Actually, we were talking about other manufacturers being jealous of Apples profits. I’m thinking that Samsung’s CEO isn’t going to be looking to trade places with Jobs anytime soon.
And don’t be jealous that Samsung is a much broader company and can do more than just make iProducts. LOL
Speaking of phones though, Apple currently has no answer to the Galaxy S II. None. That phone can run circles around the IP4.
I don't think Apple is too worried.
Samsung announced last week they had sold one million through to carriers—but not sold to consumers—in the first month it was on the market. Meanwhile, Apple sold 1.7 million white iPhone 4s to consumers in the first three days it was on the market!
Considering performance, Samsung's Board of Directors might want to fire him and replace him with Steve Jobs... Looking at the results, Steve does a much better job based on the financials of the two firms:
Samsung Electronics
Revenue US$ 143.125 billion (2010)[3]
Net income US$ 15.425 billion (2010)[4]
Profit US$ 12.683 billion (2010)
Total assets US$ 101.64 billion (2009)
Market Cap. US$119.7 billion
Apple Inc.
Revenue US$ 65.23 billion (FY 2010)[2]
Net income US$ 18.39 billion (FY 2010)[2]
Profit US$ 14.013 billion (FY 2010)[2]
Total assets US$ 75.18 billion (FY 2010)[2]
Market Cap. US$307 billion
Of course it's faster. The Samsung is only a few months old, while the iPhone 4 is just short of a year old. At various times some high-end phones will be faster than others due to the staggering of release cycles. Expect the iPhone 5's CPU to maybe be a touch slower (likely lower clock, but likely more memory bandwidth), but the GPU will be much more powerful than the Samsung's. And then the Nvidia Kal-El based phones will come out by early next year, leapfrogging Apple. And so on, and so on.
