This article stated that Apple has finally found a worthy opponent, Samsung Electronics. The IPhone, the worlds most bought smartphone on the market, Vs the Samsung Galaxy S3, the world 2nd most bought smartphone on the market. At the moment, Samsung and Apple are neck and neck in sales. As it also stated, Samsung could not get any more different than Apple. Samsung not only makes smartphones and tablets, but also makes more of the home necessities that most homeowners need. Including dryers, cameras, vacuum cleaners etc... Apple on the other hand,  dominate the market with only smartphones and tablets. Samsung, defeats its opponent (Apple) in the earning per year, But Apple still leads in the stock market value.

I have never been a big fan of Apple, or any of its products to be honest, so i'm glad too see that it finally has a competitor in the smartphone market. Hopefully, Samsung's Galaxy S3 will surpass the IPhone in sales, that's just my opinion. But, Samsung makes a lot of its revenue on other appliances, not just off their smartphones, so i have to applaud Apple for making its revenue only off its IPhone's and IPad's. But I still think that Apple overpriced their products, and is desperate enough to make a new IPad for what it seems like every 6 months. I think Apple is a great company, but I hope Samsung will surpass them in the future.
