“You can’t have an ad campaign mocking people waiting in line for the iPhone and then wish you had the same lines,” Shara Tibken reports for CNET. “Or can you?”
“Apparently Samsung thinks it can,” Tibken reports. “Along with the hundreds of consumers, reporters, and app promoters converging Friday on Apple’s flagship store on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue for the iPhone 5S/5C launch were employees from the Korean giant.”
Tibken reports, “Samsung kept its presence pretty clandestine. It didn’t hand out fliers or post advertising or display anything identifying itself as Samsung. It didn’t even talk to anyone in line. Rather, a Korean video and photography crew documented the scene and interviewed reporters to figure out why Apple has such a rabid following… ‘Other companies release new phones, but there’s not as much passion and heat [from buyers],’ a Korea-based producer from Samsung Broadcasting Center/Cheil Worldwide, who asked not to be named, told CNET at the iPhone launch. ‘It’s only Apple. Why? We’re curious.'”

MacDailyNews Take: Here, Samsung, we’ll help you out. It’s exceedingly simple:
Apple exists to delight their customers.
Samsung Electronics exists to poorly rip-off Apple and hoodwink the left-over suckers with cheap, cobbled-together crap.
Have fun trying to fake Touch ID and a 64-bit operating system. Maybe you can make a phone with an 18-inch display instead to try to hide how much you suck.
Because Apple is a company with history, a heart, a soul. They haloed to start what Goosung is riding on today… Are they stupid or how can they not understand this?
That’s kind of a no brainer, some clarification.
Samsung = hardware manufacturer that runs alien (google android) software on its hardware. These rarely get os software updates because of that, which will leave the hardware in the dust sooner than a machine that gets its software updates in a timely manner.
Nexus series = google’s choice of hardware from alien hardware manufacturer that runs stock google android without any manufacturer add ons and hence gets updates like apple’s own iOS.
Apple = manufacturer that creates its own software (iOS, Mac OS) to run on its own hardware (idevices, desktop & laptop machines). Apple uses 0% of operating system software from another company.
Apple has been doing this since the beginning, so they have some 30 years of experience in producing their own computers that run their very own operating system. I personally don’t know too many hardware manufacturers that carefully craft a smooth os on their own. Sure there’s a load of old school phones and devices that run their own os but most of them are quite primitive and near obsolete.
