They mainly deal in mobile phone hardware and software.
Apple deals in Computer Hardware, Software, Consumer Electronics and Media Distribution.
And they have more money than Poland, they can afford to spend a shit load in R&D and still recoup. Profits are up.
I had an Iphone 3GS up until about 2 weeks ago. The speaker had gone on it and the backlight LED lol. I've moved over to a Samsung Galaxy Y as I couldn't afford the Galaxy S, and tbh it probably does exactly the same things, and I find it no different to an Iphone. The only downside to it is when texting you end up pressing the wrong keys a hell of a lot which can be quite annoying and could probably do with a slightly bigger screen.

Super Mod (極度の調整器)
Sony Xperia Play for me... Everything a smartphone does and a Playstation to play with too.
And Apple doesn't actually make anything themselves. All they do is design and stealing patents\ideas of other companies, also accusing everyone else of stealing theirs. (Google it if you don't believe me)
Sooner or later every Apple user realise that he/she paid too much for something what is highly unreliable, poorly made and in case with Iphone have very bad battery life and you can't even replace the battery or have a spare one due to "special" design. That would mean that people will buy other makes.
Have a read about Apple, may be you'll understand why I don't like them

And you can find loads of others if you do a bit of a search.
Regarding the revenue, actually Apple look mean even compared to Samsung for example.
Apple

Operating income US$33.790 billion (2011)[3]
Net income US$25.922 billion (2011)[3]
Total assets US$116.371 billion (2011)[3]
Total equity US$76.615 billion (2011)
Employees 60,400 (2011)
Samsung
Revenue US$ 220.1 billion (2010)[2]
Net income US$ 21.2 billion (2010)[2]
Total assets US$ 343.7 billion (2010)[2]
Total equity US$ 141.1 billion (2010)[2]
Employees 344,000 (2010)[2]
Another words Apple is making a lot of money by expoiting under age working with terrible working conditions, up to 36 hours working shifts and so on. Saving every penny possible, resulting to shit quality -) And then selling it as the most expensive devices on the market!!!
Just for the reference where other phones are made, so it would give people food for thought why other makes would have better quality then Apple.
Samsung - South Korea
HTC - Taiwan
Sony - Japan - around 50% all the rest through out the world includes the Europe, USA
Blackberry - Canada, Hungary, Mexico
Nokia - Finland, Germany, Emirates, Azerbaijan, China
P.S. Alcatel was French and Ericsson was Swedish -)
