They care about money, and by delaying the iPhone 5 they&apos;ve managed to make even more money than usual. It must be habit that we go for the market share argument so often. A corporation&apos;s responsibility to its shareholders isn&apos;t to spread its logo across the land like a religion, but to return value (real dollars, not imaginary market share dollars) for their investment.  That was slightly more ironic than I intended.&lt;p&gt;Besides, there are plenty of other &quot;hidden&quot; reasons for Apple to sue these Android handset manufacturers. Steve Jobs feels betrayed by Eric Schmidt, Samsung makes eerily close copies of the iPhone, Apple doesn&apos;t attack HP and RIM because this isn&apos;t about actual patent infringement but taking out the smaller manufacturers who can&apos;t defend themselves against Apple Legal.</text></comment>

They are still growing like crazy and they are serving a somewhat different market than Android is. You simply don&apos;t buy an iPhone because you want &apos;some phone&apos;.&lt;p&gt;This is not to say that an iPhone is better than some Android phone, but this is certainly perceived to be something different than &apos;the rest&apos; by most of my friends and colleagues.</text></comment>
