Samsung's Army of 1 Million Won't Win the War With Apple

Updated

The recent battle between the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Apple's iPhone 5 has been one for the ages. But when investors take a step back from the excitement, they'll see a similar dynamic to what played out in the console and early cellphone spec war. As companies struggled to one up each other with incremental gains, they were blindsided by companies like Apple and Nintendo, which came out with not improved, but simply better and more elegant products. The newest Samsung Galaxy S4 doesn't strike the revolutionary chord it needs to in order to topple Apple.

There's no doubt that Apple is at the center of technology's largest revolution ever, and that longtime shareholders have been handsomely rewarded with over 1,000% gains. However, there is a debate raging as to whether Apple remains a buy. The Motley Fool's senior technology analyst and managing bureau chief, Eric Bleeker, is prepared to fill you in on both reasons to buy and reasons to sell Apple, and what opportunities are left for the company (and your portfolio) going forward.
