Correct Old Ironmaker, Apple iOS (the operating system) is only for the products they have. Android is OPEN via Google and others.
Samsung still makes ALL the Apple products to this day hence the legal battles the 2 have going on over who made what 1st. Samsung is the #1 producer of high end LCD/LED/Plasma glass and sell the products that don't turn out perfect to all the others like Dell, Lenovo, HP, Asus, Acer and more... They are also the biggest producer of the semiconductors (RAM/Memory) and housings (case of said tablet and or phone) in the world. I NO LONGER WORK for them but when it comes to a TV, a smartphone or tablet I will gladly pay and extra few bucks to get a Samsung (for my own reasons like I just said). Like the best glass aka screen, solid case and more. Notice the new iPhone 6 has problems bending yet the new Samsung Note 4 doesn't? Someone cheaped out... All the tier 2 brands are what they are, live long enough to cover the warranty and then who cares... Me I would rather spend $300 for a tablet to last 3 or more years than $99 a year, year after year after year and worry about the true quality and support. Just my peso since cents are long gone...
