To put this another way, looking at ‘smartphone share’ or ‘profit share’ or ‘platform share’ all tell you something about the industry, but all three metrics mislead you if you try to treat them as a way to see who’s ‘winning’, because ‘winning’ means different things for Apple, Samsung or Google. After all, Google may well still make more money from searches on iOS than it does from searches on Android.

Samsung is presenting the Galaxy S4. Samsung kind of forget to mention this in an Android device. The number of software features (add-ons if you prefer, or gimmicks I prefer) is impressive. Nobody really care about most of the new features except all the geeks on earth. The others? They prefer products with a sense of balance between feature set, usefulness and really great device.

Apple, Stay Focused, Don’t Get Distracted

When I read news about Phil Schiller bashing on Android and indireclty Samsung products, I just hope this is not the start of losing focus at Apple. I think this is not a good idea to bash at others in order to send your message that your products or your things are better. Politicians do this all the time and I hate this.

Microsoft lost focused in the 90s for this reason. They made a lot of products just in respond to others taking lead in emerging markets. One prime example of that is Internet Explorer. They went after Netscape. When Netscape died, they went after AOL. Microsoft lost it eventually when the mobile industry picked and started to replace PCs.

I wish Apple keep their focus at doing great products that shows a perfect union of hardware and software tightly integrated. Don’t chase Android or Samsung. Follow your own destiny. Keep looking ahead.
