Comparison between Apple and Samsung changes in the last ten years
The first thing to realize before embarking on this debate is that all the things that have made these two companies stand among the rest are still the one making them stand today. However, that does not mean that there are no changes, which have occurred in the last 10 years. Apple and Samsung have changed literally every day with more innovations and improvement taking center stage in the development of the two companies, largely because of good leadership and the urge to come up with better technology that will touch people's life on a daily basis.

Brand Affection
Talk of brand affection and you will realize that Samsung is gaining a lot as compared to Apple, however; the world and Apple lovers as well seem reluctant to admit it. This is because for the last five years Samsung has been investing heavily of consumer loyalty and not just marketing. One can be perceived right when he or she attributes this to the changes that have happened to these two brands for the last 5 years. Here is the list of changes that have happened to the last two brands in the last 5 years.
When it comes to branding Samsung seems to score higher after it tried to come up with cheaper models that could accommodate people with lower income. However, this cannot be said of Apple since it has been associated with the rich people. This is the reason why Samsung id winning the consumer brand and loyalty better than Apple does. This cheaper model has seen more penetration of mobile technology all over the world. To date mobile technology has become a contributing factor to develop something that has seen the effectiveness in communication and more social connectivity than has never been witnessed before.
Technology
These two companies have been depending on one another with Apple depending on Samsung for its microprocessors and other electronic components thus making Apple critically dependent on the Samsung. Due to the quality of these components, Samsung has emerged as the biggest maker and supplier of these components to other companies around the world. However, there have been a series of court cases between the two players in the technology market.

Furthermore, both companies have come up with slimmer phones with sum sang doing well in this aspect.
Construction and Built Quality
When it comes to construction and built quality Samsung has tried to stay to the traditional mode of glossy and plastic while Apple has come up with metallic airtight body made of anodized aluminum thus making it very admirable. One can reason out that the rationale behind this bodywork is durability something that each customer would want to have. Apple anodized aluminum design n has become so familiar and iconic.
Display in Terms of Big Screen
When it comes to the display in terms of big screen, it has remained one of the major differences between the two companies product. For instance, Samsung smart phones have become so familiar with its clients owing to its crystal clear display not to mention the big screens. However, most of the Apple lovers have a point to put across when it comes to ease in using their products.
