Apple Inc. (AAPL) vs. Samsung: Battle For the ‘Phablet’ Space

Milroy mentions that he expects “a lot of the action in 2013” to come from the phablet space, and he thinks that Samsung can take some tablet market share away from Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL). Here’s what he had to say:

“They [Samsung] really do now dominate the smart phone market, and there’s no doubt about that, at least on a global basis. I think next year we’ll see Samsung and others turn their attention to a much greater extent to the tablet market, and the so-called phablet market.”

On Samsung and Apple’s sales in specific geographical areas, Milroy mentioned the hand-held device market place in China, and had an interesting take:

“I think the whole Android approach is potentially more successful in China, on the grounds that there’s much more scope for localization, it’s much more flexible than the Apple ecosystem in many ways.”
