As already said numerous times, and as anyone with more than one 
braincell knows, Samsung has just recently released their new models, 
while Apple's new iPhone models aren't due until later in the year.

Partly because Samsung waits for Apple's new iPhone models to be 
released, and it then takes them six months to copy any new features / 
designs.  ;-)
