MacDailyNews Take: It’s always nice to see Apple attempting to work the PR angle and correct some of the mountain of disinformation being that’s disseminated, however rare it might be.
MDN are you kidding?…we need to watch two infantile Bloomberg dds report what Phil said and why, instead of the real thing or at least a real report or transcript?
Emily chang shoult blow her nose before she goes live, how stuck up can one be!!
Even in this segment it seems like Apple has lost the mic. It doesn’t matter what sales are doing, or what the financials say, Samsung has the “buzz”.
Eventually it’s possible that the “buzz” could become reality. Joe public sees the billions of dollars of Samsung ads, and hears all of this fabulous Samsung earned media, and one day decides to buy a Samsung.
Thank goodness Apple sells an iPhone ecosystem, not an iPhone product. Thanks goodness we have the apps.
Is there really any solid proof that most consumers want smartphones with 5″ displays? Most Android smartphones’ displays are larger than the iPhone but I still think consumers buy what salespeople push on them or whatever’s available on display. For all we know consumers might purchase a larger smartphone and not be all that happy with it and next time they might go for something smaller.
I think a lot of pundits are jumping to conclusions that haven’t been yet proven. I do think sales of the SGS4 will be very good, but who’s to say that Apple’s next iPhone won’t also be a top-selling smartphone.
At the lumber yard today, one of the guys behind the counter had a Samsung Note II. That thing was a little big for my taste.
Looked like a Gideon’s Bible, only more fragmented.
It seems to be a repeat of the PC vs Mac days. Where the PC produced cheap hardware at rapid succession, including cheap boards. Basically, just get something out the door to be “New”. This time the Media seems to be supporting inferior designs and not focusing on user ability, quality, or how long it will last or even security. This media push strikes me to be more ignorance and unwillingness to due proper research- oh, wait!
Apple has the proverbial golden goose, the secret weapon, the philosopher’s stone, Aladdin’s lamp. The rest seem to have a profound poverty of imagination. This single fact keeps Apple relevant for the foreseeable future. If a fountain of ideas exists in the town square, do not ALL partake of its nourishment? Who would dare to tamper with the operation of such a treasure? Only deranged Korean imperialists and their well-paid Western lackeys, apparently. Oh, yes: also industrial spies. And traitors from within. And stock market whipsaw artists. And character assassins without limit…
Come to think of it, there’s a whole menagerie of opportunists, thieves, saboteurs, nut jobs, and fools that behave in such a craven, antisocial manner. A jolly good species to belong to: King of the Animals, in more ways than one, as Kipling observed.
Samsung has been rubbing the Aladdin’s lamp but discovered that its genie is made of plastic and can only give advice relative to plastic extrusion.
It turns out that it’s a plastic genie made for plastic consumers.
Nice!!! love it! Boycott the plastic crap-o-rama SumDUNG
iBuzz is dead
If Apple is going put a senior executive out there, Apple needs to get his FACE onto the screen and the words/talking points coming DIRECTLY from him/her. Apple does not need some stupid talking head saying his/her interpretation of what Apple is saying. This interview by Phil Schiller was basically useless to Apple!
