Yes, because faster networking is purely the innovation of *Samsung*.

Haha, you fanboys are too funny. Everything is invented by Samsung!! :-D

Are you sure they NEED to catch up, "Flint"?

"Sales of Samsung's flagship Galaxy S4 are falling short of initial
estimates as much as 30 percent, causing an implosion of $20 billion of
the firm's market value as analysts reconsider their formerly rosy
expectations. "

In the meantime, Apple is revamping it ancient iOS with pretty colors
and flat app icons.
Not to mention creating an abomination of a Mac Pro after they
deliberatly abandoned Pros and Power users for years.

You're a tad slow on the draw there, partner - from my linked
*Reuters* article:

"Samsung's shares have lost almost $20 billion since June 7 after
analysts cut forecasts for Galaxy S4 sales by as much as 30 percent on
industry data that showed the high-end smartphone market was getting
saturated."

But here's the part you (and your biased source) conveniently failed
to mention:

"The same problem is hitting sales of the iPhone 5, made by Samsung
rival Apple Inc."

Try something a tad more objective/complete than AppleInsider next
time, fanboy...

You got to feel sorry for them, though.
It always seems that their little world come crumbling down every time
something negative about Apple emerges.

It's pitiful. They're more or less like those poor lost souls that line
up to get the latest iteration of Apple new iGadget. It's pathetic, really.

"by Eric Mack March 7, 2012

...

It's a bit telling that your best chance at buying a Nokia phone
actually made in Finland is the N9, which runs the discontinued MeeGo
OS. Most of the N9s were made in Scandinavia, and the company also has
manufacturing facilities in Hungary and Mexico, but not for long. Last
month, Nokia announced it was moving all its device assembly operations
to Asia (read China), a transition that's already been in the works for
a while."

Apple reportedly paid about 2.5% of the US corporate income taxes last year.

Your claim about them hardly paying taxes is complete rubbish.

1. There are a few animation glitches on my 4S but hopefully this will be cleared up by the time its released

2. The interface shows better but as far as usability, the biggest thing is the expanded control center.

3. I haven't played with the new API's at all. These days, all of my work is with HTML 5 apps.

You have actually brought up an interesting question here Flint without
even realising it.

First the headline, SAMSUNG TO LAUNCH A NEW S-IV THATS TWICE AS FAST

Notice the word TO is not HAS. (believe it when you see it)

Only to be sold in Korea? Not groundbreaking enough to be sold
worldwide from day one?


Now the question you posed without knowing it.

Does Apple to need to hurry up and duplicate that technology because
Samsung has?


Short answer: NO

Apple look at what can be done with a phone, what is being done with a
phone and then work out what to put in it.

They are still using dual core chips while Samsung are messing with 8 core.

Did the 8 core chips change the phone landscape? NO

Here is an example of effective use of dual core chips.


http://www.cultofmac.com/191118/iphone-5-may-not-have-a-quad-core-cpu-but-its-one-of-the-fastest-smartphones-money-can-buy/

When

Apple have a reason to move up the core count they will do it but my
guess is only when they have exhausted the dual core capabilities.

Don't suffer from the same myopia as KDT, Gary. :) LTE capability is
increasing as more networks supporting it come online. There's
nothing wrong with trying to get a leg up on newer technology. Apple
has a history of doing it themselves since killing floppy drives and
legacy ports to embrace USB and later on, Thunderbolt, no? seems to
me, Apple is making a concerted effort to kill optical drives too, no?

How does one 'pose' a question without knowing it? What seems to be
a question (to your mind) is an already settled one (to my mind),
hence iu is pointless to raise.

I really don't care to get into the "dual corse vs octo-core" thing.
Both approaches have their respective merits and disadvantages.
Besides, Apple's core approach is more of an optimization of the
memory bus interface over core counts. Samsung's approach is mixing
cores optimized for certain tasks. 6 of one, half dozen of the other.
Eventually, both will likely end up using a hybrid of both techniques.

It's not just about core counts, Gary.
