Not really. I think you're confusing profits and revenues. I'll simplify it for you. Your definition of revenue would be like saying, for example, my salary is a $100,000, therefore I currently have $100,000. When in actuality, at least a third of that has been taken away in taxes, and more still is withheld for…

That's great, but revenue's not the number we were referring to. We're talking about cash-on-hand. Samsung has a fraction of cash at their disposal compared to Apple. Apple's cash hoard is unheard of. Revenue isn't really a measure of success until you factor in your costs. By profit, Samsung would need to sell 3x…

The point in business is to make money. So what's an over-profit? Apple's not obligated to spend their money for the sake of spending it. Samsung also sells phones at the iPhone's price point. The only difference is that, according to the JD Power satisfaction survey published today, iPhone users are…

Apple's a business. The point is to make the most money possible. If anything, Apple's cash reserves are a security in case something does go wrong. Looking at Nokia and RIM's dwindling cash reserves, I bet they wish they'd saved up like Apple.

Did you make that number up? Apple has about $117 B, the majority of which is held overseas. Samsung has about 23.8B. Despite Samsung's unit sales, Samsung's profits are a fraction of Apple's; Samsung sells more units, Apple makes more money.

True. No phone has 4G since LTE is technically 3G, but marketed as 4G. LTE Advanced is true 4G.

Technically no phone has 4G, because LTE is actually 3G. LTE like HSPA+ is marketed as 4G.

At&t is responsible, not Apple as the same iPhone running on other networks don't show 4G.

LTE is 3G, not 4G. Look it up.

If you want to get technical, LTE is 3G, but marketed as 4G. LTE Advanced is real 4G.

If you want to get insulting, keep in mind that LTE is actually 3G, but is marketed as 4G. LTE Advanced is 4G. Apple didn't designate HSPA+ as 4G, At&t did. That's why the Verizon and Sprint phones don't show 4G.

They got sued in Australia, because the LTE on the iPad isn't compatible with Australia's network.

I think that's a tall order. As oblivious as their executives may be, RIM's running on life support right now. Very few company's have the cash to employ Amazon's negligible profit on hardware sales strategy. RIM also doesn't have the services to justify those razor-thin profit margins.

He's a senior stockbroker, and I'm an intern. lol I see his reasoning though. Given their loyal following and immense success in enterprise, you'd expect if any company had the ability to turn things around, it'd be RIM. The high risk could have paid handsomely. I feel like RIM is following in Palm's footsteps,…

I have big hands. Like I can hold my iPad in my hands and type comfortably with my thumbs, in any orientation. I don't feel uncomfortable with the size of the iPhone, because I like the portability of my phone. I wouldn't want to workout carrying a phone bigger than the iPhone, for example. Maybe I'm in the…

Perhaps, but litigation won't negatively affect Apple's sales. Personally, I don't think about who's suing who when I make my purchases. Also, the view that Apple's a patent-troll isn't a universally held belief, as the lawsuit can also be interpreted as a good PR move.

It didn't have a very fluid interface, cost a lot, lacked functionality compared to the iPad, and felt heavy for its diminutive size. Some of these issues have been rectified since its debut. Given the nearly $500 million cost to writeoff the unsold Playbook inventory, the market agreed with me. It was less about the…

I totally agree. This guy decided to finally start pitching Apple once it started hitting $600, but I was the underdog pitching Apple when it was $385.

I personally expected this. My coworker was trying to pitch Apple stock to clients a few months ago, and wanted to mention the impending release of an Apple TV set. He's not the brightest bulb in the tanning bed- he was heavily pitching RIM at the time, while I mocked his Playbook. Like I told him then, if the set…

I'm amazed how commenters can turn any topic about any company into an insult about Apple. It's impressive and entertaining. I'm starting to read articles i wouldn't have just to see what clever hate comments about Apple will be made.
