Mobile-gadget rivals are leapfrogging Apple with useful features not on iPhones , iPads . This success is most apparent with Apple 's biggest mobile rival , Samsung .

Samsung is more nimble than Apple at improving its devices through software updates . It also has a better reputation for quality and reliability.
