Not too sure about curved screens on smartphones... Still, nice to know that Apple isn't the global smartphone leader anymore. Some faith in the human race has been restored.

Ha-ha Apple took a patent for the curved iphone shell earlier this year. I think the difference that your trying to point out is that Samsung are "stealing" ideas faster, has a faster production line and possibly less quality standards in order to be able to release new products as fast as possible. Im not sure faster is better. Maybe it will only be junk, same as their newly released copy of the Iwatch (also from apple). Samsung should learn from Apple and take the time needed to get the product just right for their customers, not just for the sake of beating Apple in terms of release date. Never a Samsung phone again.

@Sentiments, actually, I was referring to how the article said that Apple is no longer the global smartphone market leader, nothing to do with "stealing" or producing things faster. But, now that you brought it up, Apple has hardly been an innovator, let alone a company to learn anything from (unless you're interested in suing your competitors as a desperate tactic to keep your market share from dwindling). Patents, despite what Apple tells you, aren't everything. As for build quality and getting the product just right for their customers, I hardly see how Samsung (or HTC, or even Nokia) have really failed in that department as much as Apple has lately. Hell, they even admitted that the 5C is just the 5 in a plastic case. Whoop-dee-do. And it took them a whole year to churn out that product. At least, other manufacturers (not just Samsung) actually come out with significantly improved products with actually innovative technology / functionality (not just novelty 10 year old fingerprint tech) in that amount of time. Also, it is Apple that follows a yearly release date that they struggle to stick to, not Samsung.
