Kinda agree and disagree, iPhone is made by apple regardless what users want, unless they are forced too, like when they made the iPhone have a big screen, as it was ineviatble.
Samsung might listen to customers more, but they do try to enforce their own stuff from time to time, aka Galaxy s6 losing removable battery, microSD and having less battery than S5, no IP rating, and all in the same generation, just for most of it to return into the GS7, or you have Bixby which isn't even finished product, and yet it's part of the "reason" to buy S8, and together with LG, the awful taller phones with wierd ratio, i much prefer wider and larger phone with more surface area, like mine Mate 9.
I prefer any brand over Apple, but Samsung has still many improvement to do, although they getting there, here is mine close to perfection phone specs:
At least 6 inch screen that is wide at least as the Mate 9 and a bit taller, 4500mah+ battery at least, 64GB rom and 6gb ram, i prefer LCD IPS over SAMOLED but both shall do, 1440p or 1080p, strong stereo speakers with great DAC for headphones, great cameras at both low light and regular light as well as great selfie camera, quick charge,microSD,IP68, wireless charge and last but not least, GREAT SOFTWARE SUPPORT and fast updates.
It's a list that no company can accomplish in one phone, Mate 9 for me was the closest to it, as it has best battery life, best performance, great screen, great speakers, average DAC, great both cameras(even in low light, though not as good as s8), while samsung has IP68 and better developer support.
Both phones are good but not great, time will see how the S8 will improve.
a deal breaker for me could be a must have for someone else.
