Re: Those thinking of moving to the Note 5...
I wouldn't, and didn't, say I'd AUTOMATICALLY go to an iPhone, if you're talking about me. Overall, I prefer to remain in the Android eco-system, because that's where I'm most likely to find another vendor that will do what I want.
But it is true that as Samsung becomes more like iPhones, Apple is a possibility now whereas before it wasn't. As Samsung removes choices that used to distinguish their phone from iPhones (and, I might add, as Apple increases screen size, thus eliminating another obstacle), Apple is now "in the game," assuming other Android vendors don't pick up the slack, whereas before they were not.
For many people, Apple still won't win for various reasons, but they are certainly a formidable competitor that makes a great product. All I say is, in a market this competitive, is it really a good idea to take a slice of your customer base and let them start looking more closely at your strongest competitor? Even if you win most of those new battles for sales, you've now created battles where none existed before and none had to exist. I.e, ANY loss is a net loss.
