Samsung Galaxy S III In The Lead

If the iPhone 5 came after the Samsung Galaxy S III and if the Samsung Galaxy S III is better, and features from the Samsung Galaxy S III have been seen in the iPhone 5, has Apple copied Samsung?

This whole tussle did not happen with PCs. Why is it happening with smartphones? I don't believe this is a good outlet for creative energies.

Move Over iPhone, Samsung Galaxy S III Takes First Place

In the five months since its release, the Galaxy S3 has sold 30 million units, including worldwide pre-orders of over nine million, and Samsung, like Apple, has pursued a strategy of releasing it widely through multiple carriers.

The iPhone And The GDP

This is rather curious. Just one little thing, the i is a small letter even at the beginning of a sentence.

Wall Street Journal: IPhone 5 Sales Could Offer Big Boost to GDP

analysts expect Apple to sell about 8 million iPhone 5 units in the final three months of the year. If the phone sells for around $600, with about $200 of it counted as imported components, then $400 per phone would figure into the government’s measure of gross domestic product...... The new iPhone sales could boost GDP by $3.2 billion in the fourth quarter, or $12.8 billion at an annual rate. That is an increase of 0.33 percentage point in the annualized rate of GDP growth. It could be even higher, he says. Even a third of a percentage point would limit the downside risk to J.P. Morgan’s fourth-quarter growth projection of 2%. ..... forecasts for third-quarter GDP growth to 1.5% and the fourth quarter to 1.4%, both down seven-tenths of a percentage point, largely due to the effect of the drought on farm output. ..... The economy grew at a 2% pace in the first quarter of this year, then slowed to 1.7% in the second quarter. In the final three months of last year, the U.S. economy expanded at a 4.1% pace after a sharp slowdown earlier in the year.

Apple's July

I guess Apple is trying to meet demands it has never been able to meet. You have to remember Tim Cook's primary thing is that he is a supply chain guy. That is what he shone for under Jobs.

Apple suppliers see best July on record as they prepare for 'largest launch in history'

the ramp up for a series of new iOS gadgets that will combine for the 'biggest second-half product launches' in the company's history.... the largest electronics product launches of all time. ... "With the iPhone 5 launch and "iPad Mini" on the horizon, along with the potential for an Apple TV in the coming quarters, we believe Apple's stock is prepared for the next major leg up that could propel Apple to our $1,111 price target over the next year" .... also looking forward to the potential addition of China Mobile to the company's carrier lineup during the first half of 2013, "providing plenty of excitement for investors."
