“Samsung will release its S8 smartphone tomorrow, and while we don’t know if the company will make the kind of transparent commitment to product recycling in recognition of Earth day the Apple has made this week, we do know that most Samsung owners just aren’t really that excited about a new phone from the South Korean firm,” Jonny Evans writes for Apple Must.
According to Fluent:
• 30% of iPhone owners say they are ‘very excited’ when Apple announces a new phone, compared to only 18% of Samsung owners when Samsung makes an announcement.
• iPhone owners also tend to be more loyal to their brand, with 89% likely to buy another iPhone next. In comparison, only 58% of Samsung owners say they are likely to purchase another Samsung as their next phone.

How would you know they aren’t happy with the S8 if the customers has not even received it.
Nah, I’m excited about the Google Pixel 2.
Settlers settle. Good enough Android also means long replacement cycles hence no real enthusiasm for newer desperate models. Especially with little SamSplode innovation worth bothering about, unless you LIKE getting burned.
Let me ask you Peter… do you send Apple extra money every once in a while? You know, just for loyalty’s sake?
No in fact most know me here for my scorched apple orchard view of their handling of the Mac Pro. Sometimes I’m just having a bit of “beleaguered” fun. We’re entitled. You too!
Settled…! 😉
Literally and figuratively 🙂
This was suppose to be a reply to peterblood71. We need an edit button. :p
It seems like all these new phones all have different features that would be awesome if they all came together, such as:
AMOLED
Bezel less – true end to end
Wireless charging
Fast charging
True and secure facial recognition
Touch ID (Apple does it right and is the only one so far)
Apple Pay (again Apple does it right and is the only one)
True waterproofing down to 50ft.
I guess this is just too much to wish for in one phone.
I keep reading about how everyone is supposedly upset about rear Touch ID. Assuming it can’t be put on the screen for any number of reasons, where else can you put it?
Why in another Parallel Glass Dimension® silly.
I won’t be so vulgar so as to have you ask Trump, but I can refer you to Botty! 🙂
