IDC Cellular phone data released for 2nd Quarter 2015. Apple iPhones increase by 34.9%, Samsung down by 2.3%, other Android makers up as much as 48%. Keep in mind that all other makers report all phones as shipped and do not differentiate Smartphones from Feature phones or dumb phones. Apple only sells Smartphones and does not compete in the mid-range Feature or low end dumb phone markets. The numbers are literally not Apples to apples. — PING!

IDC Cellular phone Ping!

Not surprised at all after the way Samsung treated its customers about the the TV sets that wouldn’t turn back on shortly after the warranties went out. That was suspicious and made me wonder if they had chips that were programmed to do that after 2 of mine went out. They wanted $800 to repair one of them. I no longer buy any Samsung products. I used to buy the brand a lot.

All I can figure is Samsung's quality must have gone down... but I've had nothing but GOOD luck with their display gear for over a decade. My handhelds are all Apple, so I can't say anything about Samsung's products in that regard.

Since 2005 every video display I've bought has been a Samsung, and they are all working perfectly to this day -- two 1600x1200 SyncMasters, three 1280x1024 SyncMasters, two 22" 1920x1080 TVs used as monitors on my Mac Mini, and a 46" SmartTV for watching video and NetFlix.

FWIW, back in the CRT days I bought only Sony Trinitrons, and was happy with every one of those.

Maybe I just have good luck...
