would be a decent phone.
@@441meatloaf Nokia phones were IIRC based on relatively low power systems made to optimize battery life. iPhones were relatively powerful, based on a modified version of Apple’s desktop OS, making it easier for Mac devs to transition to phone dev.

It’s such a good feeling walking into a clean white Apple store and buying a very expensive iPhone 😌

@@droiddevx03 it is cringe tbh. But it’s reality.
Samsung makes the display on the iPhone so they will be fine
Peak CNBC content lol. People aren't stupid anymore.
Apple is build on the same product that Steve Jobs envisioned long ago, they can improve it, but they are unlikely to create something revolutionary again. I would bet on Meta more, because it's run by the same visionary founder, and so they have higher chances to succeed in the new major technological step. Apple has the brand, organization and very talented people, but the leadership is ordinary.
When has Apple not had the top spot? Or better yet, when has Samsung ever had the top spot in the phone market? Only competition Apple had in regards to phones was with BlackBerry and SideKick, ever since those companies phased out Apple has been # 1 since. Which I’ll say since the iPhone 4/4S release.
I’m proud to be an iPhone user, that’s the best tribute we can do for Steve Jobs

This sounds like apple had to pay the news outlet after the stellar reviews about s24 ultra from every major tech reviewer. The timing seems so off 😂.
Indian poor mindset
iPhones to the general public in my view has always been that default camera phone which people look for when spending hundreds if not a couple of thousands in any currency. But Apple having that competition is still a win for the consumer since they know to expect a great device to last for several years with support from security and software updates
Typical US Citizen
This is expected. But it also speaks volumes for Samsung. The only way to get your hands on an iOS smartphone is the iPhone. But with the hundreds of Android manufacturer options, and Samsung STILL being just under 20% of the entire smartphone market is insane... as I type this on my new S24 Ultra.
This was very informative and interesting. Apple ecosystem is superior today and has been for fifteen generations. I do believe they definitely want to continue to be one of the leaders especially when it comes down to a company being invested in innovation. The statistics were most interesting especially being a lead competitor in the mobile device market. This definitely has me speculating about when the Apple Pro Vision dropped in February.
Apple always has a long-term vision for its products/OS, the way it's made the way they interact with each other. And Apple doesn't have to compete with others since they're the only ones that use their own OS. No manufacturer stands a chance against Apple's ecosystem!
Those "banned" Chinese 'companies' will disagree with you.
Hahaha remember when iphone switched the charging port to type C like 5 years too late? 😂
Well the problem with this title is it didn't. Android has always and will continue to lead the global market in smartphone sales. They are simply more affordable and have vastly more phone options than Apple does. There is a different look and style for so many android devices. Pretty much every single iPhone for years now has looked exactly the same across the board.
