As much as I respect the things Apple has accomplished as a company, I sincerely dislike the way they handle business. They technically do work with Samsung right?

The nature of their relationship is like... "frienemies"
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Samsung makes like 10% of their sales to Apple, so its a close relationship otherwise. Although if they grew a pair, now would be a time to "complicate" the relationship because the iPhone 5 would be quite delayed, killing their sales, and some of the fan base who are looking to upgrade soon.

10% wouldn't make a huge deal to Samsung, the best thing they could do now is hit Apple where it hurts the most: cripple their iPhone 5 production without much prior notice by not selling them parts, and we'll see who the ***** is then. I wish one of Apple's supply companies would put them in their place so they can see how dependent they are on other companies even though they keep sueing them. Apple doesn't make anything on their own as far as hardware like Sammy or Moto do, so they wouldn't get very far if others started treating them the way Apple treats others, then they'd figure out how dependent they really are. Someone's knocking on the door, I better go it's probably the Apple police looking for people that don't blindly think they're great, lol.

Problem is they have a contract with Apple, and unless they are willing to break that contract and without a doubt get sued with absolutely no hope of winning, they won't do that.

Seems like Sammy is just flooding the market with everything they can. Must be some sort of corporate strategy to it rather than anything to do with the devs.
Maybe saving ICS for their most expensive devices to try to help them sell more?
I'm sure there is an ICS build for that tablet waiting and ready in the dev dept, just as I'm sure there is a stable, usable ics build for the Skyrocket that they're holding out on in the hopes of selling more Galaxy Nexuses...

Apple is the considered the top brand in the WORLD. There are literally riots to get hands on an iPhone. They just released the new iPad.... People are literally sitting in their homes with a wad of cash waiting for Apples next product to just throw their hundreds or even thousands of dollars at them.
What I'm trying to say is that Apple has achieved superior brand recognition. If you understand the life cycle of an industry then you will understand that Apple isn't going anywhere for a while. They aren't sweating, they basically created the smartphone, apps, and tablet industries. So please don't tell me they aren't innovative.
The truth is that android will never be as popular as iOS. Maybe someday sales will surpass Apple but there isn't one company that is going to be as powerful as Apple when it comes to phones or tablets.

Wrong. Apple didn't invent any of those markets, they only made them appeam to the masses. The reason apple is so successfully is that there market strategy has always been getting regular people to buy tech that otherwise only people on this forum would use.
Brand loyalty and a lack of innovation will only get u so far. People will sooner or later catch on to the fact that the price premium for specs that are always months behind current competitive flagships of other companies.
I honestly believe that yes, people will continue to use iphones, but now that their is a genuine mature competitor, the markrt will change.
Actually sale of android devices have surpassed apple at times and they innovate nothing anymore they lead on a name alone and people to afraid or stuck in their own ways to try something new I pad 3 bigger resolution and better graphics processing that's your third Gen update cool.... please

Not to mention its XDA. All I used to see was douches all over these forums. The guy who said "Hurp durpy shouldn't be here", ok still no need to just talk **** at the guy. First of all its just a phone, their not important whatsoever. Just because we are Android users doesn't mean we go on hating every Iphone user. Their are some that *gasp* are not fanboys of their crappy products.
I'll do it pm me. The gs3 is a little laggy for my taste and the ui is very cluttered and cartoonish. I prefer the smootheness of iOS and perfect synchronization across products. Also this phone feels way too cheap, like its a toy. Screen is really nice though, but then again so is the iPhones but just a little smaller.

That's going to suck if they actually ban our device.
It is not banning "our" device. If it happens, still a long shot, it will not really affect current users. They will not take your phone from you. Carriers will just have to stop selling, which probably still means they can deplete their current inventory as they have already been purchased from Samsung.

Look at it like this if they are ban from selling ,then the value if our device will go up due to the fact that u can't buy from the store anymore.
I wasn't meaning it as a problem for people with the device currently, I meant to say that I have a lot of friends my age looking and seeing all the things I do with my phone. They're all saving up to buy them and if they ban the T989 then my friends won't be able to purchase via stores.
Sammy's guys are much more smart than apple developers, we will be resting while Sammy is creating the champion phones they always have. Apple complaint about similarities. Sammy is not going to make similar phones to apple smartphone in theory. But if apple revolutionizes everything to be more convenient then Samsung must use power instead of convenience. If apple is commercial, Samsung must be the people's phone, easy enough? If apple make fast phones Samsung should be elegant or if apple makes the stable phone then same should make the surprising phone. If apple wants all the money then Samsung should have more interest in phones and their appearance for the better of the lawsuits and a efficient resolution to forward production in the next line of phones.

Yea who cares about those dirty employees. They make a mistake and they should be punished by losing money out of their paycheck. They're definitely not real people and definitely out to help you 100 percent of the time. That's what kills me. So many people talk about calling into Verizon and "raising hell" abusing the employees. I guarantee half the people here have never worked a customer service job and seen how stressful it is to be yelled out or make a mistake. Maybe instead of exploiting that mistake you should just wait for them to fix it. The worst part about working for verizon or any other company like it is that you make a mistake it comes right out of your pocket. You use that credit and you take money from someone else for making an honest mistake. I'm glad to know that there's people just ready and waiting to exploit verizon and by extension the employees. And the reason they are so ready to do this is because Verizon owes them something. Entitled ignorant customers, contrary to what that employee who's gonna lose 615 dollars is gonna be forced to say, I thank you for being the worst part of verizon.

I know I saw an article about this and I don't know it anyone else has recently but it discussed the possibilities of manufacturers letting customers build their own device kind of how computer manufacturers do now.
I think this would be a really cool idea. I would love to just build a phone the way I want it but of course I would just throw together a phone with all the best specs
Realistically I doubt this would ever happen. It would take away control from carrier's and also manufacturers. They love having customers in the palm of their hands begging for a new device just 2-3 months after paying full retail for the one they currently own.
Just imagine how much that would change the cell phone industry?

I agree, I've built every computer I've used for the last 15 years. I just like the aesthetic quality of Alienware's products and thought it would be nifty if they would put those design aspects towards a phone chassis and UI.

I think that would make developing ROMs and kernels for phones nearly impossible with there being such a huge variety in hardware. It would be really cool for sure, but I believe development would pretty much die.

I imagine there would be some some similarity due to the standards that would have to be put in place based on mobo size, case size, how everything fits together.... I'd still totally do it. Ive already heavily enjoyed building computers. Would give a nice sense of control over a device that can so easily erode privacy.
