If you don’t agree that Apple doesn’t compete with anyone, then you have to hate Apple. Is that how that works?

No you have shown your ignorants of how Markets works, and especially how the Apple Market works. Apple is in business to sell Apple Products.

I posted examples of how MS “Competes” and how Samsung “Competes”.

How many times has Apple made an announcement and these other companies decide to produce something “just like it”? (It's called Vaporware}. And then they hurry up and rush something out the door just so they can say they sold it first.

I even mentioned how Pepsi accused Coke of being uncompetitive, and the Judges decision to throw it out. Because of TWO different markets. One being the Fountain Drink Market and the other being the Bottled Drink Market.

Apple DOSEN'T compete in the same market as MS or Samsung. MS’s primary Market is the Business market, MS’s primary earning are from MS Office, yes I know that also runs on Mac, but the last version is MacOffice 2011, that is 4 years old.

MS is really a software company, that also sells a few game machine. tablets, and phones.

Samsungs primary market is Electronics. They sell TV’s phone, tablets, washers, dryers and refrigerators.

Apple isn't trying to steal any Windows users away, they aren't trying to steal Android users away. You present them with a better product and let them decide.

As far as the “I'm and Mac and I'm a PC”, Apple was promoting THEIR product and USER Experience. If people compare the 2 products they can decide on their own.

Apple sells complete systems that work together, there's not another company in the world that does that. I have an iPhone, iPad, iPod, AppleTV, Apple Airport, Mac Mini. and a few other Apple items. I don't EVER remember MS or Samsung or ANY other company selling complete system like this. Apple products are designed to work with Apple products, and they do that seamlessly. My iPhone/iPad/iPod are an extension of my Mac, I can sync all my data between all my Apple items without having to jump through hoops.
I can stream Movies from my Mac to my TV using iTunes and my AppleTV, over my Apple Airport.

Apple isn't concerned about what the other guy is doing, they are only concerned with THEY are doing. If Apple REALLY wanted to compete against MS or Samsung, they would build products to match what these other companies are selling. Apple already has gobs of money without having to compete against ANYONE.

They don't have to copy anybody, they build their own product and they let the consumer decide. THAT is why everybody is trying to catch Apple.

Now how hard is that to understand??
