Apple doesn't do things first but they do them best. There's a reason why they spend a fraction on advertising what Samsung spends and still outsell them by a large margin.

With the Galaxy S5 just beginning to ship, Samsung’s total shipment volume for the first quarter of the year came to 85 million smartphone units, more than the next four competitors — Apple, Huawei, Lenovo and LG — combined.
Now Samsung did lose some sales over the summer, but not nearly enough to move Apple into the #1 spot. Sorry to tell you.

I think it's more because if you want to be in the i-Infrastructure, you don't have any choice. Samsung has nothing to do with that.
Samsung started out making pretty good handsets, then degraded, and is now coming back to high quality (supposedly) with the note 4. Still, comparing hardware to hardware, the iPhone is better built.
Both companies make terribly condescending and pretentious commercials, samsung just makes more of them. Apple's customers do the advertising for them, you can't say the same for Samsung. There's nothing specifically special about a samsung device over any other premium android device. They are at a disadvantage in this regard.
Apple has lost it's innovative side and is now banking on a higher quality device and the fact that there are so many people already tied into their ecosystem. In light of Samsung's curved, dual-screen phone, their innovation seems bloaty rather than truly innovative. It's unfortunate that we have to look to smaller companies to bring true innovation to the industry.
In summation, both companies are flawed but both make more money than I do, so I guess they're doing alright.

Yup, finally getting around to including NFC then crippling the heck out of it is definitely doing it better
