"They also only manufacture one new phone per year."

thats the problem with apple, they manufacture one handset thats pricey <depending which country you from> and have no lower end alternatives for people who cannot afford it.

samsung however doesnt flood the market with shit as you put it. instead it offers consumers a wider variety of options depending on their budget. <not everyone can afford the best phone all the time>

Another problem with apple, they release a phone every year with one/two new features. guess they never heard off software upgrades. they could also wait 2 years and release a newer phone with tons of upgrades that actually make the new phone worth it.
il give you an example, iphone 3, a year later iphone 3GS - wtf?!! 3g was in low end nokia phones at the time so dont say 3g was brand new technology at the time. or how about iphone 4, year later iphone 4s- again, wtf?!! it came with the exact same software as a iphone 4 except it had siri, which was ported to the iphone 3gs by developers and worked just as well, so dont say it wasnt possible on other phones.

fact is, apple is good but in my opinion they not the best right now. the galaxy S2 is a beast and with the S3 coming out or even the HTC ONE X - apple is gonna have to pull out more than one/two features to take the crown.
