I don't understand the downvotes to your comment. It is overly simplistic to say that Apple's success is merely due to marketing. As you pointed out, Samsung spends more on marketing (not sure if it is multiples more).
About 6 years ago I switched to Apple for computing needs and now I almost never buy non-Apple products when there is an equivalent Apple product. I trust their build quality and trust the decisions they've made with regard to memory, disk space, etc. Unless they start cutting corners I'm going to be a lifelong Apple person.
I recently bought the Microsoft Band and it feels like a Microsoft product. The build quality is not good. The band does not fit well on my wrist. I'm right in the middle between two sizes. The software quality is not good and I got anomalous results. I'm guessing the Apple Watch will be better and give better results.
